Description
By means of the petition now before us, MeadowWood Nursing Home seeks review of a civil monetary penalty imposed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) upon a finding that MeadowWood had failed to comply with certain Medicare/Medicaid regulations. A survey conducted by the Ohio Department of Health on behalf of HHS turned up several deficiencies in the facility, including MeadowWoods failure to maintain the nursing home as free of accident hazards as possible, as required by 42 C.F.R. § 483.25(h)(1). Waiving review of all other violations for which civil penalties were imposed, MeadowWood now appeals only the § 483.25(h)(1) penalty assessed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which was sustained by an administrative law judge for the HHS Departmental Appeals Board and then upheld by an appellate panel of the Appeals Board. We conclude that the Secretarys decision finding certain equipment in the facility unsafe is supported by substantial evidence, and we therefore affirm.
