Financial Penalties and Violations
The state of Colorado and the federal government have the legal obligation to monitor every nursing facility and impose monetary fines or deny payments through Medicare if the facility has violated established nursing home regulations and rules. In serious cases, the nursing facility will receive multiple penalties if investigators find the violations are severe and harmed or could have harmed a resident.

These penalties include a $81,415 fine on February 15, 2017, and a $63,342 fine on August 11, 2016, for a total of $144,757.

- Failure to Immediately Notify the Resident, the Resident’s Doctor or Family Members of a Change in the Resident’s Condition Including a Decline in Their Health or Injury – citation #F157 date February 15, 2017
The state investigators determined that “the facility failed to ensure your family was notified of a change in the resident’s status.” Specifically, “the facility failed to provide notification to interested family members about the worsening of the resident’s vascular ulcers, and also failed to notify the families of [two other residents] of pressure ulcer debridements.”
The state surveyors reviewed a cognitively intact resident’s Wound Physician Note indicating “numerous open areas to the resident shins and calves. The wounds were noted to be venous in nature. No concerns about potential infection were noted in the documentation.”
A Nurse’s Note dated three days later indicated that the resident “had wrapping on both legs. The skin on top of the resident’s knees was noted, and an order was present. The resident also presented with the fever, at a temperature of 101.0°F. The note did not include documentation that either of the resident sisters was notified.”
Even though the state investigators asked for the facility to provide an SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation), a communication form related to the onset symptoms of indicating potential infection to the wounds, none was provided.
A Nurse Note dated January 30, 2017, indicated “the resident presented with loose black tarry stools, which had been positive for blood. The resident was transferred to the emergency room and admitted to the hospital. The note did not include documentation that either of the resident sisters was notified of the change of condition.”
The resident’s agent under a power of attorney was interviewed and stated that the resident had a severe medical condition to both legs and had developed open wounds.” The wounds had worsened at the facility, and one had become infected, ultimately causing the hospitalization of the resident. The power of attorney indicated that “the facility had not notified her of the infection or the hospitalization.”
