People with intellectual disabilities died and were injured at Pa. group homes. Regulators are taking action.

“Last month, Pennsylvania regulators barred Supportive Concepts from accepting new residents in its 103 group homes for intellectually disabled people in Northeastern Pennsylvania and prohibited it from opening new homes in that 15-county region.

Regulators also revoked the license of the Berks County house where the person died Dec. 19 after Supportive Concepts staff repeatedly failed to follow medical instructions — including after a 16-day hospital stay, according to a state report. Eight staff members were not properly trained in the person’s care.”
