NY Attorney General accuses nursing home owners of stealing $83 million, neglecting residents

New York's attorney general filed a lawsuit against four nursing home operators, accusing them of stealing $83 million in government funds and neglecting residents.
The lawsuit alleges widespread neglect and poor care at the nursing homes, including untreated injuries, infections and hundreds of deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The owners turned the nursing homes into "moneymaking machines," siphoning off funds for rent, loans and payments to family companies while neglecting residents.
The attorney general is seeking to prohibit new admissions at the homes, force the operators to repay the $83 million and make improvements.
The lawsuit is the largest fraud action against nursing homes in New York.
