An ownership group with links to COVID-era investigations and recent charges of inflating staffing reports is facing public criticism as it attempts to purchase five skilled nursing facilities in Vermont.
Comprehensive Health Management principal Ephram “Mordy” Lahasky appears on loan documents related to the pending purchase, according to financing documents submitted to state regulators and obtained by a Vermont newspaper.
But itâs Lahaskyâs wife (not the man himself ) who is listed as one of three potential buyers on the actual application, meaning state officials reviewing it may not have cause to review Lahaskyâs complicated web of long-term care investments.

About 78% of eligible Vermonters ages 12 and older have received at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19 as of Saturday, Gov. Phil Scott said Tuesday, nearing his goal of 80% when he will drop the remaining pandemic-related restrictions.
More than 11,345 residents need to get a shot to reach the goal, officials said. If 1,000 Vermonters get vaccinated a day, the restrictions will be lifted on June 11 while if double that are vaccinated daily, the full reopening would happen Saturday, officials said, noting that the vaccination rate have slowed in recent days.
âWe re just days away from hitting our goal,â Scott said at his weekly virus briefing. âVermont continues to lead the nation but even after we hit 80%, we re not going to declare victory. We ll continue pushing forward because the better we do now, the better position we ll be (in) for the long term.â

Vermont is expected to reach 80% of eligible residents vaccinated against COVID-19 in the next week to 10 days, prompting the governor to drop the remaining pandemic-related restrictions before July 4, state officials said Tuesday.
Gov. Phil Scott and state officials said they have been pleased with progress on vaccinations since the governor on Friday challenged the state to reach the 80% mark. As of Tuesday, 76.9% of Vermonters ages 12 and older had received at least one dose, state officials said, after discovering the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had some duplicated numbers. That means another 17,250 residents need to start vaccines to hit the 80% target, they said.
