SENNETT - Deb English spent her first day as new administrator at the Cayuga County Nursing Home looking to how she could work past one of the facility's most controversial periods last year.
"The perception in the community is a bit negative," said English, 50, after unpacking some boxes in her new office Monday. "People focus on the one or two things that don't have anything to do with patient care."
One of her first objectives is to help the community get over that perception. In 2004, the state Department of Health cited the 80-bed facility for multiple cleaning deficiencies and former administrator Rob Flynn resigned amid harassment charges by Rebekah DeTomaso, the home's former director of nursing.
