SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE AGAINST AHCA, FL MEDICAID

FL MEDICAID TERMINATED THIS FACILITY..

Ms. Williams got it reinstated.

_______________________

"Thank you Ms. Williams. We tried to work this out with AHCA but they wouldn't listen to us."

-- Mr. T.

Administrator FL Medicaid terminated this facility's Medicaid enrollment/contract wand refused to reinstate the facility despite the facility's multiple attempts at reinstatement. Without resolution, the facility would close because Medicaid was its largest payor source.

RESULT:

Ms. Williams not only obtained reinstatement without having to progress to hearing or lawsuit, but the facility's eligibility was reinstated

SUCCESSFUL REPRESENTATION IN NURSING HOME DEATH WHERE CPR WAS INCORRECTLY WITHHELD

The Nurse is still licensed today without restriction.

________________________

"Thank you! Thank you! My husband is disable and if I would have lost my license I don't know what we would have done. We didn't know what to do. Thank you."

--- Mrs. H, Registered Nurse

CPR was incorrectly withheld when this gentlemen coded despite multiple nurses and staff present at his bedside when this happened. They were unsure of his status but nobody retrieved the chart to check until it was too late. Sadly, he passed away. Ms. Williams' client was the R.N. Supervisor in charge of the facility. Her employer reported her to the Board of Nursing for Negligence, Negligent Supervision, and other acts due to the resident's death.

RESULT:

Ms. Williams defended her and the Board found NO probable cause existed against this nurse, which means it dismissed the charges in the confidential Probable Cause hearing. Accordingly, this nurse has no discipline, complaint, or charges on her public record and can legally answer "NO" to the question of whether she's ever been disciplined. ​.​

TWO DEATHS AT FACILITY IN ONE NIGHT, INCLUDING PATIENT SUICIDE.

AHCA filed to revoke the facility's license. It is still licensed today without restriction under the same Owner and Administrator.

_________________________

"For the first time since AHCA contacted me, I can sleep at night knowing Ms. Williams had my case." --- Mr. E., ALF Owner, Administrator, and Nurse

Two deaths occurred in one night at this ALF. Sadly, one resident committed suicide and the only staff member on duty died as well (later determined to be of natural causes). AHCA filed legal action to revoke the facility's license. The owner's nursing license was also at risk. Ms. Williams -- who is also a certified ALF Administrator, Registered Nurse, and Core Trainer --defended this facility.

RESULT:

AHCA dropped its revocation action against the ALF and it remains licensed without restriction under the same ownership and Administrator. No criminal charges, license complaint, or civil lawsuit was filed against the facility or Administrator.

RESIDENT/PATIENT ELOPEMENT ENDING IN DEATH

AHCA sought to revoke facility license. It is STILL licensed Today under the dame ownership and Administrator.

____________________________

"When I got the papers from AHCA, I couldn't believe it! I told my wife, EVERYTHING that they want us to do Ms. Williams has already done. Thank you Ms. Williams so much for helping us." ---- Administrator

Unfortunately, this mental health resident eloped/left facility in the wee morning hours without staff knowledge. Sadly, was hit by a car and killed. The facility was unaware that he was gone until later that morning. Ms. Williams was retained that day and immediately put emergency remedial/corrective measures in place, trained all Staff in the measures that day, as well as defended the facility based on her review of the situation and resident's medical record. (In addition to being an Attorney, Ms. Williams is a Registered Nurse.)

RESULT:

When AHCA subsequently issued its demands to the owner that day for correction within 24 hours, Ms. Williams had already completed EVERYthing on their list and was able to present that information with her defense to the surveyor. The facility remains licensed today under the same ownership and Administrator without restriction. No criminal charges or civil lawsuit was filed against the facility or anyone at the facility.
