Westwood Specialty Care: Safety Hazard Violations - IA
Federal inspectors cited the facility on December 31, 2025, following a complaint survey, for failing to maintain complete and accurate resident records. The deficiency, tagged F0842, was rated at the level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, and affected a small number of residents.
The inspection record does not describe how much money disappeared or when, or what the mediation involved. What it does describe is a gap: neither the missing money nor whatever steps followed were ever documented in the resident's chart.
Medical records at nursing homes are meant to capture what happens to residents, including incidents, who was notified, and how the situation was handled. None of that happened here, according to inspectors.
When a regional nurse consultant for the facility was interviewed on December 29, 2025, the inspector asked directly whether the missing money and the mediation should have been documented in the resident's records. The consultant's answer was unambiguous. "Something should have been documented," the consultant said.
That acknowledgment came from inside the organization. Not from a regulator pressing a reluctant administrator, but from the facility's own regional clinical leadership, confirming that whatever process the facility followed after a resident's money went missing, the resident's record was left blank.
Westwood Specialty Care is located at 4201 Fieldcrest Drive in Sioux City. The inspection was completed December 31, 2025. The facility's plan of correction was not included in the inspection materials reviewed.
The resident whose money went missing has no documentation in their file that anyone tried to make it right.
