  • Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care Prevent New Ulcers from Developing – citation #F686 date July 12, 2018
  • According to investigators, the nursing home “failed to implement preventive measures to ensure the resident did not develop pressure ulcers.

    Actual harm occurred to [the patient] when the resident developed one stage IV pressure ulcer.” to the coccyx and one deep tissue injury (purple or maroon color localized area, discolored intact skin or blood-fill blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure or shear) to his heel.”

    A Stage IV bedsore is “full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon, or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some part of the wound bed.”

    Documentation shows that the “facility identified to residents [currently living at the nursing home] who had in-house acquired pressure ulcers.” In one incident, the resident “was coded for a Stage IV pressure ulcer, and an unstageable pressure ulcer [that] were not present upon admission.

    A review of the resident’s Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment and Immediate Care Plan guided the nursing staff to “turn and reposition the resident every three to four hours as needed and add pressure-reducing devices as needed.” A subsequent Plan of Care revealed that the resident was to be turned and repositioned “every two hours, monitor the skin and report any signs of infection, wound size, and stage to the Physician and pressure reducing mattress to the bed and chair.”

    However, a review of the resident’s medical records for the following two months revealed that no documented evidence wound “prevention interventions were implemented or if the resident refused wound prevention interventions.”

  • Failure to Provide Necessary Care and Services to Maintain the Resident’s Highest Well-Being – citation #F309 date November 16, 2017
  • The nursing home “failed to ensure a resident was provided with psychiatric consult as ordered by the Physician.” During an interview with the Director of Nursing, it was revealed that the Social Service Designee was responsible “to arrange the psychological consult after the nursing department receives the order.”

Client Reviews

★★★★★
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
