Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Westwood Manor Nursing Home, Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not maintain sanitary food storage and handling practices, as multiple opened, unsealed, and undated boxes of food were found in the refrigerator and freezer, along with expired prune juice in dry storage. The Dietary Manager confirmed these items were not properly sealed, dated, or disposed of according to facility policy.
A resident with chronic pain and limited mobility requested a geri chair to improve comfort, but the request was not communicated to management or acted upon by staff. Multiple staff members were either unaware of the request or believed someone else had reported it, resulting in the resident not receiving the requested accommodation.
A resident's admission MDS assessment was not transmitted within the required 14-day period after completion. Facility policy mandates timely completion and transmission of the MDS, but the assessment remained open and untransmitted, as confirmed by an LPN during interview.
A resident with multiple complex diagnoses continued to have oxygen administration interventions listed in their care plan after the physician's order for oxygen was discontinued. Staff confirmed that the care plan was not revised following each assessment, resulting in outdated interventions remaining in place.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions did not receive required nail care as part of ADL assistance. Despite documentation indicating that nail care was performed, observation and staff interviews confirmed that the resident's fingernails were left long and dirty, and the CNA responsible did not clean or cut the nails as required.
Expired Ocuvite Adult 50+ Soft Gels and DiabetiSource AC Complete Nutrition supplements were found stored in a medication room and available for administration. An LPN and the ADON both confirmed that these expired items should not have been present.
A resident with dementia, malnutrition, and aphasia did not consistently receive the physician-ordered amounts of fluids during medication passes and snack times. Staff interviews confirmed that the required fluids were not provided as ordered, and documentation showed the resident neither refused nor consumed the fluids on multiple occasions.
Surveyors observed that garbage and refuse were not disposed of properly, with dumpster lids left open, trash bags placed on the ground, and debris scattered around the dumpster area. Facility staff confirmed that all employees were responsible for disposing of trash correctly and maintaining cleanliness, but these procedures were not followed.
The facility failed to ensure a cognitively impaired resident was treated with respect and dignity, as the resident was observed lying in bed clothed only in a diaper on two occasions. Despite the resident's comprehensive care plan requiring assistance for all ADLs, including dressing, and the RP's requests for the resident to be dressed in a gown, staff were inconsistent and unaware of the resident's needs, leading to the deficiency.
The facility failed to ensure a resident's advance directive was properly reflected in their medical record. Despite the resident's LaPOST indicating DNR status, the EHR bed board listed the resident as full code-CPR, and there was no active physician's order for the code status. This inconsistency was confirmed by interviews with two LPNs and the DON.
The facility failed to maintain a clean environment for a resident with multiple diagnoses, including dementia, by not ensuring that the resident's bed linens were clean. The resident reported that the sheets had not been changed for over three weeks, which was confirmed by a CNA and the Director of Nursing.
A resident reported missing a pair of blue capris and a blanket to the administrator in writing but did not receive any response. The administrator acknowledged receiving the letter but did not initiate a grievance, failing to address the resident's concerns promptly.
The facility failed to implement comprehensive care plans for two residents. One resident was transferred using a mechanical lift by a single CNA instead of the required two-person assist. Another resident's care plan did not include their DNR code status, despite it being documented in their medical records.
The facility failed to provide necessary ADL assistance to two residents, resulting in one resident not being bathed regularly and another having untrimmed, dirty fingernails. Interviews and documentation confirmed these deficiencies.
The facility failed to administer the Pneumococcal Vaccine to a resident despite having a signed consent. The resident, admitted with multiple diagnoses including COVID-19 and Heart Failure, did not receive the vaccine as per the facility's policy. The DON confirmed the oversight but could not explain the reason.
Failure to Maintain Sanitary Food Storage and Handling Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and sanitary kitchen environment and did not store food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. During an observation of the kitchen, multiple opened, unsealed, and undated boxes of food items, including breakfast sausage patties, hamburger patties, cinnamon rolls, raw cookie dough, and pretzel breadsticks, were found in the walk-in refrigerator and freezer. Additionally, three expired cartons of prune juice were found in dry storage. The facility's own policies require that frozen foods be tightly wrapped, labeled, and dated, and that refrigerated foods be wrapped or covered and stored in sanitary containers. The Dietary Manager confirmed that these items were not properly sealed, dated, or disposed of as required.
Failure to Accommodate Resident's Request for Geri Chair
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when the facility failed to reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of a resident who requested a geri chair to help manage chronic pain and limited mobility. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had diagnoses including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, unspecified osteoarthritis, morbid obesity, muscle spasms of the back, chronic pain syndrome, and restless leg syndrome, reported being able to tolerate sitting in a wheelchair for only about 15 minutes due to back pain. She stated that she had requested a geri chair from staff several months prior but had not received one or been offered the opportunity to use one. Interviews with facility staff revealed a breakdown in communication regarding the resident's request. Multiple staff members, including CNAs and an LPN, either did not recall being notified of the request or assumed another staff member had communicated it. The Social Services Director and Director of Nursing both confirmed they had not been informed of the resident's request for a geri chair. As a result, the resident's expressed need for a more comfortable seating option was not addressed, and no action was taken to evaluate or provide the requested accommodation.
Failure to Transmit Admission MDS Assessment Within Required Timeframe
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to transmit an admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment within the required timeframe for one resident. According to the facility's policy, the admission assessment must be completed and transmitted within 14 days of admission, counting the day of admission as day one. Record review showed that a resident was admitted on 07/03/2025, and the admission MDS with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 07/09/2025 remained open and untransmitted as of 07/29/2025. An interview with an LPN confirmed that the assessment should have been completed and transmitted by 07/22/2025, but this was not done.
Care Plan Not Updated After Discontinuation of Oxygen Therapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's comprehensive care plan was revised after each assessment, as required. A review of the medical record for a resident with diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease, Epilepsy, Gastrostomy, and Quadriplegia showed that the care plan continued to include interventions for oxygen administration, even though the physician's order for oxygen had been discontinued several months prior. The care plan still listed oxygen settings and instructions to administer oxygen as ordered, despite the absence of a current order. Interviews with staff confirmed that the care plan was not updated following the discontinuation of oxygen therapy, and acknowledged that it should have been revised after each assessment.
Failure to Provide Necessary Nail Care During ADL Assistance
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple complex medical diagnoses, including chronic respiratory failure, severe protein-calorie malnutrition, and hypertensive heart disease, did not receive necessary assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), specifically nail care. The resident required moderate assistance with personal hygiene and was unable to perform these tasks independently. During an observation, the resident was found to have long fingernails with a large amount of brown substance underneath, and the resident reported having requested nail care from staff the previous week, which was not provided. Review of documentation indicated that ADL care, including nail care, was recorded as completed, but interviews with the CNA responsible for the resident's care confirmed that the CNA did not clean or cut the resident's fingernails during the documented ADL care. Both the treatment nurse and the Director of Nursing acknowledged that the resident's nails should have been cleaned as part of routine ADL care, and that this was not done.
Expired Medications and Supplements Found in Medication Room
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that Room A, used for storing medications and supplements for residents, contained expired items, specifically two unopened bottles of Ocuvite Adult 50+ Soft Gels with an expiration date of 06/2025 and three DiabetiSource AC Complete Nutrition 250mL supplements with an expiration date of 05/23/2025. These expired medications and supplements were found to be available for administration to residents. During the observation, an LPN confirmed the presence of expired items in the medication room and acknowledged that they should not have been there. The ADON also confirmed that expired medications and supplements should not have been available for administration but were present in Room A at the time of the survey.
Failure to Provide Ordered Fluids for Hydration
Penalty
Summary
A resident with diagnoses including dementia, mild protein-calorie malnutrition, and aphasia was admitted to the facility and had physician orders and care plan directives to receive 360mL of fluid by mouth three times daily with medication pass and 360mL of fluid by mouth twice daily at snack times. Review of the resident's medical record, medication administration record (MAR), and electronic fluid intake flowsheets revealed that the resident did not consistently receive the ordered amounts of fluids on multiple dates. Documentation showed that the resident neither refused nor consumed the required fluids during several medication passes and snack times. Interviews with facility staff confirmed the deficiency. A CNA stated that fluid intake was monitored and documented during meals and snack times, while an LPN admitted to providing medications mixed with pudding but not offering the required 360mL of fluid with medication administration. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident did not receive the prescribed quantity of fluids each day, as required by the physician's orders and care plan.
Improper Disposal of Garbage and Refuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper disposal of garbage and refuse, as observed during a survey. Three facility dumpsters were found with lids left open, and garbage bags were placed directly on the ground instead of inside the dumpsters. Additionally, multiple pieces of debris, including straws, plastic lids, silver spoons, napkins, and other paper products, were scattered around the dumpster area. The Maintenance Supervisor acknowledged that raccoons occasionally entered the dumpster area and contributed to the mess, but also confirmed that staff were responsible for placing trash inside the dumpsters and keeping the area clean. Both the Dietary Manager and Maintenance Supervisor confirmed these findings and acknowledged that the facility's policy requiring closed dumpster lids and a clean surrounding area was not followed. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 95 residents in the facility.
Failure to Ensure Resident Dignity and Appropriate Dressing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a cognitively impaired resident was treated with respect and dignity, and cared for in a manner that promoted enhancement of his or her own quality of life. Resident #96, who was non-interviewable and dependent on staff for all activities of daily living (ADLs), was observed on two separate occasions lying in bed clothed only in a diaper. The resident's electronic health record indicated multiple diagnoses, including Hypertensive Heart Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Major Depressive Disorder. The resident's comprehensive care plan required assistance for all ADLs, including dressing, and the resident was receiving hospice services at the time of the observations. Despite this, the resident was not dressed appropriately, which was confirmed through multiple observations and interviews with staff and the resident's responsible party (RP). The RP had requested numerous times for the resident to be dressed in a gown, as the resident would have always wanted to be dressed. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness and inconsistency in addressing the resident's needs. A CNA stated that the resident pulled clothes off when attempts were made to dress him, while an LPN and the Director of Nursing (DON) were unaware of any behaviors related to the resident undressing himself. The DON acknowledged that the resident should be covered or dressed appropriately. This failure to dress the resident appropriately and to honor the RP's requests demonstrated a lack of respect and dignity in the care provided to Resident #96, contributing to the deficiency noted in the report.
Inconsistent Code Status Documentation for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #96's right to formulate an advance directive was properly reflected in their medical record. Despite the resident's LaPOST indicating a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) status, the EHR bed board listed the resident as full code-CPR. Additionally, there was no active physician's order for the resident's code status in the medical record. This inconsistency was confirmed by interviews with two LPNs and the Director of Nursing (DON), who acknowledged that the medical record contained conflicting information and lacked an updated order for the resident's code status. Resident #96 had multiple diagnoses, including Hypertensive Heart Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and others, and was receiving hospice services. The resident was non-interviewable and dependent on staff for various activities of daily living. The deficiency was identified during a review of the resident's EHR, comprehensive care plan, and physician's orders, which revealed the absence of a consistent and updated code status reflecting the resident's wishes as documented in the LaPOST form.
Failure to Maintain Clean Bed Linens
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for Resident #18 by not ensuring that the resident's bed linens were clean. Resident #18, who has diagnoses including Major Depressive Disorder, Heart Failure, Vascular Dementia, Overactive Bladder, and Unspecified Dementia, was observed with visibly soiled and stained sheets. The resident reported that the sheets had not been changed for over three weeks. This was confirmed by a CNA who was unaware of when the sheets were last changed. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the sheets should have been changed on the resident's bath days and as needed.
Failure to Address Resident's Grievance Promptly
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a prompt resolution of an allegation of missing property for a resident. The resident, who had a BIMS score of 15 indicating intact cognition, reported missing a pair of blue capris since December 2023 and a blanket that had been sent to the laundry over a week ago. Despite reporting these missing items to the administrator in writing, the resident did not receive any response or resolution. The administrator acknowledged receiving the resident's letter but did not initiate a grievance as required by the facility's policy. The letter, dated May 11, 2024, detailed the resident's repeated requests for the return of her blue capris and the recent loss of her favorite Christmas blanket. The administrator confirmed that no grievance was initiated upon receipt of the letter, resulting in a failure to address the resident's concerns promptly.
Failure to Implement Comprehensive Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a Comprehensive Person Centered Care Plan (CPOC) to meet the medical needs of two residents. For one resident, the facility did not ensure that the resident was transferred with a mechanical lift by two-person assist as specified in the resident's physician's orders and CPOC. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses including bilateral above-knee amputation and hemiplegia, was transferred by a CNA using the lift without any assistance, contrary to the care plan requirements. Both the CNA and the Director of Nursing confirmed that two staff members should have been present during the transfer. For another resident, the facility failed to include the resident's code status of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) in the CPOC. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses including hypertensive heart disease and chronic kidney disease, was receiving hospice services and had a documented DNR status in the Louisiana Physician Order for Scope of Treatment (LaPOST). However, the resident's care plan and physician's orders did not reflect this code status. The LPN responsible for developing care plans confirmed that the resident's code status should have been included in the care plan but was not.
Failure to Provide Necessary ADL Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents who were unable to carry out activities of daily living received the necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene. Resident #47, who had multiple diagnoses including bilateral above-knee amputation and hemiplegia, required substantial assistance with showering and bathing. Despite being scheduled for baths three times a week, the resident reported not being bathed regularly and documentation confirmed only four baths in a 30-day period. Interviews with the resident and staff corroborated the lack of consistent bathing, highlighting a failure in providing the necessary care as per the resident's care plan. Resident #49, who had severe cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for all ADLs, was observed with long, jagged fingernails with a brown substance underneath. Interviews with staff confirmed that the resident's nails should have been trimmed and cleaned but were not. Additionally, there was no documentation to suggest that nail care had been provided recently. This indicates a failure to maintain the resident's personal hygiene as required by their care plan.
Failure to Administer Pneumococcal Vaccine
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer the Pneumococcal Vaccine to a resident after receiving consent. The facility's policy mandates offering the Pneumococcal immunization to all residents unless medically contraindicated or previously immunized. Despite having a signed consent dated 11/29/2018, the resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including COVID-19, Heart Failure, Acute Upper Respiratory Infection, and other general symptoms, did not receive the vaccine. The Director of Nursing confirmed the oversight but could not provide a reason for the failure to administer the vaccine.
