Alexander, et al. v. Mayhew et al.
(N.D. Fla., J. Hinkle, 2019)
We represented seniors and people with disabilities who are on the state’s wait list for home-based long-term-care services and at risk of unnecessary and unwanted institutionalization. After filing a challenge under the Americans With Disabilities Act, we obtained full services for four plaintiffs, and an agreement that the State would build a website that provides information about long-term care services in one place, as it was extremely difficult to get any online information.
The Agency for Health Care Administration website is Here.
Our co-counsel were Justice in Aging, Disability Rights Florida, private attorney Nancy Wright, and lawyers from the firm of Cozen O’Connor.
