These penalties often include monetary fines and denying payment of Medicare services.

Medicare has cited this facility for abuse. Medicare says that “every nursing home resident deserves to retain their basic human dignity and be treated with respect at all times. Abuse and neglect are never acceptable.” Nursing homes “cited for abuse are required to take steps to protect their residents.”

  • Failure to Keep Every Resident Free from Physical Restraints Unless Need for Medical Treatment – citation #F221 date November 16, 2016
  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home failed to ensure three residents “remained free from physical restraints for the purposes of staff convenience when [a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)] used a bed sheet to restrain [the resident] to his bed.” The facility also failed when “nursing staff applied a self-releasing seatbelt (a seatbelt with the buckle) to the resident while in the wheelchair without ensuring a physical restraint assessment was done to evaluate if less restrictive measures were unsuccessful.”

    The facility also failed when “nursing staff applied a lap buddy (a snug cushion applied to the lap of the resident in a wheelchair to prevent the resident from getting up) to [another resident] while up in a wheelchair without ensuring a physical restraint assessment was done to evaluate if less restrictive measures were unsuccessful.” These “failures infringed upon the rights of [three residents] to be free from physical restraints and had the potential to cause physical and psychosocial harm.”

  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date June 12, 2018
  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure the right to be free from abuse [for one resident] when a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) slapped the resident on the back of the head. This failure placed [the resident] at risk for increased anxiety, fear, and mental anguish due to the physical assault by the facility caregiver.” The investigation involved a resident with severe cognitive impairment.

    The facility Director of Nursing stated that at 1:45 PM on March 5, 2018, “the facility Cook reported she witnessed [the CNA] slap the resident on the back of the head with a hard slap. The Director stated the Cook reported the incident” between the CNA and the resident had occurred that morning at 5:20 AM when the resident “refused to leave the dining room.” The Director stated that the facility had recorded a video showing the CNA hitting the resident on the back of the head.

★★★★★
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
