Lawsuit Seeking Class Action Status Filed Against Alden Group, A Chicago Nursing Home

Case ID: 4952

Category: Drugs / Medical

Last Update: 12/19/2006

Country:

A lawsuit seeking class action status has been filed in Cook County against the Alden Group, a Chicago nursing home which includes sites in Harvey and Orland Park, argues that the hours of care provided to each resident falls short of the minimum demanded under state rules.

The Chicago lawsuit supports its central charge using staffing numbers collected from a Web site, which in turn attributes the data to the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The numbers, however, do not match the ones reported by the government agency's own Web site.

The lawsuit seeks to represent residents residing in nursing homes owned by the Alden Group.
