Waverly nursing home put on probation, nurse suspended in connection to death of a resident, documents show 
ABC KETV-7, Omaha, NE; by Jake Anderson and Aaron Hegarty; 7/17/24 
A nursing facility has been placed on probation by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services in connection to the death of a resident. Constance Glantz, 74, was mistakenly declared dead at The Mulberry at Waverly, a nursing home, in June. Glantz was then taken to a funeral home in Lincoln, which realized that she was still breathing. The 74-year-old, who was in hospice care, was declared dead hours later at a Lincoln hospital. A public records request by KETV Investigates shows that a state investigation into the facility in Waverly found the registered nurse on duty failed to take Glantz's blood pressure after it was believed she had died. That nurse was suspended, according to the state investigation. Documents show that the state also found a second case where a patient was not evaluated correctly. ...
