(Radio Iowa) – The State Appeals Board has approved a three-point-four MILLION dollar settlement with the mother of a resident at the state-run Glenwood Resource Center who died after inadequate care at the facility

Thirty-year-old Joshua Ramspott had cerebral palsy and had lived his entire adult life at the facility in Glenwood, which provided care to residents with profound intellectual and physical disabilities. He died in a Council Bluffs hospital in early 2022. Two state investigations concluded Glenwood staff failed to provide Ramspott with extra fluids after a kidney infection and he died several weeks later of sepsis.

The Glenwood Resource Center was closed this past June. Two U-S Justice Department Investigations concluded the facility provided inadequate care and subjected some residents to unethical experiments.
