Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and U.S. Attorney Scott Brady announced the first indictment in the Brighton nursing home investigation that began amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
PITTSBURGH The former administrator of a Mount Lebanon skilled nursing home has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, health care fraud and obstruction of a federal audit, United States Attorney Scott W. Brady and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced today.
The three-count Indictment, returned on February 24, 2021, named Susan Gilbert, of Lawrence, Pennsylvania, as the sole defendant. These criminal charges represent the first step in holding accountable those who put profit over the health and safety of seniors, said U.S. Attorney Brady. From 2018-2020, Gilbert and co-conspirators deprived seniors of patient care using inflated nursing hours, falsified timecards and other schemes that they concealed with two sets of records. We will continue to pursue every lead until justice has been achieved for seniors and their families in western Pennsylvania.
