Eagle Rock Health: Care Plan Failures Risk Residents - ID
Federal inspectors found the facility failed to revise care plans for two residents despite physician orders that changed their treatment requirements. The violations placed residents at risk for adverse outcomes when care wasn't provided because plans didn't match current medical needs.
Resident #2 had been readmitted to the facility with multiple diagnoses including a fractured right tibia and anxiety. On March 6, her physician ordered edema management for her right lower leg: apply a Tubi grip compression garment in the morning, remove it in the evening.
Three weeks later, inspectors found the resident sitting in her room without the compression device. They returned two days later and observed the same thing.
"My right lower leg is swollen and has been for a while," the resident told inspectors during an interview on April 1.
When inspectors reviewed her care plan the next morning, they found no documentation about the Tubi grip treatment. Her treatment administration record also contained no reference to the compression garment order.
The facility's Chief Nursing Officer admitted the care plan and treatment record should have been updated when the resident received the physician's orders. They hadn't been.
The facility's own policy, revised in September 2025, required updates to care plans "as needed based on the residents' response to interventions or changes in condition."
A second resident experienced similar care plan failures involving oxygen therapy. Resident #12 had been readmitted with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, and an enlarged heart.
On March 9, the resident's physician ordered continuous oxygen at 3 liters per minute through a nasal cannula. But when inspectors reviewed the care plan three weeks later, it still contained outdated oxygen instructions from months earlier.
The plan documented two different oxygen settings from previous orders: oxygen via nasal prongs at 0-4 liters as needed to maintain saturation at 90 percent or greater, initiated February 10, 2025, and continuous oxygen at 2 liters per minute, initiated June 24, 2025.
Neither entry reflected the current physician order for 3 liters per minute continuously.
The Chief Nursing Officer acknowledged that Resident #12's care plan should have been updated with the March 9 oxygen order. It had not been.
Federal regulations require nursing homes to develop comprehensive care plans that address each resident's medical needs and ensure those plans are revised when conditions change. The plans serve as roadmaps for staff to provide appropriate care and monitor resident progress.
When care plans don't match current physician orders, staff may provide incorrect treatments or miss critical interventions entirely. For Resident #2, the failure meant potentially inadequate management of leg swelling that could worsen her recovery from a fractured tibia. For Resident #12, outdated oxygen settings could compromise respiratory care for someone with chronic lung disease.
The inspection found minimal harm or potential for actual harm affected few residents. But the systematic failure to update care plans despite clear physician orders suggests broader problems with the facility's care coordination processes.
Eagle Rock Health and Rehabilitation of Cascadia operates at 840 East Elva Street in Idaho Falls. The facility's care plan revision policy explicitly requires updates based on residents' changing conditions, yet staff failed to follow their own procedures for basic medical orders.
Both residents remained at the facility during the April 2 inspection, continuing to receive care under outdated plans that didn't reflect their current medical needs.
