I first broke the news on Saturday that LR would close down Las Vegas. I have now learned they were served with a 60-day eviction notice. Landmark told people yesterday and blamed it on Admissions. Landmark is full of lies, and so is Matty Boyle. This news contradicts his birthday email, discussing how things would improve. Matty has lied about the layoffs in March, too. One email said it was a house cleaning when it was for financial reasons. I was one of those who were laid off on Black Friday, March 3rd, 2023. I wouldn’t trust anything he says.
Why did I need to break the Las Vegas and Oklahoma City news? I have been questioned a few times about what I know and report. I know I have a giant bullseye on my back, and some people are waiting for me to be knocked off my pedalstool. I have integrity and character. I vet my information and know who is lying and feeding me misinformation. Landmark has yet to sue or serve me with a cease and desist. Landmark lacks integrity. Landmark is still hiring in OKC. They were hiring an Executive Director in Las Vegas, even knowing they were being evicted. How many more facilities will be closing becuase Landmark failed to pay rent?
Landmark just opened a 192-patient facility in Ohio. This facility will be closed come January 2024 with the law stating if a facility loses its license in one state, it loses it in Ohio. Landmark keeps focusing on expansion instead of fixing the issues. Landmark buys a property, increases its value, and then sells it. This is not sustainable. Landmark isn’t giving employees severance in Las Vegas. The wheels are falling off.
Here’s the thing: I have gotten under Matty’s skin and am living rent-free in his head. He hates me, my website, and The Collective. We all live rent-free in his head, and he can’t evict us. So, Matty, you come for the king you better not miss because I’m your huckleberry. You cracked me up yesterday. I am still laughing about it. You don’t live rent-free in my head. Chess, not checkers.
Just the other, Matty Boyle was talking about how well the company is doing and that things are about to improve. Well, guess again: LR of Oklahoma City has 30 days to vacate the premises as they are being evicted. The landlord has had issues with collecting rent. In true Landmark fashion, only a few people know. The rest of the staff at OKC will be told next Friday. They will have three weeks to find a new job. The employees that do know can remain employed if they move to Morrilton, Arkansas. Do admissions know?
This is going to hurt Landmark. They will lose the Tribal contract. The Tribal contract was a huge money maker for Landmark. They would fly patients to Las Vegas and Denver as they could get cheap direct flights. Landmark will need to continue expanding or cutting its losses. Rumor has it that Landmark may shut down Las Vegas. I am shocked that Battle Creek is still open, as that facility was never profitable.
Yesterday was Matthew Boyle’s birthday, and he had a present for all of us. Matty sent out the following email. I published in as is, with the typos and grammatical errors.
From yesterday’s birthday boy, Matty Boil: Team
I understand we have all been through the ringer in the past few months. Many of us are weary, scared, and tired. I know personally I’ve slept in my own bed two nights since Labor Day. We have been through a lot, and we continue to face a lot.
In light of this, I wanted to share some good news. We have received toxicology and autopsy results from the deaths in Mishawaka. We can confirm officially there were in fact no overdoses. We know there was one suicide. The other deaths resulted from natural processes related to the patients’ disease. Some of you may be aware today is my birthday. After what we have gone through in the past few months, it was a great birthday present to receive this piece of validation. Whatever problems we may have had last year, this information validates what I have always maintained. We began cleaning house in March. We made positive changes as a company. We made tremendous progress in a short period of time. I am proud of what we have achieved. The events of July were tragic, but they were not a result of a failure of the company to provide quality healthcare. That is beyond a shadow of a doubt now.
Starting tomorrow, a new chapter will begin. We will work to restore our licenses and reopen the facilities that were closed. Of course, there is no guarantee this will work, but given the information we have now received, I am quite optimistic. I am proud that we have once again opened a new facility, in Westerville, OH. We received a new license today in Morrilton, Arkansas. It is always darkest before the dawn. Do not get distracted by the folks on facebook or the websites about us or the media. They have been wrong all along. We know what we stand for. We know the truth. And, despite all the odds, when it seems impossible, the truth has a funny way of sticking around. We will get through this, stronger than ever. We always have and always will.
There are many things to unpack here. Matty told the news reporters he would sit down for an interview. He proceeds to ghost them. With this good news, will he finally do it? If I were him, I would ensure the media knew these findings. Matt will be asked tough questions like staffing ratios, bed checks, and why the court forced them to turn over the CCTV videos.
Matty is going to focus on getting their licenses reinstated. Landmark was on a corrective plan earlier this year. Landmark not only failed to make the necessary changes, things got worse. Please remember that several former patients are suing Landmark over how they were treated while under Landmark’s care. Three people died under Landmark’s care at Mishawaka. Matty blames the patients for their deaths and accepts zero responsibility.
Do you know that Landmark has distanced themselves from the Mishawaka facility? They removed the location from the website, and the old URL redirects to the locations page. The website listed on the Google Business Profile (GBP) links to the Medicaid Facilitry website.
Matty refers to Black Friday, March 3rd’s layoffs as cleaning house. My team was gutted that day. We were told that we were being let go due to financial issues. Now we were laid off for house cleaning? Two people found new roles at the company. Make this make sense??? Matty hasn’t made anything better; he destroyed a wonderful and happy work environment. People have been unhappy since that day, and it’s only gotten worse. Employees hope that each day is their last day.
Matty then goes on to state that a new facility in Ohio. If Landmark fails to get its license reinstated in Indiana, it will be shut down in January. Again, the Boyles like to focus on expansion instead of fixing the issues at the facilities. Are you aware that Landmark needs the proper insurance level to perform telehealth? Landmark is trying to work around being unable to bill Medicaid in Indiana by using MD Wise.
Thank you, Matty, for acknowledging this website and the folks on Facebook. FYI, it’s one website and two Facebook groups. Do you think people are that stupid to believe you and ignore us and the media? People aren’t drinking the Kool-Aid. You said one thing that I agree with. The truth will stick around. Your false claims and criminal activities will be exposed to the world. I have several surprises in store for you. One final note: some of your employees mock your emails.
Is Misty Hogan misguided, or did she overdose on the LR Kool-Aid? Misty Hogan is a Clinical Liaison at Landmark. She is also a Clinical Liason. Yes, she managed to misspell her job title and never removed it. Misty has the time of her life promoting LR at various events. Misty loves to post about them on LinkedIn, where she tags Gemma Gutierrez and Justin Hartman. She tagged Lisa Slate once.
Misty is on the board of directors for Recover Out Loud. This is morally unethical. ROL is active in the community and wants to help everyone in recovery. She had a LR booth at an event put on by Recover Out Loud. Misty sees no issues with this. Why would she, Landmark, line her pockets with a paycheck? The image below shows a banner ROL created as Misty stands behind a LR table.
BDMs get bonuses on the amount of money that Landmark makes. Misty is triple dipping here. She is at an ROL event promoting LR to get patients into a facility and collecting a bonus. This is unethical and morally irresponsible. Misty sponsors events that contradict Matt Boyle’s beliefs. Matt doesn’t support the LGBTQ+ community. Misty believes that Landmark empowers women. I know too many women who will dispute that statement. The only women that Landmark cares about are skinny, pretty, or screwable. Landmark has been laying off more women and replacing them with men in the last few months. A few departments consist of men only.
Landmark is desperate to fill beds. Misty’s efforts won’t work after Landmark lost Blue Cross/ Blue Shield and Medicaid in Indiana. The census is low; Misty’s only hope is that she still has a job after Landmark continues to lay off and not pay staff. If it comes to her and a man, she will let go.
Brandy Luppino is trying to perform damage control for LR. Brandy is the Business Office Manager at Medicaid Facilitry of the Firelands by LR. According to Brandy, this location has had zero issues. Well, that’s not entirely true. She did report that an employee was let go or quit after having an affair with a patient. According to Brandy, this is the only blemish for this facility. I know that this is a bald-faced lie. The sewer backed up and was left to dry as nobody bothered to clean it. There is mold in the facility.
Brandy is a member of The Talk about Willard Ohio Facebook group. A member posted a news story about Samantha Thompson’s death at the Willard, OH, facility. Brandy posted the following comment in the group, “I mean, I guess If we believe the media never has an agenda and that they can be trusted to tell the full truth, then sure, let’s shut down a place that’s helped hundreds of people.” LR and some current employees have an agenda. How can multiple media outlets have the same agenda to smear LR? How do they all find ex-employees and patients to come forward with similar stories? Please see her comment and my reply.
I am waiting to see if Brandy replies to me. Brandy did reply to another member on Thursday, October 5th. Poor Brandy didn’t know who she was mouthing off to. That member was a dispatcher for the Willard Police Department and the Huron County Sheriff’s Office. This would be a person if anybody would know the issues at the Willard location. Brandy is playing checkers while others are playing chess.
I would like to know if LR knows that Brandy was sharing this website with employees at Willard. I want to thank you, Brandy. Your sharing of this website allowed me to receive information from sources connected to your facility. What did you hope to gain from this? It backfired on you. I know that you are playing both sides and can’t be trusted. I see through you. The gig is up. Now you get to deal with this post and me ranking for your name. I won!!!
I am sorry that I haven’t published a new post in weeks. A lot is happening behind the scenes. I appreciate everyone who reached out via email, chat, and text. There is a mole in the Collective group. We don’t know if it was intentional or if somebody was trying to harass LR. I do have a suspect in mind. This person has played both sides a few times.
Here is what I know and can share. The remaining employees at home office are all on the fifth floor now. Some folks at the Home Office were paid late on Friday, while others, I am told, are still waiting. Landmark is still laying people off at home office, and the mood is the worst that it has ever been. Some people dread going into the office. Landmark has cut the contributions of medical benefits, forcing employees to pay more out of pocket. Mutual of Omaha dropped Landmark. Landmark was deducting money from paychecks for insurance and now needs to pay employees back. It sounds like Landmark needs to rob Peter to pay Paul.
I have heard more information regarding Samantha Thompson’s death. The autopsy should be coming out in November. Alvin Luster is the current Executive Director at Willard. Not a lot of people have anything nice to say about him. There are over two hours of transcripts of the emergency calls for Willard. There have been many staff members who had sexual relations with patients. Some were trading cigarettes and vapes in exchange for sexual favors. It seems Willard was one of the only facilities where staff were terminated for this. The Willard facility is 1000 feet from a preschool due to Landmark not performing proper assessments on patients at Home Office. Willard unknowingly admitted registered sex offenders. These patients would be there for days before it was discovered. Once it was known, these patients had to be transferred to Euclid. Can you imagine working or being a patient at a facility and not knowing that a registered sex offender was a patient? It does feel that Landmark does not regard its staff and fellow patients. There was a confirmed rape at Euclid back in May.
I have heard about multiple affairs inside facilities and at the Home Office. Several people have told me that Matty “Boil” Boyle’s wife, Maura, is a racist and won’t allow minorities in their home. I heard that Landmark wanted to fire anybody that was overweight. Clifford and Matty like to surround themselves with Pretty Young Things. MAGA hats are allowed in the office, yet rainbow flags are deemed too political.
The census is the worst that it has ever been. The word has gotten out. Sadly, Landmark is still trying to open more facilities. They can’t fill the facilities in Louisville, yet they are trying to open another facility there. This is how poor management is. Landmark is getting killed on Glassdoor. I love the comments from current and former clients. I refresh it daily and am usually the first to mark it as helpful. The truth keeps coming out daily. The amount of hate for Matty Boil is through the roof. I have heard from many nonviolent people who want to kick the snot out of him. I feel the same about him and Justin Hartman. Hartman destroyed admissions and wished to prevent proper patient screenings. It was all about Filling The Fucking Beds and damn the consequences. Once the beds were filled, Landmark would charge patients for medications and services they never received. This is insurance fraud.
Landmark will lose its license on January 1st, 2024. A new law will be passed that once a facility loses its license in one state, it loses it in every state. I heard one state is chopping at the bit to yank Landmark’s license on January 1st. Landmark has transitioned from being the Titanic to the Hindenburg phase. They are going to implode. This won’t be the end of Landmark; they still have the civil lawsuits, criminal cases, the Department of Justice, and The DEA to deal with. Landmark is beyond screwed.
I started this project to shine a light on the darkness of greed. This has become a group project. I may be one of the vocal people, but I appreciate everyone who has come forward with your stories and information. You are the true heroes. You were in the thick of it. I was so far removed. You got into this industry to help people. I am glad that I can share your stories and your pain. I have met countless wonderful people. Some of you I have become friends with along the way. This project has hurt me along the way. Some of your stories were painful and took their toll on me. I was also going through some personal things at the time, and I was hiding myself in a bottle. I had two people I met during this process that set me straight. I am a passionate person, and I feel your pain. We are all in this together, with the end goal to end Landmark and help a community of people who need help.
On Monday, August 28th, a female patient detoxing from alcohol died while taking a nap. Matthew Boyle, LR CEO, was in Ohio that week. We left the Medicaid Facilitry of Cleveland by LR as soon as he heard about the death and headed to the Willard facility. The patient was pronounced dead at the hospital. The patient hadn’t been prescribed any medication for withdrawal. The patient scored no higher than ten on her CIWA. The CIWA-AR allows physicians to measure the severity of patients’ alcohol withdrawal syndrome, and thus prevent further health complications and treat the withdrawal syndrome accordingly.
Landmark has ruled this death as a neurological seizure. It appears the death is still being investigated. The police report of the incident hasn’t been posted online yet. I know that some investigations take time to be conducted. I wonder if the coroner awaits the surveillance tapes before completing the investigation.
Matty is back in Willard today. I was told he is addressing the city council tonight. I hope that they ask him about the death and the ongoing investigation.
Shortly after LR laid off employees on March 3rd, 2023, Landmark entered into a sponsorship with race car driver Madison Snyder. While it’s normal for a business to have various sponsorships, this case is different. Madison is LR’s Chief Revenue Officer, CRO Justin Hartman’s niece. Landmark sponsoring Madison is not only blatant nepotism, but Madison is promoting her uncle’s company. I cannot find any disclosure stating Madison’s affiliated with a Landmark employee.
I contacted Madison’s management company to inquire if they were comfortable having their client affiliated with a business under multiple investigations. I am still waiting to hear back. Nepotism is nothing new to LR. Clifford Boyle is the company’s president, and his son, Matty “Bunny” Boyle, is the CEO. Matty’s stepfather, Michael Walsh, is the Clinical Outreach for LR. In fact, Madison’s dad is also employed by LR. His role is to find patients to be admitted into the Battle Creek facility.
Since Landmark entered this sponsorship with Madison, Landmark has laid off, furloughed, and let countless employees go. Some employees weren’t given a severance package. I hear Landmark is having issues with payroll or making the current severance payments. Madison’s race season ends on October 8th. Time will tell if her sponsorship gets renewed. Landmark may no longer operate in Michigan by the start of the next racing season.
Michael Walsh is related to CEO Matthew Boyle and Director of Clinical Outreach for LR. August 31st is National Overdose Awareness Day, and Landmark put out a video to commemorate the day. While Landmark does this every year, it was ill-timed this year with all of the news surrounding the deaths and criminal investigations. Several former employees, myself included, and an admin for a Facebook group posted comments calling out LR. Michael decided to way in by saying, Makes me so F ing mad sometimes when I see ignorant people act like they are experts.” The Facebook admin and I are those “ignorant people.” Michael doubled down by replying to me with, “… you don’t know me, you saw me in a couple of zoom meetings-grow up and get a job.” I attempted to reply but I was blocked from the LR Facebook page. I was able to get screenshots prior to being blocked.
The Facebook admin tagged Michael in a post asking about the “ignorant people,” comment. Michael trippled down with the following comment, “… I’m referring to you and Jason specifically. Keep acting like High school kids – I’m sure you’ll make a great difference in the world. Today is overdose awareness day but I guess everyday is attack LR Day. How many treatment centers have you run? How many have you visited? How many Sentinel events have you experienced or investigated? Keep doing what you do…I’m sure you think your helping” I am sorry, Michael, that Landmark is finally being held accountable for the years of issues inside the facilities. The only people I know acting like they are still stuck in high school are in positions of Executive Directors and on the C-suite team. I have heard employees talking about people and patients behind their backs, constantly backstabbing, and playing games, all while towing the company line.
Michael wasn’t done and wanted to discredit me, “It’s not a PR stunt, it’s something Landmark has done since they started and your friend Jason seemed fine with what Landmark was doing and how they operated when he was on the payroll…you don’t find that suspect?” Michael wasn’t done. He replied with, “my reputation isn’t on the line because I take responsibility for my actions and decisions like a person in recovery is supposed to- in all my affairs. If you think you haven’t made comments that are totally opinion and little fact then you don’t spend enough time reading what you write and I’m not talking specifically about posts related to landmark. I’ll give you one little example of an opinion post – someone asked about why treatment centers take phones away and “I heard it’s to keep people against their will” was a fan favorite of your sycophants. Not one mention of the cameras that can take photos and be shared breaking people’s anonymity. How about people being distracted in Group or individual therapy? I can list at least 10 good clinical reason why people shouldn’t have phones in treatment but you and your fans wouldn’t really care about little things like that I imagine. we will agree to disagree…I have a vested interest in landmark just like every other program I’ve seen and that any other employee should have and I will wait until the facts come out wether in Landmarks favor or not because that’s what our justice system allows for in America. I’ll have no problem taking blame if I’ve done something wrong. I’ve got nothing to hide; my reputation will be judged by the people I respect and it won’t be on Facebook. You just keep doing what you do and I’ll do the same but if you think you’ve got some ownership on some moral high ground here maybe your the one who needs to take a look in the mirror.”
Here is my reply to Michael, “Wow, Michael Walsh, you brought a gun to a knife fight. I worked remotely as the Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Manager. I worked remotely and only visited the home office twice for two-day stretches. I wasn’t privy to what was transpiring in the facilities. If I had known, I would have tendered my resignation and blown the whistle. I was unaware of an issue until Kyle Johnston posted in this group. I alerted my boss, Lisa Slate, as I knew that this matter needed to be investigated and addressed. Lisa Slate said that the ED was promoted to run PCLE when they never should have. They screwed up badly at their previous facility. I was privy to the issue of how Lisa could only pay vendors at the end of each month. The payment was all going to be resolved by selling several properties. The only legal issue I knew about was the private Christian school suing to stop Landmark. I was in the dark about the evil happening in facilities. It wasn’t until Friday, July 14th, that I was alerted to the deaths at Mishawaka that I started looking into Landmark. I spent my Saturday investigating Landmark and the comments being posted. When I saw that a C-suite employee made a joke about people being raped, I knew I had to do something—really referring to PSBN as Please Bend Me Over. That’s disgusting. What’s worse is that IT pulled the video and allowed anybody who wanted to watch it. I have been exposed to how evil Landmark is in the seven weeks since I started this website. You have staff sleeping with patients, trafficking drugs, teaching patients how to dissemble light bulbs to smoke drugs, staff raping patients and other staff, black mold in showers, fist fights, assaults, and at least one riot. I know of emergency exits being bolted shut, doors not properly closing, low staff counts, and being numbered by patients. I know about overdoses not being reported and how it was the standard operating procedure to prevent staff from dialing 911 or how staff was instructed not to turn over a patient’s belongings, cell phones, and wallets when they tried to leave on their own and against the staff’s recommendations. I know about patients being stuck at the airport because their credit cards failed. I know about employees embezzling money on multiple occasions. I know about staff and nurses stealing and using drugs. I know about the unpaid vendors and bills. I never knew about any of this and never signed up for it. I have been respectful, and you cannot have an adult conversation without name-calling. Once you start name-calling, you lose the argument. You called Melissa and me ignorant and high-school kids. You told me to grow up and get a job. Exposing and bringing down LR is my full-time job. LR is the poster child for everything that is wrong in the industry. I will make sure that NAATP and FARR know about what’s really happening inside of Landmark. How would you like me to know? You can keep playing checkers, and I will play chess. I am more intelligent than you; you proved it for all to see. You think you got me, but all you do is admit that I worked for LR. You didn’t burn me like you thought you did. I have had better trolls than this. This is a 12-round fight, and we just started round two. Can you go all 12 rounds with me? I predict a KO in round 5. Then we will see who needs to grow, son.”
Michael only seems to focus on the deaths or incidents at Mishawaka. Mishawaka is not an isolated incident. The incidents I refer to happened at other facilities, and some happened at multiple facilities in different states. Landmark employees have relapsed from the stress they experienced while employed. I know of at least one employee who committed suicide. Current employees are walking on eggshells, wondering if they will be let go. This is a company in full chaos, with no end in sight. So excuse me, Michael, before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Yesterday, August 28th, several employees were informed that September 2nd or 4th would be their last day with LR. One of those employees is currently being furloughed. While this employee was on furlough, Landmark posted two job positions on Indeed. The two positions were posted four and five days ago. Why couldn’t this employee keep their job and take one of these two positions? Were they even offered one of these positions? What is interesting is that one job offer mentions the benefits, which were slashed, and the other one doesn’t
Landmark’s Morale is Low
Landmark was done a number on their employees. Morale is at an all-time low. Morale dropped drastically after the sixty to seventy employees were laid off on Friday, March 3rd. The employees named it Black Friday. The morale has gotten worse in the past two months. Employees are dreading opening their inbox to see what horror message awaits them. Is it another Matt Boyle rant where he takes zero responsibility for the issues plaguing Landmark? Will it be another email about payroll issues? Landmark slashed its insurance contributions. People were upset to see that email, and several people gave notice. Will employees receive an email from HR that they are being let go? Will it be another email announcing more people no longer with the company? Employees are scared, and they have every right to be. Employees are being let go in droves. There are only a handful of people whose jobs will always be safe. If you are worried about your job, you are not one of those people. Time will tell when the next batch of layoffs hits and who is out of a job.
