Levin Associates, an industry side publisher of data relating to mergers, acquisitions, and finance in health care and seniors housing, recently posted a video discussing trends in the long-term care sector. Among other things, this video addressed Dudensing Law’s recent $110 million jury verdict against a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT), Colony Capital, and a private equity firm, Formation Capital. The video warns that the verdict could “scare off capital” from investing in the long-term care space.
Dudensing Law is proud to welcome four exceptional law students to the firm this summer each bringing a background in service, advocacy, and a commitment to standing up for those who have been wronged.
A recent investigation by Hunterbrook reports that The Ensign Group, the largest operator of skilled nursing facilities in the United States, systematically understaffs its facilities, resulting in millions of hours of missing care for some of the nation’s sickest and most vulnerable residents.
Part one of the investigation examined millions of CMS datapoints and reviewed thousands of pages of documents, finding a 5-million-hour gap between the nursing care Ensign’s residents needed and the care they received between July and November 2024.
Hunterbrook interviewed Dudensing Law founder Ed Dudensing as part of its reporting. “The regulation is that you have to staff to meet the needs of residents, and that consistently does not happen,” said Ed. “That’s illegal.”
The investigation also found that Ensign facilities consistently failed to meet minimum state staffing requirements in California, Washington, Tennessee, and Kansas on more than 18,000 cumulative days between 2020 and 2025.
Dudensing Law secured an $8 million recovery for the family of a man who lost his leg after a California skilled nursing facility failed to monitor his known vascular disease.
Despite the facility's own care plan promising to watch for complications, staff never checked his pulses, skin color, or circulation even though he reported leg pain on at least 25 of his 28 days there. By the time staff responded to the emergency, his leg had lost blood flow and could not be saved.

Dudensing Law wrapped up summer with some friendly competition! Our team – along with our summer associates – closed out the season by stepping into the spotlight as the stars of their own game show.
We’re grateful for the hard work, dedication, and contributions they made throughout the summer, and we enjoyed celebrating their time with our team.
We are excited to highlight one of our summer clerks, Rebab Alkhafaji.
Rebab is a rising 2L at UC Davis School of Law. Before law school, Rebab worked as a social worker in adult services, advocating directly for older and vulnerable adults in the community. That firsthand experience translates seamlessly to the firm's mission of holding institutions accountable for the harm done to those in their care.
Dudensing Law secured a $3 million recovery for the family of a man who died after becoming septic from a “large and obvious" facial infection that a California skilled nursing facility failed to document or address. Despite his loved one repeatedly warning staff about his fall risk, he suffered at least 10 falls, including one incident in which he was found unattended outside in 100-degree heat, bleeding.
