LINCOLN (AP) — The state auditor is blaming bad management for a loss of more than $2 million in the past two years by a county-owned nursing home in Lincoln.
Auditor Mike Foley said Tuesday that Lancaster Manor “is losing lots of money, boatloads of money.”
He cited billing problems, increases in staffing and an accounting maneuver for the losses.
Foley says he found no evidence of any criminal behavior — just mismanagement.
Lancaster County is hoping to sell the home to an Illinois company.
The state also has placed Lancaster manor on probation after finding problems with patient care.
A state Health and Human Services team found that, among other shortcomings, Lancaster Manor failed to protect residents from accidents.
