  • Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect or Theft and Report the Results of the Investigation to Proper Authorities – citation #F609 date June 27, 2019
  • The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to ensure the allegation was reported immediately to the Administrator or designee.” A Nurse’s Note dated May 18, 2019, indicated that the resident “was lethargic in the morning but able to eat a honey bun and two cups of apple juice.”

    The note identified the resident “was awakened by staff at lunchtime, however, refused to have lunch.” The note indicated that the “Charge Nurse attempted to feed [the resident] during lunch. However, the resident refused and punched the Nurse in the abdomen while swearing at the Charge Nurse.” The nursing staff transferred the resident to the hospital “for a change in condition.”

    The Reportable Event Form of the next day indicated the resident had “called from the hospital and reported to the Administrator that a staff member hit him/her at the time, when the resident was unable to defend him/herself. The investigation identified the incident had occurred on May 18, 2019, during the 7:00 AM through 3:00 PM shift.”

  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse Including Physical and Sexual Assault, Physical Punishment, and Neglect by Anybody – citation #F600 date March 27, 2019
  • The nursing home “failed to ensure the resident was free from verbal or mental abuse.” The resident’s Care Plan identified the resident as having “depression related to dementia.”

    The Reportable Event Form dated January 27, 2019, indicated that the resident “had approached a Nurse Aide who was sitting behind the nursing station desk. The resident said something to the Nurse Aide, and at the time the Aide stood up, told the resident ‘I am going to f--- you up’ and the Nurse Aide then left the building.”

    The Charge Nurse, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) working the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift indicated that the resident “was looking through the trash can for an envelope with three dollars.” The resident went behind the nursing station, and the Nurse Aide stood up, “pointed a water bottle at the resident and told the resident, ‘I am going to f--- you up.’”

★★★★★
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
