State sues to close unlicensed facility

Monday, March 8, 1999 | 10:45 a.m.

The Nevada Department of Human Resources filed suit in Clark County District Court to close an allegedly illegally operating group home.

A suit seeking an injunction and declaratory relief was filed against Alice Anthony for operating a home for the elderly at 4850 Spanish Wells Drive. A hearing is scheduled on March 29.

State investigators said the group home provides food and shelter for four residents.

Anthony is accused of operating the home without obtaining a license. The suit says Anthony was given written notice to close the home in November and when operations were continued through Feb. 17, the suit was filed.

The state said it also was looking into transferring residents of the home to alternative placements.

Anthony could not be reached for comment.
