COUNT I CLASS I VIOLATION WARRANTING AN ADMINISTRATIVE FINE SECTION 400.23, FLORIDA STATUTES SECTION 400.102, FLORIDA STATUTES 9. AHCA realleges and incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 8 above as if fully set forth herein. 10. Section 400.23, Florida Statutes, states in pertinent part: (8) The agency shall adopt rules to provide that, when the criteria established under subsection (2) are not met, such deficiencies shall be classified according to the nature and the scope of the deficiency. The scope shall be cited as isolated, patterned, or widespread. An isolated deficiency is a deficiency affecting one or a very limited number of residents, or involving one or a very limited number of staff, or a situation that occurred only occasionally or in a very Page 2 of 11 limited number of locations. ... The agency shall indicate the classification on the face of the notice of deficiencies as follows: (a) A class I deficiency is a deficiency that the agency determines presents a situation in which immediate corrective action is necessary because’ the facility's noncompliance has caused, or is likely to cause, serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident receiving care in a facility. The condition or practice constituting a class I violation shall be abated or eliminated immediately, unless a fixed period of time, as determined by the agency, is required for correction. A class I deficiency is subject to a civil penalty of $10,000 for an isolated deficiency, $12,500 for a patterned deficiency, and $15,000 for a widespread deficiency. The fine amount shall be doubled for each deficiency if the facility was previously cited for one or more class I or class II deficiencies during the last annual inspection or any inspection or complaint investigation since the last annual inspection. A fine must be levied notwithstanding the correction of the deficiency. (b) A class II deficiency is a deficiency that the agency wooo dat erm ines has compromised the resident's ability to maintain or reach his’ ~~ ~~ or her highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, as defined by an accurate and comprehensive resident assessent, plan of care, and provision of services. A class I deficiency is subject to a civil penalty of $2,500 for an isolated deficiency, $5,000 for a patterned deficiency, and $7,500 for a widespread deficiency. The fine amount shall be doubled for each deficiency if the facility was previously cited for one or more class I or class II deficiencies during the last annual inspection or any inspection or complaint investigation since the last annual inspection. A fine shall be levied notwithstanding the correction of the deficiency. 11. Section 400.102, Florida Statutes, states in pertinent part: (1) Any of the following conditions shall be grounds for action by the agency against a licensee: (a) An intentional or negligent act materially affecting the health or safety of residents of the facility. 12. On December 7, 2005, AHCA conducted a survey at Respondent's facility in response to a complaint. At that time, on the basis of record review, observation, and interview, AHCA determined that Respondent operated its facility in an intentional or negligent fashion which materially affected the health or safety of residents of the facility. Specifically, Respondent made solid food available to residents who could not safely consume it, and failed to take appropriate measures to protect those residents from Page 3 of 11 choking on that solid food. Respondent committed this violation by, inter alia, the following acts and omissions: (a) Respondent's care plan for resident #5, whom Respondent knew to be unable safely to consume solid food, requires that the snack cart be kept away from resident #5 and that food be kept off the staff desk so that resident #5 would not have access; but Respondent's staff did not follow this care plan. (b) Even after multiple incidents of resident #5 obtaining solid food at Respondent's facility and choking on it, Respondent's staff did not keep all solid food __ away from resident #5. (c) After an incident of resident #5 choking on solid food on October 25, 2005, Respondent failed to hold any inservice training relating to this problem and took no other correction action at that time. (d) On November 7, 2005, resident #5 again obtained solid food, having taken it from the snack cart, and choked on it. (e) Upon request by AHCA for records showing that Respondent held inservice education following the November 7 incident, Respondent produced none. (f) On November 21, 2005, resident #5 was taken by Respondent's personnel (CNA #1) to the shower area in a wheelchair and left there unattended. When CNA #1 returned to resident #5, resident #5 was eating solid food and went into obvious distress. Attempts to alleviate the distress and revive resident #5 were unsuccessful, and resident #5 died on November 21, 2005. (g) | Respondent's corrective action to provide inservice training on the snack cart procedure did not occur until November 22, 2005. Page 4 of 11 (h) Even after November 22, 2005, Respondent's personnel failed to follow the correct snack cart procedure, and instead left the snack cart unattended in the hallway. Consequently, multiple residents were able to and did help themselves to snacks from the cart. (i) Even after November 22, 2005, Respondent failed to ensure that all staff were familiar with which residents were on non-solid food diets and were mobile and cognitively impaired, so that if they saw such a resident in possession of solid food they could intervene before the resident ate and choked on the solid food. (j) Even after November 22, 2005, Respondent failed, with respect to another mobile and cognitively impaired resident on a non-solid food diet (resident #2), to take all necessary steps to secure solid food around resident #2 and/or to supervise resident #2 around solid food, despite a notation dated August 17, 2005, in resident #2's care plan indicating that resident #2 takes things from other residents' rooms and from the snack cart and medication cart, and despite knowledge on the part of Respondent's staff that resident #2 would consume solid food. (ix) Even after November 22, 2005, Respondent failed, with respect to another mobile and cognitively impaired resident on a non-solid food diet (resident #10), to take all necessary steps to secure solid food around resident #10 and/or to supervise resident #10 around solid food, despite knowledge on the part of Respondent's staff that resident #10 would consume solid food. 13. Respondent's conduct as aforesaid constitutes an isolated Class I violation with jeopardy, requiring immediate correction. 14. Respondent was notified of its violation and the immediate correction required. Respondent was also assessed a fine in the amount of $10,000. Page 5 of 11 COUNT I CLASS I VIOLATION WARRANTING AN ADMINISTRATIVE FINE SECTION 400.23, FLORIDA STATUTES SECTION 400.147(1), FLORIDA STATUTES 15. -AHCA realleges and incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 14 above as if fully set forth herein. 16. Section 400.147(1), Florida Statutes, states in pertinent part: (9) Every facility shall, as part of its administrative fimctions, establish an internal risk management and quality assurance program, the purpose of which is to assess resident care practices; review facility quality indicators, facility incident reports, deficiencies cited by the agency, and resident grievances; and develop plans of action to correct and respond quickly tc to ) identified quality ~~deficiencies The program: must includer’--——-—-————— : * * (e) The development of appropriate measures to minimize the risk of adverse incidents to residents, including, but not limited to, education and training in risk management and risk prevention for all nonphysician personnel, as follows: 1. Such education and training of all nonphysician personnel must be part of their initial orientation; and 2. At least 1 hour of such education and training must be provided annually for all nonphysician personnel of the licensed facility working in clinical areas and providing resident care. 17. In November, 2005, there were 30 residents at Respondent's facility requiring non-solid food diets, 3 of whom were mobile and cognitively impaired, and consequently at high risk for choking (residents #2, #5, and #10). 18. Prior to November 21, 2005, Respondent had no measures in effect to minimize the risk of adverse incidents like the choking of resident #5. 19. Even after the death of resident #5 from choking, Respondent did not immediately put into effect appropriate measures to minimize the risk to other similarly mobile and cognitively impaired residents from choking. Specifically, in addition to the acts and omissions set forth above, Respondent failed to effectively address the following potential risk areas: Page 6 of 11 (a) A refrigerator was available to residents in the Restorative Dining Room, unlocked and unattended by staff, with solid food inside, and with residents in the same room, providing residents free access to this food. Only after observing the attention paid to this refrigerator by an AHCA surveyor on December 6, 2005, did Respondent's staff secure this refrigerator and the food within it. (b) Solid food in the form of medication pass supplements (for when residents are to take medication with food) was left on an unattended medication cart. 20. Respondent's conduct as aforesaid constitutes an isolated Class I violation with jeopardy, requiring immediate correction. 21. Respondent was notified of its violation and the immediate correction required. Respondent was also assessed a fine in the amount of $10,000. COUNT HI CLASS II VIOLATION WARRANTING AN ADMINISTRATIVE FINE SECTION 400.23, FLORIDA STATUTES SECTION 400.102, FLORIDA STATUTES 22. AHCA realleges and incorporates Paragraphs 1 through 21 above as if fully set forth herein. 23. On January 19-20, 2006, AHCA conducted a survey at Respondent’s facility. At that time, based on observation, record review, staff interviews and resident interviews, it was determined that Respondent failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to a resident, materially affecting the resident's health. Specifically, Respondent failed, over the course of many months, to respond appropriately to the resident's isolation, withdrawal, significant weight loss, and comments that the resident wanted to die, as described in more detail in the survey report, the relevant portion of which is incorporated herein and attached hereto as Exhibit A. Page 7 of 11 24. The aforesaid failure by Respondent constitutes an isolated Class II violation, found since Respondent's last annual inspection. 25. Respondent has been notified of its violation and advised of a mandatory correction date of February 20, 2006, to correct its deficiency. Respondent has also been assessed a fine, the amount of which has been doubled to $5,000, due to the Class I deficiencies found during the previous survey of December 7, 2005, which are described hereinabove. COUNT IV VIOLATION WARRANTING 6-MONTH SURVEY CYCLE FEE aS 26. AHCA realleges and reincorporates Paragraphs 1 through 25 above as if set forth fully herein. 27.

The survey shall be conducted every 6 months for the next 2-year period if the facility has been cited for a class I deficiency, has been cited for two or more class I deficiencies arising from separate surveys or investigations within a 60-day period, or has had three or more substantiated complaints within a 6- month period, each resulting in at least one class I or class II deficiency. In addition to any other fees or fines in this part, the agency shall assess a fine for each facility that is subject to the 6-month survey cycle. The fine for the 2-year period shall be $6,000, one-half to be paid at the completion of each survey. . .. 28. Asa result of the Class I violations found during the December 7 survey, as well as the Class II violations found during the January 19-20 survey, AHCA has assessed a 6-month survey cycle fee in the amount of $6,000 against Respondent. Page 8 of 11 COUNT V VIOLATION WARRANTING CONDITIONAL LICENSURE SECTION 400.23(7)(b) 29. AHCA realleges and reincorporates Paragraphs 1 through 28 above as if set forth fully herein. 30. Section 400.23, Florida Statutes, states in relevant part: (7) The agency shall, at least every 15 months, evaluate all nursing home facilities and make a determination as to the degree of compliance by each licensee with the established rules adopted under this part as a basis for assigning a licensure status to that facility. The agency shall base its evaluation on the most recent inspection report, taking into consideration findings from other official reports, surveys, interviews, investigations, and inspections. The agency § shall “assign a licensure status of standard or conditional to each nursing home. ~~ * Eg * (b) A conditional licensure status means that a facility, due to the presence of one or more class J or class I deficiencies, or class III deficiencies not corrected within the time established by the agency, is not in substantial compliance at the time of the survey with criteria established under this part or with rules adopted by the agency. If the facility has no class IJ, class II, or class III deficiencies at the time of the follow-up survey, a standard licensure status may be assigned. 31. AHCA has assigned a conditional licensure status to Respondent based upon the determination that the facility was not in substantial compliance with applicable laws and rules during the December 7, 2005 survey, due to Respondent’s Class I violations described above. The effective date of the conditional license is December 7, ~ 2005, and the conditional status of the license remains in effect until such time as AHCA determines that Respondent is in compliance.

During that visit resident #12 was again very open and talkative and appreciative to talk to a visitor. In a document from the circuit court of a mental examination made on 9/3/08 it states: "It is believed resident #12's current difficulty is related to a combination of their disturbance in mood, possibly due to poor adjustment to his/her placement in an extended care facility, and due to the presence of a progressive cognitive impairment. To some extent, the current difficulties may be reversible if the depressive symptoms were addressed through psychotropic or psychotherapeutic intervention. Based on these findings the facility failed to properly address and provide appropriate treatment and services to identify and prevent the worsening of psychosocial adjustment difficulties.
