Skyline Healthcare ousted from nine nursing homes in Pa.

By

One of the facilities affected is Lansdale Care & Rehabilitation Center in Lansdale

The Pennsylvania Department of Health said Wednesday it had installed temporary management at nine nursing homes operated by Skyline Healthcare LLC after finding that the Wood-Ridge, N.J. company, which took over at least 100 nursing homes in seven states since 2015, “could no longer fiscally operate the facilities.” Included are nursing homes located in Lansdale and Rosemont.

 The move follows similar actions recently by regulators in Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota against Skyline, which is owned by Joseph Schwartz, a Brooklyn resident who started in the 1980s as an insurance broker specializing in long-term care, writes Haronld Brubaker in the Philadelphia Daily News.

The nursing homes in question include seven that Skyline has operated under leases from Golden Living since early last year: Stenton Care & Rehabilitation Center in Philadelphia; Doylestown Care & Rehabilitation Center in Doylestown; Exeter Greens Care & Rehabilitation Center in Reading; Lansdale Care & Rehabilitation Center in Lansdale; Lancaster Care & Rehabilitation Center in Lancaster; Phoenixville Care & Rehabilitation Center in Phoenixville; and Rosemont Care & Rehabilitation Center in Rosemont.

The two additional faculties are Willow Terrace in Philadelphia and Wyndmoor Hills Health Care & Rehabilitation Center in Wyndmoor, which Skyline owned before adding the former Golden Living facilities.
