Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Perkins Country Manor during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, protein malnutrition, metabolic encephalopathy, severe cognitive impairment (BIMS 1/15), swallowing concerns, and on a mechanically altered diet with thin liquids required supervision and hands-on assistance with meals per the care plan. During a meal, a CNA fed this resident her entire meal while standing, rather than sitting at eye level as required by facility policies on resident rights and meal supervision, which emphasize dignity, proper positioning, and a relaxing mealtime environment. The CNA later explained she stood because another resident’s walker blocked her usual seating position and acknowledged she should have moved it, while the DON and Administrator confirmed their expectation that staff sit beside residents at eye level when providing feeding assistance.
The facility failed to store medications properly due to malfunctioning thermometers and inadequate monitoring, resulting in the medication refrigerator's temperature being outside the acceptable range. An LPN was unfamiliar with the process, and the Pharmacy Account Manager confirmed the unsafe temperature range, potentially affecting all residents.
The facility did not provide required written notifications to residents and their representatives prior to transfers or discharges, instead relying on verbal or text communication. Multiple residents with complex medical needs were transferred to hospitals without receiving written information about the reason, date, location, or their appeal rights, as confirmed by interviews and record reviews. Staff were unclear about the process, and the facility's policy was not followed.
The facility did not provide written notification of the bed hold policy and its duration to residents or their representatives during hospital transfers, instead relying on verbal communication or phone calls. Multiple residents with serious medical conditions were transferred to hospitals, and in each case, there was no documentation that written information about the bed hold policy was given as required by facility policy. Staff interviews confirmed that written notices were not routinely provided.
Failure to Maintain Resident Dignity During Mealtime Assistance
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency in resident dignity when a certified nursing assistant (CNA) fed a resident from a standing position while the resident was seated at the dining room table. The facility’s Resident Rights Policy stated that residents have the right to be treated with respect and dignity and to receive services with reasonable accommodation for their needs and preferences. The facility’s Meal Supervision and Assistance policy instructed that residents should be positioned with the head and upper body as upright as possible and that staff should provide a relaxing, enjoyable environment during mealtime. During observation of a meal service, CNA1 was seen feeding the resident her entire meal while standing, rather than positioning herself at eye level. The resident involved had late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, protein malnutrition, metabolic encephalopathy, and multiple co-morbidities, and was on a mechanically altered diet with thin liquids. Her most recent MDS showed a BIMS score of 1/15, indicating severe cognitive impairment, and documented swallowing concerns such as pocketing food and residual food after oral intake. She required supervision and intermittent hands-on assistance with meals, and her care plan required staff to assist with all meals and monitor for signs and symptoms of dysphagia. CNA1 later stated she usually sat beside the resident but stood on this occasion because another resident’s walker was in the way, and acknowledged she should have moved the walker and sat at eye level. The DON/IP and the Administrator both stated their expectation that staff assist residents with meals from an eye-level, seated position to support dignity and appropriate observation, confirming that the observed practice did not meet facility expectations.
Improper Storage of Medications Due to Temperature Control Failures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals were stored in accordance with currently accepted professional principles. On multiple occasions, the temperature of the medication refrigerator was found to be outside the acceptable range of 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. On 02/18/2025, the thermometer in the medication refrigerator was found stuck in a block of ice, reading 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and later, on 02/19/2025, a new thermometer indicated a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperature discrepancies were not identified promptly due to malfunctioning thermometers and inadequate monitoring by the staff. The facility's policy required daily monitoring and documentation of the medication refrigerator's temperature, but this was not effectively implemented. Interviews revealed that the night shift staff was responsible for checking temperatures, but there was a lack of awareness and training among the staff, as evidenced by an LPN who was unfamiliar with the process. The Pharmacy Account Manager and Registered Pharmacist confirmed that the temperatures recorded were not within the safe range for medication storage, indicating a failure in maintaining proper storage conditions for medications, which could potentially affect all residents in the facility.
Failure to Provide Required Written Notification for Resident Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide timely and appropriate written notification to residents and their representatives prior to transfer or discharge, as required by policy and regulation. In all nine cases reviewed, the facility did not supply written information detailing the reason, date, and location of the transfer, nor did it include a statement of the resident's appeal rights or contact information for the state Long-Term Care Ombudsman. Instead, notifications were often made verbally or via text message, and there was no evidence that written documentation was provided in a language and manner understood by the resident or their representative. Multiple residents with complex medical conditions, such as vascular dementia, hemiplegia following stroke, spina bifida, cirrhosis, and end stage renal disease, were transferred to hospitals for acute changes in their health status. In each instance, while family members or representatives were sometimes notified by phone or text, there was no documentation that the required written notice was given. Interviews with family members and residents confirmed that they did not receive paperwork explaining the reasons for transfer, the location, or their rights regarding the transfer. Staff interviews revealed a lack of clarity and consistency in the process for providing written transfer or discharge notices. Nurses and other staff members acknowledged that their usual practice was to notify families verbally and that they were unaware of who was responsible for providing the required written documentation. The facility's own policy stipulated that such notices should be provided, but this was not followed in practice, resulting in a systemic failure to meet regulatory requirements for resident notification during transfers or discharges.
Failure to Provide Written Bed Hold Policy Notification During Hospital Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide written notification to residents and their representatives regarding the duration of the bed hold policy during transfers to hospitals or therapeutic leave. In multiple instances, staff obtained verbal consent for bed holds or notified representatives of transfers by phone or text message, but there was no evidence that written notices or copies of the bed hold policy were sent to the residents or their representatives as required. This deficiency was identified for all nine residents reviewed who experienced hospital transfers. Several residents with complex medical conditions, such as pneumonia, COPD, vascular dementia, end stage renal disease, and spina bifida, were transferred to hospitals due to acute changes in their health status. In each case, documentation showed that family members or responsible parties were verbally informed of the transfer and, in some cases, of the bed hold option. However, there was no documentation that written information specifying the facility's bed hold policy and the duration for which the bed would be held was provided to the residents or their representatives. Interviews with staff, including the Business Office Manager (BOM), Director of Nursing (DON), and the Administrator, confirmed that the process relied on verbal communication and that written notices or copies of the bed hold policy were not routinely provided or mailed. Residents and their representatives also reported not receiving any paperwork or written information regarding the bed hold policy during hospitalizations. The facility's own policy required providing such written notice, but this was not followed in the cases reviewed.
