Assisted Living Concepts Ordered to Disclose Information in Evictions Investigation

Investigating the systematic eviction of Medicaid-eligible assisted living residents, the New Jersey Public Advocate has obtained a court order compelling Assisted Living Concepts, Inc. (ALC), to produce information regarding its residents and practices.

As the investigation continues, the Public Advocate’s legal leverage appears based in large part on ALC’s initial promises to the State of New Jersey that it would serve a “moderate to low-income population,” with 20 to 30 percent of the facility’s residents to be Medicaid-eligible, and would not evict residents who had become Medicaid-eligible by spending down their life savings for assisted living care.

Order, Dep’t of Public Advocate v. Assisted Living Concepts, Inc., C 73-08 (N.J. Superior Ct. 2008)
