Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Dove Healthcare - Bloomer during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with hemiplegia, CHF, CKD, atrial fibrillation, and impaired mobility developed shearing to the buttocks, but the facility did not complete weekly comprehensive wound assessments or evaluate the wound treatment plan for effectiveness. Record review showed repeated skin observations without full wound descriptions, drainage details, wound bed assessment, surrounding skin assessment, infection signs, pain assessment, or weekly measurements, even as the wound worsened and involved both buttocks. The DON acknowledged the wound assessments were not complete and that weekly full wound assessments were expected.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment, stroke-related weakness, and a history of falls was left unsupervised in a wheelchair in the room despite care plan directions not to leave the resident unattended unless in bed or a recliner and to use a fall mat when unattended. Another resident with hemiplegia sustained a skin tear during a Hoyer lift transfer when an arm was pinched in the sling, and the investigation found no resident-specific staff education or added interventions after the injury.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment, dependence on staff for transfers, and a history of osteoarthritis and fractures experienced an incident during a Hoyer lift transfer that resulted in leg pain and subsequent imaging confirming a tibial fracture and a possible femoral neck fracture. Despite having a policy requiring immediate reporting of alleged abuse or serious bodily injury and submission of investigative findings within five working days, facility leadership did not report the incident to the State Survey Agency, believing there was no immediate impact. The facility completed an internal investigation but failed to submit the required misconduct incident report within the mandated timeframe.
Surveyors found that dietary staff did not consistently use proper hair restraints while preparing food, with one staff member's moustache left uncovered and another with facial hair not wearing a beard cover. Both were actively involved in food preparation, contrary to facility policy requiring all exposed hair to be covered in the kitchen.
Surveyors identified ongoing discrepancies between posted daily nurse staffing information and actual staff schedules, with mismatches in the number and type of staff present on various shifts. The DON confirmed that posted data was generated from software, while actual schedules were based on timecard punches, resulting in inaccurate information being displayed for residents and their representatives.
Incomplete wound assessments and lack of wound effectiveness review
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure weekly comprehensive wound assessments were completed for a resident with a right inner buttock skin injury, and did not assess whether the wound treatment plan was effective. The resident had multiple diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, ataxia, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease stage 3A, pain in both hips, weakness, and a history of falling. The resident’s MDS admission assessment documented a BIMS score of 13/15, indicating intact cognition, and the resident required staff assistance with toileting hygiene, bathing, dressing, footwear, personal hygiene, bed mobility, and transfers. The resident was also identified as being at risk for pressure injury on repeated Braden scale assessments. The resident developed shearing to the right inner buttock, first documented as a new skin concern with a measurement of 5.0 cm x 1.0 cm x 0 cm and very thin tissue loss. The record showed ongoing skin observation entries on subsequent dates, but these entries did not include comprehensive wound assessments with full wound descriptions, drainage information, wound bed appearance, surrounding skin condition, signs of infection, or pain assessment. Measurements were not completed weekly, and the surveyor noted that the skin observation tool did not document whether the shearing was caused by pressure. The resident’s record also showed the wound condition changed over time, including documentation that the shearing remained, improved, then later involved coccyx shearing and a larger right buttock area with four linear open areas. A progress note stated the shearing was worsening, with multiple open sores to the right buttock, a circular sore to the left buttock, bright red buttock tissue, and resident discomfort. During interview, the DON stated the resident was not seen by the wound nurse and that the wound assessments were not complete, while also acknowledging that weekly full wound assessments were expected.
Failure to Provide Adequate Supervision and Safe Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure adequate supervision and assistance to prevent accidents for 2 residents reviewed for falls and injury prevention. One resident had severe cognitive impairment, a history of stroke with right-sided weakness, impulsive self-transfer behavior, and multiple prior falls. The resident’s care plan directed staff not to leave the resident unattended in the room unless in bed or a recliner, to use a fall mat when unattended, and to keep the wheelchair positioned with brakes locked when not in use. During observation, the resident was left in the room in a wheelchair without staff present and without a fall mat on the floor, despite being brought there for monitoring after stroke-like symptoms were noted during breakfast. Staff interviews showed the resident was left unsupervised based on a judgment call while the nurse contacted the provider. The RN stated the resident should not be unsupervised in the room in the wheelchair, and the DON acknowledged the resident had been left unsupervised while staff called the provider. The resident’s record also showed multiple prior falls and episodes of stroke-like symptoms, including hospitalizations and ongoing neurology follow-up. A second resident with left-sided paralysis after a stroke sustained a skin tear to the left lateral forearm during a Hoyer lift transfer when the arm was pinched in the sling. The resident reported the arm fell out of the sling and onto the lift bar during the transfer. The care plan identified the resident’s transfer status as Hoyer lift assist of two, but the investigation found no staff education specific to transferring this resident after the injury and no individual interventions added to the care plan to reduce the chance of another injury. The DON stated CNA education had been completed, but the surveyor found the training material did not document resident-specific transfer education.
Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse/Neglect Incident Involving Fractures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an alleged violation involving potential abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment was reported immediately to the State Survey Agency and that investigative findings were submitted within five working days, as required by facility policy and regulation. The facility’s policy, revised in October 2025, requires that allegations involving abuse or serious bodily injury be reported not later than two hours after the allegation is made, and that investigative findings be submitted to the Division of Quality Assurance, Office of Caregiver Quality, within five working days of the initial report and the date the entity knew or should have known about the misconduct. For one resident, the facility completed a thorough internal investigation of an incident but did not submit the required misconduct incident report to DQA within five business days of discovery. The resident involved had dementia with severe cognitive impairment (BIMS score 5/15), a history of falls, unilateral post-traumatic left hip osteoarthritis, anxiety, and documented pain related to osteoarthritis and multiple fractures. The resident was dependent on staff for transfers, toileting, and bed mobility, used a wheelchair, and required a mechanical lift for transfers. On 10/26/25, the resident experienced an incident during a Hoyer lift transfer when lifting their arms in the sling caused them to slide and be lowered to the floor; a cradle sling was later added as an intervention. Following the incident, the resident reported leg pain and was observed yelling out in pain, leading to a provider notification, portable x-ray, and subsequent identification of a tibial plateau fracture and possible femoral neck fracture. During a surveyor interview, the Nursing Home Administrator acknowledged that the incident had not been reported to DQA and stated it was not reported because they believed there was no immediate impact and that pain did not occur until hours later, despite recognizing that symptoms can develop later and that the presence of great bodily harm/fracture should have triggered reporting and submission of the final report within five business days.
Failure to Enforce Proper Hair Restraint Use in Food Preparation Areas
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility did not consistently enforce its policy requiring proper hair restraints for dietary staff in the kitchen. Specifically, one staff member was seen wearing a beard cover that did not fully cover their moustache while preparing apple crisp, and another staff member with facial hair was not wearing a beard cover at all while preparing side salads. Both staff members were working in food preparation areas at the time of the observations. The facility's policy states that all exposed hair, including facial hair, must be restrained or covered with a hair net or beard cover while in the kitchen. Interviews with the staff revealed a lack of understanding regarding the requirement to cover moustaches and the length of facial hair that necessitates a beard cover.
Inaccurate Daily Nurse Staffing Postings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that daily nurse staffing information posted was accurate, as required. Surveyors reviewed staffing schedules and the corresponding daily staff postings over a one-month period and found numerous discrepancies between the two sources. These discrepancies included mismatches in the number and type of staff (such as RNs, LPNs, Medication Technicians, and CNAs) listed on the posted information compared to the actual staff scheduled and present according to timecard punches. Specific examples included shifts where the staff posting indicated no Medication Technician present while the schedule showed one, or where the posting listed a Registered Nurse on duty but the schedule showed none. There were also instances where the number of CNAs posted did not match the number scheduled, and total hours worked as posted did not align with actual hours from the schedules. These inconsistencies were found across all shifts and on multiple days, affecting the accuracy of the information available to residents and their representatives. During an interview, the Director of Nursing acknowledged the discrepancies and confirmed that the posted staffing information was generated from a computer software program, while the actual schedules were based on timecard punches. The DON stated that the issue had been noticed months prior but was believed to have been corrected, indicating ongoing problems with the accuracy of posted staffing information.
