Health deficiencies cited at Riverside Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to update the PASRR Level I for a resident to include a diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder, despite the resident receiving medication for anxiety. The oversight was acknowledged by the DON, who stated that anxiolytic medications should prompt an update to the PASRR. The facility's policies require screening for mental disorders, but the resident's current mental health needs were not accurately reflected, leading to the deficiency.
A resident with a Stage 4 pressure ulcer did not receive prescribed Tylenol before wound care, resulting in pain during the procedure. The resident's care plan required medication 30-60 minutes prior to treatment, but the EMAR showed no record of administration. The wound care nurse did not assess the resident's pain or offer additional medication during the procedure.
A facility failed to update a resident's nutritional care plan to reflect the current physician's order for tube feeding formula. The resident, who was severely cognitively impaired and dependent on a PEG tube for feeding, was receiving Jevity 1.5, but the care plan incorrectly listed Isosource 1.5. The dietary technician admitted to forgetting to update the care plan, resulting in a discrepancy between the care plan and the physician's order.

The resident confirmed that they usually receive medication before care, which helps with discomfort.
Failure to Update PASRR for Resident with Anxiety Disorder
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) Level I for a resident was accurately completed. The deficiency was identified when it was found that the PASRR Level I dated 09/15/2023 for a resident did not include an updated diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder, despite the resident having a medical diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder Unspecified. The resident was observed to be slightly anxious and was receiving Buspirone for anxiety, which was not reflected in the PASRR documentation. The PASRR Level I only identified Depressive Disorder and Insufficient Sleep Syndrome, and did not check the section for Serious Mental Illness (SMI). The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged that anxiolytic medications should prompt an update to the PASRR, but it was overlooked. The facility's policies and procedures require that all new admissions and readmissions are screened for mental disorders, intellectual disabilities, or related disorders per the Medicaid PASRR process. However, the oversight in updating the PASRR documentation led to the deficiency, as the resident's current mental health needs were not accurately reflected in the PASRR, which is crucial for determining the appropriate level of care and interventions needed.

Failure to Administer Pain Medication Before Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate pain management interventions for a resident with a Stage 4 pressure ulcer, leading to discomfort during wound care treatment. The resident had an order to be medicated with Tylenol 30-60 minutes before wound care, but this was not followed, as evidenced by the absence of documentation in the Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) indicating that the medication was administered prior to the procedure. During the wound care observation, the resident expressed pain by moaning and yelling, yet the wound care nurse did not stop to assess the pain level or offer additional pain medication. The resident, who is cognitively intact, was admitted with a diagnosis of a Stage 4 pressure ulcer developed in the facility. The care plan included goals for the pressure ulcer to show signs of healing and remain free from infection, with interventions to administer medications as ordered and monitor for side effects and effectiveness. However, the failure to administer the prescribed pain medication before wound care was a deviation from the care plan and the facility's policy, which requires medication to be given prior to wound care to promote healing and ensure resident comfort.

Inaccurate Documentation of Nutritional Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately document a nutritional care plan for a resident receiving tube feeding. During observations, it was noted that the resident was receiving Jevity 1.5 at a rate of 50 ml/hr via a PEG tube, as per the physician's order. However, the care plan, which was revised in February 2025, incorrectly listed Isosource 1.5 as the tube feeding formula. This discrepancy between the care plan and the physician's order was confirmed during an interview with the dietary technician, who admitted to forgetting to update the care plan. The resident involved was severely cognitively impaired and dependent on assistance for activities of daily living, including feeding via a PEG tube. The resident's care plan was supposed to address potential nutritional and hydration deficits, but it failed to reflect the current physician's order for the tube feeding formula. The facility's policy requires that care plans be comprehensive and person-centered, with revisions made as the resident's condition changes. However, the dietary technician did not update the care plan to reflect the change in the tube feeding formula, leading to the deficiency.

Inaccurate Documentation of Nutritional Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately document a nutritional care plan for a resident, identified as Resident #31, which led to a discrepancy between the care plan and the physician's order. The resident was observed receiving tube feeding at a rate of 50 milliliters per hour, consistent with the physician's order for Jevity 1.5. However, the care plan inaccurately listed Isosource 1.5 as the prescribed formula, which was not updated to reflect the current physician's order. The resident, who was initially admitted and later readmitted to the facility, has a diagnosis that requires attention to nutritional and hydration needs. The resident is severely dependent on assistance for activities of daily living and requires tube feeding as part of their care. The physician's order specified Jevity 1.5 at 50 ml/hr for 20 hours, with specific times for the feeding to be turned off and on. Despite this, the care plan was not updated to match the physician's order, leading to a discrepancy in the documented care plan. During an interview, a dietary technician acknowledged the oversight, stating that the care plans are updated quarterly or when changes occur, but admitted to forgetting to update the care plan in this instance. The facility's policy requires comprehensive, person-centered care plans that are revised as residents' conditions change, but this was not adhered to in the case of Resident #31, resulting in the documented deficiency.

Failure to Administer Prescribed Medication Before Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate and appropriate healthcare for a resident, as evidenced by the failure to administer prescribed medication prior to a care treatment. The resident had an order to be medicated 30 to 60 minutes before care treatment to ensure comfort, but this order was not followed. During an observation of the resident's care, the resident expressed discomfort and pain, indicating that the medication was not administered as required. The care nurse responsible for the resident's treatment did not stop to assess the resident's pain level or offer additional medication when the resident showed signs of discomfort. The nurse stated that they would call the doctor if there were any changes in the resident's condition and explained that they usually medicate residents 30 to 60 minutes before care. However, the Electronic Medication Administration Record (EMAR) showed no documentation of the medication being administered as ordered prior to the care treatment. The resident confirmed that they usually receive medication before care, which helps with their discomfort, but they were unsure if they were medicated on the day of the observation. The facility's policy on care procedures emphasizes the importance of verifying physician orders and documenting how the resident tolerated the procedure, but these steps were not adequately followed in this instance.
