Nursing home fined almost $425,000 for improper wound care

UPDATED 15:45 PM EST, January 7, 2013

The government has fined Golden Living Nursing Homes nearly $425,000 because the facilities provided "inadequate and worthless wound care" that "resulted in harm to patients" and then billed Medicaid for the services, according to a press release from the FBI.

"The nursing home patients depended on Golden Living to provide them with quality wound care services to help them heal, but, instead, were mistreated. We will not stand for such egregious misconduct by a Medicaid provider," said Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens.
