The Complaints allege that the defendants actively concealed this knowledge from their elderly and infirm residents as well as their representatives, thereby convincing them to agree to be admitted to the facilities based on false and misleading representations as to the compliance of the facilities with applicable regulations and based upon a misrepresentation as to the character of the quality of care to be provided to residents. In doing so, the facilities violated the rights afforded to all residents of skilled nursing facilities. It is alleged that Shlomo Rechnitz knowingly directed operations of the 15 facilities and each of the more than 60 skilled nursing facilities he effectively controls in the State of California.
The facility, plaintiff and defendants for each Complaint are listed in the table below. The defendants are the owners, managers, parent company and/or management company, and actively controlled the respective facility.
