Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at River Chase Village during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility inaccurately reported direct care staffing hours to CMS for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The lack of a staffing policy and the transition to a web-based time log system for agency CNAs led to discrepancies in reported hours. The previous Administrator did not verify actual hours worked by agency CNAs, resulting in excessively low weekend staffing data.
A facility failed to update a care plan for a resident with Diabetes Mellitus to include the use of a CGM device. The resident, who had difficulty with finger sticks, was using the device to monitor blood glucose levels, but this was not reflected in the care plan. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness and communication about the device, and the facility lacked a specific policy for CGM use.
A facility failed to follow professional standards for blood glucose monitoring by not ensuring standardized documentation, physician orders, or staff training for a resident using a CGM device. The resident, with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, used the CGM due to sore fingers from frequent finger sticks, but the facility lacked protocols for its use. Staff were unaware of the need for formal procedures, and the DON and NP were not informed of the CGM's use, leading to a deficiency in care standards.
The facility failed to properly label and date food in the refrigerator and freezer, and did not dispose of spoiled foods, as observed during a kitchen inspection. Items such as cucumbers with mold, discolored lettuce, and unlabeled chicken tenders and pepperoni were found. The Dietary Manager and Registered Dietitian confirmed the expectations for proper food storage, but compliance was not ensured.
Inaccurate Staffing Data Reporting to CMS
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately report direct care staffing hours to CMS for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The Administrator's statement revealed that the facility lacked a staffing policy, and the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) Staffing Data Report indicated excessively low weekend staffing. The Director of Nursing (DON) was unaware of the low staffing trigger and stated that she was responsible for nursing staff scheduling, while the Admissions department handled scheduling for Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs). The Administrator, who was no longer employed at the facility, was responsible for verifying staffing data before submission to CMS. The current Administrator was unsure who received notifications about the low staffing data and confirmed the use of a significant number of agency staff during the period. The Admissions Coordinator, responsible for scheduling CNAs, explained that the facility frequently used agency CNAs, who transitioned from paper to a web-based time log system during the fourth quarter. The system required CNAs to use a mobile application for clocking in and out, which relied on GPS tracking and a powered-on phone. If the phone battery died, the system failed to record worked hours, leading to potential discrepancies in the PBJ staffing data. The Admissions Coordinator reported receiving calls from agency CNAs about battery issues, requiring manual adjustments to their hours. The previous Administrator did not confirm the actual hours worked by agency CNAs before submitting the PBJ report, contributing to the inaccurate reporting.
Failure to Update Care Plan for CGM Device Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to revise a comprehensive care plan for a resident with Diabetes Mellitus to include interventions related to a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device. The resident, who was admitted with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Without Complications, was observed wearing a CGM device, which she had received in March 2024 due to difficulty with finger sticks. Despite the resident's use of the CGM device to monitor her blood glucose levels and inform nurses about her insulin needs, the care plan did not reflect this change in her care. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness and communication regarding the resident's use of the CGM device. An LPN acknowledged that the care plan should have been updated to include the CGM device upon its receipt. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator stated that care plans should be revised whenever there is a change in a resident's condition or care needs, but the facility did not have a specific policy addressing the use of CGM devices. This oversight indicates a failure to update the care plan in accordance with the resident's current medical needs and the facility's policy on comprehensive care plans.
Deficiency in Blood Glucose Monitoring Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for blood glucose monitoring, specifically in the case of a resident using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device. The facility did not have standardized documentation or physician orders for the use of the CGM device, nor did it provide staff training on its use and maintenance. The resident, who had been using the CGM device since March 2024 due to sore fingers from frequent finger sticks, reported her blood glucose levels to the nurses, but there were no formal protocols in place for when to use the CGM versus a traditional glucometer. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness and training regarding the CGM device. The Director of Nursing (DON) was unaware of the resident's use of the CGM device, and the Nurse Practitioner had advised that policies and procedures needed to be established before implementing CGM use, but no follow-up occurred. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and a Registered Nurse (RN) confirmed they used the CGM readings for blood glucose monitoring without formal training or physician orders, and the facility's glucometer was only used if the CGM device displayed 'Hi' or 'Low'. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Without Complications, had been admitted to the facility in February 2024. Her Medication Administration Records (MARs) documented blood sugar results but did not specify the method of obtaining these results. The lack of a facility policy regarding the use of CGM devices and the absence of standardized procedures and training contributed to the deficiency in professional standards of care.
Deficiency in Food Storage and Labeling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to proper food storage and labeling standards as observed during a kitchen inspection. During the inspection, it was noted that Refrigerator #1 contained a clear plastic bag with three cucumbers, one of which had mold-like growth, and two others showing signs of breakdown. Additionally, a bag of discolored brown shredded lettuce was found. In the freezer, an opened bag of chicken tenders and an opened bag of pepperoni were observed without labels or opened dates. In the dry goods area, several items, including Oreo pieces, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla wafers, were found in ziplock bags without proper labeling or dating. The Dietary Manager confirmed these observations and acknowledged that staff were expected to follow guidelines for proper food storage. The Registered Dietitian also confirmed that staff were expected to adhere to ServSafe standards and policies regarding food dating, labeling, and storage. Despite previous staff training on these standards, the facility failed to ensure compliance, leading to the observed deficiencies in food storage and labeling.
