Beverly Enterprises Hit with Sanctions
Beverly Enterprises is one of the nation's biggest nursing home operators. A judge in Arkansas was not impressed with the conduct of the company, and hit it with sanctions.
The judge went further and said this: "On its own suggestion, the Court will take under advisement what addiitional sanctions, if any, shall be imposed against Defendants, including whether BEI [Beverly] Chief Executive Officer William Floyd, BHRS and BEA Corporate President David Devereaux or others should be incarcerated as a result of the Beverly Defendants' contempt of court, pending further research into the Court's powers in this regard."
The judge also entered a default judgment of the breach of contract claim in the class action case. That will cost the company $8,000,000.
My husband is in a Beverly-owned nursing home in Minnesota. My research has showen SEC sanction against Bevery dating to Y2K or Y2K01 - affirmed by the appelate court on appeal. Is this the same suit or another one against Beverly. I have been contemplating action against Beverly concerning my husband's care (lack there of).
