Manor Court of Peoria Ratings & Violations

Family members who place a loved one in a nursing facility are often unaware of the increased potential risk of the resident developing a facility-acquired pressure sore (bedsore, pressure ulcer, decubitus ulcer). The skin wounds are typically caused by prolonged pressure on the resident skin where it comes into contact with the wheelchair or bed. Without proper treatment, a small insignificant bedsore can easily develop into a life-threatening infection. Sadly, the Peoria nursing home abuse attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC have represented many residents who have suffered irreversible harm from a facility-acquired pressure sore.

Our attorneys recognize that nearly all bedsores can be prevented. Because of that, we are ardent advocates for nursing home residents all across Illinois. We publish up-to-date publicly available data involving opened investigations, filed complaints, regulatory violations and safety concerns at assisted-living centers, retirement communities and nursing homes statewide. This information can serve as a valuable tool for families in need of placing an elderly loved one in a nursing home.

• Failure to Provide Adequate Treatment to Prevent or Heal Pressure Sores:

  In a statement of deficiencies dated 03/29/2013, a complaint investigation was opened concerning the facility’s failure “to assist [a resident] off a bedpan for over two hours.” This is in response to a resident who was “in pain and found to be on a bedpan” on 3/14/13. The resident had been placed on the bedpan and remain there for “two hours and 20 minutes.” Upon transfer off the bedpan, the resident “had a new open area on her buttocks.” The open area was noted to be 4 cm x 1 cm in size and “looks as if it was caused by a bedpan.”

• Failure to Provide a Residential Environment Free of Physical Restraints:

  In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 05/07/2015, a complaint investigation was opened concerning the facility’s failure “to complete an assessment, document alternatives tried, and obtain a physician’s order documenting a medical symptom justifying the use of restraint for [a resident].” This is in response to a lack of orders on how to properly use a restraint, even upon the family’s request.

  investigation was opened for the facility’s failure to “assess, care plan, and have a medical symptom which justify the use of restraint for [2 residents].” This is in response to a failure to follow a care plan that indicates there must be a reason to use the restraint, indicates this restraint used and the duration and time of days where it can be utilized.
