    >Failure to Develop, Implement and Enforce Policies That Prevent Mistreatment, Neglect or Abuse of Residents – citation #F226 date December 28, 2017

    The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to follow its own policy and procedure to report the results of the facility’s abuse investigation to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) within five working days of the reported incident.” The deficient practice “had the potential to result in an incomplete investigation of the potential for further unreported abuse allegations.”

    The state investigators interviewed the resident who said that “a staff member did not want me to use the call light and grabbed my hand.” The resident stated, “the staff member had caused a bruise to her left forearm.”

    A review of the resident’s SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) Communication Form documented that the resident had stated to the Supervisor from Dietary that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) “grabbed her left arm and caused bruising about three weeks ago.”

    The Facility Administrator in Training stated that she started an investigation “and was waiting for corporate to fax over the completed investigation report.” The Administrator “did not provide evidence of the completed investigation report.”

  • Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F689 date May 29, 2018
  • The facility “failed to properly secure [a resident for transportation], which resulted in a fall with injury.” The facility Administrator stated that the resident “slid out of his wheelchair in the transport van on his way to [dialysis treatment]. The Administrator stated [the resident] was taken to the hospital, complaining of knee pain after the fall.”

    The investigators interviewed the resident who stated: “he remembered falling in the van and stated he was not strapped in.” The Hospital Clinical Record indicated that the resident had “complained of injury to the left knee and that the patient was being transferred out of the [medical van] when he slid down, and his left leg was under him, and he was complaining of knee pain.”

    The Transport Van Driver stated that they had picked up the resident “and went to push him onto the wheelchair lift, and his body began to slip out of the wheelchair and his leg when into an awkward position.” There was a body lift swing under his body “that was not properly fitted around them, which made it slippery, causing him to slip out of the 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
