Poloncarz: "Nursing home unsafe and puts public at risk"

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz wants the State to step in and bring in a reputable organization in to run Emerald South Nursing Facility on Delaware Avenue. This request comes after multiple allegations have come to light regarding patient care and unsafe work environments. On Tuesday, 7 Eyewitness News was the first to report that the State Department of Health is investigating Emerald South, after an Administrator at the facility is accused of molesting a patient with Alzheimers.
