Fined $6,500 for substandard care
Both Arizona and the federal government can impose a monetary fine or deny payments through Medicare when a nursing facility has been found to violate established regulations and rules. The higher the monetary fine, the more serious the violation is that likely harmed or could have harmed one or more residents at the nursing home.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Coronado Healthcare Center for $6,500 on June 01, 2018, citing substandard care. The nursing home received four complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation.
Additional information concerning the facility can be reviewed on the State of Arizona Adult Protective Services Website.

The state of Arizona and federal government nursing home regulatory agencies routinely update their care home database system. This list contains historical information of all citations and violations.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, three out of five stars for staffing issues and four out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure [one resident] was free from neglect.” The investigation involved a resident who “was alert and oriented to time, place, and person and had clear speech and was able to follow simple commands.”
A review of the resident’s Interdisciplinary Team Care Plan revealed that the resident “was not feeling well and had nausea and vomiting.” The Physician’s Notes indicated that the resident “continued to be nauseated and that the resident’s heart rate was tacky at 104.”
A review of the resident’s Medication Administration Record and medication pass at 4:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 8:00 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:00 PM were marked by the day shift and second shift nurses indicating “Number 8, which is code for absent from the facility.”
The surveyors reviewed the clinical record that “did not reveal any evidence the staff attempted to locate the resident and no evidence that the Physician, family, Director of Nursing, the Executive Director, nor the police were notified that the resident did not return to the facility from the appointment.”
A review of the facility’s report indicated that the resident was transported by the transport service to her G.I. appointment at 1:30 PM that day. By 2:40 PM, the GI office called and spoke with “the Medical Records Assistant to inform the facility that they did not have the resident’s medical record. The G.I. office requested the medical records and transport service information to be faxed to their office.”
By 4:00 PM, the day shift nurse “received a phone call from the G.I. office and was told that the resident was at the wrong Physician’s office. The G.I. office also asked [the staff] to call the transportation picked the resident up.” the staff member “made to call for transport but had called the wrong transport company.”
The hospital notified the facility Executive Director that the resident had been admitted to the emergency room with a chief complaint of being found unresponsive at the Physician’s office. It was determined that the resident had oliguric kidney failure and profound dehydration.
