New York's attorney general on Wednesday accused nursing home operator Centers Health Care and its owners of stealing $83 million in government funds while understaffing its facilities, resulting in widespread neglect, illness and death among residents.
filed in state court in Manhattan, Attorney General Letitia James sought to block four Centers nursing homes in New York from admitting new residents until they are sufficiently staffed, and to hire financial and healthcare monitors to oversee their compliance.
Centers spokesperson Jeffrey Jacomowitz said in a statement that the company "prides itself on its commitment to patient care" and "wholeheartedly" denies the allegations.James said that Rozenberg, Hagler and others used a complex network of companies and sham contracts to pocket $83 million in Medicare, Medicaid and other funding meant for patient care over the last decade.
Residents were routinely left in soiled diapers for hours, and calls for help were ignored, the lawsuit said.
