Nursing home CEO fined for violations
LTC Liability Monitor, November 27, 2006
The CEO of two Redding, CA, nursing homes and his corporation were fined $18,000 last week for jeopardizing the health and safety of residents, reported the Associated Press (AP). The CEO also received a 60-day suspended jail sentence and three years' probation for unsafe practices at the facilities. Complaints from residents and their families included persistent understaffing and unsanitary conditions, according to reports. The CEO was arrested in December 2005 and earlier this month pleaded no contest to two counts of violating health and safety regulations. No-contest pleas to four counts of elder abuse were entered on behalf of his company, according to the AP.
