Milwaukee Wisconsin Nursing Home Safety Concerns

One Star Rating

Your family can visit Medicare.gov and the Wisconsin Department of Public Health website to obtain a complete list of all violations, citations, and deficiencies identified by investigators and surveyors.

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 two out of five stars for quality measures.

  • Failure to Notify the Resident’s Doctor or Responsible Party of a Decline in the Resident’s Health – citation #F580 date March 29, 2018
  • According to state surveyors, “the facility did not ensure nursing staff notified the Physician with a significant change of condition.” One resident “experienced a change of condition on September 13, 2017, which include poor appetite and fluid intake, a drop in blood oxygen saturation levels to 78%, and a temperature elevation.”

    The “facility’s failure to ensure nurses immediately notified the Physician of a significant change in condition created a situation of Immediate Jeopardy.”

  • Failure to Provide and Implement an Infection Protection and Control Program – citation date March 29, 2018
  • The nursing home “did not maintain an infection prevention and control program to prevent the transmission of infection by ensuring appropriate handwashing during wound treatments.” The state survey team observed a Wound Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) performing treatments.

    It was documented that even though the LPN “removed gloves and washed hands at all appropriate times during the dressing change, [the LPN] only washed her hands for three to four seconds” in violation of the facility policy and nursing home regulations that control the spread of infection.

  • Failure to Provide Doctor’s Orders for a Resident’s Immediate Care at the Time the Resident Was Admitted – citation #F635 date August 21, 2018
  • The nursing home “did not ensure that [one] respite resident had a Physician’s orders.” The resident “arrived at the facility and remained without admitting Physician’s orders.” There “were no orders directing her dietary needs, medication or functional abilities.”

    The complaint filed with the state agency alleged that “the resident did not receive any medication during the [respite] stay.” This failure was confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator who concluded during their own investigation that “the allegation was true.”

  • Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date August 21, 2018
  • The facility “did not provide the necessary care and services to [one resident] with pressure injuries.” It was determined that the resident “had an unstageable pressure injury on the sacrum (bottom).” The resident “did not have a pressure relief cushion in his wheelchair in accordance with his care plan.”

    The surveyors observed the resident for over three hours between 9:17 AM until 12:28 PM on August 20, 2018. During that time, “the resident did not have a cushion in his wheelchair.” Again, at 9:17 AM, the resident “was seated in his Broda chair in the third-floor lounge area. There was no pressure relief cushion in his wheelchair.”

Client Reviews

★★★★★
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
