The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Rome received 31 citations for violations of public health code between 2018 and 2021, according to New York State Department of Health records accessed on May 20, 2022. The Rome nursing home’s citations resulted from a total of nine inspections by state surveyors. The violations they describe include the following:
1. The nursing home did not adequately implement accident-prevention measures. Section 483.25 of the Federal Code requires nursing homes to ensure resident environments are as free as possible of accident hazards, with adequate supervision to prevent accidents. A May 2021 citation found that The Grand Rehabilitation and Nursing at Rome failed to ensure such. The citation specifically describes an instance in which a resident with a history of looking for showers in the facility, and who required supervision for bathing and ambulation, was found in a shower with first and second degree burns. A plan of correction undertaken by the facility included the suspension of two nursing aides and a licensed practical nurse “as there was no documentation completed that they did their hourly rounds that was part of their job, and failed to properly know the whereabouts of their residents at all times.”
