The Arizona Attorney General’s Office has resolved litigation with Brookhaven on 131st Place, and its owners, Levi and Holly Walker, over repeated non-compliance with door-alarm requirements at the assisted living home, Brookhaven Home, they operated.
The State’s litigation followed the tragic death of Robert J. Pollmann in June 2024. Mr. Pollmann’s daughter placed him in Brookhaven Home after searching for a place that could address her father’s dementia-related wandering risk. Only a short time after moving in, Mr. Pollmann walked out the front door of the home and sadly was found dead just two days later. Before and on the day of Mr. Pollmann’s elopement, the Arizona Department of Health Services had found Brookhaven Home did not have properly functioning door alarms on all egress doors.
The State intervened in the suit filed by Mr. Pollmann’s daughter and raised violations of the Adult Protective Services Act and the Consumer Fraud Act. The State alleged Defendants’ repeated failure to ensure properly functioning door alarms led to Mr. Pollmann’s death.
