  • Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse, Physical Punishment, and Being Separated from Others – citation #F223 date March 23, 2017
  • According to state investigators, “it was determined the facility failed to ensure residents were free from mental abuse.” A resident “had been video-recorded with a cell phone, by a dietary staff member while the dietary staff member was addressing the resident using foul language.”

    The “video is then posted to a social media website.” This failure “had the potential to affect all forty-five residents who resided in the facility.” The facility’s cell phone policy indicates that Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Certified Medication Aides are not allowed to use a cell phone for any reason while clocked in.” The nursing staff can keep the cell phone on silent in their pocket “for emergency reasons only.”

    The survey team reviewed a Quarterly Assessment and Incident Form that documented that the moderately, cognitively impaired resident was involved in an incident documented “as an allegation of abuse/mistreatment. The reporting party was documented as the Director of Nursing.”

    The Administrator and the Director of Nursing were informed that a video existed and was posted live on social media by a Dietary Aide. The video captured an image of the resident “standing in the kitchen door asking what was for lunch.”

    One Dietary Aide stated that another Dietary Aide and a Cook were involved in a verbal altercation. The nursing staff notified the resident’s mother, Physician, and the Sand Springs Police Department and Adult Protective Services. The video was removed from social media and a report taken by a police officer.

    The Cook who witnessed the event was terminated from employment for “a failure to report the abuse to the administrator, the Director of Nursing and her immediate supervisor and for violation of Sand Springs Nursing and Rehab Social Media Policy.” The two other Dietary Aides that were involved in the incident received messages to call the Administrator. However, “both refused to come into the facility to speak with the administration. The aggressive Dietary Aide was “informed that she was terminated from employment due to verbal abuse toward [the resident].”

★★★★★
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
