New Mexico's Attorney General Gary King sued one of the nation's largest nursing home chains over inadequate resident care and poor staffing practices.
The purpose of this action is to send a message to nursing homes that failure to provide the care that patients need and that nursing homes are paid for will have legal consequences.
The attorney general is alleging that the present company, was profiting by skimping on staff "at the expense of the physical well-being of vulnerable nursing home residents."
