Nursing homes in Galesburg, Macomb, and Monmouth were fined $25,000 each by the Illinois Department of Public Health over licensure violations.
IDPH’s 2024 first quarter reports detail the Type A violations for Macomb Post Acute Care Center, Monmouth Nursing Home, and Seminary Manor and Marigold Rehabilitation in Galesburg.
Type A violations are for incidents with substantial probability of death or serious mental or physical harm.
Macomb
IDPH investigators visited Macomb Post Acute Care Center, 8 Doctors Lane, in December 2023. They found the facility failed to implement fall interventions for a cognitively impaired resident and to prevent falls causing injury for other residents, resulting in the $25,000 fine.
This resulted in one resident being hospitalized with scalp lacerations and a neck fracture and subsequently in the resident’s death.
The facility is licensed to Macomb Post Acute Care Center LLC in Carmi, Ill.
Galesburg
Two Galesburg facilities were fined $25,000, including Marigold Rehabilitation, 275 E. Carl Sandburg Drive, and Seminary Manor, 2345 N. Seminary St.
Marigold was fined for failure to provide safe transfer for a resident in November 2023, resulting in a fall that caused a head laceration and subdural hematoma.
The facility is operated by Petersen Health Care.
Seminary Manor was fined for not notifying a physician to treat a resident for a urinary tract infection. That led to the resident not being treated for 12 days, experiencing pain and discomfort, being hospitalized, and developing sepsis.
Seminary Manor is licensed to UDI #7 LLC in Galesburg.
Monmouth
Monmouth Nursing Home, 117 S. I St., is licensed to Community Care Center of Monmouth, Inc.
The facility was fined $25,000 for failing to implement facility-wide protocols to address respiratory symptoms.
IDPH found the facility failed to do required COVID-19 testing on staff and residents demonstrating symptoms of a possible infectious respiratory illness, failed to follow transmission-based precautions for residents with suspected respiratory illness, and failed to wear proper PPE when caring for a COVID-19 positive resident.
Investigators said that had the potential to affect all the facility's residents.
