State health officials suspended the license of Union Printers Home on Tuesday, February 11th. The facility has been shut down and now more than 100 residents must be relocated to another facility over the next several weeks.
Both the nursing home and assisted living facility are currently under investigation by the Department of Public Health and Environment. Findings from previous investigations have uncovered a pattern of non-compliance, failing to provide consistently safe care to its residents.
According to department data, the list of violations over the past few years include:
2019 saw the most number of inspections at 16 and infractions at 43. The health citations are three times the state and U.S. national average with the facility ranking far below par.
Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect is not uncommon. It can happen anywhere, including in Wisconsin. This type of behavior and complete disregard for the well-being of residents also affects their families. Wisconsin’s Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) is responsible for protecting and promoting the health, safety and welfare of residents living in these and other assisted living facilities.
There are three options to file a complaint with the DQA:
You may even be eligible to take legal action on your loved one’s behalf for the pain and suffering and other damages suffered at the hands of a negligent nursing home.
