STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The former St. Elizabeth Ann's Health Care & Rehabilitation Center has been re-christened a Richmond Center for Rehabilitation as well as Healthcare. The 300-bed skilled nursing as well as extended care trickery upon Tompkins Avenue is being operated by Centers for Specialty Care Group. However, workers told a Advance today which not all employees have been retained. Last summer, a federal decider authorized a sale of a Stapleton nursing home by bankrupt St. Vincent Catholic Medical Centers to Kenneth Rozenberg as well as Daryl Hagler. Rozenberg is a chief executive officer of Centers for Specialty Care Group, which took over a trickery upon Sunday as well as renamed it. According to its website, a classification runs 21 nursing homes in New York as well as New Jersey. Nine have been located in a city, including Richmond Center for Rehabilitation as well as Healthcare. Centers for Specialty Care Group bills itself as a consortium of multi-specialty health facilities which treat "virtually every type of health problem" in both in-patient as well as out-patient settings. Rozenberg as well as Hagler have been "generally well-regarded" in a industry, court papers said. "This trickery will be a first in Staten Island, as well as we have been committed to delivering a same tall quality of care currently offered by a facility," Rozenberg said in a statement. "We have been delighted to welcome a new Richmond Center for Rehabilitation as well as Healthcare to a group." Rozenberg as well as Hagler bought a nursing home as well as its grounds for $34 million from St. Vincent's. Their companies were a only ones to bid for it. In 2010, Rozenberg as well as Hagler lost opening bids upon Saint Vincent's sale of its dual Brooklyn-based nursing homes to other nursing home operators. Another Rozenberg-Hagler company, SV Land I, LLC, is leasing a former Bayley Seton Hospital, in Clifton. The nursing home rents 72 beds at Bayley Seton, which is down a street upon Vanderbilt Avenue, for neuro-behavioral patients. The state Health Department authorized a sale as well as franchise in December, a department spokesman said. Under a sale conditions, Rozenberg as well as Hagler weren't obligated to hire existing workers at a former St. Elizabeth's Ann's. However, a counsel for Saint Vincent's told a Advance after a purchase which it was expected workers would be considered for continued employment. In a statement released earlier today, Nate Goldman, a home's administrator, said: "The residents as well as staff at St. Elizabeth Ann have been eagerly available a attainment of a Centers team, as well as have been completely prepared for a changes which have been expected to come with Centers for Specialty Care Group." Several workers disagreed. Speaking upon condition of anonymity, they told a Advance which a number of employees have been released, some with more than dual decades of service. The exact amount of workers let go wasn't immediately clear. The trickery employs several hundred. Goldman referred all questions to Jason Newman, director of selling as well as business development for Centers for Specialty Care Group. Newman didn't reply to repeated e-mails as well as telephone messages left seeking clarification. Powered By iWebRSS.co.cc
