The Superior Court in Scampone recognized that the nursing home did not provide physicians for its residents. Nonetheless, the Court found the nursing facilities involvement to be sufficiently comprehensive to extend corporate liability to nursing facilities. Further, the Superior Court held that the health care management company hired to provide services to the nursing facility can also be subject to corporate liability despite the holding in Thompson that the duties are not delegable. Further, management companies are not licensed to run a nursing facility nor do they typically provide daily care to the residents. The holding in Scampone may have broad impact on the way nursing facilities do business including how they oversee the practice of medicine by their residents’ chosen physicians and how facilities define their relationship with their management companies.
