The Haven of Paris: Hip Fracture Diagnosis Delayed Two Weeks - IL
The woman's daughter told inspectors she visited several times a week and watched her mother's condition worsen. Her mother could answer questions but not always reliably. Sitting still, she would say she had no pain. Cross her legs, and she would yell that the pain was extreme. The staff nurse knew this and gave her pain medication. A large bruise covered her buttock and hip for weeks. By the time the MRI was finally done, the resident could no longer move her leg at all.
The family asked for an MRI on September 29. A nurse practitioner ordered it. The scan wasn't completed until October 10, eleven days later. The results weren't received by the facility until October 12. Surgery followed, and surgeons replaced the ball of her hip joint.
The facility's medical director, interviewed by inspectors on October 16, said the timeline was indefensible. "The MRI should have been completed sooner than 10/10/25, waiting that long was too delayed," he told inspectors. He said he would have expected the scan within a few days of the order. He also said he hadn't known the results sat unretrieved for two days after the scan was read, adding that nurses should have followed up the same day. "Waiting until 10/12/25 added two extra days of pain before surgery," he said.
He noted the scan was read by a telemedicine physician, which can slow the process, and said the nurse practitioner would have acted sooner had she known about the delay.
The daughter told inspectors she remained satisfied with the facility overall and expected her mother to receive good care when she returned. Her concern, she said, was the time her mother spent in pain. "I know she'll get good care when she returns," she told inspectors. "My concern was how long she remained in pain."
The inspection was classified as causing actual harm to a small number of residents.

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.
