"Neglected Veterans: New Jersey Nursing Homes Violated Constitutional Rights, Says DOJ"

A scathing report by the U.S. Department of Justice has found that the care provided to military veterans at two state-run nursing homes in New Jersey during the pandemic violated residents' constitutional rights. The investigation revealed that the homes in Edison and Paramus had high coronavirus death rates and continued to provide inadequate care even after the pandemic abated. The Justice Department ordered immediate improvements in basic medical care, infection control, data collection, and staff accountability. The state has acknowledged the deficiencies and pledged to make necessary changes.
