Pennsylvania nursing home administrator indicted on fraud charges for falsifying staff timecards
A former nursing home administrator in Allegheny County has been indicted on charges that she falsified records, before the pandemic, to look like the facility met federal and state staffing requirements.
“These criminal charges represent the first step in holding accountable those who put profit over the health and safety of seniors,” said U.S. Attorney Scott Brady in a news release today.
Susan Gilbert, 60, is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, health care fraud and obstruction of a federal audit, according to a news release from Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro. She was an administrator for Mount Lebanon Rehabilitation and Wellness Center.
Gilbert, and possibly others, directed nursing staff to “clock in” for shifts but not actually work and not to include lunch breaks on their timecards, according to the news release.
