Waters of Scottsburg: Call System Failures in Bathrooms - IN
Waters of Scottsburg failed to maintain current medical records for Resident F, who suffers from acute and chronic respiratory failure and congestive heart failure. When inspectors reviewed the clinical record on January 28 at 3:20 p.m., they found the last documented physician visit was October 23, 2025.
The Director of Nursing told inspectors at 2:45 p.m. that both the physician and nurse practitioner had visited residents but couldn't explain why notes weren't in the record.
Licensed Practical Nurse 3 said she had spoken with the physician's nurse practitioner, who claimed notes had been uploaded to their system and needed to be retrieved by the facility.
The missing records materialized the next day. On January 29 at 1:36 p.m., the Director of Nursing provided copies of physician and nurse practitioner visits for the resident. Those records were electronically signed by the physician on January 28 at or after 3:42 p.m. — just 22 minutes after inspectors had finished reviewing the incomplete file.
Federal regulations require nursing homes to maintain current, complete medical records available at all times. Physicians must review each resident's total program of care during required visits and write, sign and date progress notes.
The facility's own policy manual states that each resident will have an active health record kept current, complete, legible and available at all times. A medication administration record must contain the date and time each medication is given and by whom.
The violation affected multiple residents and was linked to three separate complaint investigations at the facility.
