Pompano Beach Florida Nursing Home Safety Concerns

One Star Rating

The state of Florida and the federal government regularly updates its long-term care home database system with complete details of all deficiencies, citations, and violations.

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

  • Failure to Provide Residents Proper Treatment to Prevent the Development of New Bedsores or Allow Existing Pressure Wound to Heal – citation #F314 date October 6, 2017
  • The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to ensure appropriate care and services were provided to prevent the development of a pressure ulcer for [one resident] reviewed for pressure ulcers.”

    The state investigative team reviewed the facility’s Clinical Guidelines on treating wounds and skin issues. The overview indicated “to provide a system for identifying skin at risk, implementing individual interventions including evaluation of monitoring as indicated to promote skin health, healing, and decrease worsening of/prevention of pressure injury.”

    A review of a resident’s medical records indicated that the patient had “developed a pressure ulcer on the right buttock while in the facility. The resident’s admission assessment indicated the resident was independent for bed mobility, ambulates with a walker, and uses a chair cushion.”

    The Director of Nursing stated that the wound was identified on the day of discharge. The Director stated that “she wanted to keep the resident in the facility another few days to have the Wound Specialist evaluate and treat the wound, but the granddaughter refused and wanted to take her home.”

    The Director stated that “possibly the resident did not want the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) to clean under her breasts and her bottom and will look for CNA nursing documentation to that fact.” However, a skin evaluation done on the day of her discharge revealed that the resident had a Stage II pressure ulcer with no drainage measuring 1.1 cm x 1.1 cm.

  • Failure to Ensure the Residents with Reduced Range of Motion Get Proper Treatment and Services to Increase the Range of Motion – citation #F318 date October 6, 2017
  • The nursing home “failed to properly assess [one resident] reviewed for a range of motion.” This deficient practice was evidenced by the facility’s failure “to address a splint use for [a resident] who was observed with a left-hand contracture.”

    The state surveyors observed the resident “in bed in his room [with] a severe left-hand contracture with the palm of the left-hand bent down to his left inner wrists.” The surveyors asked the resident, “if he wore a splint on his left hand.” The resident responded that “he did not think so.” The surveyors “did not observe any splint device in plain view of the resident’s room.”

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
