River Bend Nursing: Care Planning Failures - IN

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

The Director of Nursing told inspectors on January 29 that night shift nurses obtained morning blood sugar readings for residents and passed results to day shift nurses, who administered insulin at breakfast. "Sometimes it gets missed in documentation," the director said.

Inspectors documented 12 separate dates between January 8 and January 25 when insulin documentation failures occurred.

The facility also failed to hold required quarterly care conferences for Resident Y, whose family hadn't been invited to a meeting in six to eight months, according to the resident's responsible party interviewed on January 23.

Resident Y was admitted with congestive heart failure and severe cognitive impairment. The December 5 assessment showed the resident was completely dependent on staff for eating, toileting, bathing, and transfers.

The resident's clinical record contained no quarterly care plan conferences since admission.

When inspectors requested care plan conferences on January 29 at 8:51 a.m., the social services director provided three documents within hours. The conferences were dated October 28, 2025, June 26, 2025, and May 13, 2025.

All three documents were created on January 29, 2026 — the same day inspectors requested them.

The facility violated federal regulations requiring proper medication documentation and quarterly care conferences involving residents' families or representatives. Both violations affected multiple residents and created potential for actual harm.

The inspection was conducted in response to complaints about the 47720 Stocker Drive facility.
