  • Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect or Theft and Report the Results of the Investigation to Proper Authorities – citation #F609 date August 28, 2018
  • The state investigative team documented that “the facility did not report allegations of possible misappropriation to the New York State Department of Health. These issues involved allegations of misappropriation of resident televisions.”

    A review of the resident’s Electrical Equipment Log revealed that one resident “had an Element TV and [another resident] had a TCL TV inspected on April 20, 2018.” However, the Missing Property Investigation documentation dated May 8, 2018, “concluded that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) reported [one resident’s] TV was missing to the Director of Maintenance who begin an investigation. It was determined that the TV was not removed for repair by maintenance and it was last seen the previous evening.”

    The facility “completed a check of the other resident rooms and found [another resident’s] TV was missing from her room. Statements from staff members included the resident’s television “was last seen around 10:00 PM on May 7, 2018.”

    The resident’s bedroom window “was found open the next morning when it is usually not. The facility cameras were reviewed. However, they were not pointed at the resident rooms, and the only staff entering it and leaving the unit and employee exits were able to be reviewed.”

  • Failure to Provide Care and Assistance to Perform Activities of Daily Living for Any Resident Who Was Unable – citation #F677 date January 19, 2018
  • The nursing home “did not provide the necessary care and services to maintain the resident’s personal hygiene. Issues involved the lack of hearing aids, clean clothes, and clean glasses [for one resident] and the lack of nail care [for that resident and another resident].”

    During an interview with the Registered Nurse Manager, it was revealed that “nail care should be done at least weekly with showers and as needed. She said that while it should be done on shower days, she could not guarantee that it was getting done.”

★★★★★
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
