Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Jeff Davis Living Center, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with legal blindness, dermatitis, RA, unsteadiness on feet, cognitive communication deficit, and a hx of falls was found in a bathroom with a dirty shower chair, black film-like buildup on the shower walls and floor, and dirty washcloths left on the shower floor after care. Staff confirmed the shower was dirty before the shower was given and that the resident’s sippy cup, used daily to rinse her mouth, also had black substance inside it and should have been cleaned.
Failure to Initiate Grievance for Missing Property Complaint: A resident with mildly impaired cognition reported that $30 was missing from his bedside table after returning from a family pass. The ADM heard the complaint but did not treat it as a grievance, and no written grievance, investigation, or resolution was documented. The DON and SSD later confirmed the allegation should have been handled as a complaint/grievance, but no official grievance investigation was started.
A resident with kidney cancer and mental health diagnoses was receiving chemotherapy, but the MDS coded cancer treatment status as none of the above. The resident reported ongoing chemo every couple of weeks, and the MDS staff member confirmed the assessment should have reflected chemotherapy.
A resident admitted with kidney cancer, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety was receiving chemotherapy, but the care plan did not address the cancer treatment or include interventions related to it. The MDS staff member confirmed the resident was on chemo and that the care plan should have included it.
Medications were left at a resident’s bedside instead of being observed for ingestion, even though the resident had not been assessed or approved to self-administer. The resident had dementia and severely impaired cognition, and the LPN confirmed she left the morning meds in a cup on the bedside table and that the resident was not able to self-administer. The DON also confirmed the meds should not have been left unattended.
Kitchen Sanitation Lapses: The facility failed to keep kitchen areas sanitary when a fluffy gray substance was observed on ceiling vents, ceiling tiles, and a storage rack holding pots and utensils. A kitchen staff member confirmed the findings and stated the areas should have been cleaned. The deficiency had the potential to affect 73 residents who ate meals prepared in the kitchen.
A CNA failed to follow infection control practices during perineal care for a resident with legal blindness, RA, muscle wasting, and polyneuropathy. The CNA removed a soiled brief without gloves, cleaned the resident, assisted with a clean brief without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene, discarded the gloves and trash bag, and then entered another resident’s room without washing hands or using hand sanitizer; the ADON confirmed staff should wear gloves and perform hand hygiene after glove removal and between residents.
The facility did not ensure an RN was present for 8 consecutive hours daily and allowed the DON to serve as both DON and charge nurse despite a census consistently above 60. Staffing records and interviews confirmed multiple days with insufficient RN coverage and improper role assignment for the DON.
A resident with a documented serious mental illness, as determined by a Level II PASRR, was incorrectly coded in the MDS assessment as not having a serious mental illness. This error was confirmed by the DON during a review of the resident's records.
A resident with a history of stroke and hemiplegia was not repositioned every two hours as required by her care plan, despite being on a pressure-reducing air mattress. Observations showed the resident remained on her back for an extended period, and staff interviews revealed that repositioning was not performed, with some staff mistakenly believing the air mattress alone was sufficient.
A resident with a venous stasis ulcer and orders for Enhanced Barrier Precautions was observed with an exposed wound resting on a visibly soiled chair covering, without a protective barrier in place. Both the treatment nurse and DON confirmed that proper infection control procedures were not followed during wound care.
Dirty Shower Area and Resident Cup Observed
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe, clean, and homelike environment for Resident #50 by not keeping the resident’s shower area and shower chair clean before use. Resident #50 had diagnoses including legal blindness, dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, unsteadiness on feet, cognitive communication deficit, and a history of falls. Her most recent MDS indicated a Brief Mental Status score of 12, showing her cognition was intact. During an observation of the resident’s bathroom and shower, the shower chair seat had dark patches of a black substance, the chair legs and rubber caps had a wet, velvety, film-like black substance, and the shower walls and floor had a black film-like substance with small black circular patches. Two wet washcloths were also observed on the shower floor, and the CNA confirmed they had been used to clean the resident and were left there dirty. The CNA stated she had assisted the resident with a shower that morning and had seen that the shower was dirty before providing care. She confirmed the shower should have been cleaned before the shower was given. The CNA also wiped the shower chair leg with a washcloth, and chunks of black sooty, sludgy-like substance came off onto the cloth. In addition, the resident’s clear plastic sippy cup with a blue lid and built-in straw, which she said she used every morning to rinse her mouth, was observed with a black substance inside the bottom of the cup and straw and small black circular patches on the inside walls near the bottom. The supervising CNA confirmed the cup was dirty and should have been cleaned. Housekeeping later confirmed that resident bathrooms and showers inside resident bathrooms were to be cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly.
Failure to Initiate Grievance for Missing Property Complaint
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a grievance was initiated for an allegation of missing property involving one resident. The resident, who had diagnoses including COPD, anemia, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, had a BIMS score of 9 on the annual MDS, indicating mildly impaired cognition. During an interview, the resident stated he had $30 in his bedside table, went out on pass to a family gathering, and noticed the money was missing the following day. He reported the missing money to the S1ADM. A review of the grievance log from 10/03/2025 through 05/11/2026 did not show any documented grievance or complaint from the resident, his family, or responsible parties about the missing money. The S1ADM confirmed the resident voiced the complaint directly but stated he did not believe it was a grievance or complaint because the resident appeared confused and later said never mind. He acknowledged that no written grievance was initiated and that there was no evidence of an investigation or resolution. The DON and SSD confirmed they were aware of the allegation of missing money and agreed it should have been treated as a complaint and/or grievance, but neither initiated an official grievance investigation.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Chemotherapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for a resident with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of the kidney, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. The resident’s medical record showed a physician progress note stating she was receiving chemotherapy, and the resident stated during interview that she had received radiation therapy in November 2025 and was currently receiving chemotherapy every couple of weeks. However, the comprehensive MDS assessment with an ARD of 04/23/2026 coded cancer treatment/chemotherapy status as none of the above. The MDS staff member interviewed confirmed the resident received chemotherapy during the look-back period and that the assessment should have indicated chemotherapy.
Care Plan Did Not Address Chemotherapy Treatment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a person-centered comprehensive plan of care for Resident #1 to address her chemotherapy treatment. Resident #1 was admitted with diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of the kidney, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. During interview, she stated that she started chemotherapy in February 2026 and was still receiving it at the time of the survey. Review of the resident’s care plan showed no evidence that chemotherapy treatment was included or that interventions related to receiving cancer treatment were addressed. The MDS staff member responsible for updating the care plan confirmed that the resident was receiving chemotherapy and acknowledged that the care plan did not address the cancer treatments or include interventions for chemotherapy.
Medications Left at Bedside for Resident Not Approved to Self-Administer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were administered in a manner consistent with nursing professional standards when medications were left at the bedside for a resident who had not been assessed or approved for self-administration. Resident #31 was admitted with diagnoses including dementia, bipolar disorder, major depression, blindness in the right eye, and anxiety. Her most recent MDS showed a BIMS score of 06, indicating severely impaired cognition, and the facility record review confirmed she had not been evaluated for self-administration of medications. During observation, a clear medicine cup containing pills was found on the resident’s bedside table, and the resident identified the cup as her morning medications left there by the nurse for her to take when she woke up. The resident stated she could not remember the names of the pills or what they were for. The LPN confirmed she had left the medications at the bedside instead of observing the resident swallow them and acknowledged the resident was not able to self-administer medications. The DON also confirmed the resident had not been approved for self-administration and that the medications should not have been left unattended at the bedside.
Kitchen Sanitation Lapses
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in the kitchen by allowing a fluffy gray substance to remain on the ceiling vents, ceiling tiles, kitchen utensils storage rack, and the pots storage area. During an initial tour of the kitchen, moderate amounts of the gray fluffy substance were observed on the ceiling vent and ceiling tiles above the food preparation area, and small amounts were observed on the storage rack holding pots, spoons, tongs, and a whisk. On follow-up observation, the kitchen staff member responsible for daily kitchen operations confirmed the observations of the ceiling vent, ceiling tile, and storage rack and stated that maintenance was responsible for cleaning the ceiling tile and ceiling vents, while dietary staff were responsible for cleaning the storage rack. She further stated these areas should have been cleaned. The deficiency had the potential to affect 73 residents who consumed meals from the kitchen.
Failure to Maintain Hand Hygiene During Perineal Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate infection control practices were maintained before, during, and after perineal care for one resident. Resident #50 was admitted with diagnoses including legal blindness, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle wasting and atrophy, and polyneuropathy. During an observation of perineal care and removal and application of an adult incontinent brief, the CNA removed the resident’s soiled brief without gloves, placed the soiled brief in a trash bag, and then put on gloves to clean the resident’s perineal area after a bowel movement. After cleaning the resident, the CNA helped the resident stand and applied a clean brief without removing the used gloves or performing hand hygiene. The CNA then assisted the resident back into the wheelchair, removed the gloves, placed them in the trash bag with the soiled brief, and did not wash hands or use hand sanitizer. The CNA exited the room carrying the trash bag, discarded it in a trash can in the hall, did not perform hand hygiene afterward, and then entered another resident’s room. The CNA confirmed these actions during interview, and the ADON confirmed that staff should wear gloves when removing soiled briefs and should wash hands or apply hand sanitizer after removing gloves and after resident care before moving to another resident.
Failure to Provide Required RN Coverage and Improper DON Role Assignment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was present to provide services for 8 consecutive hours each day, 7 days a week, as required. Review of RN staffing timesheets from October 2024 through April 2025 revealed multiple dates where the RN did not work the required 8 consecutive hours, with some days showing less than 8 hours worked and one day with no RN hours worked at all. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON), the RN, and the accounting staff confirmed these discrepancies and verified that the facility census was consistently above 60 residents during this period. Additionally, the facility did not comply with the regulation that prohibits the DON from serving as a charge nurse when the census exceeds 60 residents. On days when the scheduled RN was absent or worked less than 8 hours, the DON assumed RN duties, but was classified as working under the DON role and did not use the electronic clock in/out system. Both the DON and the Administrator acknowledged they were unaware that the DON could not serve dually as the RN and DON when the census was above 60, and confirmed that the census had not dropped below this threshold for several months.
Inaccurate MDS Assessment of PASRR Status
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately reflected a resident's status. A review of the medical records for a resident admitted with diagnoses including Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder showed that the Pre Admission Screening and Assessment Resident Review (PASRR) indicated a Level II determination, confirming the presence of a serious mental illness and recommending nursing home admission. However, the resident's annual MDS assessment incorrectly coded Section A1500 as 'no' to the question of whether the resident was considered by the state Level II PASRR process to have a serious mental illness. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview and record review with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the PASRR status was inaccurately documented in the MDS.
Failure to Implement Repositioning Care Plan for Resident with Mobility Impairments
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when staff failed to implement a resident's care plan interventions for regular repositioning and body alignment checks. The resident, who had a history of cerebral infarction, cerebrovascular disease, and hemiplegia/hemiparesis, had care plan directives requiring staff to check body alignment when passing by the room, provide a pressure reduction mattress, assist with positioning for comfort, and monitor and assist with repositioning at least every two hours. The air mattress manufacturer’s manual also emphasized that the mattress is not a substitute for frequent repositioning. During observations, the resident was seen lying on her back for an extended period without evidence of repositioning. Multiple staff interviews confirmed that the resident had not been repositioned as required, with one LPN incorrectly stating that repositioning was unnecessary due to the use of an air mattress. Other staff, including a CNA, CNA Supervisor, and Treatment Nurse, acknowledged that the resident should have been repositioned every two hours, as per the care plan.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) policy during wound care for a resident with a venous stasis ulcer. The resident, who had diagnoses including peripheral vascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, had a physician's order for EBP and specific wound care instructions. During an observation of wound care, the resident was found sitting in a recliner with her legs elevated, and her right leg, which had an open wound, was resting directly on a visibly soiled chair covering without a protective barrier. The wound was exposed and had a small amount of serosanguineous fluid present. Staff interviews confirmed that a protective barrier should have been placed under the resident's leg to prevent the wound from contacting the soiled surface. Both the treatment nurse and the DON acknowledged that the wound should not have been exposed to the soiled chair covering, indicating a failure to follow the facility's EBP policy and procedures during wound care for this resident.
