River Bend Nursing: Respiratory Care Failures - IN
The facility's social services director produced three supposedly completed care plan conferences on January 29 — all created that same day during the inspection. The documents bore dates from May 13, June 26, and October 28 of the previous year, but computer records showed they were fabricated while inspectors were on site.
One resident's family member told inspectors the facility had not invited them to a care conference in six to eight months, despite federal requirements for quarterly meetings. The resident, identified as Resident Y, suffers from congestive heart failure and severe cognitive impairment.
According to the resident's December assessment, staff must do all the work for basic functions including eating, toileting, bathing, and transfers. Federal regulations require nursing homes to hold care plan conferences every three months to review treatment goals and coordinate with families.
The inspection also uncovered medication documentation failures affecting multiple residents over a two-week period in January. The Director of Nursing explained that night shift nurses obtained morning blood sugar readings for diabetic residents and passed results to day shift nurses, who administered insulin at breakfast.
"Sometimes it gets missed in documentation," the Director of Nursing told inspectors during a January 29 interview.
Blood sugar records showed gaps on January 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 21, 22, 24, and 25. Missing documentation for diabetic medication creates safety risks and violates federal standards requiring accurate medical records.
The facility requested actual care plan conferences only after inspectors identified the violations. Federal regulations mandate these meetings to ensure residents receive appropriate care and keep families informed about treatment decisions.
The inspection was conducted in response to complaints about the 47720 Stocker Drive facility.
