AG Campbell announced a $2.75 million settlement with Bear Mountain Healthcare LLC (“Bear Mountain”), along with its affiliates and current and former skilled nursing facilities, resolving allegations that Bear Mountain knowingly understaffed its facilities, resulting in resident neglect.

“Elders deserve to live with dignity and respect. To ensure nursing home residents receive adequate care, state law requires facilities to meet minimum staffing standards. When facilities fail to meet those requirements, my office will take action to hold them accountable and protect residents. This settlement holds Bear Mountain accountable for systematic understaffing that resulted in neglect and provides meaningful relief to properly meet residents’ needs moving forward.” -AG Campbell
