Judge fines Cold Spring Hills nursing home for ignoring contempt order
A Nassau County judge has issued a $250 fine against the owners of Long Island's second-largest nursing home for ignoring a contempt order and failing to make a $2.65 million payment toward the health care benefits of the facility's roughly 440 employees.
In her order, issued late Friday, State Supreme Court Justice Lisa Cairo reiterated her previous directive for the owners of Cold Spring Hills Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation in Woodbury, and managing member Avi Philipson, to make the health care payment to the 1199SEIU National Benefit Funds, which represents the nursing home workers.
