LOS ANGELES â A coalition of California prosecutors sued the nationâs largest senior living operator, alleging it ignored laws that protect patients when they are discharged from skilled nursing facilities and it exaggerated the level of care to the federal governmentâs nursing home rating system.
The coalition led by Kern County District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer, which includes California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, sued Tennessee-based Brookdale Senior Living Inc. in connection with 10 California skilled nursing facilities alleges that the company abruptly transfers or discharges residents to bring in newcomers who will bring in more money. The facilities are usually paid more by Medicare than other sources and when that coverage ends there is an incentive to discharge a resident, the lawsuit alleges.
