TL;DR Summary

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit accusing the operators of four nursing homes in New York of misusing over $83 million in government funds and neglecting residents, including instances of malnutrition and leaving them sitting in their own waste. The lawsuit alleges that the owners and operators of Centers Health Care used Medicaid and Medicare funds for personal enrichment instead of resident care. The homes were also accused of understaffing, leading to neglect and dangerous falls. The lawsuit seeks the return of the misused funds and a ban on new admissions until staffing is increased.
