The family of a Santa Ana matriarch is suing a hospital, alleging disturbing conditions hastened their mothers’ death.

Loved ones claim she suffered maggots and more, after recovering from COVID-19.

Concepcion Covarrubias, 65, was stricken with COVID-19 in the summer of 2020. So family check-ins happened over FaceTime once she was admitted at South Coast Global Medical Center in Santa Ana.

Daughter Carolina Mijango recalls walking her mom inside.

“I never thought taking her there would be the last day I would see her alive and well,” she said.

After weeks of hospitalization, infections and kidney failure, her mother was COVID free.

But when family came to take her home, Mijango says her mom’s bed was unclean, and her trash cans filled with syringes and used gloves.

Then her brother saw movement in their mothers nose.

“He picks from her nose. He gets a maggot,” she said. “Then he sees more maggots, coming out of her nose. That’s when we basically, it was devastating.”

The family collected the larvae and is now suing South Coast Global Medical Center for elder abuse, negligence and wrongful death.

A hospital spokesman declined to comment due to pending litigation.

Concepcion Covarrubias’ daughter resents what she’s heard so far.

“They told us, ‘It must have been a fly that basically got in her nose and left droppings there.”

Concepcion Covarrubias died Aug. 21, 2020.

Her family has a court date in January 2022.

“She wasn’t deserving of how she left.” Mijango said. “That lack of care killed her.”
