These agencies have the authority to impose monetary penalties or hold payment from Medicare if the nursing facility has violated rules and regulations. Typically, the more serious the violation, the higher the monetary fines, especially if neglect or abuse caused harm or could have caused harm to a resident.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Oak Grove Center Nursing Home for $5,489 on March 15, 2018, citing substandard care.

- Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation #F689 date June 4, 2018
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to adequately secure the employee exit door between April 6, 2018, through April 10, 2018, in the resident’s environment.” The incident involved one resident reviewed “with a history of elopement [wandering away] risk. This failure resulted in a resident eloping on April 9, 2018, through the employee exited door into the employee parking lot.”
A review of the resident’s medical records indicated that they had been admitted to the Jewett Unit. On April 2, 2018, “a wander guard was placed on the resident due to exit-seeking behaviors.”
A Nursing Note dated four days later indicated that “Per the evening shift nurse, [they were] concerned that the wander guard sensor to the back employee door is functioning properly and wanted maintenance to check it out.”
Four days later, on April 10, 2016, at 10:36 AM, “the Division of Licensing and Certification received a facility Reportable Incident Form indicating that [the day before at 9:30 AM], the resident eloped and was observed in the parking lot.”
The facility investigation indicated that “the employee exit door was found to be not functioning correctly with the wander guard system and was repaired on April 10, 2018, by the door company.” The surveyors interviewed the Maintenance Supervisor, who indicated that they “cannot remember when [they were] notified that the employee exit door not functioning properly.”
The Director of Nursing stated during an interview that they were “unable to provide evidence that the system was in place to appropriately secure the employee exit door from when the facility was made aware that the door [was not functioning] on April 6, 2018, until the door was fixed on April 10, 2018.”
