South Jersey nursing homes accused of profiteering as residents endure neglect

Two South Jersey nursing homes are facing serious allegations of financial misconduct and neglect after a state investigation found they inflated rent prices, deliberately understaffed their facilities and pocketed tens of millions of dollars while residents lived in what officials described as “deplorable conditions.”

Walsh argues that greater transparency is needed to track how public funds, particularly Medicaid dollars, are spent and to ensure they are actually supporting patient care.
