Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Arthur B Hodges Center, The during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found bags of burgers and carrots left open in the kitchen freezer, exposing food to the elements. The Dietary Manager confirmed the finding. This failure to maintain sanitary food storage had the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents.
A resident receiving care for a pressure ulcer did not have their treatments accurately documented in the MDS assessment, as sections related to turning/repositioning, nutrition, and pressure ulcer care were left unmarked despite the treatments being provided. This was confirmed by the DON and NHA during staff interviews.
A resident's care plan was not updated to include newly diagnosed contractures in both lower legs, despite the diagnosis being present in the medical record. The care plan only referenced earlier knee stiffness, and both the DON and MDS Nurse confirmed the omission during interviews.
A resident with a physician order for sliding scale Novolog insulin did not receive the prescribed dose when their blood glucose reading indicated 1 unit should have been administered. The MAR showed zero units were given, and this was confirmed by the DON during interview.
A resident's electronic medical record lacked documentation of meal intake percentages for multiple meals over several months, despite the individual being reviewed for weight loss. The DON confirmed that these meal intake records were missing.
Unsanitary Food Storage in Kitchen Freezer
Penalty
Summary
During an initial kitchen tour, surveyors observed one bag of burgers and one bag of carrots left open in the freezer, exposing the food to the elements. This observation was confirmed by the Dietary Manager, who was present at the time. The facility failed to store, prepare, and serve food in a sanitary manner as required by professional standards. The deficiency had the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents, with a facility census of 17 at the time of the survey.
Inaccurate MDS Assessment for Pressure Ulcer Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for a resident with a pressure ulcer. Review of the resident's Significant Change MDS, with an Assessment Reference Date of 03/09/25, revealed that Sections C (turning and repositioning), D (nutrition), and E (pressure ulcer care) were not marked, despite the resident actively receiving these treatments. This omission was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA), who acknowledged that the MDS did not accurately reflect the treatments being provided to the resident at the time.
Failure to Update Care Plan for Contractures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to revise the care plan for Resident #8 to address newly diagnosed contractures in both lower legs. Record review showed that while the resident's care plan included a diagnosis of knee stiffness from January 2024, it did not reflect the contractures diagnosed in April 2025. Both the Director of Nursing and the MDS Nurse confirmed during interviews that the care plan did not mention the contractures, only the previously documented knee stiffness. This omission was identified during a review of nine care plans, with the facility census at 17 residents.
Failure to Administer Sliding Scale Insulin per Physician Order
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow physician orders regarding sliding scale insulin administration for one resident. Record review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed that the resident had a physician order for Novolog insulin to be administered subcutaneously three times daily, with specific dosing based on blood glucose readings. On the morning of 6/3/2025, the resident's blood sugar was recorded as 148, which, according to the sliding scale order, required administration of 1 unit of insulin. However, the MAR indicated that zero units of insulin were given at that time. This finding was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the insulin was not administered as ordered.
Failure to Document Meal Intake Percentages for Resident with Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately document the percentage of meal intake for one resident who was reviewed for weight loss. During a review of the resident's electronic medical record, it was found that the percentage of meals consumed was not documented for multiple meals across several months, including both breakfast and lunch on specific dates. This lack of documentation was confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the missing meal intake records.
