The state of Indiana and the federal government have a legal responsibility for monitoring every nursing home. These agencies have the authority to impose monetary penalties or hold payment from Medicare if the nursing facility has violated rules and regulations. Typically, the more serious the violation, the higher the monetary fines, especially if neglect or abuse caused harm or could have caused harm to a resident.
Within the last three years, federal investigators imposed a monetary fine against Transcendent Healthcare of Boonville - North for $2,511 on September 06, 2016, citing substandard care.
The nursing home also received eighteen complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation. Additional documentation concerning penalties and fines can be reviewed on the Indiana Nursing Home Report Cards Website.
To ensure families are fully informed of the level of care every nursing home provides, the state of Indiana and Medicare.com routinely update their long-term care home database systems with info on violations, citations, and deficiencies.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, two out of five stars for staffing issues and three out of five stars for quality measures.
According to investigators, “the facility failed to ensure allegations of verbal and physical abuse were reported immediately to the Administrator.”
The facility administration asked the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) “to clock out and go home on July 14, 2018, after an episode of the alleged abuse.” The resident “was “heard to be making repeated verbalizations when [the CNA] approached her and covered the resident’s mouth with her hand.”
Documentation shows that the CNA told the resident to “shut the f--k up.” The Assistant Director of Nursing “was immediately notified of the abuse allegations.” Another staff member stated during the investigation that they heard the CNA “was verbally abusive toward the resident [saying] ‘I heard the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) [had] told the Assistant Director of Nursing, and maybe the Director of Nursing, but nothing was done. I am unsure if the Administrator knew about it.’”
A third staff member stated during the investigation that they heard the CNA “was fired for abuse. It is just hearsay. I am not sure what she did.” The Director of Nursing stated on the evening of August 14, 2018, that “she was unaware of any alleged abuse for the past three months. She was unaware a CNA was sent home due to the alleged abuse.” The Director indicated that “she was unaware a CNA was sent home due to the alleged abuse.”
A few minutes later, the Assistant Director of Nursing stated that “she was unaware of any alleged abuse for the past three months [indicating that] she was unaware the CNA was sent home due to the alleged abuse.”
The following morning at 10:15 AM, the Director of Nursing indicated that the allegedly abusive CNA was still an employee at the facility.” The Administrator stated a few minutes later that “she was unaware of any alleged abuse for the past three months [and that] she had not been informed any staff members had been sent home for alleged abuse.”
The Administrator indicated that “she would immediately send a report to the Indiana State Department of Health and begin an investigation.”
