St. Joseph Rehab: Care Plan Failures - NV

Healthcare Facility
Saint Joseph Transitional Rehabilitation Center
Las Vegas, NV  ·  4/5 stars

Federal inspectors visited the facility on September 12, 2025, following a complaint. What they found in the electronic charting system was a pattern of blank fields — dates where staff had never documented what level of meal assistance Resident 111 received, or what percentage of each meal the resident consumed.

The facility's own system was designed to prevent exactly this. Nursing assistants were supposed to check point-of-care kiosks at the start of each shift to learn what each resident needed at mealtimes: supervision only, help with setup, moderate assistance, or full one-on-one feeding support. Then, after every meal, they were supposed to document what they provided. A CNA interviewed by inspectors confirmed the process and confirmed it hadn't been followed. Some dates were blank. There was no record.

The Director of Nursing confirmed the same thing that afternoon. The ADL documentation for Resident 111, including meal percentage eaten, was incomplete.

Inspectors cited the deficiency at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, meaning they couldn't rule out that the gap in records reflected a gap in care. When a resident's eating assistance goes undocumented across multiple meals, there is no way to know whether that resident was adequately supported at the table, or left to manage alone.

The facility's own policy, last revised in March 2018, stated that residents who could not carry out daily activities independently would receive the services necessary to maintain good nutrition. Documentation was how the facility was supposed to prove that promise was kept.

For Resident 111, the proof wasn't there.
