Delaware Avenue Nursing Homes Placed into Voluntary Receivership

August 1, 2012 - BUFFALO- Presbyterian Senior Care of Western New York announced today that the New York State Department of Health has placed its Harbour and Hawthorn Multicare Centers for Living into voluntary receivership.

At the request of Presbyterian Senior Care, the NYSDOH named Receiver Services, LLC as the receiver of the facilities.

 Karin A. Ziegler, President and CEO reported that “Under the guidance of Receiver Services, Harbour and Hawthorn will continue delivering quality care to its nursing home residents, and we expect minimal interruption of services to the residents and employees of the facilities”.

Ms. Ziegler has met with the Harbour and Hawthorn staff and will oversee the transition to Receiver Services LLC. Receiver Services will be new to Western New York but its owner operates facilities across the state.

As receiver, Receiver Services is expected to develop an operational and financial re-organization of the facilities.  Harbour and Hawthorn Multicare Center for Living, long term care facilities which are both located on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, have been faced with ongoing financial difficulties for many years. 

According to Ziegler, “Presbyterian Senior Care will continue to operate independent living facilities for seniors in Williamsville and Kenmore as well as an adult care facility in Lockport. Having Receiver Services assume operational control of Harbour and Hawthorn will enable us to focus our efforts and attention on our other operations.”
