The Illinois Department of Health and Human Services conducts inspections of Illinois nursing homes on average every 18 months. One such inspection was done at Alden Town Manor Rehab and Healthcare Center in March 2016. During this inspection, it was found that Alden Town Manor Rehab and Healthcare Center failed to keep each resident free from physical restraints unless needed for medical treatment.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to assess the necessity of a seatbelt and obtain a physician’s order and informed consent for the device and document the use of the seatbelt in the resident’s care plan. This has the potential affect 1 of 2 residents reviewed for restraints of a total of 27. In one case, a resident was in a wheelchair with a seatbelt. The resident made 3 attempts to demonstrate that she could release this seatbelt. She was unable to do so after several feeble attempts.

According to the Director of Nursing, if a seatbelt is not able to be removed by the resident, it is considered a restraint. There needs to be an assessment of a necessity for the device, a physician’s order and an informed consent from the resident or power of attorney holder. The assessment is performed by the restorative nurse if a resident is too weak to remove a self-releasing seatbelt. In that case the device becomes a restraint. There must be an assessment, a physician’s order and a consent from the resident or power of attorney holder. It also should be documented in the resident’s care plan. The physician’s order should include the reason for the seatbelt and when it should be worn or removed such as for activities and/or one-on-one supervision. If a seatbelt is placed on a wheelchair for therapeutic intervention, such as trunk control, and the resident can’t remove it, there still needs to be a physician’s order and a consent for the device.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
“We were devastated when our 31 year-old son was killed by a negligent driver. Kreisman Law Offices did everything to help us through this very difficult time, including coming out to the house several times which was a comfort. My wife and I were extremely pleased with Mr. Kreisman’s compassion and care for this very tragic and troubling time.” C.B.
★★★★★
“Bob Kreisman did everything possible in handling the trial of this case. It was devastating that I traumatically lost my leg above the knee in this truck accident. However, it was not an easy case to win. His staff was so prepared for the trial that it was not surprising that the settlement offers continued to rise until we finally accepted the multi-million settlement while the jury was still deciding the case. My wife and I were delighted that we could secure our future with this settlement. We thank Mr. Kreisman and his incredible staff for working so hard for our benefit.” T.P.
★★★★★
“My mother died because doctors dropped the ball. I called Robert Kreisman and he immediately set up an appointment for my entire family. We met at his offices and I was very comfortable that he would do the best for my dad and my brothers. He spent hours with all of us in preparing for depositions and he hired top notch experts, all of which contributed to an incredible settlement before trial. I know that he is dedicated to his cases and particularly to the people he works for and the people who work with him. He continues to be generous in contributing annually to my mother’s memory and to make known to the public the signs and symptoms of brain tumors.” V.S.
★★★★★
“My dad was ignored and mistreated at the nursing home that we placed him in. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we made a big mistake, particularly after my dad developed these terrible bedsores. We transferred him as we were contacting Mr. Kreisman. He was referred to us by a lawyer we have known for a long time and respect his opinion. Mr. Kreisman and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve this case. We were fortunate to have his services and will recommend him to anyone.” T.J.
