TAYLORVILLE — The Breeze-Courier received statements from both Taylorville Skilled Nursing and Rehab and Taylorville Care Center on Friday afternoon regarding the IDPH fines at their facilities.
Ken Hunter, the Media contact for Taylorville Skilled Nursing and Rehab, provided the following comment from Lacy Mossman, the CEO and Executive Director: “In February 2022, following our annual licensure survey, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) assessed a ‘violation’ on Taylorville Skilled Nursing and Rehab. This violation primarily concerned a specific, one-time circumstance involving medication administration to a single resident in February.
Immediately following IDPH’s assessment, Taylorville Skilled Nursing followed IDPH’s guidance and addressed the situation, which allowed us to fully adhere to the state’s guidelines. We have a very caring, compassionate atmosphere that views our residents like family members, and quickly addressing this concern follows that philosophy.”
Taylorville Care Center contact Janet Dobbs provided the paper with the following statement: “This violation was related to our annual survey several months ago and we have already put corrective measures in place to ensure our residents’ safety and well-being.”
