Skilled Nursing News Quotes Proctor on Nursing Home Liability
November 8, 2022
Lori Proctor (Partner-Houston, TX) was queried for “Why a Nursing Home Case Heard by SCOTUS Could Have Sweeping Implications,” an article that appeared in Skilled Nursing News on November 4, 2022. The topic is a case being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court that could determine whether state-owned nursing homes are shielded from federal lawsuits and whether a ruling in favor of state-owned nursing homes could make it harder for Medicaid beneficiaries to seek relief in federal court. According to Lori, “With more potential lawsuits coming down the pike – in the event of a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs – government entities may be less likely to continue or open publicly run nursing homes in the future.”
