• Failure to Investigate or Report an Allegation of Abuse, Neglect or Mistreatment:

In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 04/18/2014, a complaint investigation was opened against the facility for its failure to “follow their policy for incident/accident reporting for [a resident who is at] high risk for fall.” This is in response to a 02/25/14 incident where a resident “hit her foot against the wall and had pain.” The report claims that the Assistant Director of Nursing / ADON “stated she did not do the incident report because there was no proof that it happened.”

• Failure to Retain the Dignity and Respect of Individuality:

In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 11/21/2014, state inspectors noted during an annual licensure and certification survey that ManorCare of Naperville failed to retain the dignitary and respect of individuality concerning residents at the facility. This notation is partially in response to an 11/19/2014 incident involving a resident complaint that she called a CNA “to empty her full bedside commode. [The resident] stated the [CNA] refused and asked [the resident] if she had asked the day shift CNA to do it because it was shift change at the time. [The resident] stated she had to get up and do it herself and she was weak and not feeling well. [The resident] stated, “This made me feel bad, I did not feel well and I could not move well. I really needed help.”

• Failure to provide an environment free of accidents and hazards:

In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 08/23/2011, a complaint investigation was opened against the facility for their failure to “provide adequate supervision of a two-person transfer with a mechanical lift and to ensure [the resident] wears a cervical collar at all times to maintain a C-3 cervical fracture.”
