A class action lawsuit brought by patients and families against a California nursing home group has resulted in an agreement to pay a $50 million settlement following a jury trial in which it was found that Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. failed to meet the state requirements of maintaining 3.2 nurses per patient per day.
The failure of nursing homes to retain sufficient staff is a leading cause of nursing home abuse and neglect which is all too prevalent in the industry. Overworked nurses and nurses’ assistants frequently simply do not have the time to give the care which patients need and to which they are entitled. Although mandated state inspections of nursing home facilities are intended to make sure that the standard for patient care staffing is not violated, some nursing home operators find ways to avoid detection in order to increase their profitability.

No doubt, these days it really happens. But even there are some to which if you really make a review, then I can surely say that you would come to a conclusion that all nursing home cares are not so.
I was very satisfied with the work you guys did for me. Honesty was the key, which makes you, guys a step above the rest!
