Avir at Belton: Care Planning Failures Found - TX
Federal inspectors cited the facility following a January 30 complaint inspection, finding that Avir at Belton failed to develop adequate, person-centered care plans for three residents identified as fall risks.
The resident who fell 45 times is a woman whose diagnoses include sepsis, repeated falls, obesity, and muscle weakness. Her cognition was moderately impaired, according to a cognitive assessment completed January 14 of this year. Her care plan, last revised January 6, noted she was at risk for falls due to unsteady gait, decreased balance, medications, and poor safety awareness. She used a mobility device and needed help with transfers. Inspectors found the plan offered nothing beyond that, no individualized approach, no measurable objectives, no specific interventions tied to her particular history of falling.
Forty-five falls in twelve months.
The second resident, a woman with Alzheimer's disease, cellulitis of the abdominal wall, and reduced mobility, had 17 falls between August 13 and December 27, 2025. Her cognitive assessment from October showed she was considered cognitively intact, a BIMS score of 13. She understood her situation. Her care plan, also revised January 6, carried the same boilerplate language about unsteady gait and decreased balance that appeared in the other two residents' plans. Inspectors found it did not include a person-centered plan to address her falls.
Seventeen falls in four and a half months, and the plan read the same as everyone else's.
The third resident is a man with Alzheimer's disease, late onset, along with muscle weakness and unsteadiness on his feet. His cognitive assessment from November 2025 gave him a BIMS score of 6, indicating severely impaired cognition. He cannot reliably understand or respond to his own care. He fell on March 23, 2024, again on July 28, 2024, and again on January 13 of this year. His care plan listed the same risk factors. Inspectors found he was lacking person-centered care for the falls he was having.
What all three care plans shared was a list of risk factors that could have applied to almost any resident in the building. Unsteady gait. Decreased balance. Medications. Poor safety awareness. Mobility device. Assistance with transfers. The language was interchangeable. None of it reflected the specific pattern of falls each person had experienced, the circumstances, the times, the locations, or what had or hadn't worked before.
A care plan written the same way for a resident who has fallen three times and a resident who has fallen 45 times is not, in any meaningful sense, a plan.
The inspection covered three residents and found the same failure in all three. Inspectors noted the deficiency placed residents at risk of not receiving necessary care or proper treatment for falls.
The facility's own records documented the falls. The frequency was not hidden. Seventeen falls logged between August and December. Forty-five over the prior year. A care plan revised as recently as January 6, weeks before inspectors arrived, that still did not address what was happening to the woman who had already fallen dozens of times.
She was still falling. The plan still said the same things it had always said.
