Financial Penalties and Violations
Indiana and the federal government have a legal responsibility of monitoring every nursing home in the state. 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 Valley View Healthcare Center for $13,845 on January 10, 2017, citing substandard care. The nursing home also received eighteen complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation.

- Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect or Theft and Report the Results of the Investigation to Proper Authorities – citation date April 20, 2018
According to investigators, “the facility failed to ensure an allegation of abuse was reported timely.” A Social Services Director stated during an interview that an impromptu meeting was conducted with the resident, the activity Director and another Social Worker.
The Director indicated that the meeting was about the “resident’s stay at the facility and discharge plans.” The Director “indicated she had discussed alternative placement with [the resident] as he had been inappropriate with staff and verbalized some displeasure with the service tendered at the facility.”
The Director indicated that “the more she tried to explain herself to [the resident], the more upset the resident became and it became apparent to the Social Service Director that she was no longer appropriate to care for his social service needs and switch his care to her colleague.” Later, while conducting an abuse in-service, the Social Services Director had asked the Medical Records Director to interview [the resident] as part of the in-service.”
During an interview with the Medical Records Director, the resident “had answered the questions and made an allegation of verbal abuse toward the Social Services Director.” The Medical Records Director then went to the Administrator and filed the report of an allegation based on the answers the resident had provided.
The survey team then interviewed the Executive Director who indicated that “he did not recall being notified of an allegation of abuse regarding the Social Services Director.” The Executive Director “indicated he did not recall being given a paper with an allegation of abuse on it from the Social Services Director.”
The investigators determined that the nursing home failed to respond properly to all alleged violations which violated the facility’s policy titled: Indiana Abuse & Neglect & Misappropriation of policy with an effective date of September 1, 2017.”
