Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Clifford Chester Sims State Veterans Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a skin tear was observed with an undated dressing on the right forearm and without the ordered protective arm sleeves, while the record showed no physician order for the dressing. Another resident with diabetes had five blood glucose readings above the ordered call-physician threshold, received sliding-scale insulin, but had no documented follow-up glucose checks or nursing documentation that the MD or NP was notified.
The facility failed to follow its COVID-19 immunization policy for one resident. A resident had consent from the RP to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on admission, but the vaccine was not given and would have been deferred until the facility's next twice-yearly vaccine offering. The Risk Manager confirmed the resident had not received a COVID-19 vaccine since 2021, and the policy required the vaccine to be offered within 30 days of admission when consent was obtained.
Failure to follow wound care and insulin notification orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure treatment and care were provided in accordance with orders and professional standards for a resident with a skin tear and for a resident receiving sliding-scale insulin. One resident had hemiplegia and hemiparesis, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and severe cognitive impairment with dependence on staff for activities of daily living. He was observed multiple times with an undated dressing on his right forearm and was not wearing the ordered protective arm sleeves during the observations. His record showed a physician order for protective arm sleeves every shift, but there was no physician order for the wound dressing on the right forearm. A skin tear event note documented wound care and placement of a non-adhesive pad, but the dressing observed later was undated and the staff nurse stated the resident had not been wearing the sleeves for months because he would pull them off. A second resident with diabetes and no cognitive impairment had a physician order for Novolog U-100 insulin using a sliding scale, with instructions to call the MD when blood sugar was greater than 350. Review of the medication administration records showed five blood glucose results above 350, and the resident received 20 units of insulin for each result. However, there was no documented follow-up blood sugar check for any of the five elevated readings. There were also no nursing notes, nurse practitioner notes, or physician notes documenting that the physician or nurse practitioner was informed of the elevated blood sugar levels. During interviews, the DON confirmed the record lacked progress notes, physician notes, and nursing notes showing notification of the elevated blood sugars, and stated that critical results required direct and timely physician contact even if the physician was not present in the facility. A LPN stated that abnormal blood sugars were typically reported to the physician, followed by a recheck about 30 minutes later and documentation of the abnormal result and notification. The facility policy for blood glucose monitoring stated that the licensed nurse reviews results outside ordered parameters, evaluates the resident for signs and symptoms of hypo/hyperglycemia, notifies the physician per order, and documents physician notification and the resident’s response.
Failure to Offer COVID-19 Vaccine Within Required Timeframe
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its policy for administering COVID-19 vaccinations for 1 of 5 sampled residents, Resident #51. Review of the medical record showed the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], and the responsible party gave consent on 12/19/2025 for the resident to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. The record also showed the resident had not had a COVID-19 vaccine since 2021. During an interview on 06/25/2026, the Risk Manager confirmed Resident #51 had not received the COVID-19 vaccine despite the consent being obtained on admission. She stated the resident would have received the vaccine at the next facility COVID-19 vaccine offering in July because the facility offered the vaccine twice a year. She also confirmed the facility policy required the vaccine to be offered within 30 days of admission when consent was given, and the policy stated residents should be assessed for eligibility prior to or upon admission and offered immunization within 30 days unless medically contraindicated or already vaccinated with the recommended booster dose.
