  • The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to conduct initial and weekly wound assessments which included measurements and descriptions of the wound bed, tunneling, or undermining, possible necrosis/infection, drainage, odor, and pain.”

    The investigation involved three residents “with pressure ulcers. No initial or weekly wound assessments were completed for [one resident’s] right heel ulcer from December 16, 2018, when it was identified until January 8, 2019, when a Quality Assurance Skin Review documented the sore.” The pressure wound measured 4.5 cm x 3.5 cm “to the resident’s right heel.” The ulcer had “purulent drainage.”

    No initial or weekly pressure ulcer assessment, “which included measurements and descriptions of the wound bed, tunneling, or undermining, possible necrosis/infection, drainage, odor, and pain were completed for [a second resident] from November 28, 2018, when a blister opened on her right heel, through her discharge from the facility of February 7, 2018.”

    Instead, the wound was discovered by Home Health Services that day. The pressure ulcer “was determined to be a Stage III pressure ulcer that measured 2.0 cm x 2.0 cm x 0.5 cm with drainage.”

    The Nursing Assistant had stated that “she just provided care to the resident and [that the] linens on the floor were the linens she had used.” A facility nurse stated that “dirty linens should be placed in a bag and thrown on the floor, [indicating that] plastic bags were always available for Nursing Assistants to put the dirty linens in.”

★★★★★
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
