Brookdale Senior Living Sued by California Attorney General

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra says the company ignored laws on patient safety and gave false information to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid.

• Brookdale “endangered the health of its patients,” in part by failing to properly prepare patients for transfer or discharge, Becerra says
• By lying to CMS, the company “fraudulently increased its star rating in several categories to attract prospective patients and their families,” Becerra says
• Becerra joins district attorneys of four California counties and the Los Angeles city attorney
• BKD shares briefly erase gains before climbing again
