Skyview Care Bridgeport: Diabetic Resident Missed Insulin - NE
That's what the director of nursing at Skyview Care and Rehab at Bridgeport confirmed to inspectors during a November 13 interview. The order for new strips hadn't arrived as expected. The pharmacy didn't have any available. And the facility, which had no backup supply on hand, made no attempt to obtain strips through any other means.
The result: a resident inspectors identified as Resident 14, described by the facility's own nurse practitioner as a "very fragile diabetic," went without a blood glucose check for four consecutive scheduled monitoring times. During that same stretch, Resident 14 received none of their scheduled insulin doses.
The inspectors rated the violation as causing actual harm.
By the time the gap in care was discovered, Resident 14's blood glucose had climbed to 528. A normal fasting blood glucose level is under 100. A reading above 300 is considered dangerously high. At 528, the nurse practitioner had to order an extra dose of insulin just to begin bringing the level down.
The nurse practitioner told inspectors directly that missing blood glucose checks and insulin doses for a patient like Resident 14 "could have easily caused significant harm." That assessment came from the clinician who knew this resident's history.
The director of nursing confirmed to inspectors that the medication administration record showed the code "NA" — not applicable — entered for Resident 14's blood glucose checks during that period. That notation, under normal circumstances, would indicate a test wasn't needed. Here, it marked the hours when a fragile diabetic sat unmonitored because the facility had nothing to test with and hadn't tried to fix that.
There is no indication in the inspection record that anyone at the facility contacted a nearby pharmacy, a hospital, a neighboring facility, or a retail store. The director of nursing confirmed the facility made no attempt through any other method to obtain strips that day.
Uncontrolled blood glucose at the levels Resident 14 reached carries serious consequences. Sustained hyperglycemia can cause dehydration, confusion, and in severe cases, diabetic ketoacidosis, a condition that can become life-threatening without treatment. The nurse practitioner's word — "fragile" — signals that Resident 14 had little margin for exactly this kind of disruption.
The inspection, conducted November 17, 2025, was a complaint survey. The deficiency was cited under F0600, which covers abuse, neglect, and exploitation. CMS rated the level of harm as actual harm, affecting a small number of residents.
Skyview Care and Rehab at Bridgeport operates at 505 O Street in Bridgeport, Nebraska. Its CMS provider identification number is 285224.
What the record doesn't show is whether anyone checked on Resident 14 during those hours and recognized what the missing entries on the medication record meant. What it does show is that when the strips ran out, the monitoring stopped, the insulin stopped, and the glucose climbed to more than five times what it should have been — while the facility waited for a delivery that never came.
