Louisburg North Carolina Nursing Home Safety Concerns

One Star Rating

The state of North Carolina and Medicare.com routinely update their comprehensive list of deficiencies online to reflect all violations

According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues, and one out of five stars for quality measures.

  • Failure to Keep Every Resident Free from Physical Restraints Unless Need for Medical Treatment – citation #F221 date February 15, 2017
  • The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to keep a resident free from physical restraints and did not identify [a] medical symptom that was being treated with the use of restraints.”

    Surveyors also determined that “the facility failed to evaluate the need for a side rail for the bed that restricted the resident’s movements.” The resident’s “arm was trapped between the side rail and the mattress of the bed.”

    The survey team determined that an Immediate Jeopardy situation began on February 8, 2018, “with the entrapment of the arm of [the resident] between the side rail and the mattress of the bed.” The investigation involved a resident with “no problem behaviors” who was “dependent on staff for transfers, required the assistance of two persons for ambulation, and was dependent on staff for locomotion in a wheelchair.”

    A Resident Incident Report, completed by a nurse, revealed “that the resident was noted with the left arm between the side rail and the bed. The report noted the arm was removed from the area, and the only abnormality noted of the arm was red discoloration. The report did not provide a specific location of the area of red discoloration on the arm.”

  • Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect or Theft and Report the Results of the Investigation to Proper Authorities – citation #F609 date April 18, 2019
  • The “facility failed to submit a twenty-four-hour and five-day report to the State Survey Agency for an injury of unknown origin.” A Nursing Note, dated April 6, 2019, documented that the resident’s responsible party “called the facility to request that [the resident] be sent out to the emergency room, due to complaints of left-sided pain.”

    A review of the Hospital Radiology Report, from the same day that afternoon, revealed that there “was a non-displaced fracture involving the left distal #9 rib.” However, there was “ no documentation to indicate that the State Agency had been notified,” as required by law.

★★★★★
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
