New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the owners and operators of four nursing homes, accusing them of fraud and neglect of residents. TimMcNicholas reports.
James says residents suffered from dehydration, malnutrition and an increased risk of death.Albert Dunn's family remembers him as a dad and grandpa, full of joy. But Dunn's daughter, Marie, says when she visited him at the Martine Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in White Plains in February of 2020,"The diaper, when I walked over to him, it was soaking wet.""My dad was literally halfway off the bed and the room smelled, such a stench," Marie Dunn said.
Families say their loved ones developed infections and sepsis from untreated bed sores and sustained life-changing injuries from falls. The suit also says the owners diverted more than $83 million in Medicare and Medicaid funds to enrich themselves and their family and friends, rather than using the money on much-needed staff and resident care.
When asked what can be done to ensure that this doesn't happen at other facilities, James said,"We'll be having conversations with members of the state Legislature, as well as the speaker."
