Connecticut”™s Department of Public Health issued fines against nursing homes in Stamford and Danbury for resident care violations.
The state also fined Saint John Paul II Center in Danbury $3,270 for an incident on Aug. 15, 2017, when a resident suffered a head injury and a broken arm while being moved. The nurse aide responsible for the patient failed to use a gait belt during the move.
