River Bend Nursing: Food Allergy Safety Gaps - IN
The inspection, completed November 25, 2025, found that the Treatment Administration Record showed weekly weights had been done from December 2024 through September 2025. The Weights and Vitals Summary told a different story. Across that same period, weights were missing on more than two dozen dates, including stretches in December, January, February, March, April, May, June, and July.
The resident, identified in the report as Resident B, had been flagged for nutritional risk. A nurse practitioner ordered weekly weights in November 2024 after a significant weight loss was reported. The care plan was updated. The order was in place. By March 2025, an interdisciplinary team noted the 10 percent loss and suggested the facility's scales had been down for several weeks as a possible explanation.
The Director of Nursing, interviewed on November 24, was direct about what the missing entries meant. If the weights were not recorded in the electronic medication record, she said, they were not done. Staff were probably checking off that they had completed the weights when they hadn't.
The facility's own policy, last revised in 2019, requires weights to be recorded in each resident's medical record. The policy existed. The order existed. The care plan existed. The weights did not.
For a resident already identified as nutritionally at risk, weeks of unrecorded weights meant no one could track whether the loss was accelerating, stabilizing, or responding to any intervention. The gap between what the records claimed and what the records contained left that question unanswered for months.
