Zrinski: Gracedale on Track to Have Regular License Restored in January 2027

At last night's meeting of Northampton County Council, Executive Tara Zrinski reported that Gracedale is on track to have its regular license restored by January 2027. She indicated that the state Department of Health visited the facility on July 30, her birthday, and found no deficiencies.

She specifically recognized the staff at T7 I also want to recognize the staff of T7 "for the difference they're making in residents' daily lives."

Referring to a laudatory email from a resident's family, she said that the home was complimented forthe attention given to personal grooming as well as staff encouragement to get out of bed and socialize. "People are noticing," she added.

She also speciafically recognized a Gracedale staffer who recently has been certified a professional by the American Association of Post Acute Care Nursing.

One letter. "People are noticing". TZ is such a BSer. She has become the county's little boy cried wolf.

That is not special care - that is expected care. No one can predict when a Provisional II license will be removed, not even Tara. No one wants Gracedale to fail. If we had a different county executive over the last eight years and the first Premier administrator was still in place, we wouldn’t be in this mess. There’s nothing to like about Tara since she doesn’t understand why many people don’t like her. Basically it’s because she won’t listen to those people who try to tell her anything as constructive criticism and she continues to think she’s right and they are wrong. We are doomed and it’s only August.

Wonderful but nursing homes are no longer a core function of county government in PA. We should be looking to transition away from it rather than adding political patronage "oversight" jobs.

It may take more than giving kudos to a few good moments to
Raise the bar for Gracedale. The meter is still running on fixing problems.
