her rights.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and records reviewed the facility failed to treat one resident with respect and dignity by placing
him in the hallway tied to a wheelchair and having pictures taken.This failure affected one of one resident
(R5) reviewed for dignity. Using the reasonable person concept it is reasonable to conclude that R5 felt
cold, uncomfortable, and dehumanized when he was sitting in a wheelchair, in the hallway, with a sheet, no
shoes, no socks.
The findings include:
On 8/29/23 an image of identified resident R5 obtained. Image is of a male, with disheveled, long, black
hair, and long facial hair. R5 sitting in a room, in a wheelchair, no socks or shoes, in a hospital issued gown,
with a face mask on, below his chin. A second image of a male, dark skinned, sitting in a wheelchair, in the
hallway, leaning forward, back exposed, no hospital gown is seen in the picture. R5 appears to be covering
his face or head with a white sheet. Image matches with the identified hallway of the facility hallway, outside
of the elevator to the left, in front of the dining room door, below sprinkler device. R5 sitting across from
nurses' station desk with the back of the computer monitor. The floor pattern and wallpaper match to the
facility décor. No face for the resident is visible and his feet are exposed, no shoes or socks.
Additionally, the picture shows R5 tied with a white sheet to the wheelchair and two knots in the back. A gait
belt is visible around the back of the wheelchair. A blue scrub pant is visible in the lower corner of the
image. A camera is observed in the vicinity directly in the line of sight where the resident in the picture is
sitting.
R5 is [AGE] years old with diagnosis including, but not limited to Convulsions, Alcohol Abuse with Alcohol
Induced Anxiety Disorder, Depressive Episodes, Schizoaffective Disorder, Dementia, Acute Cystitis, and
Bacterial Pneumonia. R5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] around 2:00PM - 2:30PM (per DON). At
6:02PM R5 was ordered a psychiatric transfer, and transferred to the hospital on 7/27/24 at 12:25AM. R5
was admitted to the hospital.
On 9/10/24 at 9:46AM V24, CNA, said V19 told her was going to take pictures of the situation with R5. V24
said I didn't report it because I wasn't in the facility.
On 9/10/24 at 10:40AM V18, Scheduler said she heard V19 talking about R5 on the phone and say I'm
going to take pictures and send them. V19 said staff taking pictures of resident is a HIPPA violation.

On 9/3/24 at 3:20PM V5, DON, said V18 called me and told me V19 was on the phone talking to someone
about R5 and about how bad he is and something about pictures. V5 said, V18 and V24 should have
reported V19.
On 9/10/24 at 12:07PM V25, Administrator, said V19 probably should not have completed the shift on

out. V25 said I did not know anything occurred with R5 until V5 spoke with me after she spoke with the
surveyor.
On 9/12/24 at 11:50AM V26, Infection Preventionist, said when a resident comes out of the room, to a
common area they should have clothing on, no gown, be clean, face washed, and have their walker or
wheelchair. V26 said for footwear we use non skid socks if they don't have shoes or slippers. V26 said we
can use donated clothing from laundry that they can wear, or we can double gown to cover their front and
back. V26 said we would double gown to give them some privacy. V26 said if they are out in a common area
not dressed or with a their back exposed they could most definitely feel uncomfortable and maybe a little
cold.

Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment,
and neglect by anybody.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and records reviewed the facility failed to follow their abuse policy to prevent unauthorized
photos of a resident restrained to a wheel chair in the hallway. This affected one of three residents R5
reviewed for mental abuse. This failure resulted in R5 having unauthorized photos taken of him restrained to
a wheelchair which is demeaning, and humiliating.
Findings include:
On 8/29/24 at 11:21AM V19, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), said on 7/26/24 I saw R5 had a gait belt
around him. V19 said I was assigned to be R5's one to one, monitoring him. V19 said I talked to V11, LPN,
and V5, DON, and the scheduler. V19 said I told V5 about the gait belt around R5 before she left like at
4:30PM. V19 said they said if you don't want to watch the patient, then go home. V19 said I left the floor and
then I came back up to the floor around 6:00PM or 7:00PM and R5 had the sheet around him. V19 said I
got fired because of this. V19 said I saw R5 with the sheet tied with two knots around his stomach and he
was sitting on a regular wheelchair, he also had the gait belt on. V19 said I documented it, V19 provided
pictures to IDPH from his personal phone.
On 8/29/23 an image of identified resident R5 obtained. Image is of a male, with disheveled, long, black
hair, and long facial hair. R5 sitting in a room, in a wheelchair, no socks or shoes, in a hospital issued gown,
with a face mask on, below his chin. A second image of a male, dark skinned, sitting in a wheelchair,
leaning forward, back exposed, no hospital gown is seen in the picture. Image matches with the identified
hallway of the facility hallway, outside of the elevator to the left, in front of the dining room door, below
sprinkler device. R5 sitting across from nurses' station desk with the back of the computer monitor. The floor
pattern and wallpaper match to the facility décor. No face for the resident is visible and his feet are
exposed, no shoes or socks. A blue scrub pant is visible in the lower corner of the image. A camera is
observed in the vicinity directly in the line of sight where the resident in the picture is sitting.
R5 is [AGE] years old with diagnosis including, but not limited to Convulsions, Alcohol Abuse with Alcohol
Induced Anxiety Disorder, Depressive Episodes, Schizoaffective Disorder, Dementia, Acute Cystitis, and
Bacterial Pneumonia. R5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] around 2:00PM - 2:30PM (per DON). At
6:02PM R5 was ordered a psychiatric transfer, and transferred to the hospital on 7/27/24 at 12:25AM. R5
was admitted to the hospital.
On 9/10/24 at 9:46AM V24, CNA, said on 7/26/24 around 5:00PM - 5:30PM I was at home when V19 called
me, he said they stuck him with a one to one monitor. V24 said V19 said they were restraining the resident.
V24 said V19 was going to document by taking pictures. V24 said I don't think V19 took pictures of R5's
face, just the restraint. V24 said I didn't report to anyone because I felt V19 had it under control and I didn't
see it because I wasn't in the facility.
On 9/10/24 at 10:40AM V18, Scheduler, said I heard V19 on the phone when I was walking in the hallway,
after dinner between 5:15-5:30. V18 said I heard V19 telling someone, this resident he doesn't sit down, he
is getting on my nerves. V18 said I don't know who V19 was talking to. V18 said I asked V19 if he was
taking pictures and he said no he was not. V18 said I told V5 I heard V19 say I'm going to take pictures and
send them. V19 said V24 mentioned V19 told her he was going to send the pictures. V18 said I told V19 you
can't take pictures. V18 said I didn't see V19 take pictures. The

surveyor asked V18 do you have to see abuse happen to report it? V18 said no. V18 said I felt I needed to
call V5 to see if V19 needed to be sent home, because he was on the phone. V18 said V19 stayed with R5
until the end of his shift. V18 said staff are not allowed to take pictures of the residents because it is a
HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) violation. V18 said staff are not supposed to be
on the phone while on duty with a resident. V18 said staff are not to be on the phone while assigned one to
one monitoring with residents.
On 8/30/24 at 12:29PM V5, Director of Nursing, said V19 was terminated for being on his cell phone, twice.
V5 said on 7/26/24 I told him to get off the phone when I saw him. V5 said another staff observed V19 on
the cell phone and heard V19 talking about R5 and how bad R5 was and R5 did not need to be here. V5
said that same night V19 was mad and said he was leaving, he was upset about having to do the one to
one. V5 said when I spoke to V18 by phone, it may have been 9:00PM or 10:00PM. V5 said V19 did not
finish his shift, we got someone else to monitor R5. V5 said taking resident pictures is a HIPPA violation. V5
said I told V18 to take V19 off the schedule until I speak with him on Monday.
On 9/3/24 at 3:20PM V5, said V18, Scheduler, called me while I was at home and said when she walked in
R5's room and saw V19 on the phone. V5 said V18 reported V19 was on the phone talking to someone
about how bad R5 is and something about pictures. V5 said V18 said she asked V19 if he was taking
pictures. V5 said V19 was the only CNA assigned to R5. V5 said after the surveyor spoke with me (on
8/30/24) I spoke with my staff and V24 said V19 called me and said he was going to take pictures of the
resident. V5 said V24 said she didn't report it because it didn't involve me and she didn't want to get
involved. V5 said V18 and V24 should have both reported V19 on 7/26/24.
On 9/10/24 at 12:07PM V25, Administrator, said V19 probably should not have completed the shift on
7/26/24. V25 said V19 talking about R5 on the phone violates policy. V25 said if I had been there, V19
would not have been allowed to return to the floor after walking out. V25 said I did not know anything
occurred with R5 until V5 spoke with me after she spoke with the surveyor.
V19 employee file notes his hire date is 7/10/24. Review of V19's employee file conducted. V19's HIPPA
Quiz dated 7/10/24 has no responses for the questions. On 7/10/24 V19 signed I acknowledge that I have
received and read the facilities abuse prevention program policy and procedure. I have received and read
the social media policy. I understand the requirements of the social media policy represents the standards

being tied into a wheelchair with a gait belt and a bed sheet. This failure affects one of three residents (R5)

The findings include:
On 8/29/24 at 11:21AM V19, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), said on 7/26/24 R5 was on one to one
monitoring, he was a lunatic. V19 said R5 was trying to throw himself on the floor. V19 said I saw R5 had a
gait belt around him and I told them, I don't feel comfortable with the belt on him. V19 said I talked to V11,
LPN, and V5, DON, and the scheduler. V19 said I told V5 about the gait belt around R5, before she left like
at 4:30PM. V19 said I didn't say anything about the sheet. V19 said they said if you don't want to watch the
patient, then go home. V19 said I left the floor and then I came back up to the floor around 6:00PM or

sheet tied with two knots around his stomach and he was sitting on a regular wheelchair, he also had the
gait belt on. V19 said I documented it, V19 provided documentation to IDPH.
R5 is [AGE] years old with diagnosis including, but not limited to Convulsions, Alcohol Abuse with Alcohol
Induced Anxiety Disroder, Depressive Episodes, Schizoaffective Disorder, Dementia, Acute Cystitis, and
Bacterial Pneumonia. R5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] around 2:00PM - 2:30PM (per DON). At
6:02PM R5 was ordered a psychiatric transfer, and transferred to the hospital on 7/27/24 at 12:25AM. R5
was admitted to the hospital.
On 8/29/24 at 1:18PM V10, Registered Nurse (RN), said I did the admission for R5. V10 said R5 was a little
aggressive and he was not verbal. V10 said when I spoke with R5 he understands a little and was alert
times 1-2. V10 said R5 was not mobile, he was not steady, he liked to grab at people. V10 said R5 was a
complete assist, he needs staff assistance for everything. V10 said R5 was a fall risk. V10 said I had to call
for someone to sit with him. V10 said R5 was constantly trying to get up and he was aggressive. V10 said
R5 sat in a regular wheelchair. V10 said we got a sitter for him in the evening. V10 gave a description of R5,
she said he was an African American male, about 110 pounds, 5'3 - 5'2, thin, and he had a gastric tube
when he first came to us. V10 described R5's hair as not well kept and he had a thin beard. V10 was shown
a picture of a male, sitting in a chair, in a room and V10 said that is him identifying R5.
On 8/29/24 1:33PM V11, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), said we needed a one to one for R5. V11 said R5
had behaviors. V11 said R5 would throw things at staff, use verbal profanity, and he would not stay seated
for 2 seconds. V11 said the assigned monitors reported R5 was hitting them and he would urinate wherever
he was. V11 said R5 sat in a wheelchair.
On 8/29/24 at 2:25PM V14, CNA, said I used to take R5 outside to try and calm him down, in a wheelchair.

Level of Harm - Actual harm
On 8/30/24 at 10:09AM V16, CNA, said on 7/26/24 V19 got pulled to monitor R5. V16 said R5 was really
anxious, he tried to get up, and his legs go weak. V16 said we kept coming back to check on V19 because
R5 was anxious, he was in the wheelchair rolling everywhere. V16 said at first V19 was nervous with R5, I
had to pull him out the room and talk to V19 about how to address R5's behavior. V16 said R5 and V19
were in the hallway and in the room. V16 said I think V19 had blue scrubs on that day. V16 said V19 said R5
was throwing feces. V16 said R5 was in a wheelchair. V16 said V19 was having a panic attack after R5 was
throwing feces and urinating. V16 said V19 came to the nurses' station, and he said this is too much, I can't
deal with this and R5 was in the room. V16 said I told V19 you need relief for a one to one. V16 said V19
was belligerent, he was not listening and having a panic attack, and V19 went down the stairwell. V16 said
V19 ended up coming back to the floor, he was gone like 10 minutes. V16 said V19 was doing this around
5:30PM, mealtime. V16 said R5 had tried to throw himself out of the chair or lean forward. V16 said V18,
Scheduler, tried to do education with V19 about how to care for R5. V16 said the shift ends at 11:00PM,
and V19 sat with R5 until 11:00PM.
Residents Affected - Few
On 8/30/24 11:10AM V5, Director of Nursing (DON), said we issue gait belts to the CNAs and we expect
them to use them for transfers. V5 said they have the gait belts on them, they are expected to carry them
while at work. V5 said R5 was all over the place he kept getting up from his wheelchair. V5 said we
assigned a one to one monitor because we were afraid R5 was going to fall. V5 said R5 was standing,
difficult to redirect, pulling at his gastric-tube, reaching and grabbing for the CNAs. V5 said we got a
wheelchair for R5 and sat him at the nurses' station because he kept trying to stand. V5 said V19 was
pulled to monitor R5. V5 said R5 was at risk for falls, not redirectable, not listening, and not interested in
anything. At 12:29 V5 said V19 was terminated for being on his cell phone twice on 7/26/24 while he was
assigned the one to one with R5. V5 said a CNA observed V19 on the cell phone, and heard him talking
about R5 and how bad he was and he did not need to be here. V19 said that same shift V19 said he was
mad and he was leaving. V5 said V19 was upset about having to do the one to one. V5 said a physical
restraint would be to tie a resident down in bed or a chair using a gait belt or a sheet. V5 said a restraint
would be anything used to keep a resident from getting up. The surveyor asked V5 does a restraint inhibit
freedom of movement, can it cause anxiety, agitation, and aggression? V5 responded yes to all. V5 said the
use of physical restraint is considered abuse.
9/10/24 9:46AM V24, CNA, said I was at home when V19 called me on 7/26/24. V24 said V19 said they
stuck him with a one to one. V24 said V19 said they were restraining R5. V24 said V19 said that R5 was
restrained to a chair. V24 said it was around 5:00-5:30PM when V19 called me.
9/10/24 10:40AM V18, Scheduler, said as I walking in the hallway, I heard V19 telling someone on the
phone this resident he doesn't sit down, he is getting on my nerves. V18 said I don't know who V19 was
talking to. V19 said when I went in R5's room V19 was standing behind R5 holding him down. V18 said I
told V19 it could be intimating to be behind him.
On 9/3/24 at 3:20PM V5 said V19 was assigned to R5 and from the start he was mad and upset because
he did not have the option to refuse. V5 said one of the CNAs I spoke to said V19 called me and said he felt
uncomfortable taking care of this patient because the resident was restrained. V5 said V18 called me on
7/26/24, after I had gone home, and said when she walked in R5's room V19 had R5 in a choke hold in the
wheelchair, trying to hold him down, and talking on the phone. V5 said, V18 said V19 was on the phone

On 9/10/24 at 11:51am V15, Assistant Director of Nursing, said there are no restraint use assesmsents
because we are a restraint free facility.
Level of Harm - Actual harm
Residents Affected - Few
On 9/10/24 at 12:07PM V25, Administrator, said during orientation I say no restraints, unless notified
otherwise, and then we would assess the resident on an as needed bases. V25 said I spoke with V19
yesterday (9/9/24) and all he could tell me is that when he got to the floor R5 had a gait belt on the chair.
V25 said I asked if the ambulance had left him like that, V19 said he didn't know. The surveyor asked V25 if
the ambulance transfers residents to them in wheelchairs, V25 said typically they don't come in with a
wheelchair. V25 said the camera only shows the hallway. V25 said the camera looks down towards the
dining room. V25 said there is only one camera, it can see the nurses' station, elevator, towards the dining
room, and the entrace to the dining room. V25 said it is very blurry I can't make out a whole lot.
On 8/29/24 an image of identified resident R5 obtained. Image is of African American, dark-skinned male,
with disheveled, long, black hair, and long facial hair. R5 sitting in a room, in a wheelchair, no socks or
shoes, in a hospital issued gown, with a face mask on, below his chin. A second image of a male, dark
skinned, sitting in a wheelchair, leaning forward, back exposed. Image matches with the identified hallway
of the facility hallway, outside of the elevator to the left, in front of the dining room door, below sprinkler
device. R5 sitting across from nurses' station desk with the back of the computer monitor. The floor pattern
and wallpaper match to the facility décor. A white with beige, red, and blue striped gait belt is visible
with a long tail portion off the lower back of the wheelchair. A white linen, possibly bed sheet, is visible tied
around the resident, left and right side of wheelchair have the same linen and 2 knots with a visible loop is
present on the back of the wheelchair. No face for the resident is visible, but he is in a hospital gown and
feet exposed, no shoes or socks. A blue scrub pant is visible in the lower corner of the image. A camera is
observed in the vicinity directly in the line of sight where the resident in the picture is sitting.
On 8/30/24 at 12:15PM V20, Human Resources, said V19 worked 7/26/24 3:00PM-11:00PM with a 30
minute lunch from 9:01PM- 9:30PM. V20 provided V19's time card.
On 8/30/24 at 12:57PM V5 provided two samples of gait belts given to CNAs for use in the facility. One
sample is beige with three stripes, blue, red, blue and metal clip. This belt is similar to the one seen in the
picture used on R5.
Review of R5's careplan and assessments. No risk of abuse assessment is in R5's chart. No restraint use
assessment is in R5's chart.
Facility provided Restraint Policy and Procedure dated 1/15/21 states physical restraint is any manual
method, or physical, or mechanical device, material, or equipment attached or adjacent to the individual's
body that the individual cannot remove easily, which restricts freedom of movement or access to his or her
body. Any resident that has restraint will have it removed during activities, meals, one to one and activities
of daily living (ADLs) when and if staff can safely monitor the resident. Any resident requiring a physical
restraint will be assessed prior to application to determine the least restrictive restraint used. A verbal
consent at minimum will be obtained prior to the physical restraint application. A plan of care will be
developed for all residents with chemical and physical restraints.

Timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and report the results of the investigation to proper
authorities.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interviews and records reviewed the facility failed to follow their policy to report potential abuse violations to
the abuse coordinator for one (R5) resident reported to be restrained, pictures were taken, and details of
his care/condition were shared over the phone to unknown persons. This failure affected 1 of 3 residents
reviewed. This failure resulted in perpetrator remaining with R5 to provide one on one care for the duration
of his shift.
The findings include:
R5 is [AGE] years old with diagnosis including, but not limited to Convulsions, Alcohol Abuse with Alcohol
Induced Anxiety Disorder, Depressive Episodes, Schizoaffective Disorder, Dementia, Acute Cystitis, and
Bacterial Pneumonia. R5 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] around 2:00PM - 2:30PM (per DON). At
6:02PM R5 was ordered a psychiatric transfer, and transferred to the hospital on 7/27/24 at 12:25AM. R5
was admitted to the hospital.
On 8/29/24 at 11:21AM V19, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), said on 7/26/24 I saw R5 had a gait belt
around him. V19 said I was assigned to be R5's one to one, monitoring him. V19 said I talked to V11, LPN,
and V5, DON, and the scheduler about the belt. V19 said I told V5 about the gait belt around R5 before she
left like at 4:30PM. V19 said they said if you don't want to watch the patient, then go home. V19 said I left
the floor and then I came back up to the floor around 6:00PM or 7:00PM and R5 had the sheet around him.
V19 said I got fired because of this. V19 said I documented it, V19 provided pictures to IDPH from his
personal phone.
On 9/10/24 at 9:46AM V24, CNA, said on 7/26/24 around 5:00PM - 5:30PM I was at home when V19 called
me, he said they stuck him with a one to one monitor. V24 said V19 said they were restraining the resident.
V24 said I told V19 to tell V18 and to call the Administrator. V24 said V19 was going to document by taking
pictures. V24 said I didn't report to anyone because I felt V19 had it under control and I didn't see it because
I wasn't in the facility.
On 9/10/24 at 10:40AM V18, Scheduler, said I heard V19 on the phone when I was walking in the hallway,
after dinner between 5:15-5:30. V18 said I heard V19 telling someone this resident he doesn't sit down, he
is getting on my nerves. V18 said I asked V19 if he was taking pictures and he said no he was not. V18 said
I told V5, Director of Nursing, I heard V19 say I'm going to take pictures and send them. V18 said V24
mentioned V19 told her he was going to send pictures. V18 said I didn't see V19 take pictures. The surveyor
asked V18 do you have to see abuse happen to report it? V18 said no. V18 said V19 stayed with R5 until
the end of his shift. V18 said staff are not allowed to take pictures of the residents because it is a HIPPA
(Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) violation. V18 said staff are not supposed to be on the
phone while on duty with a resident. V18 said staff are not to be on the phone while assigned one to one
monitoring with residents.
On 8/30/24 at 12:29PM V5, Director of Nursing, said V19 was terminated for being on his cell phone, twice.
V5 said on 7/26/24 I told him to get off the phone when I saw him. V5 said another staff observed V19 on
the cell phone and heard V19 talking about R5 and how bad R5 was and R5 did not need to be here. V5
said when I spoke to V18 by phone, it may have been 9:00PM or 10:00PM. V5 said V19 did not finish his
shift, we got someone else to monitor R5. V5 said taking resident pictures is a HIPPA violation. V5 said I
told V18 to take V19 off the schedule until I speak with him on Monday.

On 9/3/24 at 3:20PM V5, said V18, Scheduler, called me while I was at home and said when she walked in
R5's room and saw V19 on the phone. V5 said V18 reported V19 was on the phone talking to someone
about how bad R5 is and something about pictures. V5 said V18 said V19 had R5 in a choke hold in the
wheelchair, trying to hold him down, and talking on the phone. V5 said after the surveyor spoke with me (on
8/30/24) I spoke with my staff and V24 said V19 called me and said he was going to take pictures of the
resident. V5 said V24 said she didn't report it because it didn't involve me and she didn't want to get
involved. V5 said V18 and V24 should have both reported V19 on 7/26/24. V5 said V19 was assigned to R5
and from the start he was mad and upset because he did not have the option to refuse. V5 said one of the
CNAs I spoke to said V19 called her and said he felt uncomfortable taking care of this patient because the
resident was restrained.
On 8/30/24 at 12:15PM V20, Human Resources, said V19 was terminated for being overheard talking on
the phone about a resident while on one to one monitoring with a resident. V20 said V19 was terminated on
7/29/24. At 12:57PM V20 presented V19's time card and said he had no actual punches, I had to manually
enter his time. V20 said on V19's time card the entry for 7/29/24 should be his time for 7/26/24. V29 said
V19 worked 7/26/24 3:00PM -11:00PM with a 30 minute lunch from 9:01pm- 9:30PM. V20 said we don't
use miss punch forms, I enter the hours based on the schedule that V18 gives me. V20 presented a
schedule and said it shows V19 worked 3:00PM - 11:00PM on 7/26/24.
On 9/10/24 at 12:07PM V25, Administrator, said V19 probably should not have completed the shift on
7/26/24. V25 said V19 talking about R5 on the phone violates policy. V25 said if I had been there, V19
would not have been allowed to return to the floor after walking out. V25 said I did not know anything
occurred with R5 until V5 spoke with me after she spoke with the surveyor.
V19 employee file notes his hire date is 7/10/24. Review of V19's employee file conducted. V19's HIPPA
Quiz dated 7/10/24 has no responses for the questions. On 7/10/24 V19 signed I acknowledge that I have
received and read the facilities abuse prevention program policy and procedure. I have received and read
the social media policy. I understand the requirements of the social housing policy represents the standards
and policies of the facility.
V19's time card indicates he worked 7/26/24 3:00PM - 11:00PM and was not sent home as V5 said during
her interview.
IDPH received three pictures of R5 on 8/29/24 at 11:49AM. According to V19's time card, the last time V19
worked was on 7/26/24. R5 retained the pictures in his phone for 34 days.
The facility abuse prevention program updated 01/2019 states employees are required to immediately
report any incident, allegation or suspicion of potential abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of
resident property, mistreatment, or a crime against a resident they observe, hear about, or suspect to the
administrator if available or an immediate supervisor who must immediately report to the administrator. If
you suspect abuse separate the alleged perpetrator and assure all residents safety. Do not leave the
building until above is completed. Fax report to IDPH immediately. All incidents, allegations or suspicion of
abuse, neglect, exploitation, misappropriation of property, crime against a resident will be documented and
result in an abuse investigation. Staff members who are suspected of abuse or misconduct shall
immediately (regardless of time left on shift) be barred from any further contact with residents of the facility
and suspended from duty, pending the outcome of the investigation, prosecution, disciplinary action against
the employee.

Based on interviews and records reviewed the facility failed to ensure a STAT order for a chest x-ray for new
chest bruising was carried out within 4 hours. This affected one of one (R1) residents reviewed for radiology
orders.
Residents Affected - Few
The findings include:
On 8/28/24 at 2:10PM, V2 Registered Nurse said, a STAT order means as soon as possible.
On 8/28/24 at 1:59PM, V3 LPN said, on 7/29/24 when I came on shift, I was told we were waiting for an
x-ray on R1. V3 said they said would get there. V3 said, then during my 5:00PM medication pass I was
notified that R1 was not breathing. I assessed him, felt for a pulse, he was cold, not breathing, I called a
code blue, and called 911.
On 8/30/24 at 11:10AM, V5 DON said, on 7/29/24 R1 had yellowish and purplish bruising, right under the
breast area. V5 said, we asked the nurse practitioner to assess him. V5 said, she ordered labs and x-rays.
V5 said, we were waiting on diagnostic company to come in, then R1 had a change in condition, and he
was sent out. V5 said, STAT means right away, the expectation is they are in the facility within 4 hours. V5
said, the nurses are to call within 4 hours and get estimated time of arrival and update. V5 said, R1 left to
the hospital between 5:00PM- 6:00PM. V5 said, we obtained the x-ray orders in the morning between
10:30AM- 11:00AM. V5 said, the Diagnostic company took longer than the 4 hours. At the end of the
interview the surveyor requested the diagnostic company contract with the facility.
On 9/3/24 at 11:13PM, V23 Nurse Practitioner said, I ordered STAT labs on R1 to see if he was bleeding or
if something was broken. V23 said, there was a lot of bruising that was concerning. V23 said, I expect a
STAT order to be done in 2 hours and call and notify me of results. V23 said, they did not notify me the x-ray
was not done. V23 said, without the x-ray we can't know if R1 had a fracture. V23 said, bruising can be a
sign of fracture, and pain is not necessarily a sign. V23 said, a fracture can be present without pain. V23
said, I ordered the x-ray to be sure there was no fracture, and it is normal protocol.
On 9/3/24 at 12:25PM, V5 said, I'm still waiting on corporate to send the Diagnostic contract and the Stat
Orders policy.
The facility's Final report dated 8/2/24 to IDPH states R1 observed with ecchymosis extending across the
chest wall. At approximately 9:45AM the nurse practitioner was notified of the bruising. Order for STAT labs
and chest x-ray was given. At approximately 6:30PM the resident had a change of conditions and was
transported to the hospital.
Progress notes dated 7/29/24 4:31PM notes writer followed up with STAT order. Company states they will
be out today.
