Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Green Meadows Nursing & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that the facility failed to keep the automatic sprinkler system free of extraneous weight, with multiple wires and flex conduit observed attached to or laying across sprinkler piping in several areas above the ceiling. Facility leadership confirmed these items were present and supported by the sprinkler system.
The facility did not provide documentation verifying that annual inspections and testing of electrical receptacles in resident care areas were completed, as required by NFPA 99. This deficiency was confirmed by both the Administrator and the Director of Maintenance, and affected all smoke zones within the component.
Fifteen rooms on a dementia care unit were found without fresh water or with water cups dated weeks prior, while other rooms had currently dated water. Staff interviews confirmed knowledge of the hydration lapse, and facility leadership was unaware until informed by surveyors.
Three resident rooms lacked privacy curtains, and eighteen rooms had soiled or stained privacy curtains on the 1st floor dementia care unit. This failure to provide adequate privacy and maintain clean equipment was confirmed by facility leadership.
A resident's clinical record and care plan indicated Full Code status, while a POLST signed by the resident reflected a DNR preference. The DON confirmed the inconsistency, showing the facility did not ensure the resident's advance directives were accurately documented.
A resident's MDS assessment was inaccurately coded to indicate the presence of an indwelling catheter, despite no clinical evidence supporting this. Staff confirmed the error during an interview, acknowledging the assessment did not accurately reflect the resident's status.
A resident with major depressive disorder was prescribed Mirtazapine, but staff did not monitor for side effects or document the medication's effectiveness. The DON confirmed that no such monitoring was conducted.
A resident with encephalopathy and an order for a Kennedy Cup was repeatedly observed drinking from a regular cup with a straw instead of the prescribed assistive device. Staff interviews confirmed knowledge of the resident not using the Kennedy Cup as ordered, and the care plan documented the need for meal assistance due to intellectual disability.
Two residents did not receive their prescribed medications as ordered because the facility was waiting for pharmacy delivery, as confirmed by the DON. The medications included treatments for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, COPD, post-surgical aftercare, and hypopituitarism, and were not available for administration as scheduled.
The facility failed to meet required staffing levels for nurse aides on several occasions, with insufficient coverage during day, evening, and night shifts. These deficiencies were confirmed by staffing documents and the DON.
The facility did not meet the required 3.2 hours of direct nursing care per resident per day on several occasions in February 2025. The nursing hours ranged from 2.80 to 3.19, as confirmed by the DON.
The facility did not comply with its food labeling and storage policy, as observed in the dry storage area of the kitchen. Eight opened bags of uncooked pasta lacked labels with the food item name and use-by date and were not properly sealed. The Dietary Director confirmed these deficiencies, which violated the facility's 2017 policy.
A facility failed to document catheter care for a resident with a suprapubic catheter, as required by their policy. The policy mandates catheter care every shift and as needed, with documentation and reporting of any concerns. However, a review of the resident's clinical record showed no evidence of such documentation, a deficiency confirmed by the DON.
A resident's UA C+S test results were finalized but not reported to the physician for three days, delaying treatment for a urinary tract infection. The DON confirmed the delay in communication.
Sprinkler System Not Maintained Free of Extraneous Weight
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors determined that the facility failed to maintain the automatic sprinkler system free of extraneous weight in three of twelve smoke compartments. During observations conducted above the ceiling in multiple areas, including the 2nd floor above the Nurses' Station, the North Hall by a resident room, and the 3rd floor above the Nurses' Station, various items such as multiple wires and flex conduit were found laying across or attached to the sprinkler piping system and its brackets. These findings were confirmed during an interview with the Administrator and Director of Maintenance, who acknowledged the presence of these items attached to and supported by the sprinkler pipe system. No information about specific residents, their medical history, or their condition at the time of the deficiency was provided in the report.
Plan Of Correction
Remove existing wiring (various items) from sprinkler piping, in the locations noted, and install separate hanging devices as needed using an above ceiling permit program. Education of the requirements will be provided to the appropriate staff. Audits of above ceiling work will be conducted, monthly x3. Findings will be reviewed in monthly QAPI meetings.
Failure to Document Annual Electrical Receptacle Inspections
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors determined that the facility failed to provide documentation verifying that annual inspections and testing of electrical receptacles in resident care areas had been completed. During a document review, it was found that there was no evidence to confirm that electrical receptacles had been tested within the last 12 months in any of the twelve smoke zones of the component. This lack of documentation was identified during a review conducted between 9:30 AM and 10:35 AM on December 18, 2023. At the exit conference, both the Administrator and the Director of Maintenance confirmed that there was no documentation available to show that the required annual electrical inspections had been performed. The deficiency specifically relates to the absence of records for the testing of electrical receptacles in resident care areas, as required by NFPA 99 standards.
Plan Of Correction
Facility will ensure documentation of annual inspections of electrical receptacles in resident care areas is completed and will include in building Management Software task list as an annual inspection. Education on the inspection of and documentation of electrical receptacles utilizing the annual inspection report in building Management Software task list will be provided to the appropriate staff. Audits will be completed semi-annually to check on schedule and confirm results are filed in life safety book. Findings will be reviewed in monthly QAPI meetings.
Failure to Provide Adequate Hydration to Residents
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to provide adequate hydration to residents in fifteen out of thirty-two rooms on the first floor dementia care unit. During observations conducted over three consecutive days, it was found that rooms 100 through 115 either had no cups of fresh water available for residents or the cups present were dated between November 14 and December 1, indicating that the water had not been replaced for an extended period. In contrast, rooms 116 through 132 had currently dated cups with fresh water. Specific rooms, such as 113 and 114, were noted to have water cups dated as far back as November 14, and room 101 had a cup dated December 1. All other rooms in the 100 to 115 range had no water cups at all. Interviews with staff confirmed awareness of the lack of fresh water in these rooms. A registered nurse acknowledged knowledge of the issue, and when the findings were presented to the Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing, they denied prior knowledge of the hydration lapse and indicated they would investigate. The deficiency was cited under federal and state regulations requiring facilities to ensure residents are offered sufficient fluid intake to maintain proper hydration and health.
Plan Of Correction
The facility cannot retroactively correct this issue. All residents were provided fresh water cups for hydration. A facility-wide audit was conducted by the DON/Designee to assure that residents were provided fresh water cups for hydration. The DON/Designee educated nursing staff on the importance of assuring that residents were provided fresh water cups for hydration. Random room audits will be conducted to assure that residents are provided fresh water cups for hydration. Audits will be done weekly for four weeks, then monthly for three months or until compliance is achieved. Results will be discussed at the monthly QAPI.
Deficiency in Resident Room Privacy and Cleanliness
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that three out of thirty-two resident rooms on the 1st floor dementia care unit did not have privacy curtains, and eighteen rooms had privacy curtains that were soiled or had brown stains. These observations were made over a three-day period. The lack of privacy curtains and the presence of soiled curtains were confirmed during interviews with the Nursing Home Administrator and the Director of Nursing. The deficiency was identified as a failure to provide adequate privacy and maintain clean equipment in resident rooms, as required by regulations.
Plan Of Correction
Soiled curtains were immediately replaced with clean privacy curtains and privacy curtains were hung in rooms that were missing privacy curtains. Facility-wide audit conducted by NHA/Designee to ensure resident rooms have privacy curtains and are free from soilage. NHA/Designee provided education to housekeeping and maintenance staff on assuring that resident rooms have privacy curtains in place and free from soilage. NHA/Designee will audit random rooms to ensure privacy curtains are present and free from soilage. Audits will be done weekly x4 then monthly x2 or until compliance is achieved. Results will be discussed at monthly QAPI.
Failure to Ensure Consistent Advance Directives for Code Status
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that advance directives regarding code status were accurately reflected in the clinical record for one resident. Specifically, a review of the resident's clinical record showed a physician's order and care plan indicating Full Code status, while a Physician's Order for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) signed by the resident indicated a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) status. This discrepancy meant that the resident's wishes as documented in the POLST were not aligned with the orders and care plan maintained by the facility. The Director of Nursing confirmed during an interview that the clinical record did not match the POLST signed by the resident. The deficiency was identified through clinical record review and interviews, and it was determined that the facility did not ensure appropriate advance directives were in place and consistent for the resident involved.
Plan Of Correction
Resident 114 code status was reviewed with resident/representative and confirmed desire for DNR status. Care plan, Physician order, and POLST reviewed and revised. Facility-wide audit of POLST, Physician order, and care plan was done to assure clinical record and POLST are consistent with residents' wishes. DON/Designee educated licensed nursing staff and social services staff on the importance of assuring POLST, Physician order, and care plan are consistent with residents' wishes. Random audits will be conducted of resident's clinical record to assure that POLST, Physician order, and care plan are consistent with residents' wishes. Audits will be done daily x 5 days, then weekly x 4, then monthly x 2 or until compliance is achieved. Results will be discussed in monthly QAPI meeting.
Inaccurate MDS Assessment for Catheter Status
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a review of a resident's admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment indicated that the resident had an indwelling catheter, as documented in section H, Bladder and Bowel. However, further examination of the clinical record revealed no evidence that the resident actually had an indwelling catheter at the time of the assessment. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview with a licensed staff member, who acknowledged that the MDS had been coded incorrectly and that the resident did not have an indwelling catheter. The failure to accurately assess and document the resident's status resulted in an inaccurate MDS assessment for this individual.
Plan Of Correction
Resident 29 was discharged. Section H of MDS submitted within the last 14 days will be reviewed to assure clinical record and MDS coding is consistent with resident assessment of bowel and bladder. Administrator/Designee will educate clinical reimbursement staff on ensuring MDS coding is consistent with clinical record for resident assessment of bowel and bladder status. Random audits of Section H of MDS submitted will be conducted to assure clinical record and MDS coding is consistent with resident assessment of bowel and bladder. Audits will be done weekly x4, then monthly x2 or until compliance is achieved. Results will be discussed in monthly QAPI meeting.
Failure to Monitor Antidepressant Therapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that appropriate monitoring for side effects and effectiveness was conducted for an anti-depressant medication prescribed to a resident diagnosed with major depressive disorder. The resident had a physician's order for Mirtazapine to treat depression, but a review of the clinical record did not show any evidence that staff monitored for side effects or documented the effectiveness of the medication. An interview with the Director of Nursing confirmed that no monitoring for side effects or effectiveness of the anti-depressant was performed. This lack of monitoring was identified through clinical record review and was previously cited in earlier surveys.
Plan Of Correction
Resident 35's clinical record was revised to show evidence of monitoring of side effects of the anti-depressant medication and its effectiveness. DON/Designee conducted a facility-wide audit of current residents on antidepressant medications to ensure monitoring of side effects and its effectiveness are in place. DON/Designee educated nursing staff on the importance of monitoring side effects and its effectiveness for residents on antidepressant medications. DON/Designee will randomly audit residents with antidepressant medication to ensure effectiveness and side effects are monitored. Audits will be done weekly x4 then monthly x2 or until compliance is achieved. Results will be discussed at monthly QAPI.
Failure to Provide Prescribed Assistive Drinking Device
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with a medical diagnosis of encephalopathy and an order for a regular diet with a Kennedy Cup, built-up fork, and spoon was not provided with the prescribed assistive drinking device. The resident's physician order, dated May 21, 2025, specified the use of a Kennedy Cup, which is a spill-proof cup with a secure lid and J-shaped handle, to assist with drinking. Observations conducted over three consecutive lunch services revealed that the resident was instead drinking from a regular cup with a straw, contrary to the physician's order. Interviews with facility staff, including the unit manager RN, confirmed awareness that the resident was not using the Kennedy Cup as ordered. The Nursing Home Administrator and Director of Nursing were not aware of the resident's lack of access to the prescribed assistive device until the issue was presented to them. The resident's care plan indicated a need for assistance with meals due to intellectual disability and a stable weight, further supporting the necessity for the assistive device. The failure to provide the required Kennedy Cup constituted noncompliance with regulations regarding assistive devices for eating and drinking.
Plan Of Correction
The facility cannot retroactively correct this issue. Resident 7 was given a Kennedy cup for all meals. DON/Designee conducted a facility-wide audit of residents who have orders for adaptive equipment to ensure appropriate adaptive equipment was in place during meals. DON/Designee educated Nursing/Dietary staff on the importance of assuring that assistive devices ordered are in place during meals. DON/Designee will conduct meal observations weekly x 4 then monthly x 3 or until compliance is achieved to verify adaptive equipment ordered is present during meals. Results will be discussed at the monthly QAPI.
Failure to Provide Timely Pharmacy Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that pharmaceutical services were provided in a timely manner to meet the needs of two residents. For one resident admitted with multiple diagnoses including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, COPD, and post-surgical aftercare, physician admission orders were written for several medications to begin on a specified date. However, review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed that these medications were not administered as ordered, and staff notes indicated they were waiting for delivery from the pharmacy. Similarly, another resident admitted with hypopituitarism had physician orders for Desmopressin Acetate and Hydrocortisone to begin on a specified date. The MAR revealed these medications were also not administered as ordered, with staff documentation stating they were awaiting pharmacy delivery. The Director of Nursing confirmed that both residents did not receive their prescribed medications on time due to unavailability from the pharmacy.
Staffing Deficiencies in Nurse Aide Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to meet the required staffing levels for nurse aides (NAs) on multiple occasions between February 1, 2025, and February 21, 2025. Specifically, the facility did not provide the mandated one NA per 10 residents during the day shift on five days, one NA per 11 residents during the evening shift on two days, and one NA per 15 residents during the night shift on four days. These deficiencies were confirmed by a review of staffing documents and an email confirmation from the Director of Nursing (DON) on March 8, 2025.

Failure to Meet Minimum Nursing Care Hours
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to consistently meet the regulatory requirement of providing a minimum of 3.2 hours of direct nursing care per resident per day. A review of the facility's staffing levels revealed that on multiple dates in February 2025, the facility's nursing hours fell below the required minimum. Specifically, on February 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19, the direct care nursing hours per resident ranged from 2.80 to 3.19, all below the mandated 3.2 hours.

Improper Food Storage and Labeling in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policy on food labeling and storage, as observed during a tour of the main kitchen's dry storage area. Eight opened bags of uncooked pasta were found without labels indicating the food item name and use-by date, and they were not properly sealed. This was in violation of the facility's policy dated 2017, which mandates that all food should be dated upon receipt and properly labeled before storage. The Dietary Director confirmed that the pasta should have been labeled and sealed according to the policy.
Lack of Documented Catheter Care for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide documented evidence of consistent and adequate catheter care for a resident with a suprapubic catheter. The facility's policy, implemented on March 1, 2024, requires catheter care to be performed every shift and as needed, with documentation of the care provided and any concerns reported to the nurse on duty. However, a review of the clinical record for the resident revealed no documented evidence of catheter care being provided. This deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the lack of documentation for the resident's catheter care.
Delay in Reporting Lab Results to Physician
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report laboratory results to the ordering physician in a timely manner for one resident. Resident 22 had a physician order for a urine analysis and culture sensitivity (UA C+S) test on September 11, 2024, to determine if there was a urinary tract infection. The laboratory report was finalized and available on September 15, 2024. However, the results were not communicated to the physician until September 18, 2024, as noted in the resident's progress notes. This delay in reporting led to a delay in the physician ordering antibiotics to treat the urinary tract infection. The Director of Nursing confirmed the delay in reporting the results during an interview on October 9, 2024.
