Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Life Care Center Of Carrollton during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with dementia and a history of verbal agitation toward another resident struck that resident in the face with an open hand after an argument over a walker, despite facility policies prohibiting abuse. Both residents had dementia, with one having a history of physical aggression toward staff and difficulty making needs known, and the other having impaired communication, mood changes, and prior inappropriate behavior toward staff. Staff reported hearing the residents yelling and arrived as one resident hit the other, and later identified contributing factors such as cognitive impairment, similar-looking walkers, and possible unmet psychosocial needs.
Two residents with cognitive impairments were physically assaulted by another resident with a history of aggressive behavior. The aggressive resident, who had Alzheimer's disease and required frequent supervision, was able to hold one resident down and squeeze their jaw, and later pushed another resident against a wall. Staff intervened during both incidents, but the assaults occurred despite the known behavioral risks and the facility's abuse prevention policies.
A CNA solicited and accepted money from a cognitively intact resident with multiple medical conditions, using the funds for personal expenses and attempting to persuade the resident to move in with them. The incident was discovered after the resident disclosed the financial assistance to staff, leading to an internal investigation and notification of law enforcement. The facility's policies prohibit such misappropriation of resident property, and the resident was identified as being at risk for financial exploitation.
A resident admitted with orders for Atorvastatin and Lantus insulin did not have a physician's order for blood sugar checks, and staff failed to document the administration of Atorvastatin. Interviews with staff revealed lapses in following facility policies for medication administration and blood glucose monitoring.
Failure to Prevent Resident-to-Resident Physical Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to protect a resident’s right to be free from abuse when one resident struck another in the face. Facility policy, updated 04/01/2026, states that all types of abuse, including physical abuse such as hitting and slapping, are prohibited and that residents have the right to be free from abuse. Resident #1’s care plan, dated 12/28/25, documented vascular dementia, a history of hitting staff, and a risk of being unable to make needs known due to dementia. Resident #2’s care plan, dated 01/09/26, documented dementia with impaired communication, risk of mood changes, use of a walker and wheelchair, and a history of inappropriate behavior toward staff but not toward other residents. On 03/25/26, a progress note by an LPN documented that Resident #1 and Resident #2 were yelling at each other, and by the time the LPN reached them, Resident #2 hit Resident #1 on the left side of the face with an open hand. The facility’s abuse investigation recorded that Resident #1 refused to give Resident #2 his/her walker, after which Resident #2 struck Resident #1, and identified contributing factors including cognitive impairment, similar-looking walkers, and possible unmet psychosocial needs such as anxiety and territorial behavior. Interviews with the LPN and CNA confirmed that they considered a resident hitting another resident to be abuse and that Resident #2 had been verbally agitated with Resident #1 in the past and had stated dislike for Resident #1, although there had been no prior physical altercations between them.
Failure to Prevent Resident-to-Resident Physical Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect two residents from physical abuse by another resident, resulting in two separate incidents. In the first incident, a resident with moderate cognitive impairment and a history of Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, and insomnia was observed holding another resident's hands down on their abdomen and squeezing their jaw. This resident had previously exhibited verbally and physically aggressive behaviors, including threatening other residents and staff, and had required frequent redirection and supervision. The victim in this incident had moderate cognitive impairment, a history of stroke, dementia, and hemiplegia, and required substantial assistance with activities of daily living. In the second incident, the same aggressive resident pushed another resident against a wall and was observed being threatening. The victim in this case had severe cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and arthritis, and also required substantial assistance with daily activities. Both incidents were witnessed by staff, who intervened to separate the residents. Documentation and interviews confirm that the aggressive resident had a pattern of agitation and aggressive outbursts, particularly in response to loud noises or other residents' behaviors, and that staff had to frequently redirect and monitor this individual. Despite the known behavioral risks and the facility's policies to prevent abuse, the aggressive resident was able to physically assault two other residents. The facility's records show that the aggressive resident had a history of escalating behaviors, including threats and physical altercations, prior to the incidents. Staff interviews confirmed that the incidents were recognized as potential abuse and that the residents involved had not previously had issues with one another. The facility's failure to prevent these altercations resulted in a deficiency related to protecting residents from abuse.
Staff Solicitation and Acceptance of Money from Resident
Penalty
Summary
A certified nursing assistant (CNA) requested and accepted money from a cognitively intact resident who was independent with all activities of daily living and had diagnoses including right leg above the knee amputation, end stage renal disease, depression, schizophrenia, and anxiety. The CNA told the resident that they were at risk of losing their home and unable to pay bills, which led the resident to provide money to the CNA. The resident reported giving the CNA varying amounts of money, with the most consistent figure being $220, which the CNA used to pay a cell phone bill. The CNA also attempted to persuade the resident to move in with them, further blurring professional boundaries. The incident was discovered when the resident informed other staff members that they had been financially helping the CNA. Staff interviews and facility documentation confirmed that the CNA had solicited and accepted money from the resident, and that the CNA had attempted to move the resident out of the facility. The administrator was notified and began an investigation, which included alerting the resident's representative, the primary care provider, and law enforcement. The police were informed but did not pursue criminal charges, though they noted the incident was a clear policy violation. The facility's abuse prevention policy prohibits misappropriation of resident property, including the unauthorized or coerced use of a resident's money by staff. The resident's care plan identified them as being at risk for financial abuse and exploitation due to their willingness to give money to others. Despite this, the CNA was able to exploit the resident for personal financial gain, and the facility did not initially reimburse the resident for the money taken.
Failure to Adhere to Medication and Monitoring Protocols for New Admission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that staff provided services meeting professional standards of quality care, specifically in the management of a new admission, Resident #3. The resident was admitted with physician orders for Atorvastatin Calcium for hyperlipidemia and Lantus insulin for diabetes mellitus. However, the staff did not obtain a physician's order to check blood sugars, which is essential for a resident on insulin therapy. Additionally, the staff failed to document the administration of Atorvastatin on the resident's medication administration record (MAR) for two consecutive days, and there was no documentation of blood sugar checks during the resident's stay. Interviews with facility staff, including the Infection Preventionist, LPN, and Director of Nursing, revealed lapses in following the facility's policies for medication administration and blood glucose monitoring. The LPN admitted the resident and acknowledged the failure to obtain a physician's order for blood sugars and could not recall if the Atorvastatin was ordered from the pharmacy. The Director of Nursing confirmed that there should have been an order for blood sugars and that the resident should have received the Atorvastatin. These deficiencies in care affected the resident's treatment and highlighted a lack of adherence to professional standards and facility policies.
