Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Diversicare Of Larned during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to follow EBP, hand hygiene, and shared equipment sanitizing practices. Staff entered a resident’s room for catheter care without EBP signage or readily available gowns, handled a catheter bag that had been on the floor, and reused soiled gloves while cleaning the catheter site. In a separate observation, CNAs provided incontinent care with glove changes that were not followed by hand hygiene and moved a mechanical lift out of the room without sanitizing it; staff also confirmed that EBP signage, PPE, hand hygiene, and lift sanitizing were not consistently done.
Failure to document and promptly resolve a grievance involving a resident’s missing sweaters. The resident had dementia, depression, and moderately impaired cognition, and her representative reported that two brand new sweaters were missing from the resident’s closet. Staff were aware of the issue and searched for the items, but the grievance was not logged, the matter remained unresolved, and a similar sweater placed in the closet was not reported to the representative.
A resident with heart disease and type 2 DM, who had intact cognition and needed assistance with ADLs after recent surgery, left the facility with a family member using a walker. The clinical record lacked a completed discharge recapitulation outlining the course of the resident’s stay, and staff confirmed the facility did not have a discharge summary system and did not complete the discharge summary or recapitulation; no discharge policy was provided.
A resident with bipolar disorder, depression, and psychotropic medication use had no care plan documentation for antipsychotic therapy despite aggressive behaviors, anger, and provider orders for Seroquel and risperidone. Another resident with stroke, hemiparesis, and dementia required total ADL assistance, but the care plan did not address facial hair or nail care, and observations showed unchanged facial hair, long nails, and residue under the nails.
A resident with stroke-related hemiparesis and dementia, who required total ADL assistance, was not provided nail care or facial hair removal as expected. Records showed inconsistent documentation of nail care and facial hair removal, and repeated observations found visible facial hair, long fingernails, and residue under most nails despite staff stating CNAs were expected to complete shaving and nail care on bath days or as needed.
Laundry Area Not Maintained in Safe and Sanitary Condition: Surveyors observed a trash bin full of trash without a cover beside the washing machine, along with ceiling discoloration, peeling paint, unfinished plaster, and a water stain in the laundry and folding rooms. Maintenance confirmed the conditions were from frozen pipes and stated he had no plan to repair the areas noted. The facility's Infection Control policy stated it is intended to maintain a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment for team members.
Failure to Follow EBP, Hand Hygiene, and Equipment Sanitizing Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate infection control practices related to Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP), hand hygiene, and sanitizing shared equipment. On the initial tour, there was no visible signage to identify residents who required EBP and no visible setup for PPE readily accessible to staff before entering resident rooms for direct care. The facility’s Infection Control Guide stated that EBP includes gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities and that laminated signs should be placed on resident doors to remind visitors and healthcare workers of needed precautions. During observation, two LNs entered a resident’s room to provide catheter care, but the room lacked EBP signage and the required PPE gowns were not available; gloves were available in the room. The resident’s catheter bag was on the floor, and one LN picked it up and hung it on the low bedrail where it remained in direct contact with the floor. She washed her hands, applied gloves, and proceeded with catheter care, repeatedly reaching into a cup for saline-soaked gauze with the same soiled gloves while cleaning the catheter insertion site. In another observation, two CNAs assisted a resident with incontinent care after a mechanical lift transfer. One CNA opened a drawer with gloved hands, sprayed peri wash directly on the resident, used a wet wipe from a container while the resident remained on a soiled wet brief, changed gloves without hand hygiene, and later assisted with positioning before using hand sanitizer. The mechanical lift was taken out of the room and placed in the hallway without being sanitized. Staff interviews confirmed that lifts were not always sanitized after use, that glove changes were not always followed by hand hygiene, and that residents with indwelling catheters and wounds should have had EBP with signage and readily accessible PPE.
Failure to Document and Resolve Missing Clothing Grievance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to document and promptly resolve a grievance when a resident reported missing clothing items. The resident had diagnoses of dementia and depression, and her Significant Change in Status MDS documented a BIMS score of 8, indicating moderately impaired cognition. She was dependent and required substantial to maximal assistance with ADLs. Her representative stated that two brand new sweaters with price tags were missing from the resident’s closet and that she informed an unnamed nurse aide and Administrative Staff A in December when the items were discovered missing. The Resident Grievance/Complaint Log from 10/1/25 to present did not contain documentation of the missing clothing grievance, although there were three concerns of missing items and two had been resolved favorably. Administrative Staff A stated he was aware of the missing sweaters but believed the issue probably was not documented, and said it had been discussed with the representative multiple times while remaining unresolved. Social Services X confirmed she was notified of the missing sweaters at the Christmas party, that staff searched for them, and that a similar sweater found later was placed in the resident’s closet without notifying the representative. Social Services X also verified that no official grievance had been logged regarding the situation. Housekeeping/Maintenance U stated she searched the laundry and other residents’ closets but could not find the sweaters.
Missing discharge recapitulation and discharge documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete a recapitulation of Resident 47’s stay in the facility. Resident 47 had diagnoses of atherosclerotic heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The admission MDS dated 10/02/25 documented a BIMS score of 15, indicating intact cognition. The care plan identified a self-care deficit related to recent surgery, low endurance, difficulty ambulating long distances, and the need for staff to offer a wheelchair and assist the resident to the dining room if needed. Staff were to provide supervision and touching assistance with toileting, showers, upper and lower dressing, footwear, sit-to-stand transfers, and ambulation with a front-wheeled walker. The progress note dated 11/23/25 at 4:47 PM stated that Resident 47 left the facility with a family member at approximately 4:45 PM with his four-wheeled walker, personal belongings, and medication, and that he ambulated independently with a walker out of the facility. The clinical record did not contain evidence of a completed recapitulation outlining the course of the resident’s stay. Social Services stated that monthly fax notifications are sent to the Ombudsman for resident discharges or hospitalizations, and Administrative Staff confirmed the facility did not have a discharge summary system and did not complete the discharge summary or recapitulation for Resident 47. The facility also failed to provide a discharge policy.
Incomplete care plans for psychotropic medication and ADL needs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident’s antipsychotic medication use. The resident had diagnoses of bipolar disorder and depression, and the record showed psychotropic medication use, including antianxiety and antidepressant medications. A psychotropic drug use CAA documented that the resident triggered for use of psychotropic medications to manage a psychiatric condition and stated that a care plan would be developed and/or reviewed to monitor the effectiveness of psychotropic medications, but the 01/06/26 care plan lacked documentation for an antipsychotic medication. The resident’s physician orders showed Seroquel 50 mg daily for bipolar disorder, ordered 11/20/25 and discontinued 12/04/25, and risperidone 0.25 mg twice daily for behaviors, ordered 12/04/25. Progress notes documented that the resident had aggressive behaviors and anger, and the provider noted the resident had a history of bipolar disorder and anxiety and had been started on Seroquel previously, but staff stated it had not made a difference in behavior. During observation and interview, the resident was ambulatory with a walker, reported being anxious about a rescheduled surgery, and stated she could get very angry quickly for no reason and had no one to talk to about her feelings. The facility also failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for another resident’s ADL needs. That resident had diagnoses of cerebral infarction, hemiparesis/hemiplegia, and dementia, with MDS assessments showing moderately impaired cognition in May 2025 and severely impaired cognition in November 2025. The resident required total assistance with all ADLs except setup for eating, and the functional abilities CAA triggered for assistance required with ADLs. The 01/06/26 care plan lacked any care plan regarding facial hair and nail care. Observations on multiple days showed visible facial hair above the upper lip, long fingernails on one hand, and brown residue under most fingernails, and these findings remained unchanged across the observations.
Failure to Provide Nail Care and Facial Hair Removal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to offer and provide assistance with nail care and facial hair removal for a resident who required total assistance with ADLs except for setup with eating. The resident had diagnoses of cerebral infarction, hemiparesis/hemiplegia, and dementia. Her MDS documented moderately impaired cognition in May 2025 and severely impaired cognition in November 2025, along with impairment in one upper and one lower extremity. Her care plan dated 01/06/26 lacked any care plan regarding facial hair and nail care. Bath and shower report sheets from 11/05/25 through 12/31/25 showed facial hair removal was marked no on all 13 sheets, while fingernails short/trimmed was marked yes only on 11/05/25 and no on the remaining 12 sheets. During observations on 01/06/26, 01/07/26, and 01/08/26, the resident was seen in the lounge with visible black and white facial hair approximately one-quarter inch long above her upper lip, long fingernails on her right hand, and visible brown residue under most of her fingernails. Staff interviews indicated CNAs were expected to assist with ADLs, including shaving and nail care, and that these tasks were to be completed on bath days or as needed, but the resident's observed condition remained unchanged across the observations.
Laundry Area Not Maintained in Safe and Sanitary Condition
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe, functional, and sanitary environment in the laundry area. During the laundry tour, surveyors observed a large yellow trash bin full of trash without a cover next to the washing machine, a brown discolored area with peeling paint and an unfinished strip of plaster on the laundry room ceiling above the dump tank, and a brown water stain on the folding room ceiling along the junction of the ceiling and wall over the folding table. Maintenance Staff V confirmed the findings and stated the stains occurred when the pipes froze, and he reported that he did not have a plan to repair the areas noted. The facility policy on Infection Control stated that the center's infection control policies and practices are intended to facilitate maintaining a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment for team members.
