In November 2015, Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion underwent an inspection by the department. Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that a grievance was resolved in a timely manner and in accordance with facility policy. This failure affected 1 resident out of 7 residents reviewed for social services in a sample of 10 residents.

One resident who was interviewed on November 23, 2015 confirmed that the resident’s dentures were missing. The resident stated that he had a dental appointment but then had problem with blood pressure and went to a hospital. When he returned the Woodbridge staff and personnel didn’t know where his dentures were. The resident stated that the staff was informed about the missing dentures but they have had no answer since then. Nobody knew anything about it according to interviews. The resident stated that he would like to have his dentures. According to the resident, the dentures were never found or replaced. A staff member at Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion was interviewed and informed the resident that staff is still looking for the missing dentures.

The administrator of Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion was interviewed on November 24, 2015 and stated that the grievances should be resolved as soon as possible, within a timely manner in accordance with its policies and procedures.

During the same inspection in November 2015, based on interview and record review, the Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion failed to implement its policy and procedure regarding reporting allegations of abuse and ensure protection of residents. This failure affected 2 residents out of 4 who were reviewed for abuse. In an interview with staff, it was found that two residents became aggressive with each other. It was found that one resident assaulted another. A staff member was interviewed and stated that a resident was verbally aggressive with the other. Both residents stood up and were going to approach each other aggressively when a staff member got in the middle and asked residents to move away. During this altercation, one resident hit the other with a cane.

On health inspection, the Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion was found to be below average. With respect to staffing, the facility was rated much below average. The total number of licensed nurse staff hours per resident per day was 58 minutes which is more than a half hour shorter than the Illinois and national averages.

Licensed practical nurse hours per resident per day was found to be 31 minutes which was slightly below the Illinois average and 20 minutes below the national average.

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.
