An Invercargill man spent some of his final days in significant pain with an undiagnosed broken leg because of the failings of his rest-home.
The man (Mr A), aged in his 70s, who was in the dementia ward at the Rowena Jackson Retirement Village, complained of a painful upper thigh. While the caregiver did report this to a nurse, the nurse did not use a pain assessment tool or pain observation chart.

Here s what to know.
Non-spouses with flexibility
If the beneficiary is the minor child of the deceased person, the 10-year depletion rule kicks in once they reach the age of majority where they live. In most states, that s age 18.
Before reaching that point, though, the child would have to take annual required minimum distributions, or RMDs as they re known, based on their own life expectancy. (Those required withdrawals typically kick in for retirement savers at age 72 or 70½ if reached before 2020 based on the account owner s expected lifespan.) So if you have a 10-year-old who takes RMDs, they d do that until age 18 when they d flip to the 10-year rule, said Brian Ellenbecker, a certified financial planner with Shakespeare Wealth Management in Pewaukee, Wisconsin.
