On behalf of the state, Katharine Sacks, an attorney who was appointed receiver of the home in 2019, asked Superior Court Judge Claudia Baio to close down Waterbury Gardens completely. She cited staffing shortages and continued cash flow challenges.
There are 28 residents living in Waterbury Gardens and almost two-thirds of them are asking the judge to keep the facility open, as is the union that represents many of the employees.
The facility is “no longer financially viable,” Ms. Sacks told the judge, noting that the building is not fit for sale because of the nearly $3 million in improvements, including a “large mold remediation project,” that would be required to make it habitable.
