Grandview Missouri Nursing Home Safety Concerns

Two Stars Rating

Your family can visit Medicare.gov and the Missouri 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 three out of five stars for quality measures.

  • Failure to Develop, Implement and Enforce Policies and Procedures That Prevent Abuse, Neglect and Mistreatment – citation #F687 date September 28, 2018
  • The state investigators determined the facility “failed to check the Nurse Aide Registry for [six] staff to ensure they did not have a Federal Indicator (a marker into a potential employee who has committed abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of property against residents).”

    Any negative return on the Registry would prohibit “them from working in a certified facility.” The six sampled residents included two Registered Nurses (RNs), a Housekeeper, two Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and a Dietary Worker all hired between June 12, 2018, and June 25, 2018.

    A review of the employee’s records and files indicated that “none of the employees were checked against the Nursing Assistant Registry to ensure they did not have a Federal Indicator prohibiting them from working in a certified facility.”

    In a separate summary statement dated August 11, 2017, the facility “failed to ensure the State agency was notified of a major injury within the mandated two-hour period.” A review of a resident’s Nursing Note revealed that the nurse was “notified at 8:05 PM, on August 3, 2017, that the resident had fallen in the bathroom.”

    As a result of the fall, the “resident was noted with a quarter-sized laceration on his/her left cheek; the resident’s Physician was notified; 911 was called, and the resident was transferred to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment.”

    At midnight, the Charge Nurse “called the emergency room and was notified that the resident had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and the Nursing Supervisor was notified of the ICU admission.”

    The Fall Investigation Summary dated August 9, 2017, revealed that the resident had fallen at 8:05 PM and that the Charge Nurse reported the incident to the House Supervisor at that time.” The documentation shows that the Director of Nursing was notified of the fall the following morning at 7:23 AM.”

    By 1:21 PM the day following the fall, the Admissions Coordinator notified the Director of Nursing “that the resident [had developed] a subdermal hematoma (a pool of blood between the brain and its outermost covering) that was evacuated (the removal of any material from the body by discharge through a natural or artificial passage).”

★★★★★
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
