Daryl Hagler and Kenneth and Beth Rozenberg were notified of the suspension on Thursday, Jan. 25, the state comptroller’s office announced.
They are the owners of the Hammonton Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, and the Deptford Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare.
The three received letters that their entities would be suspended from the state’s Medicaid program on Friday, May 24. The Medicaid fraud division of the comptroller’s office cited poor conditions at the nursing homes and “evidence of massive Medicaid fraud” in New York.
Hagler and the Rozenbergs were accused of taking $83 million from nursing homes funded by New York’s Medicare and Medicaid programs. A New York State Supreme Court judge appointed a financial monitor and health monitor in July 2023.
The state comptroller’s office said the Hammonton and Deptford nursing homes have repeated health and safety violations. The centers have also received the lowest rating from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
