Dear Greenwich Roundup,
I don't know who gave Ms. Blake the so-called "facts" but "THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT A PROFIT WAS REALIZED".
Granted it has been a number of years due to very poor management but profits were made in the past.

Witherell posts first profit
For the first time in the institution's 103-year history, the town-owned nursing home Nathaniel Witherell made a profit..
"This is huge," said Bill Kowalewski, executive director of the facility.
For the fiscal year that ended June 30, the home's net revenue of $20.9 million exceeded its operating expenses by more than $47,000, according to figures released by the nursing home. Last year, the Witherell had a $1.16 million deficit.
"We're certainly very pleased to see the positive financial results," said First Selectman Peter Tesei, "It is quite a crowning achievement for the board and staff at the Witherell.".....
....Last year, persistent budget deficits led to a debate over whether to privatize the facility or have it remain town-owned. The latter won out, and the nursing home officials have been working diligently since to make the facility self-sustaining.
"The goal was to become a self-sufficient department and that's what we've become," said Kowalewski.
The results were unveiled earlier this week at the Nathaniel Witherell board meeting.
"When we announced the results, there was a general feeling of pride, accomplishment and achievement," Ormsby said.....

As usuall a Greenwich Time reporter has taken a Town Of Greenwich press release and ran it through the spell checker, before publishing the article.
Why didn't rookie Greenwich Time Reporter Meredith Blake talk to someone who complained about the mismanagement at Nathaniel Witherell.
Only Town Of Greenwich officials are quoted in Ms.Blake's amateurishly written Greenwich Time article.
Meredith Blake needs to start earning her pay by talking to all stake holders at Nathaniel Witherell, otherwise see should resign and let town officials write her articles for free.
