Financial Penalties and Violations

State and federal investigators have the legal authority to penalize any nursing home cited for serious violations of regulations and rules. These penalties include levying monetary fines and denying payment of Medicare services. Typically, these violations result in penalties when investigators found severe problems that harmed or could have harmed a resident.

Medicare has cited this facility for abuse. Medicare says that “every nursing home resident deserves to retain their basic human dignity and be treated with respect at all times. Abuse and neglect are never acceptable.” Nursing homes “cited for abuse are required to take steps to protect their residents.”

Within the last thirty-six months, investigators imposed four monetary penalties against Medical Hill Healthcare Center, citing substandard care. These penalties include a $29,998 fine on October 16, 2018, a $25,620 fine on September 20, 2017, a $17,843 fine on June 07, 2017, and a $3,097 fine on March 28, 2017, for a total of $76,558.

  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date October 16, 2018
  • The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to protect [one resident] from physical abuse when [a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) used the resident’s reacher] (a metal rod with the handle at one end and prongs that open to grab objects on the other) to hit her. This deficient practice resulted in [the resident] obtaining bruises on her body and feeling scared in her living environment.”

    The state investigators interviewed the resident who said she was in bed when the CNA “came into her room and took cookies from her bedside table, even though [the resident] told her not to take them.” The resident stated that “she grabbed her reacher and hit the CNA’s arm.” The resident said that the CNA “grabbed the reacher from [her] and hit her 2 to 3 times on her right leg and left arm.” The resident stated that “she felt pain.” The investigators further noted that the resident said that “she felt scared and nervous being in the facility after [the abusive CNA] hit her because something might happen to her.”

    The investigators interviewed another CNA who stated that “she had gone into the resident’s room to ask for some cookies to give [another] resident since the kitchen was closed.” The resident responded, “no to the request to share her cookies with the other resident.” At that time, the allegedly abusive CNA entered the resident’s room, “reached over and grabbed some cookies off the resident’s bedside table” and used the reacher to hit the resident.

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
