An Ohio nursing home is at the center of a homicide investigation following the death of a 72-year-old resident.

Arbors of Ohio, which has multiple facilities in the state, is being accused of medically neglecting Lucy Garcia in the months before her death in July of this year.

Garcia had been a resident of their Oregon nursing home for years before her death, which was ruled a homicide from complications of a severe bed sore.

According to an autopsy report undertaken by the Lucas County Coroner, her death came about due to medical neglect.

The report said she had sustained the sore between May and June, with the Garcia family attorney describing it as a 'big open wound on her backside'.

Matthew Mooney, who is representing the bereaved family, told WTOL11 that Garcia was well loved by her family.

He said: 'They're devastated. Lucy was the matriarch of her family. She had a huge family.

'She had grandchildren, great-grandchildren. Four sons. And they're all devastated by her loss.

'They trusted the Arbors to take care of Lucy, they trusted the Arbors to provide for her, and the Arbors represented to them they could do just that. Clearly they couldn't.'

According to the coroner's office, the family had reported a decline in her health in the weeks leading up to her death.
