River Bend Nursing: Infection Control Failures - IN

Healthcare Facility
River Bend Nursing And Rehabilitation
Evansville, IN  ·  1/5 stars

The Director of Nursing at River Bend Nursing and Rehabilitation acknowledged the documentation gaps during a January 29 interview with state inspectors. The admission came after inspectors documented 12 separate instances over 17 days where insulin administration records were incomplete or missing.

The facility also failed to hold required quarterly care conferences with families of severely impaired residents. Resident Y's responsible party told inspectors on January 23 that the facility hadn't invited them to a care conference in six to eight months.

Resident Y was admitted with congestive heart failure and required complete staff assistance for eating, toileting, bathing, and transfers, according to their December 5 assessment. The resident was classified as severely cognitively impaired.

When inspectors reviewed Resident Y's clinical record, they found no quarterly care plan conferences had been held since admission. The facility was required to conduct these meetings every three months to review resident progress and coordinate care with families.

After inspectors requested the missing documentation on January 29, the social services director produced three quarterly care conferences dated October 28, June 26, and May 13. All three documents were created on January 29 - the same day inspectors asked for them.

The insulin documentation failures affected multiple residents over nearly three weeks in January. State regulations require nursing homes to maintain accurate medication records and ensure proper administration of prescribed treatments.

Federal rules also mandate quarterly care conferences to keep families informed about their loved ones' condition and treatment plans, particularly for residents who cannot advocate for themselves due to cognitive impairment.
