NJ Home Care Firm Probed Over $950M in Medicaid Billing

Sources describe a New Jersey senior home care company facing scrutiny over roughly $950 million in Medicaid billing, with allegations that it hired unqualified aides, some described by sources as recruited off the street, to provide in-home personal care services. Families and workers quoted in the report raise concerns about inadequate vetting and training of caregivers billed to Medicaid. The report does not specify charges filed, an enforcement agency, or a timeline for resolution. If substantiated, the allegations point to potential fraud and quality-of-care failures in a Medicaid-funded home care program affecting vulnerable elderly beneficiaries.
