Aperion Care is a large network of skilled nursing, assisted living, rehabilitative, and mental health facilities with locations throughout the Midwest. While many of these facilities hold above average ratings with Medicare.gov for their level of care and staffing, there are also a large number of facilities performing at below and much below average with severe health violations and poor staffing numbers— Aperion Care Marseilles is one of the latter.

Aperion Care Marseilles is a 103 certified bed skilled nursing, short term rehabilitation and physical therapy facility in Marseilles, Illinois. This facility has a one-star “much below average” rating with Medicare.gov. Some of their recent health care violations include:

05/18/2018 Failure to ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. A resident suffered a severe facial injury when their gown was caught in a wheelchair wheel, pulling them forward onto their face. A CNA was transporting the resident from the shower when the resident’s gown caught in the wheelchair wheel, causing the resident to fall forward, causing open fractures to their nose in multiple places, requiring 13 sutures.

05/18/2018 Failure to try different approaches before using a bed rail. If a bed rail is needed, the facility must (1) assess a resident for safety risk; (2) review these risks and benefits with the resident/representative; (3) get informed consent; and (4) Correctly install and maintain the bed rail. Upon observation and record review, it was found that 9 residents had bed rails in use, limiting their bed mobility, with no record of other interventions previously attempted.

03/30/2018 Failure to protect each resident from all abuse, physical punishment, and being separated from others. A resident was hit in the face with a support cushion and threatened by a staff member. The CNA picked up a support pillow and hit the resident in the face. The CNA then threatened that if the resident fell on the floor, the CNA would not pick them up. The CNA then smashed the pillow in the resident’s face and hit the resident a few times before wheeling them to the dining room and leaving them there.
