Iowa Assisted Living Facility Faces Possible Loss of Licensure
The Dubuque Retirement Community faces the possible loss of its operating license if it does not improve its care of its residents.
The facility has accumulated fines in the amount of $6,500 from a complaint investigation involving the fall of one of its residents. The 92 year old resident fell in his or her apartment on November 3, 2008 around 3:00 a.m. and was not found for twelve hours. The facility was cited for failing to meet the resident's needs through sufficiently trained staff, including failure to administer medication.
In March 2009, the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals placed the facility on conditional certificate status, which is a step away from revocation. To read the investigation report, click here.
