Background. After a hospitalization at North Shore Medical Center/Salem Hospital (NSMC) primarily for pneumonia, Edward A. Cahill was admitted to the Sutton Hill Center (Sutton Hill) for rehabilitation. Sutton Hill placed Cahill, age eighty-seven, in a room with a patient suffering from a Clostridium Difficile (C. Diff) infection. Sutton Hill neither informed Cahill's family members about the infection nor advised them to follow any infection protocols. During her frequent visits, Cahill's daughter, Eileen Moali, never observed the staff use gowns or gloves. On September 24, 2013, twelve days after his admission, Sutton Hill transferred Cahill to another room.
