THE ISSUE
A new owner of the former Conestoga View nursing home in Lancaster Township pleaded no contest â meaning he accepts punishment without admitting guilt â to three counts of reckless endangerment of residents at the St. Francis Center for Rehabilitation & Healthcare in Darby, Delaware County, according to an announcement by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro last Wednesday. As LNP | LancasterOnlineâs Tom Lisi reported, âChaim âCharlieâ Steg of Lakewood, New Jersey, will be sentenced to six to 23 months of house arrest followed by three years of probation. Under his probation conditions, Steg âcannot staff, manage, own, or operate the nursing, clinical, or medical services of any skilled nursing facility for five years,â according to the attorney generalâs office. That includes serving as a majority owner of any nursing home.â The former Conestoga View now is called Lancaster Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
