Violations and Citations

Even nursing homes with average or higher-than-average scores are likely to have complaints sometimes. Knowing what those complaints are and what violations inspections reveal is essential in getting the bigger picture of the community’s care as a whole. 

Specific Violations

Over the years, ManhattanView Nursing Home has had violations that include: 

Inadequate Medication Management: There are reports that the employees at the nursing home failed to work with a licensed pharmacist to provide proper medication management to certain residents, negatively impacting their care. 

Failing to Abide By or Implement Fall Prevention Measures: Inspection reports show that the facility didn’t take the proper precautions to prevent falls. This includes leaving things around the facility that can trip residents and not having staff assist in transferring residents who are deemed a fall risk. 

Refusing to Honor Resident’s Rights: Residents have rights while in the nursing home, including requesting and refusing treatment at their will. Inspection reports state that some residents’ rights were violated by not allowing them to refuse certain treatments despite their choice. 

Impact on Residents

The impacts of the violations at ManhattanView Nursing Home can have lasting effects on the residents who were directly and indirectly affected. 

Health and Safety

Improper medication management can have an impact on the resident’s health. While people in the rehabilitation center are there for physical therapy or other services, medication management is part of that. Improper medication assistance can lead to a decline in health status and cause further health problems. 

Emotional and Psychological Impact

Many residents in a nursing home aren’t overly excited to be there because it’s not their home and it’s away from loved ones. When you have rights violations and improper care of a resident, it can cause them to withdraw emotionally. It can lead to mental health issues like anxiety and depression, which can lead to an overall decrease in their health status. 

Case Studies

While there aren’t any public lawsuits regarding the care of residents at ManhattanView, there are several complaints reports on file documenting the rights violations, medication management issues, and lack of fall prevention. There have been several lawsuits against the facility for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act, though.

Nursing homes have a responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment in which people can live and heal. This includes providing quality healthcare, medication management, and respecting resident’s wishes.
