Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: W. Neil Thomas, III, and Michael M. Thomas, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellant, Susan Anderson, by her conservators, Rebecca Woods and Southeastern Trust Company.

Attorneys 2: Daniel M. Stefaniuk, Brie Allaman Stewart, and Sharel V. Hooper, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Ascension Health-IS, Inc., and Alexian Village of Tennessee.

Judge(s): FRIERSON

In this action, the plaintiff, through her conservators, asserted health care liability and breach of contract claims against the senior living facility where she resides and its parent corporation. Following some amount of discovery, the parties filed competing motions for partial summary judgment concerning the breach of contract and financial claims. The trial court conducted a hearing regarding the motions and granted partial summary judgment in favor of the senior living facility based on the terms of the contract signed by the plaintiff. The trial court further certified the judgment as final. The plaintiff has appealed. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.
