Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Northeast La War Veterans Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure nurse aides received required annual in-service training that included dementia management. Record review showed three sampled CNAs with more than 1 year of employment had no documentation of annual dementia training, and HR confirmed multiple CNAs lacked this training.
Failure to post daily nurse staffing data: The facility did not post the nurse staffing information at the beginning of each shift in a prominent, readily accessible location. Observation showed the staffing data was not posted with the resident census, total number, or actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed staff. The ADON stated the assignment sheets were kept inside the nurses' station and did not include the required details, and the Assistant Administrator confirmed the staffing pattern was not posted outside the nurses' station for residents, visitors, and staff to access.
The facility failed to follow proper procedures for bed rail use for three residents, lacking physician orders, informed consent, and risk assessments. Observations showed residents with raised bed rails without necessary precautions, posing potential safety risks.
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment, with observations revealing dirty and expired items in the medication cart, personal belongings in the wound care cart, and non-medical items in the medication storage room. These findings were confirmed by LPNs and the DON, indicating a risk of cross-contamination.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses was observed with dirty fingernails on several occasions, despite care plans indicating total care for hygiene. The DON confirmed the need for cleaning after being notified of the observations.
The facility failed to implement their policies for screening new employees for criminal history background checks for two CNAs. Personnel records lacked documented evidence of these checks, and interviews confirmed the requirement but revealed the checks were missing.
The facility failed to submit accurate payroll information for direct care staffing hours, resulting in issues such as low weekend staff, no RN hours, and lack of 24-hour Licensed Nursing coverage. Changes in personnel codes led to incorrect data being submitted.
The facility failed to ensure proper storage of nasal cannulas for two residents requiring oxygen therapy. Observations revealed that the nasal cannulas were not stored in plastic bags when not in use, contrary to the facility's policy. The Director of Nursing confirmed the improper storage.
Missing Annual Dementia Management Training for Nurse Aides
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure nurse aides received at least 12 hours of annual in-service training that included dementia management training for 3 of 3 sampled staff members who had been employed more than 1 year. Review of personnel records showed that S4CNA, hired on 08/23/2023, had no documentation of annual training on dementia management. S5CNA, hired on 08/30/2022, also had no documentation of annual dementia management training. S6CNA, hired on 06/21/2007, likewise had no documentation of annual training on dementia management. During an interview on 03/18/2026 at 8:10 a.m., S7Human Resources confirmed that S4CNA, S5CNA, S6CNA, S7CNA, and S8CNA did not have annual training on dementia management.
Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Data
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post the nurse staffing data on a daily basis at the beginning of each shift in a prominent place readily accessible to residents, staff, and visitors. During observation of the skilled resident hall on 03/17/2026 at 2:59 p.m., the daily staffing data was not posted with the resident census, total number, and actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed staff directly responsible for resident care. At 3:10 p.m., S8 ADON stated that daily assignment sheets were posted inside the nurses' station, but they did not include the census, total number, or actual hours worked per shift for licensed and unlicensed staff. At 4:00 p.m., S9 Assistant Administrator confirmed the daily staffing pattern was not posted outside the nurses' station in an area readily accessible to residents, visitors, and staff with the census, total number, and actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed staff directly responsible for resident care.
Failure to Follow Bed Rail Safety Protocols
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper procedures were followed regarding the use of bed rails for three residents. For each resident, there was no documented evidence of a physician's order for bed rails, informed consent from the resident or their representative, or an assessment for the risk of entrapment prior to the installation of bed rails. Observations revealed that residents were using bed rails without these necessary precautions, which are critical to ensuring resident safety. Resident #3, who had moderate cognitive impairment, was observed with a bed rail raised on one side and another lowered on the opposite side. Resident #4, with severe cognitive impairment, had both bed rails raised, and one was noted to be loose and wobbly. Resident #56, who had multiple medical conditions including a history of falls, was also observed with a bed rail raised without the required documentation. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator were notified of these findings, confirming the lack of necessary documentation and assessments for all three residents.
Sanitation Lapses in Medication and Wound Care Areas
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment, which is crucial for preventing the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. During an inspection, it was observed that the medication cart contained a large medication cup holding tray with multiple areas of an old, dried, unknown crusty substance and particles scattered throughout. Additionally, there were expired packages of Povidone-Iodine stored in the cart, which were confirmed by an LPN to be inappropriate for resident use. Furthermore, the wound care cart was found to contain personal items such as nail clippers in direct contact with wound care supplies, and a bag of cough drops and hard candy belonging to an LPN, indicating a risk of cross-contamination. In another instance, the medication storage room was found to contain non-medical items, including a large tote bag with insulin syringes, a swivel chair, a Christmas tree box, artificial flowers, Christmas stockings, personal hygiene items, a book, a door hanger, a grabber, a Bible, and therapy mats. These items were confirmed by an LPN and the DON to be improperly stored in the medication storage room, posing a risk of cross-contamination. The DON acknowledged that expired items and personal belongings should not be stored in these areas, highlighting a lapse in maintaining a sanitary environment within the facility.
Failure to Maintain Resident's Personal Hygiene
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident who is unable to perform activities of daily living received the necessary services to maintain personal hygiene. Resident #3, who was admitted with acute metabolic encephalopathy, cerebral infarction, and psychosis and delusion, was observed with a buildup of dirt and grime under the nail beds of both hands on multiple occasions. The resident had a moderate cognitive impairment, as indicated by a brief mental score of 08, affecting his daily decision-making skills. Despite care planning for bathing and hygiene deficits, which included total care and checking fingernails, the resident was observed eating with dirty fingernails. The Director of Nursing confirmed the need for cleaning the resident's fingernail beds after being notified of the observations.
Failure to Implement Criminal History Background Checks
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement their written policies and procedures for screening new employees for criminal history background checks for two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). The personnel records for these CNAs, who were hired in 2019 and 2020, lacked documented evidence of criminal history background checks. During interviews, the facility's administrator and human resources specialist confirmed that background checks were required for all employees but were unable to locate the background checks for the two CNAs in question.
Inaccurate Payroll Information Submission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to electronically submit accurate payroll information for direct care staffing hours for the period from 10/01/2023 through 12/31/2023. The Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) report revealed issues such as excessively low weekend staff, no Registered Nurse (RN) hours, and lack of Licensed Nursing coverage 24 hours per day. An interview with the administrator indicated that changes in personnel codes by the Human Resources department led to incorrect data being submitted, including non-care staff being listed and eventually no personnel being listed at all. The administrator confirmed the inaccuracy of the submitted PBJ report for the specified period.
Failure to Properly Store Nasal Cannulas for Residents Requiring Oxygen Therapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents requiring respiratory care were provided with such care consistent with professional standards of practice. For Resident #105, who had diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, the physician's orders specified oxygen at 3 liters per nasal cannula continuously. However, observations revealed that the nasal cannula was not stored in a plastic bag when not in use, as required by the facility's Oxygen Therapy Policy. The nasal cannula was found uncovered and improperly stored on multiple occasions, both on the wheelchair and on the side of the bed. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the nasal cannula should have been stored in a plastic bag when not in use. Similarly, Resident #106, who had diagnoses including acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, had physician's orders for oxygen at 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula. Observations revealed that the nasal cannula was uncovered and lying on the bedside dresser and the edge of the bed, without a plastic bag for proper storage. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the nasal cannula should have been stored in a plastic bag when not in use. These deficiencies indicate a failure to adhere to the facility's policy and professional standards of practice for respiratory care.
