Northumberland County Commissioner Vinny Clausi stands next to Ginny Yost, a licensed practical nurse, at Mountain View Manor, the county's nursing home in Coal Township. Two audits of the nursing home's performance in 2007 produced vastly different results. Complete Healthcare Resources, the nursing home management agency, reported an $840,000 profit. The county's auditor found a $220,000 loss.

Nursing home audit results at odds

$1 million difference stumps commissioners

By Marcia Moore
The Daily Item

While Clausi complains about the pace of reform, Sawicki said the commissioners are happy with the performance of Complete Healthcare, even as the agency fired Bob Druckenmiller, the top administrator at Mountain View Manor, a day after the company was given a $550,000 one-year contract extension to continue oversee operations at the nursing home.

Otto said Druckenmiller’s dismissal was a personnel matter and county officials were not involved.

“We’re happy with the agency and whatever they choose to do,” Sawicki said. “How Complete Healthcare evaluates employees is up to them. We want the nursing home to run in an efficient manner and provide the best care for the guests.”
