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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
