Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue misrepresented the availability of licensed nurses or around-the-clock nursing care.
What Consumers Report
Consumers and family members report:
- Relying on advertising that described licensed nursing staff as available 24 hours a day.
- Paying assisted-living or memory-care premiums based on expected nursing coverage.
- Discovering that an RN was not physically present overnight.
- Receiving care from aides or other staff instead of licensed nurses.
- Being told that a nurse was available only by telephone or on call.
- Experiencing delays when medication, assessment, or emergency nursing assistance was needed.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Families may select a facility based on representations that licensed nurses are available around the clock. An on-call nurse is materially different from a nurse physically present at the facility, particularly for Sunrise on Connecticut Avenue residents with significant medical, medication, or memory-care needs.
Potential Claims May Include
- False advertising
- Misrepresentation of staffing levels
- Failure to disclose material staffing limitations
- Consumer protection violations
- Unfair and deceptive trade practices
- Breach of express warranty
