  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date November 16, 2018
  • The investigators determined the nursing home "neglected to assess and maintain a clean, covered wound.” The nursing home “neglected to implement effective interventions to prevent a resident from picking at the wound, to prevent maggot infestation.” The investigation involved a resident reviewed “with having maggots in a wound.”

    Additionally, “the facility neglected to provide [physician] ordered systems and equipment for [another resident] reviewed for assistive devices.” The survey determined “an Immediate Jeopardy [that] began on October 30, 2018, when maggots were found in the resident’s wound, above his ear.”

    A review of the resident’s Skin Assessment revealed that the patient “had an open area/blister to the left side of the head.” The Physician had ordered that the nursing staff use “a non-adhesive dressing applied to the wound over his left ear every three days.” The survey team observed the resident “picking up the area above the left ear, [with] blood noted dripping down the side of his head.” Three days later, “the dressing to the left ear was not present and a new one was applied.”

  • Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F689 date December 14, 2017
  • The “facility failed to provide the assistance of two-person staff for transfers, which resulted in a fall without injury.” The resident’s most recent risk assessment indicated that the resident “was at risk for falls.”

    The resident’s Nursing Note revealed that a Nurse Aide notified the Nurse that the resident “had fallen in the shower, when transferring from the shower chair to his wheelchair. Both the wheelchair and the shower chair were locked and in an appropriate position.” The resident “attempted to lift himself out of the shower chair and fell.” The Nursing Aide indicated that the resident “did not hit his head, and she was standing by for supervision when the fall occurred.”

Client Reviews

★★★★★
Jonathan did a great job helping my family navigate through a lengthy lawsuit involving my grandmother's death in a nursing home. Through every step of the case, Jonathan kept my family informed of the progression of the case. Although our case eventually settled at a mediation, I really was impressed at how well prepared Jonathan was to take the case to trial. Lisa

After I read Jonathan’s Nursing Home Blog, I decided to hire him to look into my wife’s treatment at a local nursing home. Jonathan did a great job explaining the process and the laws that apply to nursing homes. I immediately felt at ease and was glad to have him on my side. Though the lawsuit process was at times frustrating, Jonathan reassured me, particularly at my deposition. I really felt like Jonathan cared about my wife’s best interests, and I think that came across to the lawyers for the nursing home. Eric
