FINAL ORDER
Having reviewed the Notice of Intent letter dated October 19,
2001, and all other matters of record, the Agency for Health Care
Administration (“Agency”) finds and concludes as follows:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Agency issued a Notice of Intent to impose a
conditional licensure status effective August 17, 2001 as a result of a
survey completed August 17, 2001. During this survey, one (1) Class
II deficiency was cited as follows:
(a). Regents Park at Aventura failed to ensure for one
cognitively alert and oriented resident that an assessment was
sufficiently comprehensive to identify the resident as at risk for a
sentinel event.
2. The Respondent was served with a Notice of Intent letter
on August 17, 2001 by U.S. Certified Mail, return receipt requested.
The Respondent was advised of its right to request an administrative
hearing and was provided with an Election of Rights form and an
Explanation of Rights form. The Respondent selected Option (3) within
the Election of Rights, disputing the allegations of fact contained in the
Notice of Intent letter and requesting a formal administrative hearing.
Subsequently, the Respondent withdrew its request for a hearing.
3. The facts as alleged and found, establish that:
A conditional license is imposed as of August 17, 2001 as a
result of a survey completed on August 17, 2001. Regents
Park at Aventura is in violation of 59A-4.109(1)(c), Florida
Administrative Code giving rise to a conditional license
pursuant to Section 400.23(7)(b), Florida Statutes.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. The Agency has jurisdiction over Respondent pursuant to
the provisions of Chapter 400, Part II, and Section. 120.569, Florida
Statutes (2001).
2. As alleged in the Notice of Intent letter, the Respondent is
in violation Chapter 59A-4.109(1)(c), Florida Administrative Code and
Section 400.23(7)(b), Florida Statutes.
3. The Respondent submitted a Notice Of Voluntary Dismissal
and expressly waived its right to a Formal Administrative Hearing
4. A Fina! Order adopting the allegations and conclusions set
forth in the Notice of Intent letter and imposing the sanction is sought.
Based on the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it
ORDERED:
1. The Respondent's licensure status as Conditional is upheld.
