  • Failure to Ensure the Nursing Home Area Remained Free of Accident Hazards and Risks and Provides Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F323 date September 9, 2016
  • The state investigators determined that “the facility failed to ensure a laundry chute was locked at all times, on the dementia units (400 and 500 hallways). There were thirty-six residents identified as residing on the dementia unit.”

    The state surveyors observed the facility Laundry Chute located in the corner on the 500 Hallway on the morning of September 9, 2016.” The “door was opened with pushing a button, and the observation revealed being able to see the lower level. The height and location of the chute could potentially pose a danger to the confused residents residing on the dementia units (400 and 500 Halls).”

    The investigators interviewed the Director of Nursing who confirmed “the laundry chute on the 500 Hall corridor was unlocked. The chute was opened to the basement and was observed with the bottom coming up approximately three feet off the floor.”

    The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that “the facility had no current policy for the laundry chute.”

  • Failure to Report and Investigate Any Act or Reports of Abuse, Neglect or Mistreatment of Residents – citation #F225 date June 8, 2017
  • The facility “failed to ensure [a resident’s] privacy was maintained while the staff assisted the resident with toileting. This finding affected [one resident] reviewed for privacy concerns.”

    A review of the resident’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment indicated that the resident “exhibited memory problems and required limited one-person physical assistance for toileting.” Observations were made of a State-tested Nursing Assistant who revealed that the Assistant helped the resident “from the resident’s bed (closest to the hallway) to the bathroom, opened the bathroom door, assisted the resident into the bathroom, pulled the resident’s pants down and assisted the resident to sit down on the high-rise toilet seat.”

    However, the State-tested Nursing Assistant “did not close the bathroom door while the resident was in the bathroom. The resident’s roommate was lying in bed and observed a resident using the toilet.” Specifically, the resident “was not provided privacy while in the bathroom.”

    The nursing home failed to follow its Dignity Policy dated June 17, 2008. The policy revealed that “all residents were to be treated in a manner and in an environment that maintains and enhances each resident’s dignity and respect in full recognition of his or her individuality, including assisting residents needing daily care in a dignified manner such as ensuring residents were not exposed.”

★★★★★
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
