(FAIRFIELD, IL) — A Fairfield nursing home has been fined $50,000 after two residents died within days of each other from complications associated with the use of feeding tubes. The facility was also cited for failure to maintain “wall, and floor material, air conditioning units, water fountains, medication carts and resident care equipment.” Another Illinois nursing home is contesting their $50,000 fine for a mechanical lift failure and other violations that state investigators say contributed to a resident’s death. The (Dixon) Telegraph reports the Illinois Department of Public Health cited Franklin Grove Living and Rehabilitation Center for the lift problem as well as a violation of the state Nursing Home Care Act. The center is cooperating with the state, but Administrator Jessica Rogers says the nursing home doesn’t agree with the findings. According to a state report, the lift was used June 10 to transfer a patient from a wheelchair to a bed and a support loop to the sling holding her left leg broke. She fell, breaking her legs, and a doctor said that contributed to her death four days later.
