ADA Suit Filed Against Senior Facility

An assisted living facility in Lincoln, Nebraska rejected a temporary worker because she was deaf, according to a lawsuit filed today. The EEOC says Haven Manor violated ADA law when it refused the placement of certified nursing assistant Amanda Huff. Staffing agency Willingham Health Services sent Huff to Haven Manor in the fall of 2007 to cover an evening shift but she was sent home because of her hearing loss.
