  • Failure to Immediately Notify the Resident, the Resident’s Doctor or Family Members of a Change in the Resident’s Condition Including a Decline in Their Health or Injury – citation date March 7, 2018
  • According to surveyors, the facility failed to “notify the Physician of a change in condition and the need to alter treatment” for five residents. In one case, the resident sustained a fall “which resulted in a laceration above the left side and a subdermal hematoma. However, the facility failed to notify [the resident’s] Physician of the fall or injury.”

    In a second incident, another resident “was assessed by staff to have low blood pressure, pale skin, and labored breathing at approximately 3:45 PM. Subsequently, [the resident] expired at the hospital” after being transferred. The surveyors interviewed the resident’s Physician who revealed that the facility “failed to notify him that [the deceased resident] had fallen, had a change in condition” and that “the Physician was never notified of the resident’s death.”

However, the facility failed to continue to assess the resident and provide basic life support and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if needed. Further, the facility failed to activate emergency medical services until fifty-three minutes after the resident’s decline. When EMS arrived, [the resident] had no pulse and was not breathing and expired at the hospital.”

    The facility’s failure “to ensure residents receive basic life support has caused or is likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident.” The investigators initiated an Immediate Jeopardy after identification over an incident that could harm others in 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
