Never again will Lavin or her managers be allowed to ignore the handing out of medications, or fail to seek medical care when it's needed for the disabled, mentally handicapped and elderly.
Never again will she or her managers allow residents to wear inadequate or soiled clothing, or lie on filthy bed linens.
Never again will she or her managers allow the physically disabled, the mentally handicapped or the elderly to live in grossly inadequate, structurally unsafe and dangerous firetraps that she called housing.
And never again will Lavin be able to stuff her pockets and bank accounts with residents' Social Security and disability payments to fund her luxurious lifestyle - with a multimillion-dollar portfolio of fabulous homes in Villanova, Florida and New Jersey, and an aircraft - as alleged in her settlement agreement with the feds.
Even as Lavin - a licensed pilot - denied wrongdoing of the above listed infractions in her civil settlement yesterday, workers were painting the exterior of her posh 14-room mansion beige and pinkish- tan, near the swimming pool and tennis court in her gated Villanova estate, called "Lionsgate," adorned with benches, sculptures and a babbling brook.
There, workers are about to take on the massive task of painting the gutted interior of a first floor wing of the mansion, turning the walls into an elegant shade of beige and cream for her about-to-be renovated master-bedroom suite.
For more than eight years, Lavin, 65, and her late husband, Robert, denied to city, state and federal authorities that they were aware of what U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan called the "appalling" treatment of residents at her four personal-care homes, even after three homes were closed.
The last facility, Ivy Ridge Personal Care Center, on Ridge Avenue near Kingsley Street in Roxborough, which had two residents last month, must close on Aug. 10.
