LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) The Arkansas Department of Human Services has temporarily taken over three more nursing homes after complaints were made about how they were being run.
The agency previously put the private operator’s other two nursing homes into receivership.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Facebook posts tipped off DHS about potential problems with resident care, payroll and the purchasing of supplies, which led state inspectors to visit the five locations.
While the state is the temporary receiver, it will ensure that the homes remain open, that residents are taken care of and that employees are paid until DHS is assured that the homes are operating as they should.
No residents are expected to be moved.
