Boarding
home
elosed
for abuse

MIAMI (AP) - A judge yesterday ordered the closing of a
boarding home after a 101-year-old resident claimed the
owners locked her in a closet while an inspector checked for
alleged overcrowding.
The state Department of Health and Rehabilitative Ser-
vices alleged in a hearing that Carmel Glemaud, who runs
the Paradise Boarding Home home with her husband, Josef,
drove Rose Crooks to another house and locked her in the
closet to hide her from department inspector Joe Dooley.
TWO OTHER RESIDENTS CLAIMED they were sent to a
public park for the night before the April 3 inspection.
Dade Circuit Judge Moie Tenderich issued an emergency
injunction to shut down the boarding home, saying the
remaining four residents should be moved out as soon as
possible. Another hearing will be held later to determine
whether the home should lose its license.
Dooley testified that he was investigating reports that Mrs.
Glemaud, licensed by the state to provide six people with
room, board and personal care, had crowded in more than
that. Dooley said he also was investigating allegations of

abuse and deteriorating conditions at the Paradise.
HAROLD LONG, THE attorney for Mrs. Glemand, put
72-year-old Thelma Mosher on the stand. The woman
testified that she received good care at the home.
Mrs. Mosher told the court that she calls Mrs. Glemaud
"my mother, because she takes such good care of me."
Mrs. Glemaud also testified, but was not asked about Ms.
Crook's claims that she was locked in a closet. However, the
boarding home owner said that she had made repairs to the
facility demanded by the department.
Andrea O'Brien, 50, earlier told state-officials that Mrs.
Glemaud gave her $2 for lunch and sent her to spend the night
in the park with Elfen Noble "so they (state officials)
wouldn't count us."
Ms. O'Brien said it rained some that night, but she and Ms.
Noble hid in a playground shelter "so the cops wouldn't pick
us up." Ms. Noble, who is described as being in her 80s, is
now in a nursing home. Ms. O'Brien has been moved to
another retirement home.
