A nursing facility has received low ratings because their administrator failed to acknowledge and report several incidents. These incidents include one resident initiating “unsolicited sexual contact with eight other residents”, a nurse giving a resident the wrong medication, and the lack of security in the building. The citations came with $23,563 in fines, making it the third straight year of fines assigned to the nursing home.
The administrator went to a City Council meeting where he failed to mention all of the above and claimed that the nursing home was being fined for only four deficiencies, when in reality it was seventeen. Later, the actual survey of all the facility’s wrongdoings was posted on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service’s website for the public to see the actual citations.
