Brookdale Senior Living is the nation’s largest senior-living community operator, with $4 billion in reported revenue in 2019.

The complaint filed in Posey v. Brookdale Senior Living Inc. alleges that defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose that: (i) “Brookdale[ Senior Living]’s financial performance was sustained by, among other things, the Company’s purposeful understaffing of its senior living communities”; (ii) “the foregoing conduct subjected Brookdale [Senior Living] to an increased risk of litigation and, once revealed, was foreseeably likely to have a material negative impact on [Brookdale Senior Living’s] financial results and reputation”; (iii) “as a result, [Brookdale Senior Living’s] financial results were unsustainable”; and (iv) “as a result, [Brookdale Senior Living’s] public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.”

On April 30, 2020, Nashville Business Journal reported that a proposed class action lawsuit had been filed against Brookdale Senior Living accusing Brookdale Senior Living of, among other things, purposeful “chronically insufficient staffing” at its facilities in an effort to meet financial benchmarks since at least April 24, 2016.

The lawsuit also claims that the proposed class of plaintiffs “have not received the care and services they paid for.” The lawsuit asks for damages and for Brookdale Senior Living to “stop the unlawful and fraudulent practices.” The complaint filed in Posey v.
