Pennsylvania ? A woman who owned assisted-living homes where prosecutors said residents were fed rotten food and put to work stuffing newspaper inserts was sentenced Thursday to prison for abuse and neglect.

Tina M. Fake, 42, pleaded guilty in April to more than 30 criminal counts, including neglect, assault and theft. Fake ran the homes with her husband, who pleaded guilty to the same charges.

Prosecutors alleged that residents in the couples’ five Lebanon County homes were fed rotten food, some of it obtained from trash bins, and were put to work stuffing the newspapers in an unheated garage. Three residents died while under the Fakes’ care since 2000.

Fake was ordered to spend 15 to 35 years in state prison. She will serve the time concurrently with a federal sentence of more than 11 years issued earlier this month for bilking hundreds of thousands of dollars from government in a health care fraud.
