Continental Nursing Center: Abuse Reporting Failure - IL
The facility assessed Resident 8 for pressure injuries on July 9, 2025, when the person was not at the nursing home. When questioned by inspectors, staff acknowledged the error.
"They do not do assessment when resident is not here. That may be an error," a facility representative told inspectors about the July 9 assessment.
Additional assessments dated July 15 and July 23, 2025 also raised questions that staff said they needed to investigate with the wound coordinator.
The facility's own policy requires weekly skin assessments to identify pressure injuries and other risk factors. According to guidelines dated October 9, 2023, staff must add appropriate treatment to residents' care plans when actual pressure injuries are found.
The policy also mandates that assessments be "timely and accurate" and include Braden Scale evaluations alongside weekly skin checks.
Federal inspectors cited the facility for failing to ensure residents received proper assessment and treatment to prevent or heal pressure sores. The violation affected few residents but created potential for actual harm.
Continental Nursing & Rehab Center, located on North Western Avenue, serves residents requiring skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. The facility must now submit a plan detailing how it will correct the assessment failures and prevent similar documentation errors.
The inspection was conducted in response to a complaint filed against the 60625 facility.
