New Jersey will send monitors to Woodland Behavioral and Nursing Center at Andover amid continued complaints of "abusive" and "neglectful" actions, Northjersey.com reported.
The team will spend up to 90 days at the facility assessing "operations, infrastructure and business practices," the March 9 report said. CMS is giving the facility until Aug. 15 to make major changes or face termination of all federal funding.
Disability Rights New Jersey, a nonprofit federally mandated to protect and advocate for people with disabilities, was also given access to investigate the facility by a district judge, the New Jersey Herald reported March 12.
Admissions were frozen at the facility by the state in February after inspections detailed further neglect. Police discovered a makeshift morgue of 17 bodies at the facility in April 2020. The nursing home was renamed last November.
