Key Review Excerpts

My mother has been there a little over a month and they have kept me completely up-to-date. Mom has made friends and is eating well, has gained a little weight even. She has frontal-lobe Dementia with Delusional Disorder and is quite angry about being there, but the staff has made me feel much better.

Resident RightsD911

The facility failed to treat a resident with respect, consideration, and dignity by blending all pureed food items together rather than following the prescribed menu. Kitchen staff combined items like eggs, bacon, and toast into the grits for flavor, which deviated from the diet extension menu instructions to serve items separately.

The facility failed to ensure one resident was treated with respect, consideration, and dignity. Specifically, the facility blended all pureed food items together for the resident instead of following the specific instructions provided in the puree menu.

Declaration of Residents' RightsD911

The facility failed to uphold the resident's right to be treated with dignity and individuality. Kitchen staff were observed blending all components of the resident's pureed diet (eggs, bacon, toast, and grits) into a single mixture, and staff failed to report this practice to management.

Mar 27, 2015Other
Health CareD 273

The facility failed to ensure proper referral and follow-up for residents' health needs, specifically regarding medication administration. One resident with mental illness frequently refused morning medications, leading to increased depression and suicidal ideation, while another resident refused necessary oxygen and heart medications. Additionally, medication administration processes were inconsistent, with staff failing to deliver medications to residents' rooms.
