OSWEGO â Mayor William Barlow has called upon the state Department of Health to temporarily revoke Pontiac Nursing Homeâs license, has offered to assist with any necessary relocation of Pontiacâs residents to other local, licensed health care providers, and intends to gather testimony and evidence on Pontiac from past and present residents, their families, and employees, which he will forward to the state.
In a March 25 letter to Commissioner Howard Zucker, Barlow formally requested âNYS DOH temporarily revoke the facilityâs license until management develops revised plans and demonstrates an ability to properly care for residents. If revocation is not deemed appropriate, at a minimum, I strongly urge NYS DOH to hire a third-party manager to bring accountability and oversight to the facility.â
