Placerville nursing home fined in connection with death

State regulators have fined a Placerville nursing home $21,000 for violations that led to the death of a World War II veteran nearly two years ago.
Donald Forseth, 86, of Pollock Pines, died in November 2006 after becoming severely dehydrated at El Dorado Care Center, where he had lived for four months.
An investigation by the state Department of Health Services found that the facility failed to monitor the man's fluid intake, which led to severe dehydration, kidney failure and death. It also faulted the center for staffing deficiencies and other problems.
