Florida Nursing Home Lawyer Blog
The attorney general in Pennsylvania has filed legal action against a large, corporate nursing home provider with 36 locations in that state. Of those 36, Attorney General Kathleen Kain alleges 14 have engaged in deceptive and unlawful business practices, while making a substantial profit off the state.
The chain, which is based in California and has centers in Florida as well as in numerous other states throughout the country, is accused of failing to meet the most basic care needs of residents, despite accepting state dollars (primarily through Medicare) to do so.
In court documents, the attorney general cites dozens of confidential witnesses who allege they were misled to believe their elderly, frail, vulnerable loved ones were receiving excellent, quality care, when in fact facilities were understaffed and patients were at grave risk of harm.
