Jeff Rosetta, administrative director of the Lake Arthur Place Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, is accused of criminal negligence or recklessness after a search warrant affidavit was issued.

Rosetta was the director and seen on live television as elderly residents were being rescued from flood waters at the nursing home on Lake Arthur Drive in Port Arthur when Hurricane Harvey hit on Aug. 30.

A temporary restraining order was previously issued against the nursing home by a district judge.

The affidavit stated Rosetta of “failing to provide adequate care and safety of numerous elderly individuals that were in the care, custody and control.”

The investigation is being conducted by the Port Arthur Police Department and the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office.
