NorthEscambia.com reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit arrested yesterday Adrienne Taylor, the facility administrator of Kipling Manor Retirement Center, for allegedly tampering with or harassing a witness, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence, and giving false information to a law enforcement officer.

According to the investigation, Taylor withheld evidence, created false reports, and had others provide false statements during an investigation into her employer, Kipling Manor, assisted living facility off of Olive Road in Escambia County. Taylor could receive 31 years in prison and fines. The case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, William “Bill” Eddins, in the First Judicial Circuit.

Taylor was also arrested in July, along with Belie Brock Williams, for allegedly refusing psychological nursing caregivers entrance into the Kipling Manor facility to assist mental health residents resulting in residents without care for two to three weeks. Taylor allegedly failed caregiver responsibilities to protect the residents from the abuse and did not ensure residents received prescribed nursing services. Investigators received information regarding the alleged abuse and neglect from the Northwest Florida Long Term Care Ombudsman Program Office.
