A Green Bay caregiver organization is being fined for its refusal to provide in-home care to a patient with HIV.
This inaction caused Helping Hands Caregivers to be accused of violating the Americans with Disabilities act.
Federal prosecutors claim several caregivers in the organization refused to help the patient and even ended their relationship with the client.
Helping Hands has been ordered to pay $10,000 in compensatory damages to the individual, adopt a non-discrimination policy, train staff, and in the future provide written notification of complaints to the Department of Justice.
Helping hands, for their part, did not admit liability.
