Oswego, N.Y. — The state has faulted Pontiac Nursing Home for failing to report a suicide attempt and an employee who broke rules by borrowing money from a resident.

The violations are the latest in a litany of problems which landed Pontiac on the federal government’s list of the nation’s worst nursing homes in March. Pontiac is the only Central New York facility on the list of 86 nursing homes. Facilities on that list can lose federal funding unless they improve care.
