HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Three-quarters of Pennsylvania's personal-care homes have expired licenses because of a state inspection backlog and 30 of the homes are to be closed, officials said Wednesday.
Stacey Ward, a spokeswoman for the state Public Welfare Department, said that 1,190 of 1,589 personal-care homes are operating with expired licenses, and that the agency is moving to close 30 homes because of safety concerns.
It could take until year's end to complete inspections, Public Welfare Secretary Estelle Richman told a state Senate panel Wednesday.
