(Harrisburg) — The Pennsylvania attorney general’s office is suing the operator of 36 nursing homes in the state, saying the facilities’ staff failed to meet residents’ most basic human needs. 

Attorney General Kathleen Kane filed the 101-page court complaint Wednesday and encouraged others with complaints about Golden Living facilities to contact her office.  

The court complaint names 14 Golden Living centers, located in Harrisburg, Camp Hill, Altoona, Lansdale, Clarion, Gettysburg, Mount Lebanon, Monroeville, Phoenixville, Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre, Tunkhannock, Erie and Pottsville.

A Golden Living spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. 

The attorney general’s lawsuit says the Golden Living facilities are enormously profitable and its parent companies were unjustly enriched. It’s asking the court for a settlement equal to all the money they received from the 14 centers.
