It is the legal responsibility of New York and the federal government investigators to hold nursing homes accountable if they have violated rules and regulations that harmed or could have harmed a resident. These penalties include monetary fines and the denial of payment for Medicare services.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Creekview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for $6,893 on January 05, 2018, citing substandard care. During this time, Medicare denied payment on June 29, 2018, due to a lack of quality care.
This nursing facility also received thirteen complaints and self-reported fourteen serious issues over the last three years that resulted in violation citations. Additional documentation concerning penalties and fines can be reviewed on the New York State Nursing Home Report Website.
The state of New York and Medicare.com routinely update their comprehensive list of deficiencies online to reflect all 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, one out of five stars for staffing issues and two out of five stars for quality measures.
According to state investigators, “it was determined that for [one resident] reviewed for abuse, and [one resident] reviewed for accidents, the facility did not report allegations of possible abuse, neglect or mistreatment to the New York State Department of Health. The issues involved allegations of misappropriations of funds for [one resident], and verbally and physically rough treatment.”
The incident involved a cognitively intact resident whose Complaint/Recommendation Form revealed that the resident “reported that a staff member made unauthorized charges on his bank card. The police were notified, and the bank card was canceled. There was no documentation that any staff was interviewed, there was no police report obtained until after surveyor intervention, and the incident was not reported to the New York State Department of Health” as required by law.
The investigators interviewed the resident who said “his bank called him on October 10, 2017 and asked if he was aware of a transaction of $430. The resident said he was not, and he did not make that transaction. He said he gave his bank card to a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) to get him a soda from the soda machine, and she bought four and gave him one.”
The resident said that the “police were called, and he has not heard from the police or the facility since.” The facility Social Worker indicated during an investigation that “the resident described the CNA who he said he gave his bank card to, and the facility identified the employee.”
The Social Worker indicated that “the staff member was called and asked to come in and write a statement, but she never did, and she did not return to work. The Social Worker stated that the facility should have notified the New York State Department of Health because it was abuse.”
The Director of Nursing stated during an interview that “misappropriation of funds was directed to the Social Worker to start an investigation. She said if it was found to be at the hands of staff in the facility, it was to be reported to the New York State Department of Health. The Director said that she was not working at the facility at the time, but she would expect the incident to be more thoroughly investigated, a police report obtained, and the incident reported” to the proper authorities.
