SENT VIA CERTIFIED LETTER
RE: Bayshore Manor
Dear
A copy of Rebecca Angel's January 14, 2005 letter to you has been provided to me along
with proof of service dated January 15, 2005 of said letter. That letter reiterated that you were
advised that the change of your father's status as a resident at Bayshore Manor from private pay
to non-private pay was conditioned upon a determination of eligibility from the Department of
Children and Families (DCF) for food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare Benefidary Programs and/or any
other state funded programs for which your father may be eligible. The letter noted that while
you complied with the application requirement, DCF had Informed Monroe County that your
father's case was denied and dosed based on their Investigation of three open accounts in your
father's name with assets in excess of , The letter also directed you to provide
documentation showing that DCF's information was Incorrect and that the assets were not
available or your father would be returned to private pay status ~ffectfve January 1, 2005, which
would require the private pay fee to be paid. As of the date of this letter, you have not paid the
amount required of private pay residents nor have you provided any documentation to show that
DCF's information Is incorrect.
Accordingly, I am writing to you to inform you that should these matters not be resolved
on a timely basis, the Board of County Commissioners will be requested to terminate the contract
and to authorize the County Attorney's Office to pursue payment from you for the private pay
rate for the time period involved up to termination of your father's residency at Bayshore Manor.
PLEASE GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY.
Suzanne A. Hutton
Assistant County Attorney
