A senior living facility CEO has been indicted in Wisconsin on federal charges that he committed fraud against the government and employees and his alleged crimes led to a decline in the quality of care for patients at nursing homes.

A grand jury in the Western District of Wisconsin returned a 12-count indictment against Kevin Breslin, 56, managing member and CEO of KBWB Operations, LLC doing business as Atrium Health and Senior Living. The company had skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Michigan. “The defendants certified that they would operate their Wisconsin SNFs with adequate staffing, supplies, environment, and ancillary services, which they did not do. The defendants certified that they would operate their Wisconsin SNFs in a manner that would enhance the resident’s quality of life by providing them services and activities to attain and maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident in accordance with a written plan of care, which they did not do,” reads the indictment.

“Instead of using their Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement funds to take care of the residents in their Wisconsin SNFs, and ensure that the Wisconsin residents attained or maintained the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, as required by Title 42, the defendants diverted these funds for other purposes.” Some local Atrium locations include Atrium Post Acute Care of Black River Falls, Wisconsin; Atrium Post Acute Care of Marshfield, Wisconsin; and Atrium Post Acute Care of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.
