Owners of Van Duyn Rehabilitation and Nursing Center to Pay $12M to Settle Claims of Pocketing Millions from Taxpayers

The owners of Van Duyn will pay $12 million to settle claims that they pocketed millions from taxpayers over more than a decade while leaving Central New Yorkers to suffer in one of the state’s largest nursing homes, New York Attorney General Letitia James said today.
As part of the settlement, Van Duyn Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing agreed to be overseen by two independent monitors approved by the state to supervise the home’s patient care and financial operations.
The owners will pay $2 million to the state’s Medicaid fund as restitution to taxpayers and $10 million to a Van Duyn fund for improvements recommended by the independent monitors, James said.
