Health deficiencies cited at Palm Garden Of Largo during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that staff failed to provide timely toileting assistance to a resident with significant care needs, resulting in a wait of over 1.5 hours and emotional distress.

Staff interviews revealed inconsistent grievance investigations and a lack of customer service training, despite facility policies requiring prompt action and reporting.
The facility failed to follow comprehensive care plans for three residents, leading to deficiencies in bed mobility and transfer assistance. Despite care plans requiring two-person assistance, documentation showed frequent one-person assistance. Incidents included a resident rolling off a mattress due to inadequate assistance.

Failure to Protect Residents from Neglect and Unsympathetic Staff Attitudes
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified multiple failures by facility staff to protect residents from neglect and unsympathetic or negative staff attitudes, resulting in emotional and psychological distress. One resident, with moderate cognitive impairment and significant physical care needs, was observed waiting over 1.5 hours for toileting assistance despite repeated requests for help. The resident expressed fear of staff retaliation if her needs were reported, and staff members failed to respond to her call light in a timely manner, even after being made aware of her request. Documentation confirmed the resident required total assistance for toileting, and staff interviews acknowledged that the wait time was excessive and unacceptable. Additional residents reported negative interactions with staff, including a CNA who was described as rude, rushed, and rough during care. One resident recounted an incident where a CNA was on the phone during care and became snappy when questioned, leading the resident to feel uncomfortable and fearful of future interactions. Another resident described being handled roughly by the same CNA, resulting in visible bruising, and expressed fear of retaliation if she reported the behavior. These residents had not filed formal grievances, often citing fear of staff reprisal. Interviews with staff and facility leadership revealed gaps in the investigation and resolution of grievances. The Risk Manager stated that grievances were not pursued if residents denied explicit abuse, without considering fear of retaliation or psychological impact. The Staff Development Coordinator acknowledged ongoing issues with staff attitudes and bedside manner, and some CNAs reported not receiving customer service training. Facility policies required prompt investigation and resolution of grievances and mandated reporting of suspected abuse or neglect, but these procedures were not consistently followed, contributing to the ongoing deficiencies.
Inconsistent Adherence to Care Plans for Resident Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to the comprehensive person-centered care plans for three residents, leading to deficiencies in bed mobility and transfer assistance. Resident #2, who had a complex medical history including traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, dementia, and chronic kidney disease, was care planned to require total assistance of two persons for bed mobility and transfers. However, documentation revealed inconsistencies in the level of assistance provided, with instances of only one-person assistance being recorded. An incident occurred where a CNA attempted to turn the resident alone, resulting in the resident rolling off the mattress. Resident #4, diagnosed with conditions such as spinal stenosis and a history of traumatic brain injury, was also care planned for total assistance of two persons for bed mobility and transfers. Despite this, the documentation showed that the staff frequently provided only one-person assistance. The Director of Nursing confirmed these discrepancies, acknowledging that the care plan was not being followed as expected. Similarly, Resident #5, with a history of a displaced intertrochanteric fracture and dementia, was care planned for limited assistance of two persons for bed mobility and transfers. The records indicated that the resident often received only one-person assistance, contrary to the care plan. The DON verified these findings and noted the need for a re-evaluation of the resident's transfer status. The facility's policy emphasized the importance of developing and implementing a person-centered comprehensive care plan, yet the execution of these plans was inconsistent, leading to the identified deficiencies.
