Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Claiborne County Senior Care during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to manage significant weight loss: A resident with Alzheimer's, abnormal weight loss, and moderate cognitive impairment lost weight from 140 lbs to 114 lbs over several months. Staff and the RD reported the resident often refused meals, preferred sweets/junk food, and ate 0% of observed meals; the RD noted she did not think about ordering an appetite enhancer, and the MD said the weight loss was contributed to dementia.
Failure to monitor excessive sedation with concurrent psychotropic medications. A resident with dementia was receiving five sedating/psychotropic meds, including Ativan, Haldol, Restoril, Seroquel, and Trazodone, while staff repeatedly observed the resident asleep during the day, difficult to awaken, and drowsier after the midday Ativan dose. An LPN, CNA, DON, pharmacist, and physician all acknowledged the resident’s ongoing daytime sleepiness and the lack of notification or medication reassessment, and no GDRs had been completed for the regimen.
Failure to Use EBP During IV Medication Administration: An RN administered IV ceftriaxone to a resident without wearing a gown as required for EBP. The RN stated she did not know EBP PPE was needed for IV drug administration and said the facility used EBP for catheter and PEG tube care but not for IV site care unless it was a central line. The DON and infection preventionist stated EBP is intended to prevent spread of MDROs and protect residents with indwelling devices such as IVs.
Failure to Maintain a Sanitary Environment Free of Gnats: Gnats were observed in the day room, dining room, and a resident room, including around residents' food and during feeding and peri care. CNAs reported the gnats had been present for about two weeks, Maintenance confirmed a door on C hall had not closed properly and that the facility had a gnat problem for over two weeks, and the DON acknowledged seeing gnats around residents' food. Pest control invoices documented gnats in the facility on multiple occasions.
A resident with schizophrenia and major depressive disorder had a PRN order for Haldol Decanoate that was not discontinued after the required fourteen-day period, as confirmed by facility policy and staff interviews. The order remained active despite not being administered, and the oversight was attributed to human error by the DON.
Staff failed to follow proper peri-care procedures for two dependent residents, including not using barriers, using soiled gloves to handle supplies, and not thoroughly cleaning the perineal area. Both residents had significant medical conditions and required total assistance with hygiene. The DON confirmed that staff did not adhere to established peri-care protocols.
Surveyors found that kitchen staff did not label or date opened food items in the freezer and dry storage, and failed to record required food temperatures for breakfast, contrary to facility policy. The Dietary Manager, Registered Dietitian, and Administrator all confirmed that these procedures were not followed as expected.
A resident dependent on toileting and hygiene received peri-care from two CNAs who failed to follow infection control protocols. Items were placed on a bedside table without a barrier, and wipes were repeatedly pulled from the pack with soiled gloves during care. Staff interviews confirmed that proper procedures, including glove hygiene and use of barriers, were not followed, increasing the risk of cross-contamination.
Failure to Manage Significant Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide sufficient weight management for a resident with significant weight loss. The resident had diagnoses including Alzheimer's early onset and abnormal weight loss, and the Minimum Data Set showed moderate cognitive impairment. The resident's weight declined from 140 lbs on 12/16/2025 to 118 lbs on 03/10/2026, 116 lbs on 04/07/2026, and 114 lbs on 05/05/2026. The facility policy stated that residents identified with nutrition problems or at risk for inadequate nutrition/hydration should be evaluated and monitored by the DFNS or consultant dietician to ensure timely interventions to maintain or improve nutrition status. Staff interviews and observations showed the resident frequently did not eat meals and preferred junk food, soda, and sweets. A CNA stated the resident did not eat breakfast or lunch and often ate only if food was something she liked. The RD stated the resident only wanted sweets and that staff reported she ate junk food; the RD also stated she did not think about ordering an appetite enhancer and said she should have ordered it. During observation, the resident refused the dinner tray and ate 0% of the meal. The RD assessment identified significant weight loss over 90 and 180 days and recommended Boost with the morning tray. The DON confirmed the resident had significant weight loss, and the MD stated the weight loss was contributed to dementia.
Failure to Monitor Excessive Sedation With Concurrent Psychotropic Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was free from unnecessary medications by not monitoring and responding to clinically significant adverse effects, specifically excessive daytime sedation, while the resident was receiving five concurrent sedating/psychotropic medications. The resident had a diagnosis of unspecified dementia and was ordered Ativan, Haloperidol, Restoril, Seroquel, and Trazodone. Facility policy stated that unnecessary medications would not be given to the resident. During observations, the resident was repeatedly found asleep in bed or in common areas and was not easily awakened. The resident was observed asleep in the dining room while seated upright in a wheelchair with her head bobbing while waiting for a meal tray, and later asleep in the day room when an LPN had to physically pat her shoulder to administer scheduled Ativan. The resident fell back asleep immediately after the interaction. A CNA stated the resident slept almost all day and most of the night, and the LPN stated the resident typically slept throughout the day and often became drowsier after the lunchtime Ativan dose. Staff interviews confirmed awareness of the resident’s drowsiness and the concurrent use of five sedating medications, but no one had contacted the physician about the excessive daytime sleepiness. The physician stated the combination could be a little much and noted Ativan had originally been intended as a short-term, as-needed medication, but he had not been notified of the concern. The DON acknowledged the resident’s prior behavioral issues and stated the medications had not been reassessed after the resident returned from a recent hospitalization. The pharmacist reported that no staff had reported unwanted side effects and that no dose reductions had occurred for Ativan, Restoril, Seroquel, Trazodone, or Haloperidol.
Failure to Use EBP During IV Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure staff implemented Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during intravenous (IV) drug administration for one resident. On 05/13/2026 at 9:20 AM, RN #1 administered ceftriaxone 1 gram through an IV in the resident’s right arm without donning a gown before accessing, flushing, and administering the medication. During an interview at 9:30 AM, RN #1 stated she was unaware that EBP personal protective equipment, such as a gown, should be worn during IV drug administration. She also stated the facility followed EBP guidelines during catheter care and PEG tube administration but not during IV site care, unless it was a central line. The resident was admitted with diagnoses that included UTI, and the active order summary showed ceftriaxone 1 gram intravenously every 24 hours for 3 days. The DON stated the purpose of EBP was to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms and that staff were expected to follow EBP guidelines as recommended by CMS. The infection preventionist stated EBP was necessary to protect residents with indwelling medical devices such as IVs, catheters, or PEG tubes from infections, and that the facility was unaware IV sites were to be included in EBP protocol.
Failure to Maintain a Sanitary Environment Free of Gnats
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a sanitary environment free of gnats on the Alzheimer's unit and in resident care and dining areas. The facility policy for Resident Environmental Quality stated the environment was to be maintained to provide a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public. During observation, several gnats were seen flying around in the day room while residents were watching TV, and gnats were also observed around resident lunch trays in the dining room. Gnats were observed in a resident's room during peri care, circling around a resident's dinner tray, and present in the day room before dinner trays arrived. CNAs stated the gnats had been in the day room for a while and had been bad in the room for about two weeks, with one CNA swatting at gnats while feeding a resident. Maintenance stated a door on C hall would not close properly and confirmed there had been a problem with gnats in the facility for over two weeks. The acting NHA stated she was not aware of the gnat problem, while the DON confirmed awareness and stated she had seen them around residents' food. Pest control invoices showed gnats were identified in the facility on 3/16/26, 4/28/26, and 5/13/26.
Failure to Discontinue PRN Psychotropic Medication Order Within Required Timeframe
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to discontinue an as-needed (PRN) order for a psychotropic medication, Haldol Decanoate, beyond the allowable fourteen-day period for one resident. A review of the resident's physician orders showed an order for Haldol Decanoate 50 mg/mL to be administered intramuscularly as needed for agitation and aggressive behavior, with a maximum of 100 mg per month. This PRN order was not discontinued after fourteen days as required, despite the resident not receiving any PRN doses during the review period. The facility's policy and interviews with the nurse practitioner, pharmacy consultant, and DON confirmed that such orders must be discontinued after fourteen days unless a physician conducts a physical evaluation and rewrites the order. The resident involved had diagnoses of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder and was cognitively intact, as indicated by a BIMS score of 15. The oversight was acknowledged by the DON as a human error, and it was confirmed that both the DON and the charge nurse are responsible for ensuring timely discontinuation or renewal of such orders. The deficiency was identified through observation, interview, and record review, and was not associated with any administration of the PRN medication during the period in question.
Failure to Provide Proper Perineal Care for Dependent Residents
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that staff failed to provide perineal care in accordance with professional standards for two residents. For one resident, a CNA placed care items on a nightstand without a barrier, used soiled gloves to repeatedly pull wipes from the pack, and did not fully clean the resident, as evidenced by the presence of fecal smears during a recheck. Both CNAs involved acknowledged that inadequate peri-care was provided and that smears of feces remained after the initial cleaning. The resident was dependent on staff for toileting and hygiene and had diagnoses including acute kidney failure and vascular dementia. For another resident, a CNA performed peri-care but failed to wipe down both labial sides, only wiping the center of the labia once. This was confirmed by both the assisting CNA and the CNA who performed the care, who stated that the proper procedure was not followed. The resident was also dependent on staff for toileting and hygiene and had a history of urinary tract infection and Alzheimer's disease. The DON confirmed that the expected procedure was not followed in both cases.
Failure to Label, Date, and Record Food Safety Measures
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified that the facility failed to adhere to established guidelines for labeling and dating opened food items in both the freezer and dry goods storage areas. During an initial kitchen tour with the Dietary Manager, surveyors observed an open, unlabeled box of egg rolls and a repackaged but undated bag of biscuits in the freezer. In the dry goods area, several opened and repackaged items, including white cake mix, brownie mix, blueberry muffin mix, gelatin mix, and graham cracker crusts, were found without open dates. The Dietary Manager acknowledged these findings at the time of inspection. Additionally, the facility failed to record food temperatures in the temperature log for breakfast on one of the survey days, as required by facility policy. Review of facility policies confirmed that all food items not in their original packaging must be labeled and dated, and that storage temperatures should be recorded. Both the Registered Dietitian and the Administrator confirmed that staff are expected to follow these procedures, but the required practices were not followed during the survey period.
Failure to Follow Infection Control Protocol During Incontinent Care
Penalty
Summary
During an observation of peri-care for Resident #9, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #1 placed items on the nightstand without using a barrier, contrary to facility policy. Both CNAs washed their hands and donned clean gloves before CNA #1 began cleaning the resident's vaginal area, pulling wipes from the pack multiple times while wearing soiled gloves. The resident had feces present in the back of her brief. After removing gloves and sanitizing hands, CNA #1 continued care in the buttocks area but again pulled wipes from the pack with contaminated gloves. CNA #1 acknowledged during an interview that wipes should not have been pulled from the pack with soiled gloves and that a barrier should have been used on the bedside table, with all needed wipes removed prior to starting care. Interviews with CNA #2, the Infection Preventionist (RN #1), and the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the established procedures for peri-care were not followed, specifically regarding the prevention of cross-contamination. The facility's policy requires the use of a barrier and proper glove hygiene to prevent infection. Resident #9, who is dependent on toileting and hygiene and has diagnoses including acute kidney failure and vascular dementia, was at risk due to these lapses in infection control practices.
