Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at River Valley Skilled Nursing And Therapy during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident had repeated pneumonia and a lower respiratory tract infection, with orders for antibiotics including Levaquin and Doxycycline. Review of the record and revised care plan showed no interventions for preventing or treating the recurring pneumonia. The DON stated treatment was per MD orders and there were no prevention interventions, and the MDS coordinator confirmed there was no care plan for the resident’s active or recurring pneumonia.
An LPN failed to change gloves during indwelling catheter care for a resident with urinary retention, BPH, and a stage 2 sacral pressure ulcer. While providing care, the LPN handled the incontinent brief, bed covers, overbed table, and the resident’s water pitcher with the same soiled gloves. The resident required assistance with bowel incontinence and catheter care, and the DON later verified the LPN should have changed gloves.
The facility failed to notify the physician of significant weight loss for a resident admitted with a hip fracture and parkinsonism. The resident lost 18.34% of body weight from admission, and although a dietitian note identified the significant loss and directed staff to alert the physician, the chart showed no physician notification. CMA staff stated the weight loss was overlooked, and the DON confirmed the physician had not been notified.
A facility failed to follow proper food safety practices by using the same tongs for both raw and cooked meat without washing them in between. This was observed during a kitchen inspection and confirmed by a staff member, affecting the food services provided to 49 residents.
The facility did not follow the prescribed menu for pureed diets, as a staff member blended four chicken fried steak patties with only one piece of bread instead of the required four. This error was observed during meal service, and the staff member later acknowledged the mistake, with the CDM confirming the correct procedure.
Incomplete Care Plan for Recurring Pneumonia
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a comprehensive care plan was developed for Resident #4 to address recurring pneumonia. Record review showed physician orders for Levaquin on 08/01/25 for pneumonia, Doxycycline on 12/29/25 for pneumonia, and Doxycycline again on 03/12/26 for a lower respiratory tract infection. Review of the resident’s health record and revised care plan did not show any interventions for preventing or treating recurring pneumonia. During interview on 03/18/26, the DON stated the resident did not come out of their room and that the interventions for treating pneumonia were per physician’s orders, but there were no interventions to prevent recurring pneumonia. The MDS coordinator also stated there was no care plan for prevention or treatment of the resident’s pneumonia and that active and recurring pneumonia should have been included in the care plan.
Infection Control Precautions Not Followed During Catheter Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure infection control precautions were used during indwelling catheter care for one resident reviewed for infection control practices. During observation on 03/18/26, an LPN donned a gown and gloves, placed the front of an incontinent brief flat on the bed between the resident’s legs, and began indwelling catheter care. The LPN then secured the tabs on the incontinent brief, adjusted the bed covers, returned the overbed table beside the bed, and picked up the resident’s water pitcher to place it within reach, all while wearing the same gloves used during catheter care and without changing gloves. Resident #1 had diagnoses including urinary retention, benign prostate hyperplasia, and a stage 2 pressure ulcer of the sacral region. The resident’s 5-day MDS showed intact cognition and that the resident required assistance with bowel incontinence and indwelling catheter care. The care plan identified an indwelling catheter and enhanced barrier precautions. When interviewed, the LPN stated they felt everything was done correctly during the catheter care. The DON later stated there was no skills check sheet to evaluate correct catheter care procedures and verified the LPN should have changed gloves.
Failure to Notify Physician of Significant Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician of severe weight loss for Resident #7, who was admitted with diagnoses including a left hip fracture and parkinsonism and weighed 193 pounds on the admission assessment. A nutrition progress note documented that the resident had significant weight loss and stated to alert the physician, and the weight log later showed the resident weighed 157.6 pounds, reflecting an 18.34% weight loss from admission. The chart review showed no notifications to the physician regarding the significant weight loss between 02/16/26 and 03/16/26. During interview, CMA #1 stated that CNAs or CMAs obtained resident weights and that they overlooked the weight loss for Resident #7 and did not report it to the charge nurse. The DON stated that resident weights were monitored monthly and reported gain or loss to the physician, but after reviewing Resident #7's weight log, confirmed the physician had not been notified of the significant weight loss.
Improper Utensil Use in Food Preparation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper food safety practices were followed in the kitchen, specifically regarding the use of utensils. During an observation, a staff member was seen using the same tongs to handle both raw, frozen chicken fried beef patties and cooked chicken fried beef patties. This practice was confirmed during an interview with the staff member, who acknowledged using the same utensils for raw and cooked meat without washing them in between. This deficiency affected the food services provided to 49 residents who received meals from the kitchen.
Failure to Follow Prescribed Pureed Diet Menu
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to the prescribed menu for pureed diets during a meal service. Specifically, the menu extension for a particular date indicated that the noon pureed meal should include chicken fried beef steak and bread of the day. However, during the preparation of this meal, a staff member blended four chicken fried steak patties with only one piece of bread, instead of the required four pieces. This discrepancy was observed when a resident was served the pureed meat and bread mixture. The staff member later acknowledged the error, stating that they should have used two pieces of bread, while the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) confirmed that four pieces were necessary.
