A lawsuit was filed against the corporate owner and operator of multiple assisted living facilities. It alleges that its patients are being put at risk of injury by the company's systemic failure to adequately staff its facilities.
Four different law firms filed the lawsuit and will attempt to have it certified as a class action. “Selecting an assisted living facility is extremely stressful, and people are not in a position to discover the risk of harm they may face,” an attorney representing the plaintiffs said. “The plaintiff brought this case wanting Aegis to adequately disclose the facts about its resident assessments and staffing practices so residents and families can make informed decisions before entering Aegis' facilities.” For more, read the story.
