Inspector General Christi A. Grimm announced today that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) has excluded Mr. Bob G. Dean, Jr., from participation in Federal healthcare programs due to his ownership interest in seven Louisiana nursing homes that OIG previously excluded. The Louisiana Department of Health revoked the facilities’ licenses to operate as nursing homes due to multiple violations of state law that left seven residents dead and hundreds of others neglected and vulnerable following Hurricane Ida in August 2021. As a result, OIG has excluded the nursing homes and their owner.
