Reunion Plaza Senior Care: Transport Safety Failures - TX
Inspectors found the right wheel tie-down on the resident's wheelchair had not been fastened. Testing at the scene showed the unsecured chair would shift only two to four inches to the right when tilted backward, but inspectors noted that a full backward fall would require both the right and left tie-downs to be loose simultaneously. The left tie-down had been secured. The resident was not injured.
The facility had already fired the driver, identified in inspection records as Van Driver A, before inspectors arrived. The administrator told inspectors on September 24 that he believed terminating the driver was the right call. A replacement driver, Van Driver B, was waiting on safety training from an outside company. That training had been scheduled for September 22 but never happened. The administrator said the company and the facility had gotten their times crossed up somehow.
As of the inspection date, the new driver had not yet received the specialized training for safely transporting residents in wheelchairs. The administrator said he would serve as a backup driver himself, and that both he and Van Driver B would go through the company's training when it was rescheduled for September 29, five days after inspectors arrived.
The administrator, director of nursing, assistant director of nursing, and MDS coordinator were formally notified of the immediate jeopardy finding by verbal notice and email later that afternoon.
The outside company whose scheduling error helped create the gap in training had not yet arrived.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
