It was only a matter of time before this happened. I hope they really look at these deaths, and if they find any foul play or neglect issues, people need to be held accountable.
Attorney General Charles Foti said Wednesday that 13 nursing homes and four hospitals in area’s hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina are under criminal investigation by his office.
Foti told a Senate panel more arrests could come. His office already arrested St. Bernard nursing home owners on nearly three dozen negligent homicide charges in the deaths of nursing home patients and others.“We are investigating every death that happened,” Foti said. “We have filed charges against one institution and there may be other charges.”
News of the criminal investigations caught top nursing home and hospital industry officials by surprise.
Louisiana Nursing Home Association executive director Joe Donchess said later Wednesday he was aware the attorney general’s office investigators visited nursing homes and asked questions.
