Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Hebron Oaks during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with intact cognition, severe lumbar pain, and dependence on staff for toileting and bed mobility was care planned for frequent pain and required frequent incontinence care. On one shift, two CNAs attempted to provide incontinence care due to a saturated brief; the resident, who often verbally refused care because of pain and anxiety, began screaming when turned. A RN entered the room, yelled at the resident, threatened that they would be cut from therapy and kicked out if they did not cooperate, and forcibly rolled and held the resident on their side without permission while directing staff to complete incontinence care, despite the resident crying, screaming in pain, and asking to be let go. Multiple staff, including the IDON, described the RN’s behavior as bullying and verbally abusive, and the facility later substantiated that the resident was subjected to verbal and physical abuse, resulting in unnecessary pain and anxiety.
A resident with intact cognition, significant lumbar osteomyelitis, chronic pain, and dependence on staff for toileting and repositioning alleged that an RN verbally threatened discharge and forced incontinence care after the resident cried out during care. The facility’s policy required allegations of abuse or serious bodily injury to be reported to the state agency immediately, but not later than two hours after the allegation. Instead, the Administrator, who was informed of the allegation and aware that the RN had been removed from the schedule, submitted the abuse report approximately 18 hours after the event, based on his mistaken belief that non-physical abuse only needed to be reported within 24 hours, resulting in a failure to meet the policy’s required reporting timeframe.
The facility failed to enforce its abuse policy requiring immediate suspension of a staff member following an abuse allegation, allowing an RN accused of verbal and physical abuse toward a resident with significant pain, mobility limitations, and hospice care needs to return to the building on multiple occasions during the ongoing investigation. Although the RN was removed from the schedule, she was not clearly informed of her suspension, continued to clock in for work and online training, and had access to resident care areas while the allegation was being investigated. Leadership acknowledged that there was no mechanism to suspend the RN’s timecard or notify other staff of the suspension, resulting in a breakdown of protections intended to prevent further abuse.
The facility did not obtain food from approved or satisfactory sources and failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food according to professional standards.
A registered nurse was hired and began providing care without the facility completing a required out-of-state criminal background check, despite the nurse having recently lived in another state. This failure to follow the facility's abuse prevention policy resulted in noncompliance with screening procedures.
Two residents in a facility experienced inadequate pressure ulcer care, leading to the development and deterioration of pressure injuries. One resident developed three pressure injuries after admission, with insufficient wound assessments and delayed preventive measures. Another resident, admitted with a stage 4 pressure injury, experienced wound deterioration and infection due to lack of proper assessments and interventions. The facility's failure to adhere to its skin injury prevention policy resulted in immediate jeopardy for the residents.
The facility did not complete annual performance reviews for five CNAs, including two CNA/Medication Technicians, over a one-year period. The Nursing Home Administrator acknowledged the oversight, citing confusion regarding unionized CNAs as the reason for the lapse.
Abusive Verbal Threats and Forced Incontinence Care by RN
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to protect a resident from verbal and physical abuse by a registered nurse (RN A). Facility policy on preventing abuse, neglect, misappropriation, mistreatment, and exploitation, updated 08/25/2023, states that residents will not be abused by anyone and defines abuse as the willful infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or punishment resulting in physical harm, pain, or mental anguish. The policy clarifies that "willful" means the individual acted deliberately, even if they did not intend to inflict harm. Resident #1 was admitted on 10/02/2025 with a history of lumbar vertebral osteomyelitis, lumbar discitis, anxiety disorders, muscle weakness, and right thigh pain. An admission MDS with ARD 10/08/2025 showed intact cognition (BIMS 14), dependence on staff for toileting hygiene and rolling in bed, frequent pain that affected sleep, therapy participation, and daily activities, and a pattern of rejecting care on some days. The care plan identified chronic bilateral hip pain related to arthritis and acute back pain related to lumbar osteomyelitis, with interventions to anticipate pain needs and respond immediately to pain complaints, and to check and change the resident frequently due to ADL self-care deficits and limited mobility. On 10/09/2025, CNAs B and C attempted to provide incontinence care because the resident’s brief was saturated and there were concerns about skin breakdown. Interviews with CNAs B and C indicated that the resident was dependent for most care, incontinent of bowel and bladder, and often verbally refused care due to anxiety and significant back pain, but was not typically physically resistive. CNA C reported that the resident initially agreed to incontinence care but began screaming and asking to be put down when staff attempted to roll them. CNA B stated she left to get the IDON, who was familiar with the resident, while CNA C remained in the room talking with the resident. Both CNAs reported that RN A entered the room, yelled at the resident, and told the resident they would be kicked out of the facility and cut from therapy if they did not allow care. CNA B stated that RN A, without explanation to the resident, forcibly pulled the resident onto their side, during which the resident screamed and cried in pain and asked to be let go, while RN A continued to lecture and yell. CNA B estimated the resident was held on their side for 8–10 minutes while in pain, and then forcibly rolled to the other side so that incontinence care, ointment application, and a clean brief could be completed. CNA C corroborated that RN A ran into the room, screamed at the resident about being kicked out if they did not accept care, and rolled the resident onto their side without permission, directing CNA C to hurry and clean the resident while the IDON stood in the room observing. The IDON stated she heard the resident screaming and went to the room a couple of minutes later, where she observed RN A bullying the resident, telling them they would be kicked out of the facility and that therapy would stop if the resident did not do what RN A said. The IDON described the resident as very anxious and fearful of rolling, and recalled seeing CNAs on either side of the resident while RN A was in the resident’s face yelling. The IDON stated she left the room while staff were turning the resident but later returned to reassure the resident. An internal mistreatment/abuse report documented that RN A leaned over the resident, pointed, and stated, "I'm not going to keep doing this with you, you need to be getting out of the bed at least twice a day, and you need to knock this off or you're going to be cut from therapy and kicked out next week," while the resident was crying, upset, and in pain throughout the interaction. The facility’s Executive Director later stated that RN A should not have lectured the resident or forced incontinence care against the resident’s will, and the facility substantiated the allegation of abuse. In contrast, RN A stated in a telephone interview that the resident had bone pain from infection, was often resistant to care and to using a full-body mechanical lift, and that pain was a major issue causing the resident to cry when turned. RN A reported that a physical therapist had informed her that a care conference would be held to discuss stopping therapy due to lack of progress, and she went to the resident’s room to motivate them to participate in therapy. RN A claimed no other staff were present when she spoke with the resident, that she only reiterated what therapy had told her about possible discontinuation of therapy, and that she did not tell the resident they had to participate in therapy to stay in the facility or that they would be thrown out. RN A stated she did not recall assisting with care for the resident on that date and did not believe she had done anything wrong. However, multiple staff interviews and the internal report consistently described RN A verbally berating the resident, threatening discharge and loss of therapy, and forcibly rolling and holding the resident in painful positions against their will during incontinence care, resulting in unnecessary pain and anxiety for the resident.
Failure to Timely Report Allegation of Verbal and Physical Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of abuse within the required timeframe as outlined in its own Abuse, Neglect, Misappropriation, Mistreatment, and Exploitation policy. The policy, updated on 08/25/2023, required that all allegations of abuse or serious bodily injury be reported to the Department of Quality Assurance immediately, but not later than two hours after the allegation is made. Resident #1, who had intact cognition with a BIMS score of 14, a history of lumbar osteomyelitis, discitis, anxiety disorders, muscle weakness, right thigh pain, and chronic bilateral hip and acute back pain, was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene and repositioning and experienced frequent pain that affected sleep, therapy, and daily activities. The resident’s care plan directed staff to anticipate and respond immediately to pain complaints and to check and change the resident frequently. On 10/09/2025 at 5:00 PM, an allegation of abuse occurred when RN A was observed by the Interim DON telling Resident #1, "you just need to knock it off or therapy will cut you and we will throw you out," which upset the resident. During the investigation, the Administrator learned from staff statements that RN A had forced the resident to receive incontinence care after being alerted by the resident’s crying out during care. The Administrator acknowledged being informed of the allegation on 10/09/2025 but submitted the Alleged Nursing Home Resident Mistreatment, Neglect, and Abuse Report to the state agency on 10/10/2025 at 11:00 AM, 18 hours after the allegation. The Administrator stated he believed that, because the allegation did not involve physical bodily injury, it only needed to be reported within 24 hours and admitted the initial report was not filed within two hours and that he was not aware this was required by facility policy. The Former DON stated that she and the Administrator were made aware of the incident during the morning meeting on 10/10/2025, indicating a delay in internal reporting and external notification compared to the policy’s immediate reporting requirement.
Failure to Enforce Staff Suspension After Abuse Allegation
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to follow its abuse prevention policy by not effectively suspending and excluding an alleged abuser from the premises during an ongoing abuse investigation. The facility’s written policy on abuse, neglect, misappropriation, mistreatment, and exploitation, updated on 08/25/2023, states that residents will not be abused by anyone and that the first responsibility of the facility is to assure resident safety. The policy further requires that, in the event of an allegation of abuse against a staff member, the facility must take immediate steps to ensure resident safety and prevent further harm, including at a minimum the suspension of the staff member until the investigation is complete. Despite this policy, the facility allowed the alleged abuser, a registered nurse (RN A), to re-enter and be present in the facility on multiple days after an abuse allegation was reported. Resident #1 was admitted on 10/02/2025 with a medical history that included osteomyelitis and discitis of the lumbar region, anxiety disorders, muscle weakness, and right thigh pain. An admission MDS with an ARD of 10/08/2025 showed a BIMS score of 14, indicating intact cognition, and documented that the resident rejected care on one to three days during the assessment period. The MDS also indicated the resident was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene and rolling, and experienced frequent pain that affected sleep, therapy participation, and day-to-day activities. The care plan identified chronic bilateral hip pain related to arthritis, acute back pain related to lumbar osteomyelitis, and an ADL self-care deficit related to activity intolerance, limited mobility, and hospice services, with interventions to anticipate pain needs and check and change the resident frequently. On 10/09/2025 at approximately 5:00 PM, the Interim DON observed RN A telling Resident #1, "you just need to knock it off or therapy will cut you and we will throw you out," and an abuse allegation was reported by the Administrator on 10/10/2025 at 11:00 AM. The report indicated RN A had completed her shift, left the facility, and was suspended; however, facility records showed RN A clocked in and was present in the facility on 10/11/2025, 10/12/2025, and 10/13/2025 during the ongoing investigation. Interviews revealed that RN A stated she was not informed of her suspension until 10/13/2025 while working on the 3rd floor, and that she had come in to work a shift and to complete online training and return keys. The Interim DON confirmed RN A came in the weekend after the incident to complete online training, and the Administrator stated he was unaware of RN A’s presence on 10/11/2025 and 10/12/2025 and that there was no way to suspend a staff member’s timecard or alert other staff to the suspension. As a result, the facility did not implement effective protections after the allegation of abuse involving RN A and Resident #1, allowing RN A access to residents during the investigation.
Failure to Follow Food Procurement and Safety Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to procure food from sources that are approved or considered satisfactory and did not store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards. This deficiency was identified during the survey process, indicating that the facility did not meet regulatory requirements for food safety and handling. No additional details about specific residents, staff, or events are provided in the report.
Failure to Complete Required Out-of-State Background Check for RN
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its written policies and procedures designed to prohibit and prevent abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of resident property. Specifically, the facility's policy requires comprehensive background checks for all employees, including out-of-state criminal background checks if the individual has resided outside of Wisconsin within the past three years. The policy outlines that such checks are necessary prior to allowing employees to work with residents. Despite these requirements, a review of a registered nurse's (RN J) employment records revealed that the facility did not obtain an out-of-state criminal background check, even though RN J had recently lived in California. The omission was confirmed during an interview with the Human Resources Business Partner, who acknowledged that the California background check was not completed before RN J began providing patient care. This failure to follow established screening procedures resulted in noncompliance with the facility's own abuse prevention policy.
Inadequate Pressure Ulcer Care and Prevention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate pressure ulcer care and prevention for two residents, leading to the development and deterioration of pressure injuries. One resident, admitted without pressure injuries, developed three pressure injuries, including two deep tissue injuries and one unstageable wound. The facility did not complete all required weekly wound assessments, and wound vacuum treatments were not properly executed. Preventive measures were not implemented until after the pressure injuries developed, resulting in wound deterioration. The resident expressed dissatisfaction with the care received, indicating a negative impact on their quality of life. Another resident was admitted with a stage 4 pressure injury and osteomyelitis. The facility failed to conduct weekly assessments and did not ensure that skin interventions were followed according to professional standards. This resident developed multiple wounds on their lower extremities, and their sacral wound deteriorated and became infected. The facility's lack of timely and appropriate interventions contributed to the worsening of the resident's condition. The facility's policy on skin injury prevention and management was not adhered to, as evidenced by the lack of prompt assessment, treatment, and monitoring of pressure injuries. The interdisciplinary care plan team did not adequately review and address risk factors for pressure injury development and healing. The facility's systemic approach to pressure injury prevention and management was insufficient, leading to immediate jeopardy for the residents involved.
Failure to Conduct Annual Performance Reviews for CNAs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete a performance review of every nurse aide at least every 12 months for five Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who were reviewed for in-service training. The survey team randomly selected five CNAs who had been employed at the facility for over a year, including two Certified Nursing Assistant/Medication Technicians and three Certified Nursing Assistants. Upon reviewing performance review records from February 18, 2024, to February 18, 2025, it was noted that none of these CNAs had a performance review completed during this period. The Nursing Home Administrator acknowledged the expectation for CNAs to have annual performance reviews and explained that the facility was confused about handling performance reviews for CNAs in a union, resulting in the omission of these reviews.
