| Annotation | Advocates for nursing home residents in Philadelphia began discovering gross neglect in facilities owned or managed by the largest nursing home corporation in the area in 1989. This paper describes two of the cases and how the corporation's policies promoted consistently substandard care. The paper then discusses the advocates' frustrating efforts to ensure the appropriate regulatory agencies addressed the on-going neglect in these facilities and their eventual decision, on behalf of their clients, to turn to the criminal justice system for assistance.
