In November 2015, Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion underwent an inspection by the department. Based on interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure that a grievance was resolved in a timely manner and in accordance with facility policy. This failure affected 1 resident out of 7 residents reviewed for social services in a sample of 10 residents.
One resident who was interviewed on November 23, 2015 confirmed that the resident’s dentures were missing. The resident stated that he had a dental appointment but then had problem with blood pressure and went to a hospital. When he returned the Woodbridge staff and personnel didn’t know where his dentures were. The resident stated that the staff was informed about the missing dentures but they have had no answer since then. Nobody knew anything about it according to interviews. The resident stated that he would like to have his dentures. According to the resident, the dentures were never found or replaced. A staff member at Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion was interviewed and informed the resident that staff is still looking for the missing dentures.
The administrator of Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion was interviewed on November 24, 2015 and stated that the grievances should be resolved as soon as possible, within a timely manner in accordance with its policies and procedures.
During the same inspection in November 2015, based on interview and record review, the Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion failed to implement its policy and procedure regarding reporting allegations of abuse and ensure protection of residents. This failure affected 2 residents out of 4 who were reviewed for abuse. In an interview with staff, it was found that two residents became aggressive with each other. It was found that one resident assaulted another. A staff member was interviewed and stated that a resident was verbally aggressive with the other. Both residents stood up and were going to approach each other aggressively when a staff member got in the middle and asked residents to move away. During this altercation, one resident hit the other with a cane.
On health inspection, the Woodbridge Nursing Pavilion was found to be below average. With respect to staffing, the facility was rated much below average.

Licensed practical nurse hours per resident per day was found to be 31 minutes which was slightly below the Illinois average and 20 minutes below the national average.
