AI-generated summary
Rose Gajica, a 66-year-old NDIS participant with advanced multiple sclerosis residing in supported accommodation, suffered two major strokes on 11 December 2022 whilst at home. Emergency services were immediately called by her carers and she was transported to Monash Health–Casey Hospital, where she received medical treatment before dying seven days later from right middle and posterior cerebral artery stroke. The coroner found no evidence of inadequate clinical management or care by either the supported living provider or hospital staff that caused or contributed to her death. This was a natural death occurring in a vulnerable person receiving disability support. The case highlights the importance of routine coronial scrutiny of deaths among supported persons, but found no deficiencies in the emergency response or subsequent hospital care that could have prevented this outcome.
