The most recent violations against Montrose are especially serious because they put residents’ safety and well-being at risk. These violations include:
Montrose was assessed with a $30,000 fine for repeated instances of inadequate nursing services.
According to a news article, inspectors noted staff failed to prevent resident-on-resident aggression and physical abuse.
Staff waited several days to provide proper medical care for a female resident known to have a history of respiratory failure. They finally had the woman taken to a hospital after finding her sitting in a chair, unresponsive.
An inspector also observed a nurse roughly treat a resident with a pressure sore. The resident, who was gasping and screaming in pain, was not offered anything for pain management. She was simply told to think “happy thoughts” during the obviously painful procedure.
Montrose, which is owned by Iowa developers Mark Holtkamp and Kevin Kidwell, has faced $75,472 in federal fines since 2022. In 2021, an administrative law judge ruled a nurse’s resignation due to unsafe staffing levels was justified. He also granted her unemployment benefits. In 2020, the home was cited for placing COVID-negative residents with positive ones and allowing COVID-positive staff to care for uninfected residents.
