Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pine Valley Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a history of anxiety, depression, and behavioral symptoms made an allegation of sexual abuse that was reported by a family member. The DON and Administrator delayed reporting the allegation to the Department of Health, citing the allegation's vagueness and the resident's history, and instead conducted an internal investigation before reporting, resulting in a failure to meet the required two-hour reporting timeframe.
A resident with severe cognitive and physical impairments was subjected to abuse by staff members who used excessive force during care. Video footage revealed instances of rough handling, including forceful gown removal and physical smacking. The resident was identified as high-risk for abuse due to their vulnerabilities.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and physical disabilities was subjected to abuse by staff, as captured on video. Despite the evidence, the facility failed to report the incidents to local law enforcement, believing it was the family's responsibility. The facility only notified the Department of Health, neglecting their obligation under the Elder Justice Act.
The facility failed to conduct timely performance reviews and provide the required in-service education for two CNAs. One CNA had not been evaluated since 2021 and attended insufficient in-services, while the other had only one review since 2017 and attended only three in-services. Both CNAs had documented performance issues, yet the facility did not ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for evaluations and education.
The facility failed to adhere to infection control practices for two residents on enhanced precautions. Staff did not wear gowns during high-contact care activities, such as transferring and bathing, despite the presence of precaution signs and the residents having conditions like G-Tubes and Foley catheters. This was against the facility's infection prevention policy.
Failure to Timely Report Alleged Abuse to State Authorities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations of abuse were reported immediately, but not later than two hours, to the New York State Department of Health for one of three residents reviewed for abuse. On 9/23/2025 at approximately 2:00 PM, a family member reported that a resident alleged sexual abuse. However, the allegation was not reported to the Department of Health until 9/24/2025 at 11:18 AM, exceeding the required reporting timeframe outlined in the facility's Abuse Prevention Policy and Procedure. The policy mandates that all alleged violations involving abuse must be reported immediately, but no later than two hours after the allegation is made, if the events involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury. The resident involved had diagnoses including anxiety disorder, depression, and hypertension, and was documented as having intact cognition with behavioral symptoms that significantly intruded on others and put the resident at risk. During interviews, the DON and Administrator acknowledged awareness of the two-hour reporting requirement but stated that the allegation was not reported within the required timeframe because it was considered vague and confusing, and the resident had a history of accusations. The facility conducted an internal investigation within two hours and concluded that abuse did not occur, which contributed to the delay in reporting the allegation to the Department of Health.
Resident Abuse Due to Excessive Force by Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from abuse, as evidenced by video footage showing multiple staff members using excessive force while providing care. The resident, who was readmitted with diagnoses including cerebral vascular accident, hemiplegia, and impairments to both upper and lower extremities, was severely cognitively impaired and dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. The resident was identified as a high-risk victim of abuse due to their inability to communicate needs effectively and vulnerability from cognitive and physical disabilities. The abuse incidents were captured on video, showing staff members handling the resident roughly and using unnecessary force. Specific instances included a CNA forcefully removing the resident's gown and wiping their face roughly, another CNA attempting to reposition the resident in bed by pulling and tugging on their upper body and head, and a resident assistant physically smacking and flicking the resident. These actions were reported to the Director of Nursing, who, upon reviewing the footage, suspended and subsequently terminated the involved staff members.

Failure to Report Abuse to Law Enforcement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report incidents of staff-to-resident abuse to local law enforcement, as required by regulations. This deficiency was identified during a survey where it was found that multiple staff members, including Certified Nursing Assistants and Resident Assistants, used excessive force while providing care to a resident. The incidents were captured on video footage provided by the resident's family, which showed staff members handling the resident roughly and inappropriately. Despite the evidence of abuse, the facility did not report these incidents to local law enforcement, as they believed it was the family's responsibility to do so. The resident involved in the incidents had a history of severe cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living due to conditions such as a Cerebral Vascular Accident and Hemiplegia. The resident was assessed as a high-risk victim of abuse, with a care plan in place to protect them from such incidents. However, the care plan's goal of ensuring the resident's protection was not met, as evidenced by the abusive actions captured on video. Interviews with facility staff, including the Director of Nursing and the Administrator, revealed a misunderstanding of the facility's obligations under the Elder Justice Act. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the abuse after reviewing the video footage and suspended the involved staff members but did not contact law enforcement, leaving the decision to the family. The facility only reported the incident to the Department of Health, failing to fulfill the requirement to notify local law enforcement, which constitutes a deficiency in their abuse reporting protocol.
Plan Of Correction
Plan of Correction: Approved December 23, 2024 The facility policy for Abuse reviewed/revised date was added along with the facility official letterhead. The Administrator reported the abuse on Resident #1 to the local police on 11/26/24 during the abbreviated survey. The facility Director of Nursing and Administrator have been re-educated during the abbreviated survey as well as by Regional Administrator on reporting regulations of the Elder Justice Act that requires reports to be made to at least one local law enforcement agency of jurisdiction. The facility Administrator and Director of Nursing will be re-educated by the Regional Administrator on the reporting requirements quarterly. All facility staff will be educated on the Abuse Policy and Procedure by the Director of Nursing or Designee. The facility policy will change this education from upon hire and annually, to upon hire and quarterly going forward. The Administrator will report education compliance to QAPI for 6 months. The Director of Nursing or Designee will audit staff Abuse education, which includes reporting requirements, compliance weekly for 3 months then monthly thereafter. Any findings of noncompliance will be reported to QAPI quarterly. Responsibility: Director of Nursing, Administrator or Designee
Deficiency in CNA Performance Reviews and In-Service Education
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a performance review of every nurse aide was completed at least once every 12 months, and that each nurse aide received no less than twelve hours of in-service education per year based on the outcome of these reviews. This deficiency was identified during a survey, which included staff interviews and a review of facility documentation. Specifically, the facility did not conduct timely performance reviews for two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), nor did it provide the required in-service education hours. Certified Nursing Assistant #1 had not received a performance evaluation since May 4th, 2021, and had attended only nine in-services, which did not meet the required twelve hours of education. Additionally, Certified Nursing Assistant #4 had only one performance review on file dated July 6th, 2017, and had attended only three in-services since their hire date. The documentation revealed that Certified Nursing Assistant #1 had a history of verbal counseling in 2024 for issues such as failure to document and improper break time. Certified Nursing Assistant #4 had received warning notices for various infractions, including leaving a resident unattended in a bathroom. Despite these documented issues, the facility did not ensure that these CNAs received the necessary performance evaluations and in-service education to address and improve their job performance. This lack of compliance with regulatory requirements for performance reviews and education contributed to the identified deficiency.
Plan Of Correction
Plan of Correction: Approved December 23, 2024 The three staff members have been terminated based on the findings of the investigation. The facility will audit all current CNAs 12 hours of education and annual performance evaluations. Any CNAs not in compliance with the 12 hours of education or annual performance evaluation will be corrected. Education will be provided to the Director of Human Resources and all CNA staff that 12-hour education is required each year as well as annual performance evaluations. The facility will audit all CNAs 12 hours of education and annual performance evaluations weekly for 3 months, then monthly thereafter to ensure all 12 hours of education and annual performance reviews are in compliance. Any findings of noncompliance will be reported to QAPI. Responsibility: Director of Nursing and Director of Human Resources or Designee
Inadequate Infection Control Practices for Residents on Enhanced Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices for two residents on enhanced precautions. Resident #1, who had severe cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living, was observed being transferred by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) without wearing gowns, despite the resident having a G-Tube, Foley catheter, and a stage IV wound. Additionally, video reviews showed multiple instances where CNAs and Resident Assistants provided care to Resident #1, such as bed baths and catheter management, without wearing gowns, which was against the facility's infection prevention policy. Similarly, Resident #6, who was cognitively intact and had a urinary catheter, was also on enhanced barrier precautions. However, during a transfer from bed to chair, none of the staff members involved wore gowns, despite the presence of a precaution sign on the resident's door. These actions were in direct violation of the facility's infection control policy, which mandates the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities to prevent the transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms.
Plan Of Correction
Plan of Correction: Approved December 23, 2024 The three staff members have been terminated based on the findings of the investigation. Licensed Practical Nurse #9, Certified Nursing Assistant #6, #7, #8 and Resident Assistant #15 were re-educated on Enhanced Barrier Precautions PPE requirements. The DON or designee will audit all residents who are currently EBP to ensure staff are following policy and procedure. Education has been provided to all facility staff on enhanced barrier precautions. The facility policy will change this education from upon hire and annually, to upon hire and quarterly going forward. The Director of Nursing or Designee will audit all residents who are currently EBP to ensure staff are following policy and procedure weekly for 3 months. Any noncompliance will be immediately corrected and reported to QAPI. The Director of Nursing or designee will audit staff education to ensure compliance weekly for 3 months then monthly thereafter. Any findings will be reported to QAPI. Responsibility: Director of Nursing and Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) or Designee
