Owner of group home for Alzheimer’s patients loses license

The owner of a Henderson group home that catered to seniors with Alzheimer’s disease has lost her license to operate the facility, according to the Nevada State Health Division’s Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance.

Cynthia S. Ramos, owner of TLC Alzheimer’s Facility I at 155 Emden Drive, pleaded guilty last month to one count of attempted exploitation of the elderly and one count of conspiracy to commit theft, the health agency said today.

Under her plea agreement, Ramos was ordered to give up ownership of the Emden Drive facility as well as a second facility, TLC Alzheimer’s Facility 2, located at 723 Skipjack Drive.

The license for the Skipjack Drive facility was voluntarily relinquished on Sept. 18 and it subsequently closed. However, Ramos did not turn over the Emden Drive license, which prompted the health division to issue a notice of licensure revocation.

According to the health division there are no patients currently at the Emden Drive facility.
