Arbitration Provision • Authorization to Sign Agreement • Nursing Home Admission
McMullen v. Genesis Healthcare, Inc., PICS Case No. 17-0411 (C.P. Lycoming Feb.28, 2017) Gray, J. (13 pages).
Where a competent nursing home patient authorized her husband to sign documents relating to her admission to the facility, she did not authorize him to sign an optional arbitration agreement, so the court refused to enforce the arbitration provision. The court ordered certain overly broad and impertinent allegations stricken.
