These penalties are typically imposed when the violation is severe and harmed or could have harmed a resident.

According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of two out of five stars, including three out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and three out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to implement policies and procedures that prohibit neglect for [one resident] reviewed for neglect.” A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) neglected to stay with the resident “when she knew the resident wanted her to stay during toileting and needed help with toileting and ambulation.”
After the CNA left the resident alone in the bathroom, the resident “got up from the toilet, ambulated by herself and fell, resulting in fractures in her back. These failures could affect the eighteen resident who require staff supervision on the secured Memory Care Unit (MCU) by placing them at risk to experience serious adverse consequences and a decreased quality of life.”
The investigation involved a resident with impaired vision, “long and short-term memory problems, severely impaired decision-making skills, and [no behavioral issues]. She did not have any rejection of care issues [but] required extensive physical assist of one staff for bed mobility, transfers, toilet use, dressing, and personal hygiene.”
The documentation shows that the resident “was not steady, but able to stabilize with staff assistance when moving from a seated to a standing position, walking with assistive devices, turning around, moving off the toilet, and surface-to-surface transfers.”
The resident’s documentation indicates that the resident had “a fall since a prior MDS assessment that resulted in no injury.” The resident’s Care Plan revealed that the resident had fallen on April 7, 2016, June 24, 2016, and December 2016.” During the last fall, there “were no injuries [but the fall was] unwitnessed.” A fall that occurred later on April 7, 2017, “was also unwitnessed and resulted in [a fracture in the back].”
The incident report from that day reflected that the resident “was found in the floor at 1:30 PM while attempting to transfer back to bed without CNA assistance. Her mobility was assessed as ambulatory without assistance. Her pre-disposition psychological factors were confusion, gait and balance, impaired memory, recent illness, and a recent change in medications.”
