Massachusetts regulators move to revoke RegalCare nursing home licenses after investigation
On October 13, Massachusetts state regulators initiated license revocation proceedings against RegalCare following a Boston Globe investigation into its operations.
Regulators target twelve facilities
State officials announced the action to take away all licenses held by the New Jersey-based company. The move follows reporting that detailed how Eli Mirlis purchased the homes and reduced staffing levels. Officials stated that these cuts affected quality of care at many locations.
Enhanced monitoring replaces immediate control
Despite the revocation order, RegalCare will not immediately lose control of its facilities. Department of Public Health officials confirmed that the homes remain under the company's management for now. Instead, the properties are subject to enhanced monitoring from state health inspectors.
