Jacksonville Florida Nursing Home Safety Concerns

One Star Rating

The state of Florida and Medicare.com routinely update their comprehensive list of deficiencies online to reflect all violations

According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, three out of five stars for staffing issues, and one out of five stars for quality measures.

  • Failure to Make Sure Services Provided by the Nursing Facility Meet Professional Standards of Quality – citation #F281 date May 5, 2016
  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to follow accepted standards of nursing practice regarding care for [one resident] and documentation of vital signs for [another resident].” This failure “exposed the resident’s potential clinical complications.”

    The state investigators reviewed a resident’s Admission Care Plan and medical records. The surveyors say that “for the check of fistula/bruit/thrill, there were no initials that it was checked on the 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift” on numerous occasions between April 21, 2016, and April 30, 2016.

    The surveyors indicated that “for the removal of the dressing from [the resident’s] fistula, there were no initials to indicate that the dressing had ever been removed as it was prescribed for hours after her return from [medical treatment].”

  • Failure to Provide Necessary Care and Services to Maintain the Resident’s Highest Well-Being – citation #F309 date May 5, 2016
  • The facility “failed to provide necessary care and services for [one resident] and document vital signs for [another resident]. Lack of monitoring and assessment can cause worsening of the condition and health complications.” In one case, a review of the resident’s Nurse’s Notes from February 2, 2016, to February 12, 2016, showed that the resident, on February 3, 2016, was receiving 2.08 L of oxygen.

    However, the nursing staff failed to obtain or record vital signs, but the resident “continued to have 2.0 L of oxygen via nasal cannula.” Documents four days later, on February 7, 2016, noted that “[the resident] had a cough but continued to have oxygen at 2.0 L per minute.” Two days later, on February 9, 2016, the coughing continued, “but there was no documentation of vital signs for the 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM or 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shifts.”

    By February 11, 2016, during the 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM shift, the resident “complained of feeling unwell, and continued to have oxygen at 2.0 L per minute.”

    Later that day, the resident was found “drooling and unresponsive with no palpable pulse.” The investigators look for a SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) guide sheet that would have directed the nursing staff to check “respiration, finger stick for diabetic residents, blood pressure, apical heart rate, and oxygen saturation. These were not done at the time but were conducted when the paramedics were on the scene at 1:30 AM.”

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
