Bankruptcy as a Business Strategy

Genesis HealthCare – once the nation’s largest nursing home chains – filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in July 2025, citing more than $2 billion in debt and mounting malpractice and wrongful death lawsuits. In early December, the company reported that CPE 88988 LLC – an affiliate tied to Genesis’s private-equity (PE) ownership group – submitted the highest bid at its bankruptcy auction for all or substantially all of its assets, raising renewed alarms about the role of PE in the nursing home sector.

In our December 16 webinar, elder abuse attorney Ed Dudensing explains how Big Finance is growing its market share in long-term care facilities, what that investment suggests about facility profitability, and how it affects resident well-being. He focuses on two major investment vehicles – real estate investment trusts (REITs) and private equity – and describes how they can influence day-to-day operations. Included in this discussion are emails and other materials from a private equity company that supported a significant jury verdict against the defendants in an elder abuse lawsuit.

The Long Term Care Community Coalition is deeply disheartened by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ decision to repeal the federal minimum staffing standards for nursing homes.

It's a sad day for current and future nursing home residents and their families, as the federal government has announced that it is repealing the nation's minimum staffing standards. Those standards were very low, but at least they provided a floor below which no facility should continue to admit more residents.

Shame on U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Dr. Mehmet Oz for turning their backs on vulnerable residents and the nursing staff who care for them. Many people will suffer unnecessary pain and degradation as a result of this action.

Nursing homes should not be operated like warehouses for vulnerable humans!

This Giving Tuesday, we're taking a moment to look back with gratitude — and to look ahead with determination. At the Long Term Care Community Coalition, every stride we've made this year has been fueled by supporters like you who believe in dignity, safety, and respect for every long-term care resident.

Because of your generosity, we strengthened advocacy for resident protections, released new research and educational resources, hosted monthly webinars that reached families and professionals nationwide, and continued our watchdog efforts to monitor care quality across the country. These accomplishments reflect what we can achieve together when we stand up for those who too often cannot speak for themselves.

Yet the need remains urgent. Too many residents still face neglect, poor care, and systemic failures that threaten their safety and well-being.

This Giving Tuesday, we're asking you to join us once again. Your donation helps us expand our advocacy, develop new tools and resources for families and caregivers, shine a light on care quality issues, and push for policy reforms that protect residents' rights every single day.

Thank you for your generosity, your compassion, and your unwavering commitment to this mission. On behalf of LTCCC and the residents we fight for, we are deeply grateful for your continued support.

Thank you for your consideration.

Widespread fraud and chronic accountability failures continue to plague the U.S. nursing home system, allowing operators to siphon funds while vulnerable residents suffer the consequences. Two recent federal actions – involving Joseph Schwartz, whose Skyline empire collapsed under the weight of a massive tax fraud scheme, and Benjamin Landa, whose Pinnacle Multicare facility was found to have improperly billed tens of millions of dollars in Medicare payments – underscore just how deeply financial exploitation is embedded in the long-term care industry.

“It’s such an in-your-face flouting of the most basic standards of nursing home care, and really the standards of humanity,” said Richard Mollot, executive director of the New York-based advocacy group Long Term Care Community Coalition.

Fall River Healthcare has been cited for mistreating residents, even after it was placed on a special enforcement list and its parent company was accused of deliberate understaffing.

The Special Focus Facility (SFF) Program, a federal program created to address the nation’s worst nursing homes with persistent failures of care, is falling short of its intended goal of sustained improvement, according to a new analysis by the HHS Office of Inspector General.

Staff in nursing homes often stay silent after witnessing abuse or neglect, fearing retaliation from supervisors, managers, or co-workers.
