Sunwest Management Inc.

A lawsuit has been filed and is seeking class action status against the national retirement care operator for allegedly charging for services it has no intention of providing. The lawsuit was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court and names all 50 Sunwest facilities in the state of Oregon as defendants. The lawsuit claims Sunwest's standard admission agreement misled residents about the number of staff available to provide daily care. It alleges Sunwest understaffed assisted living homes and made a considered decision to promote profit at the expense of their contractual and legal obligations to residents.
