19 Skilled Nursing Facilities (CA/TX) — Joint $1.57M Excluded Employee Settlement

Outcome: Nineteen skilled nursing facilities across California and Texas collectively settled for $1,565,374.11 for employing individuals they knew or should have known were excluded from federal healthcare programs.

Nineteen skilled nursing facilities operating in California and Texas — including Sundance Creek Post Acute, Jurupa Hills Post Acute, Redwood Cove Healthcare Center, Houston Transitional Care, Norwood Towers Post Acute, Stoney Point Healthcare, San Diego Post Acute, Crystal Ridge Care Center, Concord Post Acute, Balboa Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Escondido Post Acute, Crystal Cove Care Center, Huntington Valley Healthcare Center, Napa Post Acute, Sunnyvale Post Acute Center, Trellis Centennial, Mirage Post Acute, Aviara Healthcare, and Westview Healthcare Center — jointly settled with OIG for employing individuals excluded from federal healthcare programs.

The joint resolution of 19 facilities in a single enforcement action suggests these SNFs may share common ownership or management, and that the excluded-employee violation was systemic across the network rather than isolated. The May 29, 2025 settlement totaled $1,565,374.11.

How Crucible Prevents This

Crucible's OIG exclusion screening enforcement hooks applied across all 19 facilities simultaneously would catch excluded employees at every location; a centralized multi-facility compliance dashboard with automated monthly LEIE checks prevents the coordinated excluded-employee pattern this joint settlement reflects.
