Lawsuit Alleges Nursing Homes Took On Patients They Could Not Properly Care For To Increase Profits

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:  a Federal lawsuit alleges among other claims that a group of Washington state nursing homes regularly took on patients that they could not properly care for in order to boost profits.

The lawsuit names as a defendant a company that runs 15 nursing homes in the Washington area.  Plaintiffs allege that these homes took in patients without evaluating whether they could be given the proper care and treatment at the facility but solely focused on the added profits new patients would bring.

Family members and friends, justifiably, have high expectations for the quality of care their loved ones will receive at a nursing home.  However, too often, we see cases like these, where the nursing home industry has overlooked care in pursuit of larger profits.  The law firm of Franklin Gray & White assists those who have been the victim of Nursing Home Abuse & Negligence.  If believe a loved has been the victim of nursing home abuse and neglect, please contact one of the attorneys at Franklin Gray & White for a free consultation.
