The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is looking to limit the financial support it provides to the Edgar P. Benjamin Healthcare Center

Leadership at the Edgar P. Benjamin Healthcare Center filed a civil suit against its former administrator, alleging he took millions of dollars from the center, putting it at risk of closure.

The receivership at the Edgar Benjamin Healthcare Center will continue until June, under a Dec. 19 Suffolk County Superior Court decision, with continued funding from the state but increased requirements around financial oversight.

When leadership from the Edgar Benjamin Healthcare Center met with representatives from the state in court on Dec. 5, the topic of what’s next for the Mission Hill nursing facility, which faced a potential closure in the spring, dominated the status conference.

Supporters of the historic Edgar P. Benjamin Healthcare Center celebrated last week as a court-appointed receiver announced plans to grapple with tangled finances and stabilize workplace management at the Mission Hill nursing home.

The Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts marked the end of one era and the beginning of another last week as they elected a new chair at the group’s 104th annual board meeting.
