Attorney General Dana Nessel To Investigate Nursing Home Facility Abuse, Neglect

/ CW50 Detroit

(CBS DETROIT) – A team of agents appointed by Michigan's Attorney General Dana Nessel will make unannounced visits to nursing homes.

Nessel says the visits are a part of an investigation of abuse and neglect.

The sentinel project will determine which nursing homes will be investigated, based on previous data and reports.

This comes after the attorney general declined requests from Republican lawmakers to investigate the state's handling of COVID-19 in nursing homes.
