  • Failure to Ensure That Every Resident Is Free from the Use of Physical Restraints Unless Need for Medical Treatment – citation #F604 date February 11, 2019
  • The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to ensure [one resident] with restraints had a specific medical symptom for the use of a non-self-release waist belt while in a wheelchair.” The investigative team reviewed the resident’s Physician’s orders that revealed a non-release seatbelt [is to be used when the resident] was up in a wheelchair for safety due to getting up unassisted with poor safety awareness.”

    The Physician’s order also stated, “hold non-release seatbelt when up in the wheelchair for trial reduction until February 2, 2019.” The resident was observed on February 8, 2019, with “a non-self-release waist belt tied to the back of a wheelchair while in the activity room.”

    The state investigators interviewed the MDS (Minimum Data Set) Coordinator on February 8, 2019, and had the Coordinator review the resident’s records. The Coordinator stated “there was no documented evidence of [the resident’s] physical restraints trial reduction of monitoring to justify [the resident having] a specific medical symptom for the continuous use of the non-self-release waist belt when sitting in the wheelchair.”

    The coordinator stated that the medical record of the resident “did not contain information that the physical restraint assessment of the events leading up to the application of the non-self-release waist belt was done and all possible alternatives were attempted before the Physician’s orders [were implemented].”

  • Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date February 11, 2019
  • The facility “failed to provide treatment and services to promote healing of pressure ulcers for [two residents] with pressure ulcers.” In one case, the facility “failed to ensure the resident did not lie on his back directly on the pressure ulcer and failed to reposition [the resident] every two hours in bed. This [failure] had the potential for [the resident] to have further skin breakdown, delayed wound healing, and worsening of an existing pressure ulcer.”

    For the other resident, “the facility failed to accurately assess, provide necessary interventions, and document the progression of [the resident’s] pressure injuries on his sacrum and right elbow.”

★★★★★
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
