In August of 2017, the National Union of Healthcare Workers published “Brius Healthcare’s Insider Transactions,” a report describing how Brius CEO Shlomo Rechnitz profits by steering millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to a web of companies he created to service his nursing homes.
Now the union is releasing a video showing how California’s largest nursing home operator has reaped millions by setting up companies that charge his homes for financial advice, supplies and property leases, which are over 30 recent above market rents.
Since the original report was released, the California State Auditor has begun auditing Brius’ business dealings with other firms controlled by Rechnitz. The audit was ordered by state legislators earlier this year.
