Conclusions This cause came before me for issuance of a Final Order. In a sanction letter dated November 9, 2011, Respondent, Jumerolis Home Care Corp. was informed the Agency was seeking to impose a fine in the amount of eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00). The letter was sent certified mail, return receipt requested to Jumerolis Home Care Corp. (hereinafter “PROVIDER”). The letter contained full disclosure and notice regarding the PROVIDER’S administrative hearing and due process rights. The PROVIDER filed a petition for hearing. Upon review of documents subsequently submitted by the PROVIDER to the Agency, it was determined the sanction should be recalculated and the fine was adjusted to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). A copy of the correspondence reflecting the recalculated fine is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The PROVIDER paid the fine of $1,000.00 to the Agency’s Finance and Accounting Department on February 21, 2012.
