The Orchards at Three Rivers: 9 Deficiencies Found - MI
DON B told inspectors she had been notified of the situation that same day, the day inspectors arrived.
The River Unit houses residents with greater care needs than the rest of the facility. DON B said a staffing and acuity review had determined that unit specifically required three CNAs on day shift. The administrator, identified in the report as Administrator A, said the lowest staffing level he would consider acceptable anywhere in the building was two CNAs per unit. On December 22, the River Unit had one.
The understaffing finding was one of three concerns inspectors documented during the December 23 complaint inspection. Administrator A acknowledged residents had also raised concerns about missed showers. He said the facility was in the process of addressing it. He and DON B said the same about staffing: they were aware, they were monitoring, they were working on it.
Food complaints had reached Administrator A as well. He told inspectors he fills out concern forms and brings them personally to the dietary manager and her supervisor. The kitchen had been outsourced to a contracted company on November 1, less than two months before inspectors walked in.
The facility received a deficiency at the F0835 level, cited as posing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting many residents.
Administrator A and DON B were aware of all three problems before inspectors arrived. The River Unit still ran a day shift with one CNA.
