A Beverly Grove nursing home must pay a marathon-running woman more than $2.3 million after she was abused and neglected while in the facility’s care, resulting in permanent injuries, the woman’s attorneys said in a press release.

Betsy Jentz, 84, has finished 27 Los Angeles Marathons, most recently in 2019, but when she had hip surgery in 2020, she was admitted to Country Villa Wilshire Healthcare Center for her recovery.
