CA: Class Action Against Skilled Healthcare Group Settles for $62.8 Mil

A class action involving violations of nursing home staffing regulations at Skilled Healthcare Group nursing facilities in California settled for $62.8 million on Sept. 8.

The parties came to an agreement after a jury in the Humboldt County Superior Court awarded the class plaintiffs $671 million for violations of state nursing home staffing requirements in July (Vinnie Lavender, et al. v. Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc., No. DR060264, Calif. Super., Humboldt Co.).

We need to see more of these class actions to make these operators clean up their act!

I'm sure they'll get off without paying much, but it sure makes my day to see this kind of a figure!
