Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Gardens Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to obtain food preferences for two residents was identified after one resident reported disliked items such as rice, carrots, and squash were still being served, and another resident said he was not asked about likes or dislikes and often received cold food. Review of the nutrition assessments and meal tracker showed no documented food preferences, despite the DM stating preferences were reviewed for new admissions and documented in the meal tracker.
A resident was discharged from a facility without the required 30-day notice following a suicide attempt. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had been living in the facility for six months, was transferred to a hospital and not allowed to return. The facility's administrator and DON decided against readmission, citing safety concerns, despite the resident's and his spouse's wishes to return. The facility's policy requires a 30-day notice for discharges, which was not adhered to in this case.
A resident was not allowed to return to the facility after hospitalization following a suicide attempt, despite the facility's bed-hold policy. The resident, who had been well-liked and had a history of paraplegia and depression, was informed that he could not return due to safety concerns. The facility did not provide the required 30-day discharge notice, and the decision was made by the Administrator and corporate staff.
Failure to Obtain Resident Food Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to obtain food preferences for two of three residents reviewed for food preferences, including Residents 63 and 119. During the initial tour, Resident 119 stated that food was always cold and sometimes did not taste good, and he was not aware of any substitution menu. On 12/08/2025, he was observed with a meal tray in his room; he ate the green beans and fish, stated the fish was warm, and said he did not eat the rice because he hated rice. He also stated that he hated carrots and squash and that dietary kept serving those items to him. He confirmed that no one had reviewed his preferences and that he had not met anyone from dietary to go over food preferences. Resident 63 stated that he did not want what was served most of the time because he did not like it and said the food was always cold 85% of the time. His plate contained green beans and rice, and he confirmed that no one had spoken to him about food preferences. Review of the initial nutrition assessments for Residents 63 and 119 showed that food preferences were not obtained. During interview, the Dietary Manager stated he met with new admissions within 24 to 48 hours and reviewed food preferences, but when he reviewed the meal tracker for Residents 63 and 119, he confirmed that nothing was documented. The Regional Director of Operations stated the Dietary Manager documented in the meal tracker and the dietitian documented preferences in the nutrition assessment, but both the meal tracker and nutritional assessments confirmed that food preferences were not addressed.
Failure to Provide 30-Day Discharge Notice
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a 30-day notice of discharge for a resident who was involved in a facility-initiated discharge. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had been living in the facility for six months, was discharged to a hospital following a suicide attempt. The facility did not engage in discharge planning for the resident to return to the community, and the discharge was unplanned, occurring on the same day as the transfer to the hospital. The resident's spouse, who was also his Power of Attorney, was not given adequate notice or time to prepare for the discharge. She was informed by the facility's administrator that she needed to collect the resident's belongings, indicating that the resident would not be allowed to return. The resident's spouse expressed distress over the situation, noting that the resident had a good rapport with the staff and was receiving beneficial physical therapy at the facility. The resident himself expressed regret over not being able to return to the facility, which he described as having a caring culture. The facility's administrator, along with the Director of Nursing, decided not to readmit the resident, citing concerns for the resident's safety and the facility's inability to meet his needs. Despite being advised by the Long Term Care Ombudsman to accept the resident back, the facility maintained its decision. The facility's policy requires a 30-day notice for discharges, except in certain circumstances, but the notice provided was on the same day as the transfer, not adhering to the policy requirements.
Facility Fails to Readmit Resident After Hospitalization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to permit a resident to return after hospitalization, violating the bed-hold policy. The resident, who was admitted for long-term care, was transferred to a hospital under the [NAME] Act after a suicide attempt. Despite the resident's desire to return and the facility's policy allowing for such a return, the facility refused readmission, citing an inability to meet the resident's needs due to his mental health crisis. The resident had been in the facility for six months and was well-liked by staff. He had a history of paraplegia, hypertension, and depression, among other conditions. The resident's wife, who was his Power of Attorney, was informed by the facility that she needed to collect his belongings, indicating that he would not be allowed to return. This decision was made despite the resident's expressed wish to return and the hospital's assessment that he was ready for discharge after his condition stabilized. Interviews with the resident, his wife, and hospital staff revealed that the facility's decision not to readmit him was based on the incident of self-harm and the belief that they could not ensure his safety. The facility did not provide the required 30-day notice for discharge, and the decision was made by the Administrator and corporate staff, despite warnings from the Long Term Care Ombudsman about potential fines for non-compliance with federal regulations.
