Four Centers for Care nursing homes in New York allegedly swindled taxpayers of more than $83 million, while woefully neglecting its residents, one of whom died, state Attorney General Letitia James said Wednesday as she outlined her lawsuit against the company.

The owners and operators of the Bronx-based company siphoned millions of dollars in upfront profits from the nursing homes through inflated rents, loans and payments for no-show jobs, the lawsuit—which targets Beth Abraham Center in the Bronx, Buffalo Center, Holliswood Center in Queens, and Martine Center in White Plains of Westchester County—alleges.
