Nursing Home Boss Fined for Hidden Conviction
11 Aug
Summary
- Administrator fined $500 for not reporting criminal conviction.
- He failed to report a 2019 misdemeanor offense in Minnesota.
- Required to complete three hours of ethics training.
An Iowa nursing home administrator has faced disciplinary action from state regulators for not disclosing a past criminal conviction.
Brian Douglas Reindl was charged by the Iowa Board of Nursing Home Administrators for failing to report a criminal conviction within the required 30-day timeframe. This offense occurred seven years prior to the board's action, while Reindl was employed at care facilities in both Iowa and Minnesota.
The specific details of the misdemeanor offense from October 11, 2019, were not made public by the board. However, records indicate a separate incident in Minnesota involved charges of harassment and assault.
Reindl's employment at the Minnesota facility ended shortly after the incident. He later pleaded guilty to assault causing fear and received a one-year probation. The Minnesota board also mandated six hours of professional conduct training.
In Iowa, the settlement includes a $500 civil penalty and requires Reindl to complete three hours of ethics training.
