and Withdrawn from Further Review dated July 16, 2008, attached hereto
and incorporated herein (Exhibit 1), and all other matters of record, the

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The Agency issued a Notice of Intent to Deem Application

Home Health Care Corp., a home health agency. This Notice of Intent
charged that the résumé submitted for the individual proposed as the
alternate administrator was not a true and accurate document and that the
résumé did not include all of the home health agencies where the individual
is currently employed.
2. The Petitioner was served the Notice of Intent to Deem
Application Incomplete and Withdrawn from Further Review on July 23, 2008
by Certified U.S. Mail, Return Receipt Requested. The U.S. Postal Service's
Track and Confirm Record is attached hereto and. incorporated herein
(Exhibit 2). Enclosed with the Notice of Intent to Deem Application
Incomplete and Withdrawn from Further Review was an Election of Rights
form which advised Respondent of its right to a hearing pursuant to Section
120.57(1) or Section 120.57(2), Florida Statutes (2008).
3. Respondent selected Option Three (3) within the Election of
Rights (Exhibit 3), disputing the allegations of fact contained in the Notice of
Intent to Deem Application Incomplete and Withdrawn from Further Review
and requesting a Formal Hearing and filed a Petition for a Formal Hearing.
4. On September 30, 2008, Petitioner withdrew its Petition for
Formal Hearing (Exhibit 4).
5. On October 6, 2008, Administrative Law Judge Errol H. Powell
issued an Order Closing the File (Exhibit 5).
6. The facts, as alleged and found, establish that Petitioner failed to
submit a true and accurate résumé for the alternate administrator, violating
Section 408.806(1), Florida Statutes (2008), Section 408.815(1)(a), Florida
Statutes (2008), Section 400.462(1), Florida Statutes (2008), Section
400.476(1)(a), Florida Statutes (2008), and Section 59A-8.0095(1)(a)2,
