Health inspections
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.

- E Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, policy review, and staff interview, the facility failed to follow infection control standards for 3 of 5 sampled residents (Resident #7, #12, and #71) observed during cares. Failure to follow infection control standards related to hand hygiene and glove use has the potential to spread infections throughout the facility.
- D Ensure a licensed pharmacist perform a monthly drug regimen review, including the medical chart, following irregularity reporting guidelines in developed policies and procedures.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the attending physician documented his/her rationale for continued use of a psychotropic medication for 1 of 5 sampled residents (Resident #3) reviewed for drug regimen. Failure to provide a rationale for continued use of an antianxiety medication may result in Resident #3 receiving an unnecessary medication and/or experiencing adverse consequences related to its continued use.
- D Ensure medication error rates are not 5 percent or greater.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a medication error rate of less than five percent for 3 of 6 supplemental residents (Residents #62, #68, and #77) observed during medication administration. Three medication errors occurred during staff administration of 37 medications, which resulted in an eight percent error rate. Failure to follow facility policy and failure to ensure correct labeling of medications may inhibit the effectiveness of the medication, cause subtherapeutic levels, and may have a negative impact on the resident's overall health.

- D Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, review of facility policy, and staff interview the facility failed to follow standards of infection control for 1 of 4 sampled residents (Resident #62) observed for morning cares. Failure of staff to perform hand hygiene after removing gloves has the potential to spread infection throughout the facility.

- D Keep residents' personal and medical records private and confidential.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and review of facility policy, the facility failed to promote privacy and confidentiality of medication administration records (MAR) on 1 of 2 Units (Badlands Unit) observed for medication administration. Failure to close the MAR may result in unauthorized viewing of resident records by other residents, unlicensed staff, and/or visitors.
- D Ensure each resident receives an accurate assessment.
Inspectors wroteTHIS IS A REPEAT DEFICIENCY FROM THE SURVEY COMPLETED ON 02/09/23. Based on observation, record review, review of the Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) 3.0 User's Manual (Version 1.18.11), and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure accurate coding of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for 2 of 4 sampled residents (Resident #7 and #51) reviewed with alarms. Failure to accurately complete the MDS does not allow each resident's assessment to reflect their current status/needs and may affect the development of a comprehensive care plan and the care provided to the residents.
- D Ensure services provided by the nursing facility meet professional standards of quality.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, review of standing orders, and staff interview, the facility failed to follow professional standards regarding physician's orders for 1 of 2 sampled residents (Resident #4) and 1 closed record (Resident #82) reviewed for insulin orders. Failure to follow the physician's order regarding notification of high blood sugar levels has the potential to result in adverse events.
- D Arrange for the provision of hospice services or assist the resident in transferring to a facility that will arrange for the provision of hospice services.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents' records contained the hospice election form for 2 of 2 sampled residents (Resident #72 and #189) receiving hospice services. Failure to obtain this document limits staff's ability to ensure coordination of care between the facility and the hospice.
- C Provide timely notification to the resident, and if applicable to the resident representative and ombudsman, before transfer or discharge, including appeal rights.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and facility policy review, the facility failed to provide the resident's representative with a completed notice of transfer for 3 of 4 sampled residents (Resident #11, #23 and #72) with hospital transfers. Failure to provide a written notice of transfer which included an appeal date does not allow the resident and/or their representative to make an informed decision regarding their rights.
