  • Failure to Provide Safe and Appropriate Respiratory Care for a Resident When Needed – citation #F695 date October 4, 2018
  • According to state surveyors, “the facility failed to ensure ventilator settings were according to Physician’s orders.” The deficient practice by the nursing staff “resulted in Immediate Jeopardy when the apnea alarm was not turned on for [the resident] to alert the staff to the resident not initiating spontaneous breaths.”

    The surveyors say that “actual harm occurred when [the resident] was found unresponsive, without pulse or respiration.” This failure “affected one of two sample residents reviewed that were ventilator dependent.”

    The survey team notified the Administrator and Director of Nursing of the Immediate Jeopardy due to the resident’s apnea monitor not being set to alarm causing the staff to find the resident unresponsive. On August 25, 2018, just after noon, the resident “was found unresponsive by a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).” The LPN stated that the “apnea alarm did not sound [on that day when the resident] was found.”

    The LPN summoned and Registered Nurse (RN) who reported that the resident “was without pulse or respirations. The Director nursing stated the alarm was turned off because it kept sounding.”

  • Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation date October 4, 2018
  • The nursing home “failed to ensure residents receive adequate supervision to prevent falls.” The incident involved a severely, cognitively impaired resident who “was independent with bed mobility and to transfer.” The resident “require limited assistance of one staff to walk and supervision was set up help for locomotion on the unit.”

    The survey team reviewed the resident’s Fall Occurrences Report dated May 21, 2018. The documentation shows that “she fell in the hallway.” The resident “stated she was looking for her room. The intervention for this fall was to instruct her to use her walker.”

    Seventeen days later, on June 6, 2018, the resident “slid out of her bed onto the floor. The intervention was to discontinue the use of a perimeter mattress.” By July 28, 2018, the resident’s Fall Occurrence Report revealed that the resident “had fallen in her room.” The resident “was found lying on the floor at the foot of her bed.

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
