Operators in Adult Home Are Barred in Settlement

The former operators of one of New York’s largest and most troubled homes for the mentally ill — a place once deemed by the state to be a “new warehouse for the insane” — have been permanently barred from running facilities for people with mental disabilities, state officials announced yesterday.

Eliot Spitzer, in his role as state attorney general, had sued the operators of the home, the Seaport Manor Home for Adults, in Canarsie, Brooklyn, saying that they had consistently neglected the home’s residents and misappropriated their money.
