MONROE - Aaron Beibert says he was fired Thursday night as the interim administrator of Pleasant View Nursing Home by a Green County Board committee.
But members of the committee said following their meeting Thursday that no action was taken.
Whatever happened occurred in closed session during Thursday's three-hour meeting of the Pleasant View Nursing Home Committee.
Beibert is a consultant from the Milwaukee area hired to operate the county-owned nursing home in March. He emerged from the nearly one-hour closed session and said he was told he no longer would be the administrator as of Aug. 3, and would be replaced by another consultant on staff at Pleasant View.
"They decided they only needed one consulting firm, and they chose Terry (Nelson), but they didn't give any exact reasons," Beibert said later Thursday in a telephone interview with the Times.
The committee went into closed session in the Pleasant View multi-purpose room more than two hours into Thursday's meeting to discuss a personnel matter. After Beibert came out of the meeting many minutes later, the committee remained in closed session.
The committee did not reconvene the public meeting, and when members came out of the room to leave for the night, they had very little to say about what had occurred, but said no action had been taken.
When asked if Beibert had been told he was being let go, committee member Dennis Everson said it was up to Beibert to discuss his future.
"That's for Aaron to decide if he wants to talk about that," Everson said.
Nelson, of Pro-Ed Continuum, a consulting firm based in Waukesha, was hired in the wake of a Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services survey, which was conducted between March 9 and March 24 and discovered 13 complaints against Pleasant View.
In April, the complex was given clearance from the state that the violations had been adequately addressed. But Nelson's services were retained and now, according to Beibert, she will be the interim administrator.
Beibert said he didn't know whether Nelson will be kept on after administrator Don Stoor's medical leave ends later this year.
The split from Pleasant View will not be a sour one, Beibert said, pointing to the enjoyment he's had working there. He said the committee members even said they were willing to write a letter of recommendation for him.
"I do have respect for them," Beibert said of the committee.
The lengthy closed session came after a two-plus hour meeting in which Beibert and Nelson discussed progress the facility has made since the survey report surfaced.
Eliminating one consultant for another seemed a matter of circumstance, according to Beibert.
Earlier in the open session portion of the meeting, Beibert cited overlap in instruction to Pleasant View personnel coming from the hired leadership.
"They hired two consulting firms and didn't give us any direction," he said.
