Nursing Home in Danbury Fined: Report

DANBURY, CT — Glen Hill Center in Danbury was fined $6,960 after a resident was mistakenly given two doses of insulin on the same day, according to the Connecticut Health I-Team.

The resident was found in the early morning of Dec. 6, 2018, sweating heavily, cool to the touch, unresponsive and with low blood sugar, according to the Department of Public Health. The resident was given orange juice and a dose of glucagon and responded well, according to the report.

Investigators discovered that the resident had been given a dose of long-acting insulin the morning of Dec. 5 and a physician later ordered a new, different dose starting at night.
