Federal inspectors flagged the lapses during a December 22 complaint inspection at Lafon Nursing Facility of the Holy Family on Chef Menteur Highway.

This includes injuries, alterations in health status, room changes, and other circumstances that impact the resident's care or quality of life.

Federal inspectors found that Sardis Community NH's administrator dismissed the December abuse allegations even though the evidence showed abuse had occurred.

Staff were required to document all findings in progress notes and notify physicians about new skin impairments.

That is the sequence of events inspectors documented at Sunny Hill Nursing Home of Will County following a complaint inspection completed January 2, 2026.

The facility has 36 patient assessments currently overdue, according to interviews with two MDS coordinators during a December 17th federal inspection.

No staff member could explain how she got the scratches on her left arm.

The nurse, identified as RN #1 in the December 22 inspection report, had worked at Storybrook Care & Rehabilitation for less than two months.

The violation came to light during a complaint investigation triggered by a serious injury.

The failure to report extended across multiple levels of staff.

Two weeks later, the family member still had the documents.

The resident, identified as R1 in inspection records, was admitted with diabetes, acute and chronic respiratory failure, and a tracheostomy.
