Failure to provide basic care and services to residents has led to a $2 million settlement between a chain of nursing homes and the state attorney general's office.
Reliant Senior Care Holdings, Inc. operates nursing homes in several counties thru ought Pennsylvania, recently selling 22 of the properties in Luzerne, Lackawanna, and Columbia Counties, but agreed to pay the settlement which the state's secretary of health says will go to improving life for the 80,000 people who live in all nursing homes in our state.
An attorney general's investigation found Reliant failed to provide basic services at its nursing homes in the state.
The secretary of health says 60 percent of the $2 million settlement with Reliant Senior Care will go towards better oversight at all nursing homes in Pennsylvania.
