The suicides of Retreat Behavioral Health's senior executives have left its employees to cope with the abrupt closures of the organization. Employees and clients of the rehabilitation facility in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida are now in the dark.
The Palm Beach, Florida, institution shuttered suddenly last week. Workers who spoke with WPTV said that over a hundred people with drug abuse and mental health issues were ordered to vacate the premises, with thirty of those people having nowhere else to go.
Following the unfortunate passing of CEO Peter Schorr and Chief Administrative Officer Scott Korogodsky, the closures were extended to New Haven, CT and Lancaster County, PA. The Palm Beach County Medical Examiner's Office verified that Schorr and Korogodsky both committed themselves at their respective homes in Delray Beach.
To CBS12, Lissa Franklin said, "It is very sad, but most patients found safe and supportive discharge options." Franklin is the vice president of recovery advocates in Southeast Florida. With respect and compassion, Retreat was a wonderful program.
Retreat was unique among local hospitals in accepting Medicaid and VA health insurance, as pointed out by Franklin.
According to internal correspondence, Korogodsky assured employees that they would get payment regardless of any delays. Company CFO Alexander Hoinsky acknowledged financial difficulties that had persisted for at least one year. "The company ran out of cash," he said, expressing his fears when management stopped returning his calls. A precipitous decline in revenue occurred while expenses remained same.
Employees at the Palm Beach plant were fired without warning, and they have yet to receive their last salary. According to an unnamed nurse, there was mayhem as patients battled and tried to steal drugs from nursing stations.
According to Hoinsky, workers should get pay for the final three weeks they put in. In addition to his financial troubles, Schorr was the target of a case in January involving a $50,000 property deposit and another in New York involving a failed loan and a sum of more than $5 million. Furthermore, the business was sued by the Palm Beach County Tax Collector for an outstanding tax debt of $1,700.
The business expressed its sorrow at Schorr's death on social media and paid tribute to his kindness and commitment. People also began to pay tribute to Korogodsky, calling him a "amazing person."
Retreat Behavioral Health's staff, patients, and the communities they served are all feeling the effects of the closures.
