Symphony of Crestwood

When placing a loved one in the care of a nursing home, of course you have their best interests in mind. It’s not an easy decision to have someone else in charge of your loved one’s around-the-clock care, but in many cases, due to complex medical needs or a high level of dependency on others for daily life care, a nursing home is your only option.

You expect them to provide appropriate medical and daily life care, treat them with respect, give them their due dignity, and provide them with a comfortable, safe place to live and recuperate. While this is what you will find happening in most nursing homes, many miss the mark, providing substandard care through intentional understaffing, poor training, negligence and even abuse. Sadly, this is happening in far more instances than most people care to believe.

Here’s the harsh, tragic truth: As many as 5 million elderly Americans in nursing home care are neglected or abused every year. Many more go undocumented due to the lack of ability to communicate that there is a problem and even fear of harsh repercussions by staff members if they found they were reported.

A staggering 1 in 3 nursing homes was cited with violations with the potential to cause harm, and nearly 10 percent of all nursing homes have violations that caused actual harm, which includes injuries and even death. It’s distressing to think it could even be your loved one being mistreated, neglected, and ignored.

The expert elder abuse attorneys at Levin & Perconti are dedicated to exposing the truth about these facilities. We hold the violating nursing homes accountable for their actions and get the affected residents and their families the compensation they deserve. We share information about the violations these facilities have made so you can be well informed. Here are the details on Symphony of Crestwood.

While Symphony of Crestwood is rated “average” by Medicare.gov, serious deficiencies in care have resulted in resident injuries:

06/01/2018 Failure to ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents. A resident suffered a painful fracture injury to her hip and femur that required surgery to repair due to being transferred from bed to wheelchair. According to her records, the transfer technician should have used a mechanical lift to move her from one place to another, due to her extremely brittle bones. The transfer technician and CNA both stated they use a “Draw sheet” technique instead. This is (clearly) not a recommended technique to move this individual according to her needs and her physical therapy notes.

11/09/2017 Failure to keep each resident free from physical restraints, unless needed for medical treatment. The facility failed to follow physician’s orders for a resident who was observed to be restrained to her wheelchair constantly. The resident was seen in multiple daily activities, including music time, lunch, stretching, and group activities where she was fully supervised and was still strapped into her wheelchair. Her physician’s orders were to allow restraint-free time during mealtime and supervised daily activity time.

11/09/2017 Failure to Make sure that the nursing home area is free from accident hazards and risks and provides supervision to prevent avoidable accidents. A resident with a high risk for falls had risk prevention measures in place, however they were not functioning. The resident had multiple pressure sensors intended to sound an alarm in the case of a fall. None of which were operating. The alarm did not sound when tested, and one sensor, intended for a chair, was found on the floor.
