Download the complete audio recording of the webinar titled "Role of the Attorney General’s Office in Long Term Care Facilities and Prevention of Abuse".
Nursing home resident abuse and neglect occurs, but when is it an opportunity for the state Attorney General’s Office to get involved with the provider facility to investigate? The goal of the education is to engage with the management and administrative staff of skilled nursing facilities and healthcare entities and make them aware that the Attorney General’s office is tasked with investigating and prosecuting abuse and neglect of care-dependent persons. The education will discuss the statutes including Medicaid Fraud, 62 P.S. §1407; Abuse of Care-Dependent Person, 18 Pa.C.S. §2713.1; Neglect of Care-Dependent Person, 18 Pa.C.S. §2713; and Financial exploitation of an older adult or care-dependent person 18 Pa.C.S. § 3922.1.; Abuse/Neglect – legal definition of caretakers, care settings, and injury/grading and investigation strategies for nursing homes. It will address how the AGs office works with nursing homes (what you can expect) – as cooperative witnesses as well as facility targets with a brief discussion of cases.
