The skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility is partnering with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
Countryside Health Care of Milford (formerly known as The Geriatric Authority) has followed the town's lead by partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and joining the IMAGE employment compliance program. Milford town officials in August became the first municipality in New England to approve this agreement with ICE that will screen employees. The so-called IMAGE Program sends all I-9 forms submitted by employees through the ICE databases. The partnership is largely symbolic, in that town officials have said they do not expect to find that any town government or school employees are working here illegally. But it was intended to set an example for private businesses. In a press release, ICE announced that Countryside Health…

Milford has agreed to participate in the ICE "IMAGE" program, which will allow the town to use federal immigration databases to verify employees' status.
Milford Selectmen have approved a partnership with a federal agency that will allow the town to screen employee information against a federal immigration database. Considered a symbolic step by town officials, the program will allow the town to make sure all employees are eligible to work in the U.S. It is considered symbolic because the town administrator said he is confident all employees are legally authorized to work.
