Overview

Wesley Village in Macomb, Illinois has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is above average and recommended for families considering long-term care. It ranks #194 out of 665 facilities in Illinois, placing it in the top half, and #3 out of 4 in McDonough County, indicating only one local facility is rated higher. Unfortunately, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 5 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, with a 4-star rating and 0% turnover, meaning staff members tend to stay and are familiar with the residents' needs. On a positive note, Wesley Village has reported no fines, which is commendable. However, there are concerns, including failures to ensure safe kitchen conditions and proper infection control measures, which could potentially affect the health of residents. Additionally, there were instances where staff did not use required personal protective equipment when entering the rooms of COVID-positive residents, raising safety concerns. Overall, while Wesley Village has some strengths, families should be aware of the recent issues and ongoing challenges.

Based on record review and interview the facility failed to effectively monitor all infections in the facility. This failure has the potential to affect all 54 residents who currently reside in the facility. Finding Include: The Facility's Infection Control Policy dated 01/11/2024 documents The Infection Prevention and Control Program includes a system for preventing, identifying, reporting, investigating, and controlling infections and communicable diseases for all residents, staff, volunteers, visitors, and other individuals providing services under a contractual arrangement based upon the facility assessment conducted according to the regulatory requirements and follow accepted national standard. Surveillance: A system of surveillance designed to identify possible communicable disease or infections before they can spread to other persons in the facility. The Facility's October 2023, November 2023, December 2023, January 2024 and February 2024 Monthly infection control logs listed all infections for each respective month. None of these logs included information about whether or not the infection was community acquired or a house acquired infection. These logs also did not include when and if any of the listed infections were resolved. On 3/19/24 at 2:30 PM V4 (Registered Nurse/Infection Preventionist) confirmed that the infection surveillance logs do not indicate if the infections were community acquired or house acquired infections. V4 also confirmed that there were no resolution dates for the infections. V4 stated I know that there is a spot on the form that we should fill out if the infections are community based or house acquired, but I have never filled that part out. If there are no dates on the infection control logs for when those infections were resolved, I would have to go back through the charts of every resident who had an infection to get that information. I should put that on the form and start tracking it. The Resident Room Roster dated 3/17/24 lists 54 residents who currently reside in the facility.

Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to report, track and perform COVID-19 testing of an employee that displayed COVID-19 like symptoms prior to providing services to 11 residents (R4 through R14) of 17 residents reviewed for COVID-19 in a sample of 14. Findings include: The facility's Infection Surveillance - Employee policy dated 4/2023 documents Infection prevention begins with ongoing surveillance to identify infections that are causing, or have the potential to cause, an outbreak. The facility closely monitors all employees who exhibit signs/symptoms of infection through ongoing surveillance and has a systematic method for collecting, consolidating, and analyzing data concerning the frequency and cause of a given disease or event, followed by dissemination of that information to those who can improve the outcomes. The intent of surveillance is to identify possible communicable diseases or infections before they can spread to other persons in the facility. In addition, surveillance is crucial in the identification of possible clusters, changes in prevalent organisms, or increases in the rate of infection promptly. The results should be used to plan infection control activities, direct in? service education, and identify individual resident problems in need of intervention The outcome surveillance process consists of collecting/documenting data on individual cases and comparing the collected data to standard written definitions (criteria) of infections. The Infection Preventionist, department supervisor or other designated staff record reports of symptoms on the Employee Infection List/Log and/or other diagnostic test results consistent with potential infections to detect clusters and trends and to be able to identify and report evidence of a suspected or confirmed HAI (Healthcare-Associated Infection) or communicable disease. Sources of relevant data that can be used for outcome surveillance for infections and susceptibility may include: Reporting of fever or signs that may indicate an infection. Reporting of illness; including symptoms. Reporting of diagnostic test results consistent with potential infections to detect clusters, trends, or susceptibility patterns. R5's medical record dated 8/26/23 documents Resident's daughter called back, and requested a COVID test, reporting that her mother generally does not run fevers with UTIs (Urinary Tract Infection). (V2, Director of Nursing (DON)) was on the unit and a rapid swab was obtained. COVID swab was positive. R4, and R6's medical record documents they tested positive for COVID-19 on 8/26/23. R7 through R14's medical record documents they all tested positive for COVID-19 on 8/28/23. The facility's employee COVID-19 tracking sheet documents V7, Cook, tested positive for COVID-19 on 8/25/23. The facility's August 2023 employee infection surveillance tracking log does not document V7's, Cook, symptoms of COVID-19 prior to 8/25/23. The facility's dietary schedule dated 8/24/23 documents V7, Cook, worked on the memory care unit. On 9/14/23 at 10:05 AM, V3, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) stated I can't speak to what other employees do, but if we have symptoms of COVID, were supposed to notify the nurse prior to coming into the building and they come out, test us for COVID and take our temperature. If we're cleared, we can work, but we have to test every day if symptomatic. Like right now I have stuffiness, but I test every day prior to coming in and have to have my temp checked. On 9/14/23 at 10:17 AM, V6, Registered Nurse (RN) stated The employees are supposed to notify us before coming into the building if they have symptoms. If they do come in, we immediately send them out to their car. We go out to their car, perform a COVID test, take their temperature and then document their symptoms. If they're negative, we contact the on call, DON (Director of Nursing) or the administrator to find out if they're cleared to come in to work. If they're positive, they have to go home, and we still have to contact the DON and administrator to let them know there's a positive employee. On 9/10/23 at 10:50 AM, V7, Cook, observed in the kitchen on the memory care unit preparing resident meals. V7, [NAME] stated I came to work on Tuesday (8/22) with a sore throat. I didn't think much of it because that happens. I'll have a sore throat in the morning, but then it goes away. When I got home, I tested for COVID, and it was negative. The next day (8/23) I was still sick, so I went to clinic and tested, and it was negative. On Friday (8/24) I came to work with a stuffy nose, sore throat and my ears were popping. I didn't test before coming into work. No, I didn't report my symptoms to anyone, but they kind of knew. I sounded like a frog. The next day (8/25/23) I tested at home and was positive and notified my supervisor. I did not report my symptoms on 8/22 or 8/24 to the facility. On 9/14/23 at 10:57 AM, V2, DON, stated Anytime an employee is sick, they have to call from the parking lot and inform the nurse they're symptomatic and the nurse will go out, take their temperature and give them a COVID test. They are not to be in the building working with symptoms unless cleared by one of the nursing supervisors. They are required to report symptoms prior to working. I was not aware that (V7, Cook) came to work sick without testing, she should have tested prior to working. On 9/14/23 at 12:38 PM, V2, DON stated (R5) was the first one to test positive on 8/26. We then tested everyone on the unit and her roommate (R6) and (R4) tested positive, but no one at that point. We do days one, three and five for testing and on day three of the testing the rest of the unit tested positive.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed document a diagnosis and clinical indication to warrant the initiation of an antipsychotic for R14; and failed to comprehensively evaluate and assess R34 for underlying conditions or stressors, non-pharmacological behavioral interventions, and psychotropic drug use prior to starting an anti-psychotic medication. These failures have the potential to affect two of six residents (R14, R34) reviewed for anti-psychotic medication use in the sample of 25. Findings include: The facility's Psychotropic Medication Policy undated documents, Procedure: Prior to the administration of a psychotropic medication, the following includes a process for the IDT (Inter-Disciplinary Team) and resident/resident representative to participate in the care process: b.) Antipsychotic Medication: Diagnoses alone do not necessarily warrant the use of an antipsychotic medication. Antipsychotic medications may be indicated if: Behavioral symptoms present a danger to the resident or others. Expression or indications of distress that are significant distress to the resident. If not clinically contraindicated multiple non-pharmacological approaches have been attempted but did not relieve the symptoms which present a danger or significant distress. If antipsychotic medications are prescribed, documentation must clearly show indication for the medication, multiple attempts to implement care planned, non-pharmacological approaches and ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of these interventions. 2. A psychotropic drug assessment will be completed on admission, quarterly, and significant change in condition. The assessment will be reviewed by the IDT to help identify resident's needs, goals, comorbid conditions, and prognosis to determine factors that are affecting signs, symptoms, and test results. This evaluation process is important when selecting initial medications and/or non-pharmacological approaches and when deciding whether to modify or discontinue a current medication. Attempt to identify underlying cause for behavioral symptoms. This will include an evaluation of a resident's physical, behavioral, mental, and psychosocial signs and symptoms, to identify the underlying causes, including adverse consequences of medications. The evaluation will also consider each resident's goals and preferences, allergies to medications and foods, a history of prior and current medications and non-pharmacological interventions, recognition of the need for end-of-life or palliative care and the basis for declining care, medication, and treatment and the identification of pertinent alternative as well as documented indications of distress, delirium, or other changes in functional status. 3. Psychotropic medications may be used to treat an enduring condition. Before initiating or increasing a psychotropic medication for enduring conditions, the resident's symptoms and therapeutic goals must be clearly and specifically identified and documented. Not due to a medical condition or problem (example: pain, fluid or electrolyte imbalance, infection, constipation, medication side effect or polypharmacy) that can be expected to improve or resolve as the underlying condition is treated or the offending medication are discontinued. Not due to environmental stressors alone that can be addressed to improve the symptoms or maintain safety. Not due to psychological stressors alone that can be expected or improve or resolve as the situation is addressed. 1. On 03/06/23 at 11:41 AM, R14 was alert sitting up in her wheelchair in her room.

Is Wesley Village Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, WESLEY VILLAGE has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Illinois. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Wesley Village Stick Around?

WESLEY VILLAGE has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.

Was Wesley Village Ever Fined?

WESLEY VILLAGE has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Wesley Village on Any Federal Watch List?

WESLEY VILLAGE is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
