ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
COMES NOW the Agency for Health Care Administration
(“AHCA"), by and through the undersigned counsel, and files this
Administrative Complaint against My Guardian Angel ALF, Inc.,
d/b/a My Guardian Angel ALF, Inc., (hereinafter “My Guardian
Angel ALF”), pursuant to chapter 400, part III, and section
120.60, Florida Statutes, (2002), and alleges:
NATURE OF THE ACTION
1. This is an action to revoke the license pursuant to
Sections 400.414({1) (a) and 400.414(1)(e), Fla. Stat., for the
protection of the public health, safety and welfare.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
2. AHCA has jurisdiction pursuant to Chapter 400, Part
III, Florida Statutes (2002).
3. venue lies in Miami Dade County, pursuant to Rule 28-
106.207, Florida Administrative Code (2002).
PARTIES
4. AHCA is the regulatory authority responsible for
licensure and enforcement of all applicable statutes and rules
governing assisted living facilities, pursuant to Chapter 400,
Part III, Florida Statutes (2002), and Chapter 58A-5 Florida
Administrative Code.
S. My Guardian Angel ALF operates a 6-bed assisted living
facility located at 15088 S.W. 71%" Lane, Miami, Florida 33193.
My Guardian Angel ALF is licensed as an assisted living
facility, license number AL9725; with the expiration date of
December 15, 2005. My Guardian Angel ALF was at all times
material hereto a licensed facility under the licensing
authority of AHCA and was required to comply with all applicable
rules and statutes.
COUNT I
MY GUARDIAN ANGEL FAILED TO ENSURE THAT AT LEAST ONE STAFF
MEMBER TRAINED IN FIRST AID AND CPR IS IN THE FACILITY AT ALL
TIMES
58A-5.019(4) (a)4, F.A.C.
(STAFFING STANDARDS)
CLASS I VIOLATION
6. AHCA re-alleges and incorporates paragraphs (1)
through (5) as if fully set forth herein.
7. A desk review was conducted on 01/26/2004, after
additional information was obtained from the Miami Dade Fire
Department. Based on the new information received, the
following deficiency was changed from Class II to Class I.
8. The information revealed that only the “caretaker” was
present at the facility on 10/07/2003 when resident #4 choked on
food. Record review revealed that the caretaker did not have
documentation of training in First Aid and CPR. The facility
did not have at least one staff member trained in First Aid and
CPR within the facility at all times. The facility
intentionally left the residents without a staff member trained
in First Aid and CPR, and as such, placed the residents’ health,
safety and welfare at risk. This is evidenced by the fact that
resident #4 choked to death in the absence of any trained staff
person being present.
9. Based on the foregoing, My Guardian Angel ALF violated
Section 58A-5.019(4) (a)4, F.A.C., a Class I violation, which
carries, in this case the revocation of license.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, AHCA requests this Court to order the following
relief:
i. Make factual and legal findings in favor of the Agency
on the Count I.
2. Revoke the license pursuant to Chapters 400.414(1) (a),
and 400.414(1) (e), Fla. Stat.
3. Assess costs related to the investigation and
prosecution of this matter, if applicable.
Respondent is notified that it has a right to request an
administrative hearing pursuant to Sections 120.569 and 120.57,
Florida Statutes (2001). Specific options for administrative
action are set out in the attached Election of Rights and
explained in the attached Explanation of Rights. All requests
for hearing shall be made to the Agency for Health Care
Administration, and delivered to the Agency for Health Care
Administration. Attn: Lealand McCharen, Agency Clerk, 2727 Mahan
