Inspectors cited Riverbend Post Acute Rehabilitation on November 19, 2025, for deficient pressure ulcer care.

It was one of seven deficiencies inspectors recorded during that visit.

The bags were still there the next morning.

Federal health inspectors visited Waveny Care Center on November 18 and left with seven deficiency citations.

That last part is what sets this citation apart.

Federal health inspectors visited the Springfield facility on November 19, 2025, responding to a complaint.

The violation was tagged as a pattern, meaning inspectors saw it happening more than once.

Federal inspectors cited the facility under a standard requiring that residents receive care consistent with professional standards.

The violation came to light during a complaint inspection completed in November 2025.

The citation, issued November 20, 2025, found that the facility had failed to provide or obtain dental services for its residents.

A resident who cannot feed themselves, who depends entirely on staff to bring a tray and assist with eating, has no way to reheat what arrives cold.

What they did not find was any documentation that the facility had ever responded to the advance directive request the resident had made at the front door.
