Cold Spring Hills nursing home gets independent monitor to oversee patient care

An Albany-based consultant who used to help oversee nursing homes statewide will serve as an independent health care monitor at Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation, managing patient care at the troubled Woodbury facility.
Meanwhile, the ownership of Cold Spring Hills, Long Island's second-largest nursing home, has until Wednesday to make a court-ordered $2.6 million payment after a Nassau judge found the facility in contempt last week for failing to make employee health care payments to a union benefit fund. Union officials confirmed Tuesday the payment still has not been made.
