State politicians have released a list of nursing home facilities who have a track record of poor care on a repetitive basis. Among these facilities are recurrent offenders which require “increased government oversight.” According to the senators who publicly released the list, the purpose of the disclosure was to assist the general public when looking for consistently safe care for their loved ones.

Among these facilities was a home that was banned from admitting new patients due to its failure to properly investigate, report, and prevent sexual abuse.
