Non-Profit Org Selling Queens Nursing Home to For-Profit Co for $41M


By Menachem Rephun

A nursing home based in Jamaica, Queens will be sold by its non-profit owners to a group of for-profit companies for $41 million, Crain’s reported last week. The home, Margaret Tietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, will be sold to several limited liability companies, whose owners include Workmen’s Circle Multicare Chief Executive Solomon Rutenberg, and Cassena Care heads Pasquale DeBenedictis and Alex Solovey.

The Margaret Tietz home is one of several properties being sold by its current owner, the Bronx-based CenterLight Health System, in order to pay off $47 million owed to the state and federal government as part of a 2016 agreement to settle charges of Medicaid fraud. According to Crain’s, other properties sold off by CenterLight include the Beth Abraham center in the Bronx, and Westchester’s Martine Center, which was sold to Centers Health Care for $77.8 million.
