Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Park Rest Hardin County Health Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not provide RN coverage for at least 8 consecutive hours each day as required, with no RN present on 37 days over several months. Both the DON and an RN were absent on these days, and staff relied on off-site support or emergency coverage from a sister facility.
Staff failed to promptly report and investigate multiple allegations of abuse involving several cognitively and physically impaired residents. Despite witnessing rough handling and verbal mistreatment by a CNA, staff delayed reporting the incidents, and facility leadership did not notify law enforcement, APS, or the Ombudsman as required by policy. The affected residents were dependent on staff for care due to conditions such as dementia and incontinence.
A resident with a history of Alzheimer’s, cerebrovascular disease, hemiplegia, and polyneuropathy was admitted with a UTI caused by ESBL bacteria. Despite a physician’s order for contact isolation, observations showed the room was marked for enhanced barrier precautions instead. Nursing leadership confirmed the signage did not match the required contact isolation precautions, resulting in a failure to follow infection control orders.
Failure to Provide Required RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for at least 8 consecutive hours each day, 7 days a week, as required. Policy review indicated the facility was to provide sufficient qualified nursing staff at all times, including a minimum of .55 hours of licensed nursing staff per resident day. However, review of working schedules, calculated time reports, and employee timesheets revealed that there was no RN coverage on 37 specific days between January and June 2025. These absences were confirmed for multiple weekends, with both the RN and the Director of Nursing (DON) not present or working on those days. Interviews with the DON and the Administrator confirmed the lack of RN coverage on weekends, and it was stated that in the absence of an RN, the charge nurse would contact the DON or another RN, or rely on an RN from a sister facility in emergencies. The facility had applied for a waiver for this requirement, but it had not been granted at the time of the survey. The census during this period was 35 residents.
Failure to Timely Report and Investigate Alleged Resident Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report allegations of abuse involving five residents within the required 24-hour timeframe to local law enforcement, Adult Protective Services (APS), and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The facility's own policies require immediate reporting and investigation of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation, but these procedures were not followed. The initial incident occurred when a CNA was observed by another CNA to handle residents roughly and speak to them in a harsh tone. The witnessing CNA did not report the incidents until two days later, delaying the initiation of an investigation and the required notifications to authorities. Multiple staff interviews confirmed that abusive behavior by the CNA had been witnessed on several occasions, including physical roughness, belittling, and slapping a resident. Some staff admitted to witnessing or being aware of the CNA's behavior but failed to report it to the DON, ADON, or Administrator as required. The DON, ADON, and Administrator all acknowledged that the incidents should have been reported immediately and that the delay in reporting and investigation was not in accordance with facility policy or regulatory requirements. The residents involved had significant cognitive and physical impairments, including dementia, Alzheimer's disease, muscle weakness, and incontinence, making them dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. The failure to promptly report and investigate the allegations of abuse left these vulnerable residents without timely protection or intervention. The facility did not notify the appropriate external agencies as required, and the deficiency was confirmed through policy review, medical record review, and staff interviews.
Failure to Implement Physician-Ordered Contact Isolation Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow a physician's order for contact isolation precautions for a resident diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL), a bacteria resistant to many antibiotics. According to the facility's infection control policy, residents with infections are to be placed under appropriate isolation precautions. The resident in question had a physician's order specifically for contact isolation due to the ESBL UTI. Despite this order, observations on multiple occasions revealed that the signage on the resident's door indicated enhanced barrier precautions rather than contact isolation. Interviews with the Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON) and the Director of Nurses confirmed that the resident was supposed to be in contact isolation, and both acknowledged that the room signage was incorrect at the time of the observations. The discrepancy between the physician's order and the implemented precautions constituted a failure to follow prescribed infection control measures.
