Senior citizens are living longer than ever, meaning that an increased number of seniors will require nursing home care in the coming years. Despite this substantial need, the number of nursing homes is declining across the country. According to a study by the Long Term Care Community Coalition, New York’s nursing homes are among the most underperforming in the United States. Unfortunately, residents in New York nursing homes suffer from abuse and neglect daily.
If you or an elderly loved one suffered abuse or neglect in a New York nursing home, you do not have to fight for justice alone. At Dalli & Marino, LLP, our attorneys have 28 years of experience helping victims of nursing home abuse hold negligent parties fully accountable for their losses. When you partner with us, you can rest assured that a compassionate and seasoned legal professional will handle your case.
How is New York Cracking Down on Predatory Nursing Homes?
While nursing home operators tend to portray themselves as victims, they have a reliable source of revenue through public funding. According to news outlet Syracuse.com, the lack of accountability in New York nursing homes allows them to siphon funds away from resources that residents desperately need with little to no consequences.
Fortunately, steps are being taken to address these upsetting concerns and hold nursing home operators accountable for their complex fraud network. New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, has filed lawsuits against three of the state’s largest nursing homes due to how the facilities have diverted funds and neglected patients. Diverting these funds has devastating impacts on residents while lining the pockets of the nursing home operators.
Court filings for the cases detail substandard nursing home conditions, including unacceptable hygiene, neglect, and gross understaffing. Additionally, their fraud also gives off the public impression that the nursing homes are struggling financially. These lawsuits, as well as other important work by New York’s legislature, are bringing awareness to nursing home fraud and beginning to hold operators accountable for the harm they have caused.
