Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Civita Care Center At Long Ridge during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with vascular dementia, chronic A-fib, muscle weakness, and a care plan requiring one-person assist for transfers stumbled during a transfer to bed and struck the hip on a side rail. The NA completing the transfer did not report the incident to the nurse at the time, stating the resident did not fall, had no pain complaints, and was asleep at end-of-shift rounds. The next morning, staff noted hip discoloration and pain, notified the APRN, and sent the resident to the hospital. The facility could not provide a policy on incident reporting for surveyor review.
The facility did not procure food from approved or satisfactory sources and failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food according to professional standards.
A resident with quadriplegia and chronic pain, who was dependent on staff for bathing, did not consistently receive scheduled showers as per their care plan and physician's orders. Instead, the resident received bed baths on multiple occasions when showers were missed due to doctor appointments, and staff did not offer showers at alternative times. Documentation and staff interviews confirmed the inconsistency, with no evidence of shower refusals by the resident.
A resident with a history of stroke and cognitive intactness was transferred to the hospital, but the required bed hold notification was not provided to the resident or their representative as per facility policy. Documentation and staff interview confirmed that the bed hold form was neither signed nor sent to the family.
Staff did not initiate a care plan for a resident with dementia, even though the admission MDS assessment indicated it was needed. Facility policy required a comprehensive, person-centered care plan to be developed within a set timeframe, but this was not done until nearly six months after admission, contrary to policy requirements.
A resident did not receive sufficient food and fluids to maintain their health, as required. The facility failed to ensure the necessary provision of nutrition and hydration.
A deficiency was cited when a resident was not protected from various forms of abuse and neglect, as the facility did not ensure adequate safeguards against physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, or neglect by any individual.
A resident with multiple medical conditions experienced an unwitnessed fall with bruising, and the facility did not conduct a thorough investigation as required by policy. Staff who were present and provided care were not initially interviewed, and the investigation relied on limited statements, failing to fully determine the cause of the fall.
Failure to Timely Report Resident Hip Injury During Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure timely reporting of an accident when a resident hit his/her hip during a transfer. The resident had chronic atrial fibrillation, vascular dementia, muscle weakness, a BIMS score of 11 indicating moderately impaired cognition, and required partial assistance with transfers. The care plan identified the resident as a fall risk with agitation, restlessness, and a need for assistance with activities of daily living, with interventions specifying one staff assist for transfers. On the morning following the incident, nursing documentation noted discoloration and pain to the resident’s left hip, after which the APRN was notified and the resident was transferred to the hospital for evaluation. Facility investigation determined that on the prior evening, a nursing assistant transferred the resident to bed when the resident stumbled and hit his/her left hip on the side rail during the transfer. The nursing assistant reported that the resident did not fall, was turned and placed in bed, and had no complaints of pain during the shift, and that the resident was asleep during end-of-shift rounds. The assistant did not inform the nurse of the incident at the time it occurred. The Administrator and DNS confirmed that the investigation showed the resident had hit his/her hip on the side rail during the transfer and that the nursing assistant failed to notify the nurse. No facility policy regarding incident reporting was provided for surveyor review.
Failure to Follow Food Procurement and Handling Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to procure food from sources that are approved or considered satisfactory and did not store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards. This deficiency was identified during the survey process, indicating that the facility did not meet regulatory requirements for food safety and handling. No additional details about specific residents, staff, or events are provided in the report.
Failure to Provide Scheduled Showers per Resident Preference
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with quadriplegia and chronic pain, who was cognitively intact and dependent on staff for bathing and transfers, did not consistently receive showers as scheduled and per their preference. The resident's care plan, physician's orders, and the facility's shower schedule all indicated that the resident was to receive showers twice weekly, specifically on Wednesdays and Saturdays. However, clinical record review, resident interview, and staff interviews revealed that the resident had not received a shower for three weeks, instead receiving complete bed baths on scheduled shower days. Documentation showed the last shower was provided on 6/25/2025, with subsequent scheduled showers replaced by bed baths, and no evidence of shower refusals was found in the nursing notes. Staff interviews confirmed that showers were missed due to the resident's doctor appointments and that showers were not offered later in the day or on alternative days, as would be expected based on the resident's preference and facility policy. Nurse aides and an LPN could not consistently recall or document whether showers were provided or refused, and one nurse aide admitted to a documentation error regarding a shower. The Director of Nursing Services acknowledged that residents should be given the opportunity to have a shower at another time if missed due to appointments, but this was not done for the resident in question.
Failure to Provide Bed Hold Notification Upon Hospital Transfer
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when the facility failed to provide the required bed hold notification to a resident or the resident's representative upon transfer to the hospital. The resident, who had a history of hemiplegia, hemiparesis following a stroke, aphasia, and atrial fibrillation, was cognitively intact and required assistance with activities of daily living. Documentation showed the resident was transferred to the hospital and the responsible party was notified of the transfer. However, there was no evidence that the bed hold form was signed by the resident or sent to the resident's family. Facility policy requires that residents or their representatives be informed in writing of the bed-hold and return policy prior to transfers and therapeutic leaves. An interview with the ADNS confirmed that the bed hold form was neither signed by the resident nor mailed to the family, contrary to facility policy. Review of the clinical record and facility documentation confirmed the absence of the required written notification.
Failure to Initiate Dementia Care Plan for Resident
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to initiate a care plan for a resident with a diagnosis of dementia, despite the admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment indicating that dementia should be addressed in the care plan. The resident was admitted with dementia, and facility policy required that a comprehensive, person-centered care plan be developed within 7 days of the MDS assessment and no more than 21 days after admission. However, a review and interview with the Assistant Director of Nursing Services (ADNS) revealed that no dementia care plan had been initiated for the resident, and the omission was not identified or corrected until 177 days after admission. The facility's own policies emphasized the importance of individualized care planning for residents with dementia, including interventions for memory support, behavior management, safety, meaningful engagement, and consideration of resident routines and preferences.
Failure to Provide Adequate Nutrition and Hydration
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the facility's failure to provide adequate food and fluids necessary to maintain a resident's health. The report notes that the required provision of nutrition and hydration was not met, which is essential for the resident's well-being. Specific details about the actions or inactions leading to this deficiency, as well as information about the resident's medical history or condition at the time, are not provided in the report.
Failure to Protect Residents from Abuse and Neglect
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the facility's failure to protect each resident from all types of abuse, including physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by any individual. The report documents that residents were not adequately safeguarded from these forms of mistreatment, indicating lapses in the facility's protective measures and oversight.
Failure to Thoroughly Investigate Unwitnessed Fall with Bruising
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of an unwitnessed fall with bruising for one resident, as required by its own policy. The resident, who had diagnoses including coronary artery disease, hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, and essential tremors, was cognitively intact, used a wheelchair, and required assistance with personal care. After the resident reported a fall and alleged that two staff members assisted them up, the facility's investigation was limited to a single statement from a nurse who did not provide care to the resident on the date in question. Other staff who worked that evening and provided care were not initially asked to provide statements, and some could not recall the incident or the resident. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADNS) and Director of Nursing Services (DNS) acknowledged that statements were not collected as required, and the investigation was concluded without comprehensive staff input or clear identification of the cause of the fall. Facility documentation and interviews revealed inconsistencies and gaps in the investigation process. Staff who were present and assigned to the resident on the evening of the fall were not interviewed at the time, and some only provided statements after the fact, indicating they were unaware of the fall or did not observe any injuries. The facility's policy directed continued collection and evaluation of information until the cause of the fall was identified or determined to be unidentifiable, but this process was not followed. The deficiency centers on the facility's failure to respond appropriately to an alleged violation by not completing a thorough and timely investigation as per policy.
