Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Chateau Terrebonne Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Incomplete eMAR Documentation for Multiple Residents: The DON and Administrator confirmed that medication administration records were not accurate and complete for three residents. One resident with multiple chronic conditions, including DM, DVT, COPD, and psychosis, had missing documentation for several scheduled meds and BG checks; a second resident with hyperlipidemia, DM, and a prior MI had missing documentation for several cardiac, diabetes, and anticoagulant meds plus BG checks; and a third resident with major depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms had missing documentation for donepezil and olanzapine.
A resident’s consultant pharmacist recommended a GDR for duloxetine, and the physician later ordered the medication discontinued, but the drug remained on the active MAR and was still administered. Survey review found no evidence the pharmacist identified, reported, or followed up on the continued administration after the discontinuation order, and the DON confirmed the medication was still being given despite the accepted recommendation.
Unclean Tube Feeding Pole Base: A resident's tube feeding pole base was repeatedly observed with an unidentified dried white, tan, and sticky substance on multiple checks. The DON confirmed the equipment was not maintained in a sanitary manner, despite the facility policy requiring a clean, sanitary, and orderly environment.
The facility failed to assess two residents for self-administration of medications. One resident with moderately impaired cognition was left to self-administer medications, which she did selectively, while another resident with intact cognition was left with medication to self-administer without proper assessment. Staff confirmed that these actions were against the facility's policy.
A resident with chronic respiratory failure received unsanitary tracheostomy care when the RT inserted a contaminated inner cannula after it fell onto the bed linen. Both the RT and the Respiratory Director confirmed that a new inner cannula should have been used.
Incomplete eMAR Documentation for Multiple Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure resident medication administration was accurately documented in the medical record for 3 sampled residents. The facility’s Charting and Documentation policy required documentation to be complete and accurate, and its medication administration policy required the person administering medication to sign the eMAR after giving each medication and before administering the next ones. On 05/06/2026, the DON was asked to provide the February 2026 and March 2026 medication administration records for the three residents. For one resident with diagnoses including hyperlipidemia, allergic rhinitis, GERD, psychosis, insomnia, type 2 diabetes, DVT, overactive bladder, and COPD, the February and March 2026 eMAR showed no documented evidence of administration of rivaroxaban on two dates at 5:00 PM, and no documented evidence of multiple bedtime medications on three dates, including atorvastatin, cetirizine, famotidine, olanzapine, trazodone, metformin, oxybutynin, and budesonide-formoterol. The record also lacked documented evidence that capillary blood glucose was checked on the ordered dates and times. For a second resident with diagnoses including hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, heart attack, and hypercholesterolemia, the eMAR lacked documented evidence of carvedilol and metformin administration on ordered dates and times, as well as atorvastatin, insulin degludec, apixaban, and omega-3 fatty acid on three bedtime dates. The record also lacked documented evidence that capillary blood glucose was obtained at the ordered times. For a third resident with major depressive disorder with psychotic symptoms, the eMAR lacked documented evidence that donepezil and olanzapine were administered on three bedtime dates. The DON confirmed the eMARs were not accurate and complete, and the Administrator stated the facility could not provide documented evidence to dispute the deficient practice.
Pharmacist GDR Recommendation Not Implemented
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure unnecessary medications were reduced and failed to ensure physician-accepted gradual dose reduction recommendations made by the consultant pharmacist were implemented for one resident reviewed for unnecessary medications. The facility’s policy required medications to be administered in accordance with physician orders. A Pharmaceutical Consultant Report dated 01/07/2026 showed the consultant pharmacist recommended a dose reduction for duloxetine 30 mg at bedtime, a medication used to treat major depressive disorder. Review of the resident’s physician orders showed an order dated 01/19/2026 to discontinue duloxetine 30 mg at bedtime, but the medication remained on the active order list on 05/01/2026. The MAR showed duloxetine 30 mg continued to be administered on 05/01/2026, 05/02/2026, 05/03/2026, and 05/04/2026. Survey review found no evidence that the consultant pharmacist identified, reported, or followed up on the continued administration after the discontinuation order was written. The DON confirmed the physician accepted the consultant pharmacist’s recommendation, but the medication continued to be administered and remained active in the resident’s orders.
Unclean Tube Feeding Pole Base
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure Resident #95's environment was clean and sanitary when the base of the resident's tube feeding pole was observed with an unidentified dry white and tan substance, and later with ten to fifteen spots of an unidentified dried sticky tan substance of varying size on multiple observations. The facility's Quality of Life Homelike Environment Policy stated that the environment would be clean, sanitary, and orderly. During interview, the DON confirmed that Resident #95's tube feeding pole base had a dried sticky substance and was not maintained in a sanitary manner, and stated that resident equipment should be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner at all times.
Failure to Assess Residents for Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to assess residents for self-administration of medications, as evidenced by the cases of Resident #9 and Resident #61. Resident #9, who had moderately impaired cognition with a BIMS score of 9, was observed with disposable medicine cups containing multiple pills on her overbed table on several occasions. Despite her cognitive impairment, Resident #9 was left to self-administer her medications, which she did selectively, leaving some pills because they caused her discomfort. Interviews with staff confirmed that medications were left at Resident #9's bedside, contrary to the facility's policy and without a proper assessment for self-administration capability. Similarly, Resident #61, who had intact cognition with a BIMS score of 15, was observed with a disposable medicine cup containing phosphate binders on his overbed table. The nurse had left the medication for Resident #61 to self-administer with his lunch, again without a proper assessment for self-administration. Interviews with the DON and the Quality Improvement Nurse confirmed that neither Resident #9 nor Resident #61 had been assessed for their ability to self-administer medications, which is a requirement according to the facility's policy.
Unsanitary Tracheostomy Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's tracheostomy care was completed in a sanitary manner. Resident #90, who had diagnoses of cardiorespiratory conditions and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, was observed receiving tracheostomy care. During the procedure, the respiratory therapist (RT) dropped the inner cannula onto the resident's bed linen. Despite this, the RT proceeded to insert the contaminated inner cannula into the resident's tracheostomy stoma. This action was confirmed by the RT and the Respiratory Director, both acknowledging that a new inner cannula should have been used instead. The resident's care plan and physician's orders specified that tracheostomy care should be performed twice daily, and the inner cannula should be changed once daily. However, the RT's failure to maintain sanitary conditions during the tracheostomy care procedure led to a breach in the resident's care protocol. The incident was observed and confirmed through interviews with the RT and the Respiratory Director, who both admitted that the correct procedure was not followed.
