Kelley Oliver-Hollis, a resident of Pittsburgh’s East Hills neighborhood, pleaded guilty in federal court to health care fraud. The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Troy Rivetti.
Oliver-Hollis, 61, entered her plea before United States District Judge William S. Stickman IV. As part of her plea, she also acknowledged responsibility for 39 other counts from a Superseding Indictment filed in August 2025. These charges include making false statements related to health care matters, concealing material facts concerning health care, money laundering, and misuse of Social Security benefits by a representative payee.
According to information presented in court, Oliver-Hollis operated Serenitycare LLC in Penn Hills as an enrolled Medicaid provider under Pennsylvania’s Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver Program. The program required her to house and provide services for several intellectually disabled adults and ensure the homes were staffed with adequate workers. Between 2018 and 2023, records showed that Oliver-Hollis failed to properly staff the homes but submitted weekly claims for HCBS benefits falsely stating that staffing requirements were met. She also allowed the homes to deteriorate into disrepair, which led to multiple citations for unsanitary and unsafe conditions.
Sentencing is scheduled for February 10, 2026. The law allows for a maximum sentence of up to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 or both. The actual sentence will depend on the seriousness of the offense and any prior criminal history.
Assistant United States Attorneys Gregory C. Melucci and Brendan J. McKenna are prosecuting the case.
The investigation involved several agencies: the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General; Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office; Department of Health and Human Services-Office of Inspector General; Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation; Social Security Administration-Office of Inspector General; and U.S. Department of Labor-Office of Inspector General.
