The Governor of Kentucky has created a task force that will review nursing home abuse cases in the state.

One of the first steps of the task force will be a look into how the government handles reports of nursing home abuse and neglect. A previous report was sent to the local newspaper and stated that there were 107 Class A citations claiming that a resident was in harm of becoming injured or worse.

Seven of the cases were prosecuted at the state level. Eight of them were under review from the prosecutor or attorney general, but the average pending time for a case was 19 months.
