SHOCKING REPORT: Since March, Attorney General Letitia Jame Has Been Investigating Nursing Homes In Yonkers And Throughout New York – Brian Harrod

Attorney General Tish James’ office is conducting ongoing investigations into more than 20 nursing homes whose reported conduct during the first wave of the pandemic presented particular concern.

A report issued by Attorney General Letitia James states that COVID-19 nursing home deaths may have been undercounted by as much as 50 percent.

The investigations also revealed that nursing homes’ lack of compliance with infection control protocols put residents at increased risk of harm, and facilities that had lower pre-pandemic staffing ratings had higher COVID-19 fatality rates.
