Arcadia Care Aledo: Resident Rights Violations - IL
Hours passed. Nobody came.
Eventually the resident, identified in inspection records as R6, pulled herself close enough to her bedside stand to reach an emesis basin, a shallow kidney-shaped bowl used to catch vomit. She placed it under herself and urinated into it alone. She told a licensed practical nurse afterward that it hurt to use the emesis basin instead of a bedpan, and that she was humiliated.
She also said she never wanted that registered nurse to care for her again.
The incident surfaced during a complaint inspection completed December 1, 2025. When R6 had first asked the registered nurse, identified as V6, for help, the nurse told her all staff were busy with other residents. Then she swore at R6 and said someone would come when they could. According to the LPN who later spoke with R6, no one had responded in the hours that followed.
Federal inspectors cited the violation under F0550, which covers resident rights and dignity, and rated it as causing actual harm.
The facility's own administrator in training did not dispute what happened. On November 25, she told inspectors that the registered nurse should have helped R6 to the toilet when she asked, and that she considered what occurred, a resident being forced to urinate in an emesis basin, unacceptable and a violation of R6's rights.
R6 was left to manage it herself anyway.

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.
