The troubled state-operated New Jersey Veterans Home Memorial Home at Menlo Park has been hit with more than $340,000 in federal penalties, following charges of improper care and abuse that put the lives of residents in “immediate jeopardy” and threatened a shutdown of the facility.
Administrators for the 312-bed nursing home in Edison, which cares for military veterans and their spouses, told regulators they planned to appeal the enforcement action.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, detailed the hefty civil penalties in a January letter to Lisa Kranis, who was named as interim CEO at Menlo Park in December by the state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
