No. 91-2517.

606 So.2d 422 (1992)

JACKSON MANOR NURSING HOME and Fireman's Fund Insurance, Appellants, v. Anita ORTIZ, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

September 4, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Donald F. Harrington, Miami, and Edward W. Levine of Marlow, Connell, Valerius, Abrams, Lowe & Adler, Miami, for appellants.

Mark L. Zientz of Williams & Zientz, Miami, for appellee.


KAHN, Judge.

Jackson Manor Nursing Home and Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, as employer/carrier, appeal a workers' compensation order requiring them to provide claimant Anita Ortiz with attendant care.

We reverse the order of the judge of compensation claims (JCC) because the record before us lacks competent substantial evidence of medical need for attendant care as required by section 440.13(2)(a), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1988).
