Health deficiencies cited at Twilight Gardens Nursing And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to Include Residents in Care Plan Conferences: The facility did not ensure care plan conferences were completed or that residents were invited to participate for four reviewed residents. One resident with moderate cognitive impairment, one resident with severe cognitive impairment and complex respiratory/renal needs, and two residents with psychiatric diagnoses had missing or incomplete multidisciplinary care conferences, and staff confirmed the facility was behind on care planning for new admissions and that some conferences were not completed.
Failure to Initiate Baseline Care Plan Within 48 Hours: A resident admitted with depressive disorder, anxiety, type 2 DM, and CKD had moderate cognitive impairment, but no baseline care plan was documented within 48 hours of admission. The DON verified the care plan was not in place, and the facility policy required a baseline plan to meet the resident’s immediate health and safety needs until the comprehensive care plan was completed.
Failure to use PPE during EBP care: A resident with severe cognitive impairment, urinary incontinence, trach, G-tube, and wounds was on physician-ordered EBP. During incontinence care, a CNA wore gloves but no gown even though a door sign and available PPE indicated gown and gloves were required for high-contact care; the CNA said he forgot, and the IP confirmed the expectation.
The facility failed to notify a resident’s emergency contacts when the resident, who had COPD, CHF, chronic renal failure, low cognitive function, and dependence in ADLs, was transferred to the hospital on two separate occasions for acute respiratory issues and subsequent evaluation. Documentation showed significant declines in SpO2, changes in responsiveness and behavior, and the need for EMS transport, yet progress notes, RT notes, and quality improvement tools contained no evidence that the resident’s family or emergency contacts were informed, despite facility policy and staff statements that families should be notified of hospital transfers.
Failure to Include Residents in Care Plan Conferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure residents were included in care plan conference meetings and failed to complete care conferences for four reviewed residents. Resident #24 was admitted with diagnoses including depressive disorder, anxiety, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease, and the admission MDS showed moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the record from admission through 03/19/26 showed no documentation of a care plan conference and no documentation that the resident was invited to attend one; the resident also stated she had not been invited to participate in care planning meetings. The SSD stated care conferences should occur upon admission, quarterly, and as needed, and that letters were sent to residents and representatives, but later verified this resident had not had a care conference and that the facility was behind with care planning conferences for new admissions. Resident #50 was admitted with acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, COPD, dependence on renal dialysis, dependence on ventilator status, gastrostomy status, and urinary incontinence, and the MDS showed severe cognitive impairment. The record showed a care plan noting the resident should be invited to care conferences, but there was no documentation of an admission care plan conference or invitation to the resident or representative. Resident #13, admitted with paranoid schizophrenia, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder, had a quarterly MDS showing intact cognition and dependence for toileting, bathing, and transferring; the record showed a multidisciplinary care conference entry on 09/02/25 that was not completed, and no further care conferences until 11/11/25. Resident #9, admitted with paranoid schizophrenia, exudative age-related macular degeneration of the right eye, anxiety, and major depressive disorder, had intact cognition and was independent with ADLs; the record showed a multidisciplinary care conference on 06/17/25 that was not completed. The DON confirmed the incomplete care conferences for Residents #13 and #9, and the facility policy stated the comprehensive person-centered care plan is developed within seven days of the completed MDS and no more than 21 days after admission, with resident participation in care plan development and implementation.
Failure to Initiate Baseline Care Plan Within 48 Hours
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to initiate a baseline care plan for Resident #24 within 48 hours of admission. Resident #24 was admitted on 02/04/26 with diagnoses including depressive disorder, anxiety, type two diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease, and the admission MDS assessment indicated moderate cognitive impairment. Review of the resident’s assessments showed no documentation that a baseline care plan had been initiated upon admission. During interview on 03/19/26 at 8:25 A.M., the DON verified that Resident #24 did not have a baseline care plan in place within 48 hours of admission and stated that the baseline care plan task was listed on the resident’s admission checklist for clinical staff to complete. The facility policy, Care Plans-Baseline, revised 03/2022, stated that a baseline plan of care to meet the resident’s immediate health and safety needs would be developed for each resident within forty-eight hours of admission and used until the comprehensive assessment and interdisciplinary person-centered comprehensive care plan were completed.
Failure to Use PPE During EBP Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure PPE was worn during care for a resident with physician-ordered enhanced barrier precautions (EBP). Resident #50 was admitted on 02/24/26 and had diagnoses including acute and chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, COPD, dependence on renal dialysis, ventilator dependence, gastrostomy status, and urinary incontinence. The resident’s MDS showed severe cognitive impairment, and the resident was dependent on staff for toileting and personal hygiene and was always incontinent of bladder. A physician order dated 02/26/26 directed EBP, and the care plan noted the resident was on EBP due to increased infection risk related to tracheostomy, gastrostomy, and wounds. During observation on 03/19/26 at 9:27 A.M., CNA #508 was providing incontinence care while wearing gloves but not a gown, despite a sign on the door indicating the resident was on EBP and that staff should wear a gown and gloves during high-contact care, including hygiene and incontinence brief changes. PPE was available in an organizer bag hanging on the door. In interview, CNA #508 verified he was providing incontinence care and stated he forgot to wear a gown. The Infection Preventionist confirmed the resident was on EBP and that staff should wear a gown and gloves during care. The facility policy stated EBP requires gown and gloves during high-contact resident care activities such as hygiene, changing briefs, and toileting assistance.
Failure to Notify Family of Resident Hospital Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to notify a resident’s emergency contacts when the resident was transferred to the hospital on two separate occasions. The resident had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure, with a low cognitive function and dependence on staff for activities of daily living. Her care plan noted behavior problems, including physical and verbal abuse toward staff and refusal of treatments. Contact information in the record showed that the resident was her own responsible party, with one daughter listed as the first emergency contact and authorized HIPAA contact, and another daughter listed as an additional emergency contact. Facility policy required that, unless otherwise instructed by the resident, a nurse would notify the resident’s representative when it was necessary to transfer the resident to a hospital or treatment center. On the first incident, respiratory therapy documentation showed that during routine rounding the resident’s SpO2 was 84% on six liters of oxygen, with intermittent jerking of extremities, drowsiness, and minimal response to stimuli. Despite suctioning and ventilator adjustments, her SpO2 dropped to 74–85%, leading staff to initiate manual bag ventilation and call emergency medical services, who then transferred her to the hospital. A progress note documented hospitalization for sepsis due to a urinary tract infection but contained no evidence of family notification. On the second incident, respiratory therapy notes documented that the resident was lethargic compared to her usual anxious, energetic behavior, with SpO2 in the low 80s on six liters of oxygen, requiring an increase to 10 liters to reach 94%, and edema in her fingers. EMS was again called and the resident was transferred to the emergency department, but the medical record and quality improvement tools for both transfer dates were void of any documentation that her emergency contacts were notified. Staff interviews, including with the DON, confirmed the expectation that families should be notified and verified the absence of such documentation for both transfers.
