Ex-Pennsylvania nursing home administrator charged in fraud over care hours Phil Helsel The former administrator of a Pennsylvania nursing home was indicted this week and accused of scheming to falsely inflate work records to meet staffing requirements during the Covid-19 pandemic, officials said. Susan Gilbert, 60, of Lawrence, was indicted Wednesday by a grand jury on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, health care fraud and obstruction of a federal audit, said the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania. "These crimes put facility residents at risk by only providing a dangerously low amount of nursing staff just before COVID began to surge across the country," Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said in a statement, referring to the pandemic that has now killed more than a half-million people in the U.S.
