Immense Wealth of Nursing Home Operators on Display

The National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW) issued a report on February 16, 2017 that California’s largest nursing home operator, Shlomo Rechnitz, has been globetrotting in a luxurious multi-million dollar jet he acquired in 2013. The report – Misplaced Priorities at 40,000 Feet – describes connections between the Rechnitz corporations that own and lease the jet and his nursing home business, Brius Healthcare. Sal Rosselli, the President of NUHW, has called for state authorities “to audit Brius and its subsidiaries to determine whether Rechnitz is siphoning off public funds intended for nursing home residents.”
