Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Wyatt Manor Nursing And Rehab Ctr, Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents had window AC units with duct tape and other temporary materials visible around the units, and the Administrator confirmed the tape should not have been present and that both units needed repair.
A facility failed to develop comprehensive, person-centered care plans with measurable objectives and timeframes for two residents. One resident had dementia with wandering and elopement risk, but the care plan only included general redirection and diversional activities without measurable timeframes; staff reported frequent wandering into other residents' rooms and minimally effective redirection. Another resident with diabetes, anxiety, and depression repeatedly refused PO and injectable meds, BG checks, and ordered labs, yet had no care plan addressing non-compliance with physician orders.
A resident with a history of schizoaffective and bipolar disorder, identified as an elopement risk, exited the facility unsupervised after obtaining the exit door code and was not visually checked every hour as required. Staff failed to follow the care plan, and leadership was unaware of the resident's access to the code or the lack of monitoring, resulting in the resident being found miles away and an Immediate Jeopardy citation.
A facility failed to ensure a resident was free from physical restraints not required for medical symptoms. The resident, with multiple diagnoses, was observed in a geri-chair with a lap tray, which staff believed the resident could remove. However, observations and staff interviews confirmed the resident was unable to remove the tray, indicating it was a restraint.
The facility failed to ensure residents' drug regimens were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications, as physicians did not provide handwritten rationales for not implementing recommended gradual dose reductions. Despite pharmacists' recommendations, the attending physicians maintained current dosages for residents with conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and dementia, without documented justification.
The facility failed to maintain a clean and safe environment for residents, as evidenced by the buildup of dust and a black substance on the air/heating units in the rooms of five residents. Observations confirmed by the administrator highlighted the need for cleaning these units to ensure a comfortable and homelike environment.
A facility failed to accurately assess a resident's functional capacity regarding restraint use. A resident with multiple diagnoses was observed in a geri-chair with a lap tray, which the facility did not consider a restraint. However, the resident was unable to remove the lap tray, contrary to the Pre-Restraining assessment. The MDS assessment was inaccurately coded, not indicating the restraint use, as confirmed by staff interviews.
A facility failed to implement a comprehensive care plan for a resident at high risk for falls. Despite physician orders and care plan interventions requiring a fall mat beside the bed, observations revealed the mat was not in place, but rather under the bed. The DON confirmed the oversight, acknowledging the mat should have been positioned correctly.
A facility failed to ensure a safe environment by not maintaining water temperatures below 120°F in a resident's bathroom. Observations revealed temperatures of 127.6°F and 127.7°F, confirmed by the administrator and maintenance supervisor, exceeding the safe limit.
A resident in a long-term care facility was physically abused by another resident, resulting in facial injuries. The incident occurred when the aggressor struck the victim with an object during an unprovoked attack. Both residents were evaluated at a hospital, and the facility's staff were unaware of the altercation until it was reported by the victim.
Improperly Maintained Window AC Units
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, comfortable, and homelike environment for two residents by not ensuring maintenance services were provided as necessary to keep the interior comfortable. Resident #11’s window unit air conditioner had a large amount of gray duct tape placed around the outer edges of the window unit on observations made on 03/02/2026 and 03/03/2026. Resident #42’s window unit air conditioner had black duct tape around the top and left side of the vent cover, along with silver tape and insulation foam on the right side between the window and the unit on observations made on 03/02/2026 and 03/03/2026. The Administrator later confirmed that the duct tape, silver tape, and insulation foam should not have been present and that both units were in need of repair.
Care Plans Lacked Measurable Goals and Addressed Non-Compliance Incompletely
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan with measurable objectives and timeframes for Resident #2 and Resident #5. Resident #2 was admitted with diagnoses including diabetes mellitus, major depressive disorder, schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, dementia with behavioral disturbance, pseudobulbar affect, and insomnia. The quarterly MDS showed a BIMS score of 7, indicating severe cognitive impairment with daily decision making, and also documented wandering behaviors 1-3 days a week. The facility's wandering data collection tool identified the resident as a wander/elopement risk, and further review noted that the resident wandered ad lib in resident rooms and rummaged through resident belongings. The existing care plan included redirecting the resident as needed and providing diversional activities as needed, but interviews with staff confirmed the resident frequently wandered into resident rooms on evening shift and that redirection was minimally effective. The DON was unable to produce documentation showing that the interventions were measurable with objective timeframes, and was informed that the plan of care did not include measurable objectives and timeframes for the wandering behaviors. Resident #5 was admitted with diagnoses including diabetes, anxiety, and depression. Review of the February and March 2026 MAR showed the resident refused every PO and injectable medication and refused every scheduled blood sugar check. Physician orders included labs for a complete blood panel, basic metabolic panel, valproic acid level, and hemoglobin A1C every 3 months, but the lab results showed they had not been obtained as ordered. Review of the care plan showed there was no plan developed to address the resident's non-compliance with physician orders. The DON confirmed that the resident frequently refused PO and injectable medications, blood glucose monitoring, and lab work, and also confirmed that the care plan did not address this non-compliance.
Failure to Supervise Elopement Risk Resident Leads to Immediate Jeopardy
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when the facility failed to ensure adequate supervision and accident hazard prevention for a resident at risk for elopement. The resident, who had diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, was court committed to the facility and assessed as a wander/elopement risk. The care plan required visual checks of the resident's location every hour, diversional activities, and redirection as needed. Despite these interventions, the resident was able to exit the facility unsupervised by entering the code to a locked exit door, which he had obtained, and left the premises during the night. The last staff observation of the resident occurred at 1:55 a.m., but the resident was not visually checked every hour as required by the care plan. Staff responsible for the resident's care admitted to not performing the required hourly monitoring due to being occupied with other residents. The resident was discovered missing only after being found by a maintenance supervisor at a gas station approximately five miles from the facility, having traversed a four-lane highway. The resident was returned to the facility by the local sheriff's office without injury. Interviews with facility leadership and staff revealed they were unaware that the resident had access to the exit door code and that the required hourly visual checks were not being performed. The Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that staff were not following the care plan interventions for monitoring the resident, and that there was a lack of awareness regarding the resident's ability to access secured exits. The failure to provide adequate supervision and to follow established protocols for a resident at risk for elopement resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation.
Removal Plan
- The ADON did a check for all admitted residents to establish a complete baseline.
- Resident #1 was placed 1:1 with staff upon return to the facility until departure.
- The ADON counseled all CNAs and Nurses for their lack of supervision of residents and excessive break time and provided all CNAs and Nurses with a disciplinary write up.
- The ADON and Maintenance Supervisor assessed all exit doors of the building to ensure they were locked and the codes were functioning properly. Codes to the exit doors were updated.
- The DON inserviced all CNAs and Nurses. At least one CNA must remain on the hall at all times for proper supervision of residents.
- The DON inserviced all CNAs and Nurses on importance of attentive supervision (every 2 hours rounding during assigned shift), as well as required rounding at each shift change to ensure all residents are safe and accounted for. All staff was inserviced prior to returning to work.
- The DON inserviced all staff that door code exits were changed and the new codes must not be given out to residents or visitors. Inservice also stated that any resident who wished to go outside must be supervised by staff. All staff was inserviced prior to returning to work.
- To verify understanding of all inservices an elopement questionnaire was developed and administered by DON and ADON and was completed by all nurses and CNAs. All staff inserviced prior to returning to work.
- All residents were reassessed by MDS and Clinical Care Coordinator (CCC) nurse for baseline to determine any other risk for elopement.
- All residents who require every 1 hour visualization are identified by a task on the computer, ordered on Medication Administration Record (MAR), signage above assigned bed, closet care plan and a list posted by the time clock.
- A construction company was notified by the Administrator that the fence needed improvements at the facility.
- A construction company repaired the fence.
- The DON or ADON will monitor camera footage at random to ensure that CNAs and nurses are not taking excessive break times and that at least one CNA remains on each hall at all times. This monitor will be completed at random and any noncompliance will be addressed.
- The CNAs and LPNs will rotate every 2 hour rounds through the facility so that all residents have a visual check every 1 hour by staff. CNAs will round on odd hours and nurses will round on even hours. These forms will be turned into the DON and ADON to ensure that this implementation is being followed. Rounding will be completed every 1 hour on all residents and will continue on all residents who have a every 1 hour monitor order but may continue until compliance is met.
- Residents identified for every 1 hour monitoring are identified by signage above their bed, listed on closet care plan, order in Kiosk for CNAs, order in the computer for nurses, as well as a list by the time clock. Any noncompliance will be addressed.
- The DON and ADON will visualize rounds with CNAs and LPNs at random times throughout the week to ensure compliance either by in person or reviewing camera footage. This monitor will be completed at random but may continue weekly until compliance is reached. Any noncompliance will be addressed.
- An Elopement Questionnaire will be completed with 2 CNAs and 1 nurse at random by the DON or ADON. Any noncompliance will be addressed.
Improper Use of Physical Restraints
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents were free from physical restraints that were not required to treat medical symptoms. Specifically, resident #32, who had diagnoses including mood disorder, difficulty walking, muscle wasting and atrophy, seizures, and severe intellectual disabilities, was observed in a geri-chair with a lap tray on two occasions. Although a Pre-Restraining assessment summary indicated that the resident could remove the lap tray, observations and interviews with staff revealed that the resident was unable to do so. Interviews with the MDS Nurse, LPN, and CNAs confirmed that the lap tray functioned as a restraint for the resident, contrary to the facility's initial assessment.
Lack of Justification for Psychotropic Medication Dosages
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents' drug regimens were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications, as evidenced by the lack of documented rationale for not implementing gradual dose reductions (GDR) for five residents. The Pharmaceutical Consultant Report recommended GDR for various psychotropic medications prescribed to these residents, but the attending physicians did not provide handwritten justifications for maintaining the current dosages, despite noting that the residents were on the minimal effective dose. Resident #2, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and major depressive disorder, was prescribed Escitalopram and Olanzapine. The pharmacist recommended a GDR for these medications, but the physician did not document a rationale for not reducing the doses. Similarly, Resident #14, with diagnoses including schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder, was on multiple psychotropic medications such as Trazodone and Geodon. The physician again failed to provide a handwritten rationale for not implementing the recommended GDR. Resident #33, diagnosed with dementia and delusional disorders, was prescribed Olanzapine, and the physician did not document a rationale for not reducing the dose as recommended. Resident #11, with a history of paranoid schizophrenia and major depressive disorder, was on medications like Abilify and Quetiapine, and the physician did not justify the decision to maintain the current dosages. Lastly, Resident #15, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and anxiety disorder, was prescribed Risperidone and Lorazepam, and the physician did not provide a handwritten rationale for not reducing the doses as recommended by the pharmacist.
Facility Fails to Maintain Clean Air/Heating Units
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for five residents, as evidenced by the condition of the air/heating units in their rooms. Observations conducted on two consecutive days revealed a buildup of dust and a black substance on the vents of the air/heating units in the rooms of five residents. Specifically, the air/heating units in the rooms of residents #1, #6, #14, #19, and #33 were found to have significant dust and black substance accumulation. These observations were confirmed by the facility's administrator during an interview, acknowledging the need for cleaning the units to ensure a safe and clean environment for the residents.
Inaccurate MDS Assessment for Restraint Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a comprehensive and accurate assessment of a resident's functional capacity, specifically regarding the use of restraints. A resident with diagnoses including mood disorder, difficulty walking, muscle wasting and atrophy, seizures, and severe intellectual disabilities was observed in a geri-chair with a lap tray. The Pre-Restraining assessment summary indicated that the resident could remove the lap tray, and the facility did not consider it a restraint. However, during observations and interviews, it was found that the resident was unable to remove the lap tray. The Quarterly MDS assessment was inaccurately coded, failing to indicate the use of a restraint for the resident. Interviews with nursing staff confirmed the resident's inability to remove the lap tray, and the MDS assessment did not accurately reflect this restraint use.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Measures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident identified as high risk for falls. The resident, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including muscle wasting, mobility issues, and cognitive impairments, had a physician's order for a fall mat to be placed on the open side of the bed every shift. Despite this order, observations on two consecutive days revealed that the fall mat was not positioned as required, but instead was found underneath the bed. The resident's care plan also indicated the need for a fall mat due to the high risk of falls, yet the facility did not adhere to this intervention. The Director of Nursing confirmed the oversight during an observation, acknowledging that the fall mat should have been placed on the left side of the bed according to the care plan and physician's order. This failure to follow the care plan and physician's orders represents a deficiency in the facility's care for the resident.
Excessive Water Temperature in Resident's Bathroom
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe environment for residents by not ensuring that the water temperature in a resident's bathroom sink was below 120 degrees Fahrenheit. During an observation on January 6, 2025, the water temperature in the bathroom sink of a resident was found to be 127.6 degrees Fahrenheit. A subsequent observation with the facility's administrator and maintenance supervisor confirmed the water temperature was 127.7 degrees Fahrenheit, exceeding the safe limit. The administrator acknowledged that the water temperature was too high and should not exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Resident-to-Resident Physical Abuse Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from physical abuse by another resident, resulting in actual harm. On the evening of October 5, 2024, a resident was sitting outside when another resident approached and struck him with an object across the left side of his face. The assaulted resident attempted to walk away, but the aggressor hit him again on the right side of the face. The incident was reported to the sheriff's department, and both residents were sent to a hospital for evaluation. The assaulted resident had a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, syncope, altered mental status, schizoaffective disorder, mood disorder, dementia, and unspecified psychosis. His cognitive impairment was moderate, and he required supervision for mobility and transfers. There were no prior reports of aggressive behavior from him. The aggressor, who had diagnoses including alcohol use and major depression with psychotic symptoms, was cognitively intact and also required supervision for mobility. The incident was unprovoked, as both residents had been seen earlier in the day interacting without any signs of conflict. The facility's investigation revealed that the aggressor had retrieved a long object from inside the building before attacking the other resident. The incident was captured on camera, showing the aggressor striking the resident twice. The facility's staff were unaware of the altercation until the assaulted resident reported it at the nurse's station. The aggressor admitted to the assault when questioned by staff, and immediate actions were taken to ensure the safety of both residents.
