Financial Penalties and Violations
Both New York and the federal government can impose a monetary fine or deny payments through Medicare when a nursing facility has been found to violate established regulations and rules. The higher the monetary fine, the more serious the violation is that likely harmed or could have harmed one or more residents at the nursing home.
The nursing home received fourteen complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation. Additional documentation about fines and penalties can be found on the New York State Nursing Home Report Website.

- Failure to Immediately Notify the Resident, the Resident’s Doctor or Family Members of a Change in the Resident’s Condition Including a Decline in Their Health or Injury – citation date July 13, 2017
The state investigators determined that “the facility did not ensure that the designated representative for [one resident] reviewed for notification of change was promptly informed of an accident in a timely manner.” Specifically, the severely, cognitively impaired resident’s representative “was not informed timely of a fall with an injury resulting in a hospital transfer.”
A review of the Incident/Accident Report revealed that “the resident was found on the floor with a bump on the left forehead and limited mobility to the left arm. The report revealed that the Nurse Practitioner was notified [at 4:30 AM], and the resident was to be sent to the hospital emergency room for questionable shoulder dislocation versus fracture.”
A Progress Note documented by a Registered Nurse (RN) revealed that “the resident was observed by staff on the floor 4:25 AM. The RN documented that the resident was unable to use his left arm, and the Nurse Practitioner was notified.” The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) documented that they had called the ambulance and notified the hospital that the resident was being transferred.
The Incident/Accident Report “revealed that the responsible party was notified [on that day] at 12:15 PM.” However, “the Director of Nursing stated that the family should be notified when a resident is transferred to the hospital” and not eight hours later. The Director stated that “every attempt should be made to notify the family [before] the resident’s transfer to the hospital. However, if that is not possible due to the situation, the family should be notified within the hour, and the notification should be documented in the Progress Notes.”
The actions by the nursing staff were not timely and failed to follow the facility’s policy that directs that “the facility shall promptly notify the resident, his or her Physician, and representative of changes in the resident’s medical/mental condition or status.”
