Published on Fri May 09, 2014
How would you handle unfavorable press attention? That’s what Bayada Home Health Care in Pittston, Pa. found out when the state Attorney General served a search warrant at the location, re-ports the Citizens’ Voice newspaper in Wilkes-Barre.
“We understand that BAYADA is not the fo-cus of the investigation,” BAYADA spokeswoman Lori Bookbinder said in a prepared statement. “We are fully cooperating with the attorney general’s office to identify the documents and information it is seeking.” The state AG’s office refused comment, according to the newspaper.
