Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at United Transitional Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Residents were not given an upfront choice to eat meals in a communal dining area and instead were eating in their rooms. Although the unit had a room identified on the blueprint as dining/activities, residents said they were never told about a dining option, and staff confirmed the option was only provided if a resident or family member asked.
Lack of Resident-Centered Group Activity Programming: Residents indicated that doing things with groups of people was very important to them, but the activity calendar showed only one weekly group activity in the dayroom and no weekend group activities. A resident said she mostly received puzzles and TV, several residents said the dayroom was not used for group activities, and the AD confirmed she was the only activity staff member and there was no weekend coverage.
Expired biscuits were observed on a kitchen rack with a discard date that had already passed. The facility’s food dating policy stated items should be disposed of that night after dinner or early the next morning before breakfast, and the DM acknowledged the biscuits should have been thrown out the prior night or that morning.
A facility failed to manage a resident's pain according to professional standards. Oxycodone was administered on multiple occasions without premedication pain assessments, and the effectiveness of the medication was not consistently evaluated. The DON confirmed these lapses during the survey.
The facility failed to provide the required beneficiary notification for a resident during a survey. The Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage was requested as the resident's Medicare stay was ending, but the Administrator could not locate the notification.
Residents Not Offered Choice to Eat in Dining Area
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure residents were given the choice to eat meals in a communal setting rather than in their rooms all the time. During lunch observations, residents were seen eating their meals in their rooms, while an area on the unit was identified as an activity room and was marked on the facility blueprint as dining/activities. The sign outside the room, however, identified it only as Activities. The facility policy titled Meal Passage and Nutritional Intake stated that residents would be offered assistance to the day room for meals if desired in order to encourage a homelike atmosphere and social interaction. Interviews showed that residents were not aware they had a dining option. Resident #25 said they did not know they had a dining area, Resident #75 said no dining options had been explained except eating in their room, Resident #76 said they had no idea there was an option to eat in a dining room, Resident #72 said they had no idea there was anywhere to eat except in their room, Resident #24 said they had never been given the option to eat anywhere except in their room, and Resident #86 did not know there was a dining or activity room on the unit. Staff interviews confirmed the practice, with an LPN stating staff did not offer the dining room option unless a resident asked, another LPN stating they did not offer it as an option but would accommodate requests, and a CS stating residents were given the option only if they or their family asked, not upfront.
Lack of Resident-Centered Group Activity Programming
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide ongoing resident-centered group activity programming that matched residents’ expressed interest in doing things with groups of people. Review of the admission MDS for Residents #84, #24, #76, #25, #83, #82, #86, #85, #78, #75, #74, #4, and #72 showed each marked that it was very important to do things with groups of people. However, review of the posted activity calendars for April through August 2025 showed the only scheduled group activity was Activities in the Dayroom on Thursdays at 2:00 PM, and no weekend group activities were scheduled during that period. Resident #84 stated the facility handed out puzzles and she watched TV, but she did not think group activities were offered, while several other residents stated they did not think the activity room/dayroom was used for group activities and that most activities occurred in their rooms, such as crosswords, puzzles, and church on TV. The Activity Director stated she provided activities of residents’ choice in the dayroom on Thursdays and went room-to-room during the week offering snacks and word search puzzles, and confirmed there was no activity staff coverage on weekends and that she was the only activity staff member employed.
Expired Food Item Left in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
Food items were not stored and discarded in accordance with facility policy. During an initial kitchen tour, a tray of biscuits was observed on a rack with a discard date of 08/03/2025. The facility policy titled Food Dating stated that items should be dated for the last day to be used and disposed of that night after dinner or early the next morning before breakfast. During interview, the Dietary Manager stated that the biscuits should have been thrown out the prior night or that morning.
Inadequate Pain Management Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to manage pain in accordance with current professional standards of practice for a resident. The medical records of a resident showed a physician's order for oxycodone to be administered every six hours as needed for pain. However, on three occasions, the medication was given without performing a premedication pain assessment, and the effectiveness of the pain medication was not assessed afterward. These instances occurred on specific dates and times, indicating a lack of consistent pain management practices. Additionally, on another occasion, the effectiveness of the pain medication was assessed, but a premedication pain assessment was not performed. The Director of Nursing confirmed these lapses in pain assessment during the survey process.
Failure to Provide Beneficiary Notification
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required beneficiary notification for a resident, identified as Resident #189, during a long-term care survey. This deficiency was identified through staff interviews and record reviews. On July 2, 2024, the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage was requested from the facility for Resident #189 as her most recent Medicare stay was ending. However, during an interview conducted on the same day at 1:30 PM, the Administrator acknowledged that he could not locate a copy of the Beneficiary Notification for the resident.
