The March 24 incident at Calhoun Convalescent Center began when RN1 couldn't find the individual glucose monitors for two residents.

The coffee that burned the resident was served without temperature monitoring.

The facility knew the resident required enhanced barrier precautions but provided no gowns, gloves, or proper signage outside his room.

Yet the facility's response to his assault on another resident was delayed and inadequate.

The medical director said he never conferred with the former medical director before starting his position.

The incident occurred at Maria Regina Rehabilitation and Nursing during a January 28 federal inspection.

The medical examiner requested photographs of the head injury to determine its severity.

The abdominal binder at Geneva Lake Manor was supposed to hold nephrostomy tubes in place to prevent the resident from pulling them out.

Resident 85, a cognitively intact woman over 65 with diabetes, entered the facility in November 2023 with intact skin on her feet and heels.

The resident, identified as R9 in inspection records, propelled his wheelchair through Unit A on May 3 when he stopped a federal inspector at 2:19 pm.

Federal inspectors discovered the contaminated food during a July inspection of the facility's kitchen, which serves meals to 43 residents.

The incident occurred on January 14, 2025, when the resident became "increasingly agitated" because she wanted her medication schedule changed from 9 p.m.
