LR has entered into an agreement with DMHA, a division of the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration. This will allow LR to apply for certification to reopen Bluffton and Carmel. LR will need to submit biweekly reports showing that LR is keeping up with the standard of Indiana’s codes and safety practices.
Imagine my surprise when several people from the Indianapolis facility advised me that LR is operating with low staff counts. LR let half of the nursing staff go. LR used this facility to demonstrate how they turned things around and are willing to comply with the regulations. If the DMHA heard this, would they reject LR’s application? Nicole Carter is the Executive Director for this location.
This demonstrates how LR continues to put patient safety at risk and ignores the rules and regulations. I hope this is brought to DMHA’s attention, that an inspection is conducted, and that LR loses the certification process.
I am being told Landmark is reopening Praxis of Fort Wayne by LR in May. LR is planning on reopening Praxis of Carmel by LR in November. Apparently Matty claims LR will have all of their medical contracts back.
Here is the full text from Matty’s email:
Team,
It is with great joy that I can announce we have reached a settlement agreement with Indiana’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction (DMHA) concerning the revocation of our licensure last summer. We have been cleared to reapply immediately for licensure at our locations in Bluffton and Carmel. Assuming we reopen these buildings and demonstrate compliance with Indiana’s regulations, we will be able to reapply for licensure at Mishawaka one year from today.
Many of you know we have been in discussions with DMHA since last December. I would be remiss not to mention that these discussions commenced after DMHA’s surprise visit to IND last September. The department took note of the monumental changes we had made as an organization in the changes we had made as an organization in the wake of the events at Mishawaka, and were incredibly pleased with the level of care provided by Nicole Carter and the team at IND. That survey gave us an audience to outline in detail all of the changes we made last fall to improve safety, staffing, and patient care. DMHA was further pleased with our presentation last December, and we quickly reached terms to reopen within the state. The delay since then is related both to DMHA’s political commitments during the Indiana legislative session, which ran from January to March, and internal debate at DMHA over if and how we should issue a press release concerning the reopenings. Ultimately, we mutually agreed not to make a statement to the press or external parties, although we remain free to discuss both internally and to external referral partners.
It has been an arduous year. We have shrunk considerably, both at the Facility Support Center and in terms of the number of facilities we operate. While this has been painful, it has been necessary to achieve a sustainable company that can operate profitably, grow slowly, and continue our mission to save a million lives in the next hundred years. We save a million lives in the next hundred years. We have cut our central overhead by 75%, which allows us to breakeven at 75% occupancy. We have shifted from a business that aimed to achieve 50/50 balance between commercial insurance and Medicaid to one that primarily focuses on Medicaid. I believe that is where the mission is, as that population is severely underserved. It also allows more predictable census at lower marketing spend. We have abandoned a strategy of rapid expansion for a more sustainable business plan of opening 4-5 great facilities per year. The net of these decisions is to remove substantial financial pressure and allow us to operate sustainably in the long term. We have shrunk to grow back better.
I understand many of us have sacrificed quite a bit to get to this point. It has been bumpy, and I cannot say the bumps are over yet, but the future is bright. DEN has been a bright spot, maintaining a wait list for the patients they can safely serve. They have made great strides in hiring and should be able to expand sometime in the next 30-45 days. PLIT has obtained Medicaid contracts and will be able to start seeing more patients in May. The Business Development Team has made great strides in April, winning back key accounts in Kentucky and Ohio winning back key accounts in Kentucky and Ohio and seeing a notable increase in census at those facilities. As a result of these victories, our outlook as a company remains stronger than ever, and I expect you will notice a difference come June. It has been a long and painful road, but, as a result of your hard work and dedication, it will have been worth it.
In terms of Indiana, we expect to get our licenses within 30 days, and then to obtain payer contracts $60-90$ days after that. Our plan is to reopen PFWA sometime around Labor Day, and then to reopen PIND around Thanksgiving. We also have two buildings to open in the Columbus area, another building in Colorado Springs, and one in Pittsburgh. We will pace ourselves and open responsibly, with timing determined by what the organization can handle, rather than forcing the organization to handle a preconceived opening pace. Beyond these buildings, any future expansion will be considered carefully, focused on growing density within states we know well and limiting entrance to new states. We do not have to be the biggest, but we will be the best.
Above all else, I want you to know I see you, and I appreciate you. Keep your heads held high. Be proud of the impact you have on our patients day after day. I am proud to have the privilege to lead this organization. It has not been easy, but the payoff is nearly here, and the mission is alive and well. I could not have gotten here without you, and for that I am forever grateful. May you celebrate this victory with your teams tomorrow, and let’s have a great Friday!
Landmark reached a deal with the state of Indiana to surrender its right to appeal the state’s revocations. Landmark can apply for new certificates to operate Praxis Treatment of Fort Wayne by LR and Praxis of Carmel by LR. Landmark has to wait a year before applying for Mishawaka’s certification. The agreement limits the census to 32 beds. If LR wants to increase the limit, they have to submit evidence they have hired the equate number of staff to accommodate the requested count. In order to have over 100 patients, LR has to demonstrate they have a full-time onsite physician. These facilities can only accept Medicaid.
Another interesting item is LR advised about a change of ownership regarding the LR of Indianapolis facility. One person commented that Cliffy is attempting to sell his stake in the company. Cliffy is making keeping Matty on as CEO as a part of the agreement.
As some people know, a class action lawsuit was filed by employees over wages. The complaint is employees were forced to clock out for meal breaks while working through the breaks. There is a complaint that employees worked overtime and weren’t paid for it. LR has initiated a mediation process with the 600+ employees involved in the suit. The lawsuit covers Patient Engagement Specialists (PES), Patient Navigators (PN), Nurses, and Directors of Nurses (DON). The mediation process started either this or the following week.
With LR’s track record of not paying bills, will LR pay when a settlement is reached? Time will tell.
I did a Google search for Matthew Boyle Landmark (redacted), and stupid Google pulled the wrong image for the featured snippet. I reached out to Matthew, whose image was being displayed. He advised me that he has repeatedly asked LR to remove him from the website. He is not the only former employee still on the website. Dr. Jason Kirby, Justin Hartman, and H. Chris Kang are on the website. LR no longer employs four of the six people listed on the Meet the Team page. LOL
This isn’t the only page that LR had neglected to update. LR has three closed locations listed on their locations page. They have two locations that are closing down at the end of month still listed on the website.
Perhapes LR shouldn’t have fired their marketing team or outsourced it. It does demonstrate how nobody is steering the ghost ship.
On Saturday, April 13, 2024, Hostgator, my hosting provider, advised me that I had not removed all Trademark Infringement content. I deleted my entire website and emailed them back. I already backed up the website when I learned I might be knocked offline once I heard. I lost a few comments and one post. The post doesn’t bother me, as it had the desired effect. I have two backups. One is on another website, ready to go, and the other is a secret.
In my annoying fashion, I emailed LR employees to A. taunt them, and B. rub their noses in it. I also joined the press and have my credentials. The next time they come for me, they will be violating my First Amendment rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.
I became a consumer advocate one year and a day ago. It was April 15, 2013. I remember that day clearly because I paused my marketing efforts when I heard about the Boston Marathon bombing. I received my first comment the following Saturday, April 20, 2013. The person and I work hand in hand, crowdsourcing and collecting 50 mom-and-pop shops, small businesses, non-profits, and universities, all of whom were owed money by Acteva. We directed everyone to the San Francisco District Attorney’s office. The SF DA took down the website and filed charges against the CEO. Acteva screwed over the wrong person, my wife, at the time. The problem is that when you screw over people, you never know who they are or who they are connected to. Thanks to Donny and Phil for teaching me how to do what I do. You two had a major impact on my career. Donny is still a great friend after all these years.
Here is what LR doesn’t seem to grasp or understand. I do this to help people and fight for those who feel powerless. Maybe it’s because I grew up with The A-Team or Equalizer. I use my skills to give back and make a decent living. I make no money from this website. I lost money because of the domain purchase and hosting fees. It’s worth it to put you out of business, hopefully, see y’all behind bars, and prevent people from going to or getting hired by LR.
I watched the fifth episode of Quiet on Set. Drake Bell spoke about how he went to rehab and groups; he realized he wasn’t alone. That is exactly what I hear from people who have contacted me. The failures of LR are not isolated to one facility. They are being replicated across multiple facilities. Staff are sleeping with staff and patients. Patients are sleeping with patients or raping patients. LR has turned a blind eye to staff sleeping with patients. Multiple people have emailed or DM’d me this. I have heard this from several facilities. When more than two people tell me similar stories, a presidences is formed.
Matty Boyle is not in control. He has no control over anything happening at the facilities. I don’t understand why he keeps visiting facilities. Nothing changes or gets improved. Several people have told me he is clueless or hides out while people get fired. I believe it.
Several people have stated he has no business running a business. He has an 80% disapproval rating on Glassdoor. It should be much lower, based on the questionable reviews I am seeing. Online reviews are my specialty. It’s a shame I can see more evidence of fraud than Glassdoor, but I digress.
Whatever issues you are seeing are not isolated to you or your facility. It has repeatedly happened and will happen. LR doesn’t have your best interest at heart. I will protect you and keep your identity safe. It serves me no good to expose you. I launched my first sucks website on April 15th, 2013. I have never named anybody, business, or university who came forward, and I never will. Acteva stole $65,000 from my now ex-wife’s company. I know this date because it was the date of the Boston Marathon Bombing. I stopped all of my promotions out of respect for what happened. I had 50 mom-and-pop small businesses, non-profits, and universities contact me. I was able to get this company shut down. The SF DA came in, shut down the website and escorted the employees out of the building.
When I say I am the real thing, I mean it. They don’t put me on CNBC, The Today Show, and various ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC affiliates because I am a fraud. The NY Times and Wall Street Journal didn’t interview and quote me because I am a fraud and full of crap. If it comes down to me going to jail or divulging a source, I’ll change my name to Andy Dufresne. Jail and lawsuits don’t scare me. The truth will previal.
LR is terminating employees at Medicaid Facility of Norfolk by Landmark Recovery. I am being told that employees were advised they were they were safe until May 1st, 2024. Again, LR says one thing and the next they do the opposite. Stop listening to LR, they don’t have your best interest in mind.
Have you ever wondered how one person could walk multiple dogs in unison? I walk three girls, and I wonder the same thing. I have Tina and Crystal on two dog leash coupler. Caitlin is my wild child. She lags, or when she and Crystal are on the coupler, they wrestle on our walks. Brad Shaver has left LR. Adam Stoddard is taking on his role. He was demoted from being the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). My source advised me he is out of his depth. Again, LR keeps promoting people lacking qualifications. It may also help that Adam is in a relationship with Matty Boyle. LR rewards loyalty or nepotism.
I received the following notice from HostGator, my website hosting provider.
Veronika Carnogurska filled the notice. She is the woman whom Cliffy was alleged to have had an affair with in the Cayman Islands. Interestingly, in EM’s lawyer’s filing, he claims Cliffy wanted EM to help her get hired, and now she has an official LR email address.
On Facebook, Veronika Harabinová (Carnogurska) dropped the Carnogurska from her last name. She is using it for her employment at LR.
Here is the letter from Michelle Lubbert the General Counsel for LR.
Maybe you should work on your on your grammatical error or sign up for Grammarly. It’s worked wonders for me and my writing.
Jokes on you. I used one plug-in to replace all references to Skidmark Recovery to LR and Prax** to Medicaid Facility. I am also protected by the 1st amendment. The comments are protected by Section 230. If you want to push this, you are going to learn about the Streisand Effect. You just started the process now. The question I want to know is, will you make matters worse? LR will be out of money or in jail before this goes to trial. If this goes to trial, I will reach out to all my contacts in the media. Bring it.
I have had several people contact me regarding issues at LR of Indianapolis. Last week LR discharged the seven IOP patients. Three were discharged on Thursday, March 28th, 2024, and four were discharged on Friday, March 29th, 2024.
I also had two different sources advise me that LR fired half of the nursing staff. LR “seems to think one nurse per shift is enough for medicine pass, patient care, intakes, emergencies, etc.”
When I went to search Google for LR of Indianapolis, I couldn’t find their Google Business Profile. I suspect it was suspended and removed by Google. If this is correct, there is no way LR will be able to get it reinstated. It will take an expert to successfully apply for reinstatement. It would take me 30 seconds to bypass the reinstatement process. LR lost my information and skills when they laid me off. Oh well.
