Extendicare Faces Class Action Lawsuit
Extendicare Homes, a subsidiary of Extendicare Health Services, Inc., faces a class action lawsuit filed in King County Superior Court in Washington State against Extendicare Homes, Fir Lane Terrace Convalescent Center, Inc. and 15 other long-term skilled nursing care facilities in Washington. The suit alleges inadequate staffing. The attorney for plaintiffs alleges that Extendicare's corporate strategy is to "maximize profits at the expense of the elderly and vulnerable people it claims to serve".
