(Mina Kim/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Elsie Fossum’s nieces and nephews say she was the aunt you wanted to have. “She gave us our first car!” said Janet Flynn, Fossum’s niece.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A ’59 Ford Galaxy with massive fins on it,” Fossum’s nephew, Jim Fossum, recalled. “It was two-tone paint — pink or coral, whatever you want to call it — and white with gold hubcaps and stuff. It was just something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting in the sun-dappled backroom of a lakeside home in Walker, Minn., the Fossums remembered their aunt. Elsie Fossum was a teacher who never married or had kids. After moving to Southern California in the 1940s, she worked mostly as a librarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110505\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 228px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Elsie-Fossum.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110505 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Elsie-Fossum-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"Elsie Fossum travelled widely, say her family members, and New Zealand was one of her favorite countries.

She always looked wonderful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the morning of July 3, 2006, Elsie Fossum lay in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor at Claremont Place, a Los Angeles-area assisted living facility where the 95-year-old woman had lived for two years. Her eyes were bruising black, her lip and upper palate were badly cut, and her right arm was broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She looked like she went four or five rounds with Muhammad Ali,” Beverlee McPherson recalled when Fossum returned from the hospital. McPherson, a registered nurse, supervised the nurse assistants at Claremont Place.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nurse assistants provide intimate care. They bathe, feed and dress the elderly, ill or disabled. The lone caregiver on Fossum’s floor that night reported Fossum fell, but McPherson and other Claremont Place staff suspected abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three weeks later, Fossum died. Her 109-pound frame succumbed to her wounds and to dehydration. Fossum was unable to take much food or water through her swollen mouth. A Los Angeles County coroner could not rule out assault and called the manner of Fossum’s death undetermined. McPherson is resolute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 100 percent convinced she didn’t fall out of bed, 100 percent. If you saw this woman’s face, I mean her entire face was beaten to a pulp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency room nurses who treated Fossum at the hospital also suspected abuse, according to official records. The hospital quickly notified the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for de-certifying nurse assistants and home health aides who violate standards of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction-258x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - noaction\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Internal documents obtained by the Center for Investigative Reporting show department investigators shelved Fossum’s case for 6½ years. In February of this year, department investigators closed the case and determined no action was warranted against Fossum’s caregiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her aunt’s funeral, Janet Flynn said Claremont Place staff alerted the family that Elsie Fossum may have been a victim of elder abuse. Seven years later, the family is no closer to understanding what happened to their aunt. Their calls and emails to state agencies and local police turned up little information. They have never heard from California’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would think that this would be very chilling to anyone who has loved ones in a facility, especially if they’re not immediately local like we weren’t,” Flynn said. “And you think safeguards are in place and you think that staff are qualified and that this is being regulated, and this I find chilling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has decided Fossum’s case warrants further review. A detective there said they opened a homicide investigation into her death this year. Fossum’s caregiver is the sole person of interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A sprawling backlog of cases\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fossum’s case is not the only one where department investigators were slow to act after allegations of physical or sexual abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2007, nurse assistant Ricky Diocampo molested a 59-year-old female patient at Del Rio Sanitarium in Los Angeles County. This was not the first time Diocampo had assaulted this woman, court records would later show.

It was just something else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting in the sun-dappled backroom of a lakeside home in Walker, Minn., the Fossums remembered their aunt. Elsie Fossum was a teacher who never married or had kids. After moving to Southern California in the 1940s, she worked mostly as a librarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110505\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 228px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Elsie-Fossum.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-110505 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Elsie-Fossum-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"Elsie Fossum travelled widely, say her family members, and New Zealand was one of her favorite countries.

She always looked wonderful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the morning of July 3, 2006, Elsie Fossum lay in a pool of blood on her bedroom floor at Claremont Place, a Los Angeles-area assisted living facility where the 95-year-old woman had lived for two years.

McPherson, a registered nurse, supervised the nurse assistants at Claremont Place.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nurse assistants provide intimate care. They bathe, feed and dress the elderly, ill or disabled. The lone caregiver on Fossum’s floor that night reported Fossum fell, but McPherson and other Claremont Place staff suspected abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less than three weeks later, Fossum died. Her 109-pound frame succumbed to her wounds and to dehydration. Fossum was unable to take much food or water through her swollen mouth. A Los Angeles County coroner could not rule out assault and called the manner of Fossum’s death undetermined. McPherson is resolute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m 100 percent convinced she didn’t fall out of bed, 100 percent. If you saw this woman’s face, I mean her entire face was beaten to a pulp.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency room nurses who treated Fossum at the hospital also suspected abuse, according to official records. The hospital quickly notified the California Department of Public Health, the agency responsible for de-certifying nurse assistants and home health aides who violate standards of care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-110511\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/09/Public-Health-noaction-258x300.png\" alt=\"Public Health - noaction\" width=\"258\" height=\"300\">\u003c/a>Internal documents obtained by the Center for Investigative Reporting show department investigators shelved Fossum’s case for 6½ years. In February of this year, department investigators closed the case and determined no action was warranted against Fossum’s caregiver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her aunt’s funeral, Janet Flynn said Claremont Place staff alerted the family that Elsie Fossum may have been a victim of elder abuse. Seven years later, the family is no closer to understanding what happened to their aunt. Their calls and emails to state agencies and local police turned up little information. They have never heard from California’s Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would think that this would be very chilling to anyone who has loved ones in a facility, especially if they’re not immediately local like we weren’t,” Flynn said. “And you think safeguards are in place and you think that staff are qualified and that this is being regulated, and this I find chilling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has decided Fossum’s case warrants further review. A detective there said they opened a homicide investigation into her death this year.
