Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Maison Teche Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to keep the most recent survey results posted in a place readily accessible to residents, family members, and legal representatives. During an observation and interview, the ADM said the survey results were kept in a binder near the dining room, but the binder only contained results dated months earlier and did not include the most recent survey findings.
Failure to monitor psychotropic effects and complete weekly skin assessment: A resident with depression and anxiety received ordered psychotropic medications, but the MAR lacked documentation of required behavior and side effect monitoring per the care plan. In addition, another resident with Parkinson's disease, dementia, malnutrition, and a stage 3 pressure ulcer had a physician-ordered weekly head-to-toe skin assessment that was not documented, and the DON confirmed the missed skin check.
Care plan did not reflect a resident’s discharge plans. The resident was cognitively intact, repeatedly stated a desire to leave the facility and move into his own place, and prior care plan meetings noted he was hoping for waiver housing and wanted to discharge as soon as housing was available. However, the current care plan stated there were no discharge plans and no active discharge planning, and the SSD confirmed it had not been revised to match the resident’s plan.
Failure to use required PPE during feeding tube care: an LPN administered a water flush via a resident’s feeding tube without wearing a gown, despite the resident being on EBP and the room sign directing staff to wear gloves and gown for feeding tube device care. The resident had a feeding tube and orders for routine enteral flushes, and the LPN and DON both confirmed the gown should have been worn.
The facility did not ensure residents received mail on Saturdays, affecting 90 residents. A resident reported the issue during a council meeting, and staff confirmed mail was only delivered Monday to Friday due to the office being closed on weekends. The HR representative was unaware of the regulatory requirement for weekend mail delivery, while the CNA Supervisor acknowledged the requirement but confirmed the ongoing issue.
The facility failed to implement comprehensive care plans for three residents, resulting in deficiencies. A resident did not receive medications before meals as ordered, another did not have compression stockings applied daily, and a third was not monitored for medication side effects. These issues were confirmed through observations and staff interviews, highlighting lapses in adherence to physician orders and care plans.
The facility failed to ensure the privacy of two residents during personal care. A resident with normal cognition reported inappropriate comments from a neighbor about her bathroom activities, which were not addressed by staff. Another resident with moderate cognitive impairment was exposed during personal care due to staff not closing doors, leaving her visible to her roommate and others. Both CNAs involved acknowledged their failure to protect privacy.
A resident with intact cognition reported a hole in the wall of their room that had been present for about a month, despite notifying nurses and maintenance. The Maintenance Director was unaware of the issue, indicating a failure to adhere to the facility's policy of maintaining a homelike environment.
A resident diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder did not receive a required Level II PASARR evaluation. The facility failed to refer the resident to the state-designated authority after the new diagnosis, despite the prescription of antipsychotic medication. This was confirmed by the Social Service Director, who acknowledged the oversight.
A resident with a left leg prosthetic experienced a decline in mobility due to a facility-acquired wound on his stump, caused by incorrect application of the prosthetic sleeve during an offsite event. This wound prevented the resident from wearing his prosthetic leg, leading to increased assistance needs and a decline in functional abilities.
A facility failed to adhere to professional standards for respiratory care by improperly storing oxygen tanks and tubing for a resident with chronic respiratory conditions. Oxygen tanks were found in the resident's room and on their wheelchair without proper labeling or storage, contrary to facility policy. Staff interviews revealed a misunderstanding of the facility's oxygen safety guidelines.
A facility's medication error rate exceeded the acceptable threshold of five percent. An LPN administered Carafate and Ferrous Sulfate to a resident after breakfast, contrary to physician orders to give them before meals. This contributed to a 6.67% error rate during a survey of 30 medication pass opportunities.
A resident's family expressed dissatisfaction with the care provided, leading them to call an ambulance to transfer the resident to a hospital. Despite the facility's policy to support residents' rights to voice grievances, the administrator and DON did not document or resolve the family's concerns, citing a lack of understanding of the specific issues. The facility failed to initiate a grievance process, as required.
A facility failed to document as-needed narcotic pain medication on the MAR for a resident, leading to discrepancies between the narcotic record and the MAR. Interviews with an LPN and the DON revealed that the process for documenting narcotic administration was not followed, as medications were not scanned into the computer after administration, resulting in mismatches and illegible entries.
A facility failed to implement a care plan requiring a three-person assist for a resident's transfer using a mechanical lift. The third CNA, who was supposed to observe the transfer, stepped out, resulting in the transfer being conducted without the required observation. This led to the resident being found with a bruise under her left eye. The facility's Administrator and DON confirmed the care plan was not followed.
The facility failed to ensure that nursing aides had the necessary competencies to safely secure a resident in the transportation van. Despite attending training, S3Transportation incorrectly positioned the tiedown hooks and straps, as confirmed during a mock observation by S2DON and S1ADM.
Survey Results Not Posted for Resident Access
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the most recent survey results were posted in a place readily accessible to residents, family members, and legal representatives of residents. Review of the state agency survey history showed multiple surveys, including complaint surveys, revisit surveys, and a recertification/re-licensure/state licensure survey. During an observation and interview on 01/11/2026 at 1:30 p.m., the Administrator stated the survey results were kept in a binder attached to the bulletin board near the dining room. The Administrator reviewed the binder and confirmed the most recent survey results in it were dated 10/15/2024, and acknowledged that the current survey results were not posted as required.
Failure to Monitor Psychotropic Effects and Complete Weekly Skin Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a person-centered care plan for a resident with major depressive disorder, other specified depressive episodes, and generalized anxiety disorder by not monitoring behaviors and side effects related to prescribed psychotropic medications. The resident had physician orders for Trazodone, Zoloft, Clorazepate Dipotassium, and Buspirone, and the care plan included interventions to assess for changes in mood status, assess for increased signs and symptoms of depression, and monitor for side effects and behaviors related to psych medication usage. However, review of the December 2025 and January 2026 MAR showed the medications were administered, and there was no documentation that behaviors or side effects were monitored each shift as required by the care plan. The facility also failed to complete a required skin check for a resident with Parkinson's disease, dementia, cerebral infarction, moderate protein calorie malnutrition, and a stage 3 pressure ulcer of the left buttock. The resident had a physician order for a head-to-toe skin assessment every Tuesday night shift, and the care plan directed weekly head-to-toe assessments. Review of the weekly skin checks showed the last documented assessment was on 12/30/2025, with no documented skin check completed for 01/06/2026. The DON confirmed that the weekly head-to-toe skin check had not been documented for that date.
Care plan did not reflect resident’s discharge plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to revise Resident #42’s care plan to reflect the resident’s discharge plans, despite documentation showing the resident was cognitively intact and repeatedly expressed a desire to leave the facility and move into his own place. Review of the resident’s quarterly MDS assessment showed a BIMS score of 15. During an interview on 01/11/2026, the resident stated he really wanted to get out of the nursing facility and move into his own place. Care plan meeting documentation from 03/19/2025 noted the resident was hopeful the waiver would find housing soon, and documentation from 06/18/2025 stated the resident wanted to discharge with waiver as soon as housing was available; both meetings included the MDS LPN and SSD. However, the current care plan stated there were no plans for discharge, that the resident planned to remain in the facility long term, and that there was no active discharge planning at this time. On 01/13/2026, the SSD confirmed the resident was on a waiting list for waiver services to assist with housing and verified the care plan had not been revised to reflect the resident’s plan to discharge out of the facility.
Failure to Use Required PPE During Feeding Tube Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program when staff did not use the required personal protective equipment for a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions during feeding tube care. The facility policy titled, Enhanced Barrier Precautions, stated that EBP requires targeted gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities, including device care or use of feeding tubes. Resident #5 was admitted with diagnoses including cerebral infarction and gastrostomy status, and the quarterly MDS indicated the resident had a feeding tube. Physician orders included enteral flushes every 4 hours and EBP with direct care related to the feeding tube on day and night shift. During observation, an LPN entered the resident’s room and administered a water flush via the feeding tube without wearing a gown, even though an EBP sign in the room directed staff to wear gloves and gown for feeding tube care. The LPN later confirmed she did not wear a gown but should have, and the DON also confirmed that the LPN should have worn a gown while administering the flush.
Failure to Deliver Mail on Saturdays
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents received their mail on Saturdays, which had the potential to affect 90 residents. During a resident council meeting, a resident reported that mail was not delivered on Saturdays. Interviews with a Certified Nursing Assistant Supervisor (S12CNASUP) and a Human Resources representative (S11HR) confirmed that mail was only distributed from Monday to Friday, as the office was closed on weekends and no staff were available to deliver mail. S11HR was unaware of the regulatory requirement for weekend mail delivery, while S12CNASUP acknowledged the requirement but confirmed that residents had not been receiving mail on weekends for some time.
Deficiencies in Medication Administration and Care Plan Implementation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for three residents, leading to deficiencies in medication administration and care practices. Resident #15, diagnosed with Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease and Iron Deficiency Anemia, had physician orders for medications to be administered before meals. However, an LPN administered these medications after the resident had already eaten breakfast, contrary to the physician's orders. This oversight was confirmed during an interview with the LPN, who acknowledged the error in medication timing. Resident #39, with diagnoses including Cerebral Infarction and Peripheral Vascular Disease, had physician orders for daily application of compression stockings. Observations revealed that the resident was not wearing compression stockings on multiple occasions, and interviews with the resident and CNAs confirmed that the stockings were not applied as required. One CNA was unaware of the need for daily application, indicating a lack of communication or training regarding the resident's care plan. Resident #76, with conditions such as Atrial Fibrillation and Dementia, was prescribed medications including an anticoagulant, antidepressant, and antipsychotic. The care plan included monitoring for side effects and behaviors related to these medications. However, a review of the MAR showed no documentation of such monitoring, and interviews with an LPN and the DON confirmed the absence of required monitoring records. This lack of documentation and monitoring represents a failure to adhere to the care plan and physician orders.
Failure to Ensure Resident Privacy During Personal Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the personal privacy of two residents during their activities of daily living. Resident #2, who has normal cognition, reported that a neighboring resident, Resident #54, made inappropriate comments about her bathroom activities, such as passing gas and other bodily functions. Despite Resident #2 informing a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) about these comments, no action was taken to address the situation. Resident #54 admitted to making these comments, finding them humorous, and confirmed that Resident #2 had not directly confronted him about it. Resident #39, who has moderate cognitive impairment, experienced a lack of privacy during personal care. On two separate occasions, Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) failed to close the room and bathroom doors while assisting Resident #39 with personal care, leaving her exposed to her roommate and anyone passing by. Both CNAs acknowledged their failure to protect the resident's privacy, and Resident #39 expressed discomfort with the situation. These incidents highlight the facility's failure to maintain residents' rights to personal privacy.
Failure to Maintain a Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a homelike environment for a resident, as evidenced by a hole in the sheetrock on the wall of the resident's room. The resident, who had intact cognition as indicated by a BIMS score of 15, reported that the hole had been present for about a month and that both nurses and maintenance had been notified. However, during an interview, the Maintenance Director stated he was not aware of the issue. The facility's policy requires housekeeping and maintenance services to maintain a sanitary, orderly, and comfortable environment, but this was not adhered to in this instance.
Failure to Submit Level II PASARR for Resident with New Mental Disorder Diagnosis
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to refer a resident with a newly diagnosed mental disorder to the appropriate state-designated authority for a Level II PASARR evaluation. Resident #31 was admitted to the facility and later diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder. Despite this new diagnosis, the facility did not submit a Level II PASARR for the resident, as required. The resident's medical record showed a Level I PASARR dated several months prior to the new diagnosis, but no evidence of a subsequent Level II PASARR submission. This oversight was confirmed during an interview with the Social Service Director, who acknowledged that the necessary referral had not been made.
Failure to Prevent Avoidable Reduction in Mobility Due to Incorrect Prosthetic Application
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to prevent further avoidable reduction of Range of Motion (ROM) and mobility for a resident, identified as Resident #60. The resident, who was admitted with a diagnosis of acquired absence of the left leg below the knee, developed a facility-acquired non-pressure ulcer on his left stump. This wound, initially an intact blister, deteriorated to 100% slough with bone exposure, preventing the resident from wearing his prosthetic leg. The wound was attributed to the incorrect application of the prosthetic sleeve/stocking, which caused friction and subsequent breakdown during an offsite event where the resident participated in a dance contest. The resident's physical therapy records indicated that prior to the incident, he was mobile and able to walk without assistance using his prosthesis. However, following the event, the resident experienced a functional decline, requiring increased assistance due to the inability to wear his prosthetic leg. The physical therapy evaluation noted recurrent falls and a pressure ulcer on the left residual limb, negatively impacting the resident's functional mobility tasks. The resident's quarterly MDS assessments showed a decline in functional abilities, with increased assistance needed for various activities of daily living. Interviews with facility staff, including the Treatment Registered Nurse and Physical Therapist, confirmed the sequence of events leading to the resident's decline in mobility. The resident himself expressed sadness over his inability to walk and wear his prosthetic leg until the wound healed. The facility's failure to ensure the correct application of the prosthetic leg and to prevent the development of the wound resulted in a significant decline in the resident's mobility and quality of life.
Failure to Properly Store and Label Oxygen Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide respiratory care consistent with professional standards of practice for a resident with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia. During an observation, two oxygen tanks were found on a rack by the door in the resident's room, and another oxygen tank was attached to the back of the resident's wheelchair with nasal cannula tubing that was not dated or stored in a bag. This was contrary to the facility's policy, which required oxygen delivery devices to be covered in an infection prevention bag when not in use. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of adherence to the facility's oxygen safety policies. An LPN stated that oxygen tanks could be stored in the resident's room as long as they were on a rack, and acknowledged that the oxygen tubing should have been labeled and stored in a bag. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the oxygen tanks should not have been stored in the resident's room and should have been placed on a rack in a separate room, indicating a failure to comply with the facility's guidelines for oxygen storage.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds Acceptable Threshold
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below five percent, as evidenced by observations, interviews, and record reviews. During a morning medication pass, an LPN administered Carafate Oral Tablet 1 GM and Ferrous Sulfate Oral Tablet 325 MG to a resident after they had eaten breakfast, contrary to the physician's orders which specified administration before meals. The LPN confirmed the error upon reviewing the resident's electronic health record. This incident was part of a survey where 30 medication pass opportunities were observed, resulting in two errors and a calculated medication error rate of 6.67%.
Failure to Address Family's Grievance Regarding Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to initiate a grievance process for a resident whose family expressed dissatisfaction with the care provided. The resident, who had a severely impaired cognition as indicated by a BIMS score of 06, was admitted with multiple diagnoses including malignant neoplasm of the colon, hemiplegia, type 2 diabetes with diabetic nephropathy, paraplegia, moderate protein-calorie malnutrition, a stage 2 pressure ulcer, and physical debility. On a specific date, the family of the resident called an ambulance to transfer the resident to a local hospital, citing concerns about inadequate care. Despite this, the facility did not document or file a grievance related to the family's concerns. The facility's administrator attempted to contact the family to discuss their concerns but did not receive a response. However, there was no documented evidence of these attempts or any further steps taken to resolve the grievance. During an interview, the administrator and the director of nursing admitted they did not complete a grievance report because they were unsure of the specific nature of the family's dissatisfaction. They acknowledged that they did not make an effort to understand or resolve the family's concerns, resulting in a failure to adhere to the facility's grievance policy.
Failure to Document Narcotic Administration on MAR
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that as-needed narcotic pain medication was properly documented on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for one of the residents reviewed for pain management. The facility's policy requires that the dose noted on the usage form or entered into the automated dispensing system must match the dose recorded on the MAR. However, discrepancies were found between the resident's Individual Narcotic Record and the MAR. Specifically, doses of Alprazolam and Oxycodone administered to the resident were not consistently documented on the MAR, despite being recorded on the narcotic record. Interviews with facility staff, including an LPN and the Director of Nursing (DON), revealed that the process for documenting narcotic administration was not followed as per the facility's policy. The LPN stated that after administering a narcotic, the medication should be scanned into the computer to document it on the MAR, but this step was not completed, leading to mismatches between the narcotic count book and the MAR. The DON confirmed that the MAR and narcotic count sheet should match and acknowledged that some entries on the narcotic count sheets were not legible, further contributing to the documentation discrepancies.
Failure to Implement Care Plan for Resident Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident who required a three-person assist using a mechanical lift for transfers. The care plan specified that a third person should be present for observation during transfers due to the resident's self-care deficit related to decreased mobility, lack of coordination, and muscle weakness. However, during a transfer on October 10, 2024, the third CNA who was supposed to observe the transfer stepped out to get supplies and did not witness the transfer. This resulted in the resident being transferred without the required observation, leading to an incident where the resident was later found with a bruise under her left eye. The incident was captured on video surveillance, which showed several staff members in the vicinity but none witnessing the transfer. Interviews with the CNAs involved revealed that they did not notice any hazards during the transfer. The facility's Administrator and Director of Nursing confirmed that the care plan intervention requiring a third person for observation was not implemented during the transfer, contributing to the deficiency in care provided to the resident.
Inadequate Competency in Securing Residents in Transportation Van
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nursing aides possessed the necessary competencies and skill sets to provide safe nursing services, as evidenced by S3Transportation's incorrect procedure for securing a resident in the facility's transportation van. Despite having signed an attestation and attended an in-service training on the use of the Q-straint Restraint System and wheelchair lifts, S3Transportation did not demonstrate the correct procedure during a mock observation. Specifically, S3Transportation attached the tiedown hooks to the lower portion of the wheelchair, above the wheels, instead of near the seat level, resulting in the tiedown straps being at a 90-degree angle rather than the required 45-degree angle. During the mock observation, S3Transportation confirmed that the tiedown hooks were not positioned correctly, and the straps were not at the proper angle. This deficiency was further corroborated by S2DON and S1ADM, who both confirmed the incorrect positioning of the tiedown hooks and straps. The failure to follow the correct procedure for securing a resident in the transportation van indicates a lack of competency in ensuring the safety and well-being of residents during transportation.
