Madison Heights Nurse Charged with Practicing Medicine Without a License, Falsifying Medical Records

LANSING – Today, Antonio Serraon, 55, of Warren, was arraigned in the 43rd District Court in Madison Heights before Magistrate Michael G. Mitchell on one count of Placing Misleading or Inaccurate Information in Medical Records or Charts and one count of Unauthorized Practice of a Health Profession, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Both offenses are felonies.  

On December 13, 2023, at Mission Point of Madison Heights, a nursing home where Serraon was employed, a disabled resident allegedly fell and struck his head on the floor. Serraon is accused of falsely documenting follow-up care that was never provided. It is further alleged that prior to the fall, Serraon administered a controlled sedative to the resident without proper authorization. The resident later died due to injuries sustained in the fall. 

“Unlawful conduct by a healthcare provider is deeply concerning—particularly when it directly compromises patient safety,” Nessel said. “Patients and their families, as well as other healthcare providers, trust nurses to perform their critical duties within the boundaries of professional standards and the law. Falsifying records or administering medication in a manner not prescribed increases serious harm to patients. My office remains committed to holding healthcare providers who engage in such misconduct accountable.” 

The Madison Heights Police Department initially investigated the incident and contributed to this case.  

Serraon is scheduled to appear for a probable cause conference on March 19 at 11:00 a.m. and a preliminary examination on April 2 at 8:00 a.m. before the 43rd District Court. 

The Attorney General’s Health Care Fraud Division (HCFD) is handling this case for the Department. The HCFD is the federally certified Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for Michigan and it receives 75% of its funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under a grant award totaling $5,703,460.00 for the fiscal year 2025.
