RegalCare Chief Reportedly Involved in Effort to Buy Haverhill Nursing Home

The state is moving to revoke a dozen nursing home licenses held by RegalCare. That action follows a Boston Globe Spotlight report that documented debilitating cost cutting at the company, and state officials have initiated steps toward license removal.

WHAV reports that the chief executive of RegalCare is taking part in a planned effort to acquire a nonprofit nursing facility in Haverhill. For local readers, the reported purchase effort links the company’s wider licensing troubles and the Spotlight findings to a nursing home in the city.

Separately, Covenant Health’s president and chief executive is Stephen J. Grubbs. Last June, Grubbs spoke with staff. The reporting ties together state enforcement action, investigative reporting, and a reported local acquisition effort, all of which bear on health care operations affecting Haverhill.
