The San Mateo senior-living facility where two residents died after accidentally being served dishwashing fluid is now facing a hefty fine and the threat of losing its elderly care residency license, according to reports filed by the California Department of Social Services.
Trudy Maxwell and Peter Schroder Jr., both 93 and residentsĀ of Atria Park of San Mateo, died last year after they allegedly drank toxic dishwashing fluid mistakenly served as cranberry juice. The facility employee that is accused of pouring the fluid into a beverage container, 35-year-old Alisia Rivera Mendoza of East Palo Alto, was charged April 11 with two counts of felony involuntary manslaughter and three counts of felony elder abuse.
