After spending days in critical condition, Brenda Cooper, 66, succumbed to injuries she sustained on July 16, officials said.

Assisted living centers are rare in Mass, but many families still don’t know what they offer — or what they don’t.

A 10th victim has died as a result of injuries sustained in a devastating fire at an assisted-living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, according to the district attorney's office.

Elderly residents – some in wheelchairs and some dependent on oxygen tanks – were blinded by deadly smoke as they tried to escape an assisted-living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, which caught fire Sunday evening.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — A 10th victim has died from the fire that ripped through a Massachusetts assisted-living facility earlier this week, officials said Thursday.

The city of Fall River on Thursday released six years' worth of fire inspection reports for the Gabriel House assisted living facility, where a fire earlier this week claimed the lives of 10 residents.

The Massachusetts assisted-living facility that caught fire Sunday evening was slated to undergo a recertification and compliance review process later this year.

The Massachusetts assisted-living facility where a fatal fire killed nine people was caring for dozens of aging residents reliant on wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, but it lacked the safety measures and most of the staffing requirements that are commonplace in nursing homes.

The Fall River mayor’s office has confirmed all Gabriel House residents displaced by the tragic Sunday fire that claimed nine lives now have new living arrangements.

Investigations into what starts a fire require a methodical look at the scene and can take a long time to complete.
