Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Thibodaux Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to maintain medications in their original labeled containers, as observed with a medication cart. An LPN pre-prepared medications for several residents, labeling cups only with residents' names and, in some cases, administration times, but not with medication names or doses. This was against the facility's policy, as confirmed by the DON.
The facility failed to provide the required 2.35 hours of direct nursing care per resident on several weekend days, resulting in a shortfall of staffing hours. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, revealing that the facility did not meet the mandated care hours on four specific dates. The administrator acknowledged the failure to comply with the required staffing levels.
A facility failed to maintain Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) when a CNA did not wear a gown while emptying a urinary catheter bag for a resident with an indwelling catheter. The resident had multiple diagnoses, including diabetes and urinary retention, and was under EBP to prevent the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms. Despite a posted EBP sign, the CNA entered the room without a gown, as confirmed by the CNA and the Assistant Director of Nursing.
A resident with dysphagia had a PEG tube feeding administered while their bed was in a flat position, contrary to physician orders and care plan instructions. A CNA repositioned the bed without pausing the feeding, unaware of the requirement. Interviews with an LPN and the DON confirmed the feeding should have been paused.
A resident with acute and chronic respiratory failure had their CPAP and nebulizer masks improperly stored on a bedside table without being contained in a bag, as observed multiple times. Interviews with an LPN and the DON confirmed that the facility's protocol for storing respiratory equipment was not followed.
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in food storage and kitchen areas. Observations revealed undated and improperly stored food items in refrigerators and freezers, and kitchen equipment with dust and debris. The S3Dietary Manager confirmed these items should have been properly labeled and stored, and the kitchen should have been clean.
The facility failed to implement physician-ordered fall prevention interventions for two residents at high risk for falls. One resident did not have a pommel cushion in their wheelchair as ordered, and another resident's recliner lacked a required landing pad. Staff interviews confirmed the absence of these safety measures despite existing orders.
A facility failed to maintain fluids within reach for a resident at risk for dehydration. The resident, with severe cognitive impairment and malnutrition, had a care plan requiring water at her bedside. Observations showed her water pitcher was out of reach, and no fluids were available at her bedside. Interviews confirmed CNAs were responsible for passing water and ice, but there was no evidence of this being done during a specific shift, contributing to the deficiency.
Medication Labeling Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medications were maintained in their original manufacturer's or pharmacy's label, as observed with Medication Cart e. During an observation, it was noted that medication cups for several residents were only labeled with the residents' names and, in some cases, the time of administration, but not with the names or doses of the medications they contained. This practice was contrary to the facility's Medication Administration policy, which requires verification of the right resident, medication, dosage, time, and method before administration. An interview with an LPN revealed that she had pre-prepared the medications for later administration, which she acknowledged was against the facility's policy. The Director of Nursing confirmed that medications should not be prepared and placed in medication cups until they are ready to be administered. This deficiency was identified through observations, interviews, and record reviews, indicating a lapse in adherence to medication labeling and administration protocols.
Failure to Meet Required Nursing Care Hours
Penalty
Summary
The facility's administration failed to ensure compliance with the required 2.35 hours of direct nursing care per resident on specific weekend days. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, which revealed that on four occasions, the facility did not meet the mandated staffing hours. The Louisiana Administrative Code mandates that nursing facilities provide 2.35 hours of care per resident per day, a requirement that was not met on 09/15/2024, 10/27/2024, 11/10/2024, and 12/08/2024. On 09/15/2024, the facility's census was 72 residents, requiring 169.2 hours of care, but only 150.18 hours were provided, resulting in a shortfall of 19.02 hours. Similarly, on 10/27/2024, with a census of 73 residents, the facility provided 167.73 hours instead of the required 171.55 hours, a deficit of 3.82 hours. On 11/10/2024, the facility was short by 0.97 hours, and on 12/08/2024, it was short by 3.69 hours. The facility's administrator acknowledged these deficiencies during an interview, confirming the failure to meet the required care hours on the specified dates.
Failure to Maintain Enhanced Barrier Precautions During Urinary Catheter Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) were maintained during the care of a resident with an indwelling urinary catheter. Specifically, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) did not don a gown while emptying the urinary catheter bag of Resident #54, who was under EBP due to having an indwelling medical device. The facility's policy required the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities to prevent the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms. Resident #54 was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, gout, acute cystitis without hematuria, obstructive and reflux uropathy, and urinary retention. The resident's medical record indicated the presence of an indwelling catheter, and a sign for EBP was posted on the resident's bedroom door. Despite this, the CNA entered the room and performed the task without wearing a gown, which was confirmed by both the CNA and the Assistant Director of Nursing during interviews.
Improper Administration of PEG Tube Feeding
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper administration of a Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube feeding for a resident diagnosed with dysphagia. The resident was admitted with a diagnosis of difficulty swallowing and had physician orders to receive Glucerna 1.2 at 70 milliliters per hour through the PEG tube. The orders and care plan specified that the head of the resident's bed should remain elevated during feedings to prevent complications. On the day of the observation, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) repositioned the resident's bed to a flat position to provide incontinence care while the PEG tube feeding was still being administered. The CNA was unaware that the feeding should have been paused before lowering the bed. Interviews with the Licensed Practical Nurse and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the feeding should have been paused prior to repositioning the resident's bed.
Improper Storage of Respiratory Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store a resident's respiratory equipment in a sanitary manner, specifically for a resident with acute and chronic respiratory failure. The resident was admitted with physician's orders for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with oxygen, ipratropium-albuterol solution via nebulizer, and continuous oxygen via nasal cannula. Observations on multiple occasions throughout the day revealed that the resident's CPAP mask and nebulizer/breathing treatment mask were left on the bedside table and not contained in a bag, as required. Interviews with facility staff confirmed the deficiency. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) acknowledged that the CPAP and nebulizer masks were not stored in bags when not in use, which was against the facility's protocol. The Director of Nursing (DON) also confirmed that these masks should be contained when not in use, indicating a lapse in following proper sanitary procedures for respiratory equipment storage.
Sanitation Deficiencies in Food Storage and Kitchen Maintenance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in its food storage and kitchen areas, as observed during a survey. In Refrigerator a, there was an opened and undated bag of browned lettuce, an opened and undated container of parmesan cheese, and an onion with a significant black spot stored with other onions. Freezer d contained a bag of white beans that was unlabeled. Additionally, Refrigerator c had shredded cheese scattered across its bottom. These observations were confirmed by the S3Dietary Manager, who acknowledged that the items should have been properly labeled and stored, and the spoiled onion should not have been available for consumption. The kitchen's cleanliness was also compromised, as evidenced by a rack of clean dishes containing blue bowls, dome covers, and pellets that had dust, debris, and a greasy film on them. A dried brown substance was found in a splash pattern on the wall behind the steam table. The S3Dietary Manager confirmed that these items should not have had dust or debris, and the wall should have been clean. These deficiencies indicate a failure to adhere to professional standards for food storage and kitchen sanitation.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Interventions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement physician-ordered interventions to prevent future falls for two residents. Resident #2, who was at high risk for falls due to a right leg prosthesis, muscle weakness, lack of coordination, and impulsiveness following a stroke, had a physician's order for a pommel cushion to be placed in their wheelchair. This intervention was intended to prevent thrusting, improve posture, and promote safety. However, multiple observations on January 14, 2025, revealed that Resident #2's wheelchair did not have the pommel cushion as ordered. Interviews with facility staff, including a CNA, an LPN, and the DON, confirmed the absence of the pommel cushion despite the existing order. Similarly, Resident #3, also at high risk for falls due to muscle weakness and lack of coordination, had a physician's order for a landing pad to be placed on the right side of their recliner for safety. Observations on January 14 and 15, 2025, showed that the landing pad was not present as required. Interviews with a CNA, an LPN, and the DON confirmed the absence of the landing pad, which was ordered as an intervention following a fall. The nursing staff was responsible for ensuring the presence of the landing pad, but it was not in place as ordered.
Failure to Maintain Hydration for At-Risk Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that staff maintained fluids within reach for a resident identified as being at risk for dehydration. This deficiency was observed in the case of Resident #2, who had severe cognitive impairment, dementia, and malnutrition, and was dependent on staff for transfers and mobility. The resident's care plan, revised in June 2024, identified her as being at risk for dehydration due to diarrhea and included interventions such as keeping water at her bedside and encouraging fluid intake. However, observations on September 8, 2024, revealed that Resident #2's water pitcher was consistently out of reach, placed across the room on a large dresser, and no fluids were available at her bedside. Interviews and further observations confirmed that the CNAs were responsible for passing water and ice at least once per shift, but there was no evidence of this being done on the 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. shift on September 8, 2024, in Hall D where Resident #2 resided. The Director of Nursing confirmed the lack of evidence for water or ice being passed during this shift, despite the care plan's directive to keep water at the resident's bedside. This oversight contributed to the failure in maintaining adequate hydration for Resident #2.
