Health deficiencies cited at Belle Teche Nursing & Rehab Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A high fall-risk resident with severe cognitive impairment and a care plan requiring the bed to be kept in the lowest position was left with the bed elevated after a CNA, who observed the unsafe bed height during rounds, chose not to enter the room, lower the bed, or notify nursing staff. Minutes later, a visitor heard the resident yelling and found the resident on the floor near the bed, complaining of hip and leg pain. The resident was sent to the ER, where imaging showed a displaced intertrochanteric femur fracture requiring surgical repair. The facility’s investigation and video review confirmed that the CNA recognized the elevated bed and failed to intervene, in violation of fall prevention policies and the abuse/neglect policy.
A resident with a stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer, hemiplegia, chronic skin ulcers, bilateral leg contractures, and Type 2 DM had extensive missing CNA documentation for turning and repositioning care in the electronic kiosk system over multiple days and shifts. Facility policy required CNAs to document all tasks, including refusals, each shift. The resident reported that CNAs offered to turn him but he often refused, and a CNA confirmed frequent refusals and the expectation to notify the nurse and document these in the kiosk. The DON and administrator verified that CNA task records lacked required entries and initials for turn/reposition tasks, resulting in incomplete and inaccurate medical records.
A resident with Alzheimer's and dementia, assessed as a definite risk for wandering, did not have a care plan addressing this risk. This deficiency was confirmed by facility staff during a record review.
Neglect Related to Failure to Maintain Bed in Low Position for High Fall-Risk Resident
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to protect a resident from neglect by not ensuring the resident’s bed was maintained in the lowest position as required by the care plan and fall prevention policies. The resident had a documented history of high fall risk, including a fall risk assessment score of 17 in November 2025 and 19 in March 2026, and was on the facility’s Falling Star Program per physician orders. The resident’s care plan, initiated in September 2021, specifically directed staff to keep the bed in the lowest position with wheels locked to prevent falls and fall-related injuries. The facility’s Fall Prevention Program policy also required identification of high-risk residents and elimination of environmental hazards, including appropriate bed height. On the morning of 03/13/2026 at approximately 6:50 a.m., a CNA assigned to the resident’s care conducted quick rounds on the hall where the resident resided. As she walked down the hallway, she observed that the resident’s door was open and saw from the hallway that the resident’s bed was not in its lowest position. Despite recognizing that the bed was elevated and acknowledging that she knew the bed should have been in the lowest position for this resident, the CNA did not enter the room, did not lower the bed, and did not notify the nurse or other staff about the unsafe bed height. She continued walking toward the dining room to perform breakfast meal service duties, assuming that other staff would get the resident out of bed. At approximately 6:59 a.m., about nine minutes after the CNA observed the bed in a raised position and failed to intervene, a visitor walking down the hall heard the resident yelling. The visitor looked into the room and saw the resident lying on the floor near the bed and alerted housekeeping staff, who then notified the LPN and DON. Staff observed the resident on the floor, yelling out and complaining of left hip and leg pain, with bruising noted to the left temple and left leg shortening. Emergency medical services were contacted, and the resident was transported to the emergency room. Hospital x-rays taken that morning revealed a left femoral intertrochanteric fracture with displacement and surrounding soft tissue swelling, and the resident subsequently underwent surgery with intramedullary nailing of the left femur on 03/16/2026. The facility’s investigation, including review of video footage and staff interviews, confirmed that the CNA had identified the elevated bed and did not act, constituting neglect as defined in the facility’s Abuse/Neglect policy.
Failure to Accurately Document CNA Turning and Repositioning Care
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to maintain accurately documented medical records in accordance with its own policies and accepted professional standards. Facility policies required CNAs to document all care tasks, including turning and repositioning, in the electronic kiosk system every shift, regardless of shift length, and specified that kiosk documentation was mandatory and not optional. Review of one resident’s electronic medical record showed extensive gaps in CNA documentation of turn and reposition tasks across multiple dates and shifts in February and March 2026. The CNA task records did not contain initials or entries indicating that turning/repositioning was completed or refused on numerous days. The affected resident had significant medical conditions, including a stage 4 sacral pressure ulcer, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, non-pressure chronic skin ulcers, chronic embolism and thrombosis of the left femoral vein, bilateral leg contractures, and Type 2 DM. During interviews, the resident reported that CNAs did offer to turn him but that he often refused, preferring to remain on his back. A CNA familiar with the resident confirmed that he frequently refused turning despite being educated on its importance, and stated that CNAs were supposed to notify the nurse and document refusals in the kiosk under the turn/position task. The DON and the administrator both confirmed that CNA task records for turning/repositioning were missing documentation on multiple days and that CNAs were expected to document completed tasks and refusals each shift, which had not occurred for this resident.
Failure to Develop Person-Centered Care Plan for Wandering Risk
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a person-centered care plan for a resident with a history of wandering and elopement risk. The resident, admitted to the Dementia Unit with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, dementia, alcohol dependence, opioid dependence, history of repeated falls, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder, was assessed as a definite risk for wandering on multiple occasions. Despite these assessments, the resident's care plan did not include any goals or interventions to monitor for wandering or elopement. This deficiency was confirmed by the Clinical Care Coordinator and the Assistant Director of Nursing during a record review.
