St. Paul's Senior Community: Catheter Injury Complaint - IL
The resident reported the incident on September 10. A staff member, identified in inspection records only as V4, was suspended the same day. The facility's own Employee Suspension Form documented the allegation plainly: staff pulled his catheter by not following correct procedures, which caused issues with his catheter, leaking and pain.
The suspension form classified the incident as a category II offense. Under that classification, the employee was not entitled to back pay while on suspension.
Federal inspectors cited the facility for failing to ensure that nursing staff had the competency and skills necessary to provide care, a violation tagged at a level of harm described as minimal harm or potential for actual harm.
The facility's own written policy on catheter care spells out what staff are supposed to do. The catheter and tubing must be kept free of kinks. The catheter must remain secured with a leg strap to reduce friction and movement at the insertion site, with the tubing strapped to the resident's inner thigh. Staff must ensure the resident is not lying on the catheter.
Whether those steps were skipped, rushed, or simply not known to the employee involved, the inspection record does not say. What it does say is that a man reported pain, and his catheter was leaking.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
