James claims understaffing at the homes contributed to neglect.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Residents were left alone and on their own, often unaided and unsupervised, leading to dangerous falls and broken bones. Residents lived in squalor, surrounded by neglected food trays, vermin and the smell of human waste,&#8221; James said at a news conference held with residents\u2019 relatives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/former-new-york-city-school-food-chief-convicted-bribery-connection-dangerous-chicken-fingers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FORMER NEW YORK CITY SCHOOL FOOD CHIEF CONVICTED OF BRIBERY IN CONNECTION WITH DANGEROUS CHICKEN FINGERS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The company denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Centers Health Care prides itself on its commitment to patient care. Centers denies the New York Attorney General\u2019s allegations wholeheartedly and attempted to resolve this matter out of court. We will fight these spurious claims with the facts on our side,&#8221; spokesperson Jeff Jacomowitz said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n<p>The four homes in the lawsuit are Beth Abraham Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in the Bronx, the Holliswood Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare in Queens, the Martine Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Westchester County and the Buffalo Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/new-york-city-suspect-put-24-year-old-woman-headlock-robbed-her-police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NEW YORK CITY SUSPECT PUT 24-YEAR-OLD WOMAN IN HEADLOCK, ROBBED HER: POLICE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The suit claims residents&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/food-drink\/food\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meals were late<\/a>, clothes were stolen and call bells were unanswered. One resident with severe bed sores developed sepsis, was hospitalized and died. Another resident did not have her colostomy bag attached.
