Golden LivingCenter in Mt. Lebanon named in state legal action
State Attorney General Kathleen Kane has filed an amended legal action against Golden Gate National Senior Care LLC, which manages and operates 36 sites in the state, for failing to provide basic services to elderly and vulnerable residents.
Twenty-five Golden LivingCenters have been targeted by the state, including the Golden LivingCenter in Mt. Lebanon on Old Gilkeson Road, which alleges the facilities are understaffed, residents are unkempt, thirsty, hungry and sometimes not able to summon anyone to assist with basic needs.
The amended legal action, filed in Commonwealth Court in the form of a complaint in equity and petition for permanent injunction, seeks to prohibit Golden LivingCenter from engaging in allegedly deceptive and unlawful business practices. It also seeks $1,000 per violation of the law, and up to $3,000 for every violation involving a person 60 years and older, as well as legal restitution.
