Alden Village

Alden Village Health FacilityMany residents of long-term care facilities require a higher level of ongoing supervision, medical attention, and treatment. Unfortunately, not all Centers adequately train the nursing staff to provide a level of care in accordance with nursing standards, which is often detrimental to the resident’s health. The elder abuse attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC represent injured, mistreated and abused patients who reside at Illinois long-term care under 22-year-old Centers like Alden Village Health Facility.

Bloomingdale Long Term Care Home Resident Safety Concerns

To ensure families are fully informed of the services and care that LTC homes offer in their community, the state of Illinois routinely updates their comprehensive list of opened investigations, safety concerns, filed complaints and health violations of Homes statewide. This data can be used to make an informed decision before placing a loved one in a private or government-run facility.

The DuPage County abuse and neglect attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC have found various deficiencies, violations and safety concerns at this long-term care home including:

  • Failure to Protect the Rights of the Client

    In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 05/24/2016, a notation by a state investigator when performing an annual licensure and certification survey referred to the facility’s failure to “ensure the rights of one client who has a bed alarm.” The investigator also noted that the “facility failed to remove the Bed Alarm after that component of the Behavior Management Program was discontinued.”

    As a part of the investigation, a resident’s 05/22/2016 clinical records were reviewed. The records reveal that the resident “has a behavioral management program that was last revised on 02/15/2016 [...and the resident’s] program identified five targets of maladaptive behaviors expressed by the resident that include:

    • The resident may express maladaptive behaviors and “may yell, throw herself to the floor, and/or throw items on the ground when she is agitated.”
    • The resident may be noncompliant and “may not follow staff directives.”
    • The resident may express socially inappropriate behaviors and “at times make false accusations.”
    • The resident may attempt to elope because the resident “has a history of eloping.”
    • The resident may express self-injurious behaviors and “may hit herself in the face.”

    As part of the nurse interventions, the staff was directed to provide close supervision indicating that the resident “will be under close supervision (one step or for residents including [this resident]) during waking hours due to her elopement behaviors. A consent was signed by the resident’s guardian on 03/19/2016 to have a bed alarm due to a history of elopement.”

    However, the state investigator noted that the elopement component of the resident’s Plan of Care was discontinued from their behavior program on 04/12/2016. During an observation of the resident on the morning of 05/20/2016, “a bed alarm was observed to be attached to [the resident’s] bed.” One case manager at the facility “verified the bed alarm was on [the resident’s] bed.”

  • Failure to Provide a Standard of Care and Nursing Services That Meets the Needs of the Resident

    In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 02/23/2016, the state investigator noted the facility’s failure to “ensure there is ongoing assessments and documentation of the change in skin status of an individual… with right foot blisters.”

    The deficient practice by the nursing staff involved a resident who is “non-ambulatory and requires a manual wheelchair for mobility”, is “unable to self-propel and requires staff assistance to move.”

    The facility’s 02/08/2016 Incident Report documents a 2.5 centimeter by 2.5 centimeter open blister to the medial inner side of the right foot and a 7.0 centimeter by 4.0 centimeter intact blister next to the open blister.” The resident received physician’s orders including ointment to treat the blisters and covered with non-adherent pads.

    The state investigator observed the resident’s blisters and noted a distinct color change to the resident’s skin, which was verified by the Director of Nurses. The Director also verified on 02/22/2016 “that there is no ongoing documentation of the color change to [the resident’s] blisters.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
Jonathan Rosenfeld was professionally objective, timely, and knowledgeable. Also, his advice was extremely effective regarding my case. In addition, Jonathan was understanding and patient pertaining to any of my questions or concerns. I was very happy with the end result and I highly recommend Jonathan Rosenfeld. Michonne Proulx
★★★★★
Extremely impressed with this law firm. They took control of a bad motorcycle crash that left my uncle seriously injured. Without any guarantee of a financial recovery, they went out and hired accident investigators and engineers to help prove how the accident happened. I am grateful that they worked on a contingency fee basis as there was no way we could have paid for these services on our own. Ethan Armstrong
★★★★★
This lawyer really helped me get compensation for my motorcycle accident case. I know there is no way that I could have gotten anywhere near the amount that Mr. Rosenfeld was able to get to settle my case. Thank you. Daniel Kaim
★★★★★
Jonathan helped my family heal and get compensation after our child was suffered a life threatening injury at daycare. He was sympathetic and in constant contact with us letting us know all he knew every step of the way. We were so blessed to find Jonathan! Giulia
★★★★★
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
