Financial Penalties and Violations

Typically, these violations result in penalties when investigators found severe problems that harmed or could have harmed a resident.

Within the last three years, investigators imposed two monetary penalties against Mayers Memorial Hospital, citing substandard care. These penalties include a $60,561 fine on February 01, 2018, and a $73,080 fine on October 09, 2017, for a total of $133,641.

  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date April 17, 2018
  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure [one resident] was protected from verbal, physical, and mental abuse by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on October 25, 2017. This [failure] had the potential to negatively impact [the resident’s] emotional and psychological health and lead to potential negative, clinical outcomes.”

    A review of the severely cognitively impaired resident’s MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment indicated that “she was independent with activities of daily living with set up assistance and had physical behavioral symptoms [involving] hitting, biting, and scratching and the rejection of care.” A review of the resident’s Care Plan dated August 22, 2017 indicated that the resident “had behavioral problems with episodes of hitting staff and threatening other residents. The Care Plan instructed the staff to minimize disruptive behaviors by offering tasks which divert attention.”

    A Progress Note dated October 25, 2017, at 4:45 AM documented by a Licensed Nurse noted that a Certified Nursing Assistant reported that another CNA grabbed the resident “around the neck because the resident was being combative. The Progress Note indicated that [the aggressive CNA] told the resident ‘if you hit me, it will be the last thing you do.’”

    The investigative team interviewed the Licensed Nurse who stated that the reporting CNA had described the aggressive CNA’s actions immediately but said it was the end of the shift and the aggressive CNA “left immediately and [the nurse] was unable to speak to her about the allegation.”

    The reporting CNA stated that they told the aggressive Certified Nursing Assistant to let go of the resident, saying, “we are done here, get out.” The CNA then “left the room and then left the facility.”

★★★★★
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
