South Houston woman in hospice care recovering after apartment ceiling collapses on her
Ebanks, 59, was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD. Family members said she also suffered a heart attack recently and was sent home by doctors to live out her final days.
She told KPRC she was in her room Monday night when the ceiling collapsed which left her with cuts and bruises to her legs.Ebanks said her sister Theresa Drake contacted the management team at the La Bella vista apartments on South Shaver but got no real answers as to when the damage would be repaired.She explained that the unit has been leaking since November but the management team at the complex failed to make any repairs.
“We’d like for them to do their part and fix it so we can get her set up. It’s difficult to do what we’re doing out of the living room because stuff’s spread everywhere,” said Drake.A short time later maintenance crews were out at the apartment repairing the issue. Drake said she was happy with the work and hopes to make her sister as comfortable as possible during her final days.
