Federal rules call for a standard inspection at least every 15 months, plus a visit whenever a complaint is filed. Each mark below is one citation, colored by how serious inspectors rated it. How to read a citation.
Under each citation, the quoted text is the inspector's own summary from the federal statement of deficiencies (CMS form 2567), word for word apart from a privacy scrub; CMS removes residents' and staff names before it publishes the text. The full notes are on Medicare.gov.
CMS rates every citation by how much harm it caused (rows) and how many residents it touched (columns). The count in each box is this home's, across all 10 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteThe facility had a census of 48 residents. The sample included 12 residents with eight reviewed for accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to identify causative factors for falls and implement meaningful, resident-centered interventions, including adequate supervision, to prevent falls for Resident (R) 13 who experienced repeated falls in the past year. The facility failed to assess interventions that were in place to ensure the interventions were appropriate and to monitor the effectiveness of the interventions. This deficient practice placed R13 at risk for ongoing falls and injuries.
Inspectors wroteThe facility had a census of 48 residents. The sample included 12 residents. Based on observation, record review, and interview the facility failed to ensure an appropriate indication for the use of an antipsychotic (a class of medications used to treat a mental disorder characterized by gross impairment testing) or the required physician documentation for two of five residents, Resident (R) 26, and R31, reviewed for unnecessary medications. This placed the residents at risk for unnecessary psychotropic (alters mood or thought) medications.
Inspectors wroteThe facility had a census of 48 residents. The sample included 12 residents with two reviewed for hospice (a type of health care that focuses on the terminally ill patient's pain and symptoms and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs at the end of life) services. Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure a coordinated plan of care, which coordinated care and services provided by the facility with the care and services provided by hospice, was developed and available for Resident (R)16 and R11. This placed the residents at risk for inadequate end-of-life care.
Inspectors wroteThe facility had a census of 48 residents. The sample included 12 residents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure staff followed appropriate infection control standards related to a urinary catheter (a tube inserted into the bladder to drain the urine into a collection bag) care for Resident (R) 19. This deficient practice placed R19 at increased risk for infections.
Inspectors wroteThe facility had a census of 45 residents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to employ a certified dietary manager to supervise the preparation of meals and organization in the facility's kitchen. This deficient practice placed the 45 residents who received meals from the kitchen at risk for receiving inadequate nutrition.
Inspectors wroteThe facility had a census of 45 residents. The sample included 12 residents with one reviewed for accidents. Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to review or revise Resident (R)37's care plan with interventions which addressed the causative factor to prevent further falls after he slid out of his recliner or off his bed numerous times. This deficient practice placed R37 at risk for injuries related to falls.
