Woman claims assisted living facility never properly cleaned mold from mother’s apartment

An Atlanta woman says an assisted living facility did not properly treat the mold growing in her elderly mother's apartment.

She believes exposure to that mold negatively impacted her mother's health.

Channel 2's Kerry Kavanaugh spoke to the woman and to the facility, which says it is not to blame.

"There was absolutely no concern for the quality of the environment my mother was provided," Doris Parker told Kavanaugh. "I was quite alarmed. I reported it immediately."

Parker believes her 96-year-old mother spent her final weeks living with dangerous mold.

Esta Lipsky was a resident at the Cohen Home, an assisted living facility in Alpharetta.

Parker says she first noticed mold growing in her mother's bathroom early last summer.

"It was a dark blackish color and it was occupying a corner of the wall," Parker said.

Parker says the home acknowledged a leak coming from the above unit. But, she says her mother waited weeks for the fix.

"I assumed the mold was going to be dealt with in a proper manner," Parker said.
