The fines follow charges of improper care and abuse that put the lives of nursing home residents in “immediate jeopardy.”
has been hit with more than $340,000 in federal penalties, following charges of improper care and abuse that put the lives of residents in “immediate jeopardy” and threatened a shutdown of the facility.
Administrators for the 312-bed nursing home in Edison, which cares for military veterans and their spouses, told regulators they planned to appeal the enforcement action. The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, detailed the hefty civil penalties in a January letter to Lisa Kranis, who was named as interim CEO at Menlo Park in December by the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
CMS officials confirmed that revisit surveys by New Jersey had led the state to determine “the facility achieved substantial compliance.” The state in its announcement, though, made no mention of the proposed federal penalties, despite being informed about the CMS enforcement action in January. Officials at Military and Veterans Affairs said that since any civil monetary penalty would be based on the results of their ongoing appeal, they did not include comments regarding the matter in this week’s compliance update.
