The Haven of Paris: Hip Fracture Left Untreated Weeks - IL
Her daughter, listed in inspection records as her power of attorney, visited several times a week and watched her mother's condition deteriorate. "It reached the point where she couldn't move her leg at all," she told inspectors on October 15. A large bruise covered her mother's buttock and hip for roughly two weeks after the fall. The bruise had faded by the time the MRI was finally done.
The family requested the MRI on September 29, nearly two weeks after the fall, because the pain had not stopped. A nurse practitioner ordered it. The scan was not completed until October 10 — eleven days after the order was written.
Then the results sat.
The MRI was read by a telemedicine physician, and the facility's nurses did not follow up that same day to retrieve the findings. The fracture was not confirmed until October 12, two days after the scan was completed. Surgery followed.
The facility's medical director, interviewed by inspectors on October 16, did not hide his assessment. "The MRI should have been completed sooner than 10/10/25 — waiting that long was too delayed," he said. He added that he would have expected the scan within a few days of the order. He also said he had not known that results from October 10 went uncollected until October 12. "Facility nurses should have followed up that same day for results — waiting until 10/12/25 added two extra days of pain before surgery."
He noted that the nurse practitioner who ordered the MRI "is very good with residents and would have addressed the delay if she had known."
The administrator told inspectors on October 15 that the facility had been investigating the fall and had concluded it was not an injury of unknown origin. "We determined it was directly related to her fall on 9/16/25," the administrator said. "There is too much evidence that she continued to have pain in her right hip since the fall. It's no wonder — her hip was fractured."
The resident's daughter said her mother had been reporting pain to nurses since the day she fell. Her mother can answer questions, she explained, but not always reliably. "If she's sitting in a chair, she'll say no pain, but when she crosses her legs, she'll yell that she's in extreme pain." The nursing staff was aware of this pattern and provided pain medication accordingly.
Preoperative records from October 13 describe a femoral neck fracture treated with a cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty — a minimally invasive hip replacement. The surgical team discussed the procedure and its complications with the resident and her family before proceeding.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services cited The Haven of Paris under F0684, the standard requiring that residents receive care consistent with professional standards. The deficiency was rated at the "actual harm" level.
The resident's daughter said she holds no resentment toward the facility. Her mother loves it there, she said, and the therapy program is strong. Her concern was specific: the weeks her mother spent in pain before anyone ordered a scan, and then the additional days that passed before anyone retrieved the results that showed exactly what had been wrong all along.
Her mother was already in surgery by the time inspectors arrived.
