Concerning Findings about the Patient Care at Alden Estates of Evanston

A survey conducted by the Illinois State Department of Health and other private agencies discovered numerous cases of poor patient supervision, inadequate care equipment and abuse which can be construed as nursing home negligence. On reviewing the surveys of ProPublica, the nursing home attorneys at Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC discovered the following episodes which can be construed as negligence:

Failure to provide adequate, timely wound care: “On 12/22/10 at 12:20 PM, E4 (Nurse) was observed doing the wound treatment on R5. E4 was assisted by E5 (CNA/Certified Nursing Assistant). After completion of the dressing change on the right hip, E4 and E5 turned R5 on her right side to treat the sacral wound. There was one dressing that covered the sacral and the right buttock wounds dated 12/18/10. 4 was asked if the dressing should have been changed on 12/21/10 instead of 12/22/10 since the dressing was dated 12/18/10 and the order was to be changed every 3 days. E4 stated that the dressing change was scheduled for 12/22/10.”

Failure to properly treat pressure sores: “R10 was observed on 1-20-12 at approximately 10:30am sitting in his wheelchair. R10 told facility staff that he will not allow surveyor to see pressure sore sites because it hurts and the doctor will be in shortly. Z2 (Wound Nurse, Nurse Practitioner) on 1-19-12 at 1:45PM explain that the reason for the order for R10 to see a Vascular Surgeon is because the wound was not healing and getting worse. Z2 went on to say that the characteristics of R10 wound was black with gray around the edges which could be a sign of gangrene. Z2 stated that further assessments are needed to get a definitive diagnosis or gangrene. E10 ( Staff Nurse) stated on 1-19-12 that she was waiting for the family first before making the appointment for R10 to see the Vascular Surgeon, so the order was not carried out.”

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
