Overview

Renaissance at the Terraces has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #266 out of 690 facilities in Florida, placing it in the top half of the state, and #6 of 19 in Lee County, meaning only five local facilities are ranked higher. The facility's trend is stable, with 2 concerns reported in both 2023 and 2024, showing consistency in their performance. Staffing is a strength here, with a 4-star rating and a remarkable 0% turnover, well below the Florida average of 42%, ensuring that residents are cared for by familiar faces. Notably, there have been no fines, and the facility has better RN coverage than 84% of Florida facilities, which enhances patient care. However, there are some weaknesses to consider. Recent inspections revealed issues such as failure to properly store and clean food preparation areas, which raises concerns about sanitation, and the facility did not assess two residents for alternative interventions before using bed rails, which could pose safety risks. Additionally, one resident did not receive timely podiatry services for foot health, indicating potential gaps in care coordination. Overall, while Renaissance at the Terraces has strong staffing and good ratings, families should be aware of these specific concerns as they make their decision.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, record review, review of policies and procedures, resident and staff interview, the facility failed to provide reasonable interventions and adequate monitoring to meet the needs of 1 (Resident #180) of 1 sampled resident requiring continuous use of oxygen. The findings included: The facility policy Oxygen Administration (revised 10/2010) documented, The purpose of this procedure is to provide guidelines for safe oxygen administration . Before administering oxygen, and while the resident is receiving oxygen therapy, assess for the following: 1. Signs or symptoms of cyanosis (blue tone to the skin and mucous membranes). 2. Signs or symptoms of hypoxia (rapid breathing, rapid pulse, restlessness, confusion). 3. Signs or symptoms of oxygen toxicity (difficulty breathing, slow or shallow rate of breathing). Review of the clinical record showed Resident #180 was admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses including, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dependence on supplemental oxygen. The admission orders dated 9/18/21 included oxygen therapy at 2 liters per minute per nasal cannula continuous. The clinical record revealed a care plan dated 9/20/21 specifying Resident #180 was at risk for respiratory complications due to a diagnosis of Congestive Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The interventions listed on the care plan included to administer oxygen per order and monitor the resident for signs and symptoms of hypoxemia (low concentration of oxygen in the blood) such as restlessness, forgetfulness, anxiety, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin from inadequate oxygenation), and lethargy. The staff was to assess the resident's respiratory status as needed and notify the physician of any abnormalities. On 9/20/21 at 12:14 p.m., Resident #180 was observed in bed, moving about in bed, restless and breathing fast. Resident #180 said he was short of breath and wanted a nebulizer (a machine that turns liquid medication into a mist inhaled into the lungs) treatment. Resident #180 said the nurse gave him an inhaler and said she would have to contact the physician to order the nebulizer. Resident #180 said, I keep telling her I can't breathe. The oxygen concentrator was observed plugged to the wall outlet, turned on and set at three liters. The oxygen tubing prongs were correctly placed in the resident's nostrils. The other end of the tubing was on the floor and not connected to the oxygen concentrator. Resident #180 was not receiving any oxygen. *Photographic Evidence Obtained* Registered Nurse (RN) Staff H was notified of Resident #180's complaint of difficulty breathing and request for assistance. RN Staff H walked in the room, checked the concentrator, said it was functioning properly. Upon further conversation with RN Staff H she noted the oxygen tubing was not connected to the concentrator. RN Staff H replaced the oxygen tubing, connected it to the concentrator and Resident #180. RN Staff H did not complete a respiratory assessment to determine the need for further intervention. On 9/21/21 at 5:10 p.m., a review of the clinical record showed no documentation RN Staff H completed a respiratory assessment for Resident #180 on 9/20/21. On 9/22/21 at 5:05 p.m., in an interview the Director of Nursing, said it was the nurse's responsibility to ensure a resident's oxygen was set on the physician ordered flow rate and functioning properly.

Based on observation, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure all medications were locked and secured when not in sight and failed to date opened medications to prevent expired medications from being administered to residents in 1 (3rd floor medication cart) of 2 medication carts. This had the potential for unsecured and expired medications to create hazardous health consequences for residents in the facility. The findings included: The facility policy Storage of Medications (revised 4/2007) specified, The facility shall store all drugs biologicals in a safe, secure and orderly manner . The facility shall not use discontinued, outdated, or deteriorated drugs or biologicals . Compartments (including carts, drawers, and boxes) containing drugs and biologicals shall be locked when not in use. 1.

Do Nurses at Renaissance At The Terraces Stick Around?

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
