The attorney general is accusing the Long Island nursing home of years of fraud and resident neglect.
A New York nursing home left elderly residents to live in "heartbreaking and inhumane" conditions while its owners diverted more than $22 million for themselves, New York Attorney General Letitia James alleged Friday.
This is the third enforcement action the attorney general's office has taken in recent weeks to stop pervasive fraud in nursing homes in the state."Cold Spring Hills' owners put profits over patient care and left vulnerable New Yorkers to live in heartbreaking and inhumane conditions," James said. "From Buffalo to Long Island, every nursing home in New York must abide by laws that require the best care for New Yorkers.
Substandard conditions in nursing homes around the country were exposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. -A man was admitted to Cold Spring Hills to regain mobility after a car crash left him badly injured. During his time at Cold Spring Hills, he received such poor care that he lost at least 30 pounds and his injury worsened. He had a preexisting pressure sore, and Cold Spring Hills' medical records reflect that his pressure injury increased in size and advanced from a stage 3 to the most severe stage 4 while he was under the care of Cold Spring Hills.
