Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ahava Healthcare Of Clarksville during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to notify residents or their representatives about excessive resident trust account balances for 7 sampled residents whose funds exceeded the $2,000 Medicaid asset limit. Records showed balances ranging from $2,547.70 to $18,955.25 for residents with diagnoses including DM, COPD, dementia, CVA, depression, anxiety, respiratory failure, and HTN. The BOM and Administrator both acknowledged the $2,000 limit and confirmed that notification had not been provided.
Failure to Report Suspected Misappropriation: A cognitively intact resident reported that an unknown person opened accounts in her name without permission. The Administrator learned of the concern when police came to speak with the resident but did not report the suspected misappropriation to the state agency, stating the facility did not think the resident had anything to lose. The DON stated that suspected abuse, including misappropriation, would be expected to be reported in a timely manner, and the facility could not provide documentation that the allegation was reported to all required agencies.
A facility failed to investigate suspected misappropriation of a resident’s property after concerns arose that someone used the resident’s information to open accounts. The resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 and stated she did not know who may have done it. The Administrator knew APS and police were involved but did not complete an investigation, saying she believed it was identity theft rather than misappropriation; the DON stated any suspicion of abuse or misappropriation should be investigated.
Staff failed to follow infection control procedures during medication administration for two residents on EBP. An LPN gave PEG medications to a resident with a gastrostomy without wearing a gown, and an RN administering glaucoma eye drops to a resident with severe cognitive impairment touched the bottle tip to the eyelid and returned the contaminated bottle to the med cart without cleaning it. The DON confirmed the gown and eye-drop practices were incorrect.

Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify residents or their representatives of excessive resident trust account balances for 7 of 58 sampled residents, despite the Tennessee Medicaid asset limit for a single nursing home applicant being $2,000.00. Review of the Resident Statement Landscape dated 4/29/2026 showed Resident #3 had a balance of $18,955.25, Resident #6 had $4,799.11, Resident #19 had $2,547.70, Resident #38 had $8,119.00, Resident #67 had $12,755.29, Resident #81 had $4,810.16, and Resident #93 had $10,121.71, all above the limit. The report states these balances were over the allowable amount by amounts ranging from $547.70 to $16,955.25. The medical record review identified each resident’s admission and diagnoses, including diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, hypotension, cerebral infarction, anxiety, hemiplegia, depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia, respiratory failure, and hypertension. During interview, the BOM stated the trust account limit was $2,000.00 and acknowledged that residents or representatives had not been notified regarding the excessive balances or the risk of losing Medicaid benefits. The Administrator also stated the trust account limit was $2,000.00 and that the resident or representative should have been informed of the risk of losing Medicaid benefits.
Failure to Report Suspected Misappropriation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all allegations of abuse or misappropriation of property were reported to all appropriate agencies for one sampled resident. The facility policy stated that all alleged violations must be reported to the state agency and other required agencies, with reporting not later than 24 hours when the event does not involve abuse and does not result in serious bodily injury, and that the Administrator would follow up with government agencies and report investigation results within 5 working days or as required by state agencies. Resident #20 was admitted with diagnoses including COPD, heart failure, anxiety, depression, and atrial fibrillation. The annual MDS showed a BIMS score of 15, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. During interview, the resident stated that an unknown person had opened accounts in her name without permission and said she did not know who did it, possibly family, and did not think it was staff. The Administrator stated awareness of the concern when police came to speak with the resident, but said the matter was not reported to the state agency because the facility believed its bank accounts get hacked all the time and that the resident had nothing to lose. The DON stated that suspicion of abuse, including misappropriation, would be expected to be reported to the state in a timely manner. The facility was unable to provide documentation that the suspected abuse was reported to all regulatory and required agencies.
Failure to Investigate Suspected Misappropriation of Resident Property
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to perform an investigation for suspected misappropriation of resident property for one resident. The facility policy stated that an immediate investigation is warranted when there is suspicion of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, including identifying and interviewing involved persons and providing complete documentation of the investigation. However, the facility did not provide documentation showing that an investigation was completed after concerns arose that someone had used the resident’s information to open accounts. The resident involved was admitted with diagnoses including COPD, heart failure, and cardiomyopathy, and her annual MDS assessment showed a BIMS score of 15, indicating she was cognitively intact. During interview, the resident stated that someone opened two accounts using her old phone number and old address, and she did not know who may have done it. The Administrator acknowledged awareness of the concern, stating that APS had made a referral and police came to the facility to interview the resident, but she did not complete an investigation because she believed it was identity theft rather than misappropriation. The DON stated that any suspicion of abuse or misappropriation would be expected to be investigated.
Infection Control Failures During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide and implement an infection prevention and control program when staff did not follow required PPE and infection control procedures during medication administration for residents on Enhanced Barrier Precautions. Facility policy stated that EBP requires targeted gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities, and the medication administration policy required medications to be given in a manner that prevents contamination or infection. Resident #15 had cerebral palsy, gastroparesis, a gastrostomy, severe intellectual disabilities, and a physician order for nothing by mouth. The resident’s MAR indicated EBP due to an indwelling medical device. During observation, an LPN donned gloves and prepared PEG medications, entered the room, placed the pump on hold, checked residual, and administered the medications by gravity, but did not wear a gown while giving the PEG medications. When asked, the LPN stated that a gown should have been worn, and the DON also stated that a nurse should wear a gown to administer medications by PEG tube in an EBP room. Resident #93 had sleep apnea, diabetes mellitus, dementia, and glaucoma, with severe cognitive impairment and EBP in place due to an indwelling urinary catheter. During observation, an RN administered oral medications and then eye drops. The RN touched the tip of the brimonidine bottle to the resident’s lower eyelid when giving the first drop, then administered the second drop without cleaning the bottle tip. The RN later acknowledged that the bottle tip should not touch the eyelid and that the eye medication bottle should have been cleaned before being returned to the medication cart. The DON stated that the tip of the bottle should not touch the resident’s eyelid.
