Section 400.19 Fia.Stat. (2001)

7. AHCA re-alleges and incorporates by reference Paragraphs one
(1) through six (6) above as if fully set forth herein.
8. On or about June 11, 2002, AHCA performed a survey at
Respondent's facility. AHCA cited Respondent based on the findings below:
to wit:
Findings include:
During the 3/4/02 survey, the administrator stated that the facility maintained Resident #1's monthly personal
allowance. Review of the corresponding account log found a document that could not be readily understood in that
it consisted of random figures being added with no semblance of order. Thus, this and other residents whose
personal monies were being handled by the facility were at risk of not having an accurate accounting of their funds.
9. Based on all of the foregoing, Respondent has violated Section
400.427(3), Fla. Admin. Code, by failing to maintain complete accurate
records of those funds kept for safekeeping.
10. The foregoing violation constitutes a Class III violation. Class
"HI" violations are those conditions or occurrences related to the operation
and maintenance of a facility or to the personal care of residents which the
agency determines indirectly or potentially threaten the physical or
emotional health, safety, or security of facility residents, other than class I
or class IT violations. A Class III violation is subject to an administrative fine
of not less than $500 and not exceeding $1,000 for each violation.
11. This violation constitutes a repeat and/or uncorrected violation
from a survey dated on or April 3, 2002. Respondent was provided a
mandated correction date of June 7, 2002.
12. Said violation constitutes an uncorrected Class III and warrants
imposition of the fine of $1000.
CLAIM FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, AHCA respectfully requests the following relief:
a) Enter factual and legal findings in favor of AHCA.
b) Impose a fine in the amount of $1000.00; and
c) Any other general and equitable relief as deemed appropriate.
COUNT II

13. AHCA re-alleges and incorporates by reference paragraphs one
(1) through six (6) above as if fully set forth herein.
14. On or about June 11, 2002, AHCA performed a survey at
Respondent's facility. AHCA cited Respondent based on the findings below:
to wit:
Findings include:
Review of the resident contract during the survey found a document that did not contain any clause/provision that
indicated that once the contract was terminated, the resident/representative would be allowed a period of no less than
14 calendar days to respond to any claim against the refund.
15. Based on all of the foregoing, Respondent has violated Section
