Commissioner, Concerned Relatives Discuss Condition Of Cambria County Nursing Home

POSTED: 11:35 pm EDT May 30, 2007
UPDATED: 10:30 am EDT May 31, 2007

Concerns about relatives living in the Cambria County-run nursing home led to a meeting with a county commissioner Wednesday night.

Laurel Crest is not accepting patients until the home complies with state and federal regulations. If the home does not, there is a possibility it could lose its license to operate.

Rita Fye's sister is a resident at Laurel Crest. She told Channel 6 News, "I for one was concerned that they were going to lose their license, she was going to have to be moved to another facility. I didn't know what we were going to do."

Channel 6 News spoke with County Commissioner P.J. Stevens about the outcome of the meeting. He told Channel 6 News, "When this is all said and done, this was a great facility, it will be an excellent facility from here on in."

The commissioners assured relatives of patients the deficiencies within Laurel Crest will be corrected by the June 19 deadline.
