Ordinarily, Gracedale is just one of several departments covered whenever NorCo Council reviews human services. Several Council members are now suggesting the need for a separate committee just to cover the nursing home. In view of Executive Tara Zrinski's plan to expand operations there with medical offices, housing and even a retail strip, this is really necessary. In addition to considering the merits of this plan, millions in taxpayer dollars will almost certainly be needed to make up a deficit this year, Moreover, the county really needs to prioritize getting its Provisional II license back on track.
According to the PA DOH nursing home facility locator, there was a visit to Gracedale on May 14. But as of the time I write this story, inspection results are still unavailable. This visit likely was the result of both an elopement and contraband brought in by a resident. This is something Exec Tara Zrinski mentioned in her last executive report.
