Naylor & Olmstead v. Sunwest Management, Inc., et al.

March 2007 Naylor & Olmstead v. Sunwest Management, Inc., et al. The plaintiffs charged that the defendants knowingly misrepresented caregiver staffing ratios and staff abilities to respond to residents' needs. The plaintiffs alleged that Sunwest Management intended to misrepresent the level of care provided to residents in the admissions contract. Therefore, the minimal caregiver staffing ratios provided in the defendants facilities violated Oregon contract law because the staffing ratios did not meet residents' needs such that residents suffered harm in the form of lost services that, based on the admissions contract, a reasonable person would assume were to be provided . . .
