## Resource

A Kalihi foster care home operator, Ederlina Manzano, faces closure after pleading no contest to endangering an incompetent person — stemming from failing to report a head injury and provide medical care for an 87-year-old resident. The state Department of Health ordered her to discharge all clients by July 31, 2026, while the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit oversees the case. Manzano received a one-year deferred plea, a $1,000 fine, and must write an apology to the family. She has 20 days to request a hearing — otherwise, the shutdown is final. This case underscores the state’s zero-tolerance stance on neglect, prioritizing safety for vulnerable elderly residents.
