After 2008 Fall, Elderly Woman Wins Multimillion Jury Verdict Over Bedford Complex

For 22 hours, 95-year-old Edna Anderson lay naked on the floor of her apartment in Bedford's Parkwood Retirement Community, an independent-living complex. Anderson said she had pulled an emergency alert cord, but the system didn't work and no one bothered to check on her when she didn't appear for meals.
