  • Failure to Immediately Notify the Resident’s Doctor or Responsible Party of a Decline in the Resident’s Condition – citation #F580 date May 1, 2018
  • According to investigators, “the facility failed to ensure the Physician was notified for a change in condition with the resident.” The surveyors reviewed the resident’s medical record and MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment that revealed the resident suffered from numerous major medical conditions, had a “small single mass in the lungs and shortness of breath.

    The resident’s Nurses Note indicated that in the morning, the resident had a blood sugar level of fifty-two and was given juice and pudding. Two hours later, the resident’s blood sugar level had risen to ninty-eight although the resident “was lethargic.” The resident refused to eat, and the State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) had gotten the resident up for approximately 1.5 hours.”

    The note indicated that the nursing staff “called the resident son to give him a report and the [resident’s] son was concerned about fluid built up in the lungs.” The nursing note indicated that the staff members “would continue to monitor” the resident’s condition. The surveyors say that while there was documentation that the nursing staff had communicated with the resident son, there was no of documentation that the Physician had been notified of the resident complaining of shortness of breath.

  • Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation date May 1, 2018
  • The nursing home “failed to ensure fall interventions were in place for [two residents].” The surveyors reviewed the resident’s Fall Care Plan that revealed the nursing staff was to “ensure a fall mat was on the floor” when the resident was in bed and in front of the resident’s recliner or wheelchair with the resident was sitting up.”

    However, the surveyors observed a State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) taking the resident “back to her room and placing her in the recliner.” At that time, the surveyors did not observe the fall mat in place in front of the recliner but was instead seen laying up next to the resident’s bed. The Nursing Assistant verified that the fall mat was to be in place in front of the recliner. This investigation discovered an incidental deficiency that violated Complaint Number OH 427.

★★★★★
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
