Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at River Valley Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not provide a private space for resident council meetings, resulting in multiple staff interruptions during a meeting held in the dining room. Staff entered the room without knocking, causing residents to stop speaking, and the Activities Director confirmed that such interruptions are common. This failed to meet the facility's policy requiring privacy and non-interference for resident council meetings.
Three resident rooms were found with unresolved maintenance issues, including a bathroom door with peeling wood and a loose hinge, a damaged and rotting windowsill, and a hole in the wall behind a bed. The Maintenance Director and Administrator confirmed these issues had not been reported or logged for repair, despite established processes for daily room checks and maintenance requests.
A resident with dementia who required assistance with personal hygiene was observed to have unaddressed facial hair over multiple days. The CNA reported the resident could not shave herself and had requested help from a nurse due to a chin bump, but was unsure if the hair was removed. There were no documented refusals of personal hygiene, and the DON stated staff should attempt facial hair removal daily or when observed.
Surveyors found that the facility did not update nurse staffing postings at the beginning of each shift, instead posting staffing data for the entire day at the start of the day shift and updating only as needed. This practice was confirmed by facility leadership during interviews.
Failure to Provide Privacy for Resident Council Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a private and uninterrupted space for resident council meetings, as required by their own procedural guidelines. During an observed resident council meeting, the meeting was held in the dining room, where staff members entered the room multiple times without knocking. One staff member from maintenance entered and remained in the room for approximately five minutes, causing residents to stop speaking until the staff member left. Another staff member entered later, spoke to a resident, and assisted them out of the meeting, again causing the residents to stop their discussion. Interviews with the Activities Director revealed that she typically leads the meetings, discusses facility updates, and addresses concerns immediately by involving supervisory staff. The Activities Director acknowledged that staff frequently enter the dining room during meetings to access the kitchen or assist residents, and that there are interruptions during council meetings. The facility's policy states that residents should be allowed to organize and meet without interference and that privacy should be provided, but these requirements were not met during the observed meeting.
Failure to Maintain Safe and Homelike Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and homelike environment in three resident rooms. In one room, the bathroom door had peeling wood at the base and dragged and scratched the floor due to a loose hinge. The Maintenance Director confirmed these issues during inspection and stated there were no outstanding work orders for this room, and the maintenance log did not reflect any requests for repair. In another room, the windowsill was found to be damaged with depressed areas, peeling paint, and some rotten wood, which the Maintenance Director also confirmed had not been reported to him. A third room had a hole in the wall behind one of the beds, estimated to be approximately 8 inches long and 4 inches high, which the Maintenance Director was unaware of and attributed to the bed being pushed into the wall. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the maintenance request process involved staff writing work orders in a ledger system kept at each nurses' station, with maintenance technicians checking these logs daily. The Maintenance Director also performed monthly walkthroughs to identify needed repairs. Additionally, the Administrator described a rounding program where management staff checked rooms daily and submitted weekly reports, with any identified issues to be communicated to maintenance and logged for repair. Despite these processes, the deficiencies in the three rooms had not been identified or addressed prior to the survey.
Failure to Provide Adequate Facial Hair Grooming Assistance
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with dementia, who required partial/moderate assistance with bathing and set-up or clean up assistance with personal hygiene, was observed to have gray facial hair on her chin approximately 1/2 cm long over two consecutive days. The resident was unable to recall if staff had ever offered to remove her facial hair. Review of the resident's care plan and documentation indicated she required assistance with personal hygiene, and there were no documented refusals of personal hygiene services during the review period. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) reported that the resident was not capable of shaving herself and had always had chin hair since admission. The CNA had previously asked a nurse to assist with hair removal due to a bump on the resident's chin but was unaware if the hair was ever removed. The CNA had not reported the issue to any other nurse since then. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that staff are expected to attempt to remove facial hair daily or when observed. The failure to provide or offer adequate grooming assistance for facial hair led to the deficiency.
Failure to Post Nurse Staffing Data at Each Shift Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report nurse staffing data at the beginning of each shift as required. Observations on three separate days revealed that the facility posted staffing information for the entire 24-hour period at the start of the day shift, rather than updating the posting at the beginning of each shift. During an interview, the Administrator and Regional Clinical Manager confirmed that their practice was to post staffing data for a 24-hour period and then update it as needed, rather than specifically at the start of each shift.
