Taylorville Care Center: Immediate Jeopardy Safety - IL
The patient, identified in inspection records only as R1, was being moved from his bed to a wheelchair for lunch on July 31, 2025, when two straps on the left side of the lift sling snapped. A nurse eased him toward the floor as he fell. He was sent to the hospital by ambulance. His care plan noted he was fully dependent on staff for transfers, severely impaired cognitively due to dementia, and on hospice.
The laundry supervisor told inspectors: "I know we were not documenting in the log like we were supposed to and I did get written up for it. I guess it broke again and somebody fell during a mechanical lift because the sling broke."
After R1's fall, the administrator said staff checked with laundry to confirm slings were being inspected and not washed with bleach, which the lift manufacturer's instructions identify as damaging to slings. Staff were re-educated. No other interventions were put in place.
Then a second resident fell.
That resident, R2, sustained an acute nondisplaced fracture through the anterior right iliac wing, according to a radiology report dated January 9, 2026. After R2's fall, the administrator said laundry staff were re-educated again.
The Director of Nursing, who was not in the position at the time of R1's fall, told inspectors she remembered only that "there was something with the sling" and had not been part of the management team then.
The facility received an Immediate Jeopardy citation. R1 remained on hospice.
