Oklahoma nursing home still hasn't paid fine
LTC Liability Monitor, September 15, 2005
A Tulsa, OK-based SNF-closed since an inspection last summer found a wide range of violations and negligent conditions-has yet to pay a $450,000 fine imposed by the Oklahoma Health Department, according to ChannelOklahoma.com. It is the largest fine of its kind in Oklahoma state history. A July 2004 inspection of the Hominy Nursing Home turned up more than 50 deficiencies, including 16 that would reportedly put residents in immediate danger.
Some residents were sexually assaulted, the inspection report detailed, and staff members often punished residents by denying them baths or withholding cigarettes and other privileges. Hominy also had no registered nurse on duty for months, lacked an inspection control program, and had administrators who falsified documents, ChannelOklahoma.com reported.
Oklahoma Nursing Homes, which owns Hominy and still continues to operate an additional 11 homes in the state, has appealed the fine three times, according to KFOR-Oklahoma City.
