The owners of two now defunct nursing homes — Princeton Care Center and Woodland Behavioral and Nursing Center — are being barred from New Jersey’s Medicaid program starting in late March, acting State Comptroller Kevin Walsh announced. The owners were given 100 days to divest from the other nursing homes they own in the state.
Princeton Care Center ran out of cash and abruptly evicted residents on Sept. 1, leaving some in wheelchairs out on the sidewalk waiting for family members to pick them up. Walsh’s report accused the owners Gail and Ezra Bogner of “recklessness” and “neglect” that “caused serious harm and trauma to the residents” of the center.
Woodland Behavioral and Nursing Center was once New Jersey’s largest nursing home, but was shut down by the state in 2022 for failing to “protect the health and safety” of its residents.
