Lawsuits allege misrepresentation in Alterra Sterling House care
Lawsuits accuse the for profit Alterra Sterling House chain of misleading families about the level of care available at its facilities in Kansas. The cases center on residents needing ongoing skilled nursing or who were incontinent or bed bound, with one death linked to a fall and alleged delayed care. KDHE has fined and banned new admissions at several Alterra facilities while investigations proceed.
