Overview

Concordia Manor has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state rank of #626 out of 690, they are in the bottom half of nursing homes in Florida, and they rank #52 out of 64 in Pinellas County, meaning only one other local facility is rated worse. The facility's situation is worsening, with the number of reported issues increasing from 4 in 2024 to 10 in 2025. While staffing is rated 3 out of 5 stars, which is average, the turnover rate of 58% is concerning, as it exceeds the state average. Notably, there have been critical incidents where residents were not provided with adequate safety measures during bed mobility, resulting in a resident falling and suffering a hip fracture, along with failures in pain management for residents post-fall. While there have not been any fines, the overall conditions raise serious red flags for families considering this facility for their loved ones.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to protect the residents' right to be free from neglect related to ensuring safety during bed mobility consistent with the assessed and care planned needs for three residents (#2, #5, and #6) of three residents sampled for abuse and neglect.Resident #2 sustained a fall from the bed during care, resulting in a transfer to a higher level of care due to acute pain and was diagnosed with a hip fracture. Resident #2, a vulnerable resident, was not promptly assessed post fall, and the resident's acute pain was not addressed in a timely manner. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 was seen by a physician and that an ordered X-ray was completed. Resident #2, who was contracted and had other comorbidities, was not a candidate for surgical intervention resulting in on-going physical and psychosocial pain.This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury or death to Residents #2 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 9/10/25. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 9/10/25 and the scope and severity was reduced to an E.Findings included: 1. On 08/24/2025 at 1:30 p.m. Resident #2 was observed in bed. The resident spoke very faintly and was able to nod to yes and no to questions. The resident said she had been in constant pain since the fall. The resident stated, “I have pain in my hip, a lot, medications are helping sometimes and sometimes I do not receive it [pain medication]”. The resident stated on the day of the fall, 08/03/2025, there was one staff member in the room providing care. Resident #2 stated, “[the staff member] was changing me. I was cold and needed my cover. I don't know what happened I just fell to the ground.” The resident said when the fall occurred that staff member yelled out to get help then two more staff members came and assisted the resident back to bed. The resident stated she did not get out of bed and reported feeling worse since the fall. Resident #2 reported being in pain and not being able to eat at the time of the interview. On 09/08/2025 at 1:00 p.m. an observation and interview were conducted with Resident #2. Resident #2's Power of Attorney (POA) and a family member were observed at the bedside brushing the resident's hair. The resident stated being okay, but was still in pain, Resident #2 said, “When they move me, it hurts.” The resident said the nurse administered pain medication sometimes. Review of Resident #2's “admission Record” revealed Resident #2 was originally admitted to the facility on [DATE] and readmitted on [DATE] with a primary diagnosis of displaced intertrochanteric fracture of right femur, initial encounter for closed fracture, onset date 08/06/2025. Other diagnoses included contracture of right shoulder, contracture unspecified joint, hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side, unilateral osteoarthritis of right hip and left hip, muscle wasting and atrophy of right and left lower leg. On 08/24/25 at 5:33 p.m. a telephone interview was conducted with Staff G, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Staff G, CNA confirmed they were assigned to Resident #2 on 08/03/2025 and went to their room around 7:30 p.m. to provide care. Staff G, CNA reported standing by Resident #2's bedside, caring for her, and had just pulled down the covers when the resident began pointing at the sheet and stated she was cold. Staff G, CNA said she was going to change the resident when the resident began shivering and shaking. Staff G, CNA stated, “I turned around to get the sheet and I said let me cover you. When I went to get the sheet and turned around, [Resident #2] was on the floor. I yelled out for help.” Staff G, CNA confirmed they were the only staff member in the room at the time of the fall and said there were no other CNAs on that hall. Staff G, CNA said two nurses came to the room and assessed Resident #2 and helped get the resident back in bed. Staff G, CNA stated she had provided care to Resident #2 prior to the incident with no other staff assisting, including bathing and changing, but only found out after the fall that the resident required two staff assistance. Staff G, CNA did not know if there was enough staff at the facility at the time of the fall. Staff G, CNA said the facility had agency nurses working that shift and there had originally been two CNAs on the back hall but, one of them may have left around 7:30 p.m. but Staff G, CNA didn't remember exactly and didn't know why they left. Staff G, CNA confirmed she did not ask for assistance to provide care to Resident #2 on 08/03/2025 due to everyone being busy. Staff G, CNA also stated she had only worked in the facility a few times prior to this incident and had not had any training on the care of Resident #2. On 09/08/2025 at 1:00 p.m. an interview was conducted with Resident #2's family member and their POA while they visited Resident #2. The family member and POA both restated their concerns. They stated on the day of the fall, the resident was being turned during care, there was only one staff member present, and the staff dropped the resident. The family stated Resident #2 was bedridden and when the resident fell on [DATE] the staff put the resident back in bed instead of getting the resident help. They reported there was no phone call made to the family about the resident's fall and the POA found out from another family member the resident was in the hospital. The family member and the POA stated when they went to the hospital, they had a hard time finding the resident due to Resident #2 being admitted with the wrong name. The family stated Resident #2 reported a lot of pain once they arrived. The family member said, “I asked what happened. [Resident #2] said they dropped me. I asked, Who dropped you? [Resident #2] said, the people at the nursing home. [Resident #2] said it was a lady, wearing a red weave [hair]. She was turning me. [Resident #2] said pointing on their hip, it hurts.” The family said Resident #2 explained that two men had assisted Resident #2 back to bed. The resident's family member stated they spoke with the attending physician at the hospital, and it was explained to them that the hospital tried to do surgery but had to rule it out due to the resident being contracted. The family stated Resident #2 was discharged back to the facility and they visited the following morning around 11:00 a.m. only to find Resident #2 crying, in pain, and had not had any pain medication. The family member said they spoke with the nurse and two CNAs who were sitting at the nurses' station and asked when Resident #2 had pain medication last. The nurse said they did not have pain medication for Resident #2 because the prescription came with the wrong name, and they had to resubmit the prescription. The family member said the nurse reported the last dose of pain medication Resident #2 had was at the hospital, the night before. Review of Resident #2's care plan, revised on 11/02/2023 revealed “[Resident #2] has an ADL [activities of daily living] Self-Care Performance Deficit r/t [related to] impaired mobility due to CVA [cerebrovascular accident] with right sided hemiparesis.” The goal revealed “Will maintain current level of self performance with ADLs through next review.” The interventions included “BED MOBILITY: Dependent of 2 to turn and/or reposition Revision on: 01/09/2024.

She said, “The resident complains of pain all the time now. She does not want anyone to come near her,” and “she is scared we'll cause more pain when changing her”. Staff H, CNA stated Resident #2 was a two-person assist and was always dependent on two people because of contractures. Staff H, CNA said, “[Resident #2] is totally dependent on staff. She was at the time of the fall.” The CNA stated she heard the resident fell during care, but she was not working that day.

An interview was conducted with Staff F, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on 08/24/2025 at 1:35 p.m. Staff F, LPN stated Resident #2 complained of pain all the time since the fall. Staff F, LPN said the resident was typically assessed pain between a five or a six out ten on the pain scale. Staff F, LPN said, “She can't clearly say it. I don't think she can clearly articulate the levels, you can see it in her eyes though. She is in pain especially during care.” Staff F, LPN stated the CNAs are to make sure the resident had pillows for support and not bother her legs and hips. Staff F, LPN said at the time of the fall there were staffing concerns. There were only agency CNAs and nurses, she said. Staff F, LPN stated the Kardex (a care document showing a specific resident's care needs) for Resident #2 showed she was one person for bathing. Staff F, LPN stated the care plan still showed one staff for bathing. Staff F, LPN stated Resident #2 was contracted, had always been and that assessment would be confusing to staff. Staff F, LPN stated their regular staff knew the resident and they knew how to handle her. She stated there was supposed to be two staff for all care now. Review of the resident's narcotic log with Staff F, LPN confirmed even though the resident had been complaining of pain, there was no documentation pain medication been offered consistently.

The NHA stated he was new and could not speak of the incident. The RNC stated on 08/03/2025 at 8:15 p.m., Resident #2 had a fall from her bed while staff were in the room to provide care. The RNC stated the staff member was Staff G, CNA who was a facility staff who worked as needed (PRN). The RNC said Staff G, CNA no longer worked at the facility. The RNC stated they immediately initiated an investigation into the fall incident. She said the facility's immediate report showed one person had been utilized for bed mobility resulting in a fall and fracture while the resident was care planned for two-person assistance. The RNC stated further investigation, and recreation of the incident identified the staff member was not touching the resident at the time of the fall. She stated the resident had contractures on knees and hips, and the head of the bed (HOB) was elevated. She stated the resident's abductor pillow had fallen between the bed and the wall, and the staff member was on the opposite side, setting items up for care. The RNC reported the resident pointed at the abductor pillow and reached then rolled over and fell to the right. The RNC confirmed the resident was supposed to be a two person assist during care. The RNC stated after the fall, they immediately evaluated Resident #2 with no pain or discomfort noted, so the resident was placed back in the bed. The RNC said the resident had a typical night but the next morning she reported knee pain. She said Acetaminophen was administered and an X-ray was ordered for the resident. The RNC stated on 08/05/2025, the resident reported more pain on the hips and since the X-ray tech did not come, the resident was sent to the hospital. The RNC stated the hospital identified the resident to have severe bone osteoarthritis and a femur fracture with mild tissue swelling in the left knee. The RNC stated the resident came back and had more medications ordered, and a perimeter mattress was also implemented. She stated as a precaution, abuse and neglect education was completed for all staff and instructions to follow the Kardex. The RNC read Staff G, CNA's written statement and said “I was assigned to patient, went in for care. She was shaking like she cold. I turned to get a sheet, and patient was on the floor. I called for help. Nurse came, both came and assess her and put her in bed.” The RNC stated the nurse's statements showed they assessed the resident and put the resident back to bed. The RNC stated Staff I, LPN evaluated the resident on the floor, while Staff J, LPN assisted, and they transferred her to bed. The RNC confirmed Resident #2's record did not show documentation of the assessment. There were no records of vitals or skin checks dated 08/03/2025. The RNC said, “The nurse did not document in the progress notes, and no vitals were documented. They should have.” The RNC said the provider was notified and the notes should be scanned in the electronic medical record. The RNC stated the provider ordered an X-ray on 08/04/2025 which was never fulfilled. The RNC stated when the X-ray is ordered, the expectation is that the technician is here within 24 hours. The RNC stated if it's ordered immediately (STAT), then the expectation was that the X-ray be performed faster. The RNC said, “I can't speak of the physician's decision not to order STAT. No one asked.” The RNC stated they administered Acetaminophen which was effective. She stated on 08/05/2025 the resident had more pain, was refusing care, and did not want to be moved. She stated the resident was crying and they called the doctor and sent the resident out. The RNC stated on the 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift, they received notification from the hospital reporting a femur fracture. The RNC said the facility immediately reported to all entities. She stated their findings identified that the CNA (Staff G, CNA) was in the room, she pulled the sheets and did not provide care. The RNC said Resident #2 fell before the staff member could help. She stated there were no staffing concerns at that time. The RNC said, “The CNA had gone into the room, was setting things up and did not touch resident, and the resident fell on her own, she was not being turned.” She stated they did not identify findings of neglect, however they re-educated all staff on abuse and neglect. Review of Resident #2's skin assessments for the month of August 2025 revealed only one assessment was completed, dated 08/12/2025 without any impairments noted. The review confirmed the care plan intervention initiated on 08/10/2025, to observe limb for swelling and skin changes was not implemented. During an interview with Staff K, OT on 09/08/25 at 1:04 p.m., she said she was working with Resident #2 on her upper body range of motion (ROM). She stated they were spending less time with the resident because, “the resident has been in a lot of pain lately”. Staff K, OT stated since the fall, the only change from therapy's perspective was to maintain low bed all the time and to offer pain medication if the resident requested. She stated she was not aware of any other interventions or any changes to the plan of care. Staff K, OT stated during therapy sessions, Resident #2 was obviously in pain sometimes. On 09/08/2025 at 10:47 a.m. an interview was conducted with Resident #2's primary care physician (PCP). The PCP confirmed seeing Resident #2 when they got out of the hospital, recently. The PCP stated they did not necessarily write notes every time they see patients. The PCP said the resident was bedridden and contracted on both sides. The PCP stated Resident #2 could not move self and the facility was trying to figure out how the resident would have gotten out of bed alone. The PCP said, “I told them I did not have an answer. The resident does not have bed mobility; “I do not believe [Resident #2] could have moved herself to the floor.” The PCP said they did not remember being called when the resident fell. The PCP confirmed being called “much later.” The PCP stated they did not know about the requested PCP follow-up. The PCP stated as far as the pain assessment, the resident now had the hip fracture and would have increased pain. The PCP stated, “It would have to be more pain, probably when they try to move [Resident #2].” The PCP stated they talked to the nurses during visits, but the nurses have been changing way too often, and they did not know if the nurses documented anything they discussed. The PCP stated the problem with the facility was they have been changing administration too often. The PCP said, “There is no continuation of care.” Review of physician notes for Resident #2 revealed the resident was seen by the PCP on 08/29/2025. The note revealed the resident … with right dominant side paresis, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), bilateral lower extremities (BLE) contractures and the documented associated comorbidities. Patient (pt) hospitalized for a fall from her bed resulting in a hip fracture. Patient seen for continuation of care. Staff do not report new concerns. The assessment and plan of care reviewed and documented below: Closed fracture of right hip with routine healing, subsequent encounter: Notes right intertrochanteric femoral fracture on CT 08/05/2025 status post (s/p) fall from bed. To be seen and be evaluated by ortho on 08/25. No surgical interventions as patient is bedbound at baseline has PRN meds. The note revealed, “Will likely need to be medicated when she needs to be moved /changed/bathed.” An interview was conducted with the facility's Medical Director (MD) on 09/08/2025 at 11:40 a.m. The MD stated Resident #2 was not his patient but heard about them in Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI). The MD stated they discussed what happened and how they could prevent reoccurrence. The MD stated he did not remember specific details regarding Resident #2, but he would have expected the nursing staff to follow their policies and procedures post fall. He said for dependent residents, he would have expected to see two staff members providing care per the plan of care. He stated if a resident was found on the floor, he would expect the nurse to triage, assess, and see if the resident should be moved or not. He said if the on-call physician did not answer their phone, he would have expected staff to call 911. The MD stated all incidents should be documented at the time of injury. The MD stated the X-rays should be ordered STAT for a fall with reported pain, with an expectation for the orders to be fulfilled. He stated he did not know if the x-ray technician missed it. He stated either way, there should have been a follow -up. The MD stated the resident should have been sent out sooner and if the resident was in pain, the PCP should be contacted to evaluate if the interventions were working. He stated it should be documented. The MD stated when the resident is being sent out, the nurse should give the emergency medical team (EMT) the resident's information and current orders. He said staff should have contacted the PCP right away to obtain a new script if the one they received from the hospital had a wrong name.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide the number of staff needed to ensure safety during bed mobility consistent with the assessed and care planned needs for four residents (#2, #3, #5 and #6) of five residents sampled for falls.Resident #2 sustained a fall from the bed during care, resulting in a transfer to a higher level of care due to acute pain and was diagnosed with a hip fracture. Resident #2, a vulnerable resident, was not promptly assessed post fall, and the resident's acute pain was not addressed in a timely manner. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 was seen by a physician and that an ordered X-ray was completed. Resident #2, who was contracted and had other comorbidities, was not a candidate for surgical intervention resulting in on-going physical and psychosocial pain.This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury or death to Residents #2 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 09/10/2025. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 09/10/2025 and the scope and severity was reduced to an E.Findings included: 1. On 08/24/2025 at 1:30 p.m. Resident #2 was observed in bed. The resident spoke very faintly and was able to nod to yes and no to questions.

The resident stated on the day of the fall, 08/03/2025, there was one staff member in the room providing care. Resident #2 stated, “[the staff member] was changing me. I was cold and needed my cover. I don't know what happened I just fell to the ground.” The resident said when the fall occurred that staff member yelled out to get help then two more staff members came and assisted the resident back to bed. The resident stated she did not get out of bed and reported feeling worse since the fall. Resident #2 reported being in pain and not being able to eat at the time of the interview. On 09/08/2025 at 1:00 p.m. an observation and interview were conducted with Resident #2. Resident #2's Power of Attorney (POA) and a family member were observed at the bedside brushing the resident's hair.

Staff G, CNA said two nurses came to the room and assessed Resident #2 and helped get the resident back in bed. Staff G, CNA stated she had provided care to Resident #2 prior to the incident with no other staff assisting, including bathing and changing, but only found out after the fall that the resident required two staff assistance. Staff G, CNA did not know if there was enough staff at the facility at the time of the fall. Staff G, CNA said the facility had agency nurses working that shift and there had originally been two CNAs on the back hall but, one of them may have left around 7:30 p.m. but Staff G, CNA didn't remember exactly and didn't know why they left.

The PCP confirmed being called “much later.” The PCP stated they did not know about the requested PCP follow-up. The PCP stated as far as the pain assessment, the resident now had the hip fracture and would have increased pain.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to ensure pain control and management for residents' post fall for two residents (#2 and #5) of three residents reviewed. Resident #2 sustained a femur fracture which she was not a surgical candidate for. Resident #2 continued to have uncontrolled pain which continued to affect her activities of daily living. The facility failed to accurately assess and notify the physician of Resident #2's uncontrolled pain. Resulting in on-going physical pain and psychosocial harm.Resident #2 sustained a fall from the bed during care, resulting in a transfer to a higher level of care due to acute pain and was diagnosed with a hip fracture. Resident #2, a vulnerable resident, was not promptly assessed post fall, and the resident's acute pain was not addressed in a timely manner. The facility failed to ensure Resident #2 was seen by a physician and that an ordered X-ray was completed. Resident #2, who was contracted and had other comorbidities, was not a candidate for surgical intervention resulting in on-going physical pain and psychosocial harm.This failure created a situation that resulted in a worsened condition and the likelihood for serious injury or death to Residents #2 and resulted in the determination of Immediate Jeopardy on 09/10/2025. The findings of Immediate Jeopardy were determined to be removed on 09/10/2025 and the scope and severity was reduced to an E.Findings included: 1.

She stated for interventions post fall the IDT (interdisciplinary team) would have met and discussed the changes. Staff N, OT stated the change she had noted since the fall was that Resident #2 is non-weight bearing because of the fracture. Staff N, OT stated changes to the care plan would have been discussed with the IDT team, who should pass it on to nursing. The Kardex should reflect the most recent plan of care.

The person is shared between this facility and the sister facility. If the previous MDS Coordinator received the notification, I would not know. She stated their goal was to continue auditing. She stated they realized the problem was also duplicated care plans with readmission from the hospital. The staff should not have started a new care plan. They should re-instate the old one. The MDS Coordinator said, Our investigation included review of his history, he was a 2-person. Staff were historically using 2 staff for all care. Today, if I were to assess him, he would definitely be a 2-person assist. The Traveling MDS Coordinator stated she was currently auditing other care plans to see if any other interventions had resolved. A follow-up interview was conducted with the Regional Risk Manager and the NHA on [DATE] at 2:53 p.m. The Risk Manager stated she would have expected staff to call the administration. She stated the fall should have been brought up in the morning meeting.

Report any worrisome clinical symptomatology such as sudden onset shortness of breath, severe headache, new onset neck pain, chest pain, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, syncope. History of present illness: .Staff also bring to my attention that patient has multiple blood pressure medications ordered with parameters. They state that patient consistently does not receive his blood pressure medications and is going on for many months if not longer. They state patient's blood pressure us typically anywhere from low 100 systolic to 120 systolic. They asked that I look at his medications and adjust them is possible . An interview was conducted with Staff B, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) on 03/07/22 at 2:40 p.m. She stated Residents #2 and #33 consistently have low blood pressures but people will still give them their blood pressure medications out of range. The Administration will educate us, but the resolution is to remove the parameters when these residents have low blood pressure the nurses just need to follow the physicians' orders. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) was conducted on 03/09/22 at 11:29 a.m. she stated we have to take the blood pressure before we give the medication, and the medication should be given per the physician's orders. A phone interview was conducted with Resident #2 and #33's Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) on 03/09/22 at 10:19 a.m. he stated he was at the facility on 3/4/22 and my recommendations were to stop Resident #2's Coreg [Carvedilol] and continue her Amlodipine. Her parameters should not have been removed from the order. Both Resident #2 and #33 have a history of being hypertensive and I want the nurses to have something in the event their blood pressure is high but, I don't want them to give the blood pressure medications if they are running low that is why the parameters should be there. I have been a nurse for 8 years and that is nursing 101 to take the blood pressure before giving a blood pressure medication to ensure it is being administered appropriately. The DON brought it to my attention the nurses were not taking the blood pressures before administering the medications for both Resident #2 and #33 and I nicely told her, well that sounds like a teachable moment. Both residents should have parameters in place and the nurses should be giving the medications within those parameters. Unfortunately, it sounds like on my next visit I need to do some education and make sure parameters are in place. Review of the facility's policy Medication Monitoring Medication Management dated 09/10 indicated: Policy: In order to optimize the therapeutic benefit of medication therapy and minimize or prevent potential adverse consequences, facility staff, the attending physician/prescriber, and the consultant pharmacist perform ongoing monitoring for appropriate, effective, and safe medication use.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observations, record reviews, and interviews the facility failed to obtain a physician response and to implement orders related to pharmacy recommendations in a timely manner for one (#19) out of five residents sampled for unnecessary medications. Findings included: Resident #19 was interviewed on 3/2/21 at 12:37 p.m. while he was lying in bed after the noon meal. On 3/4/21 at 12:40 p.m., the resident was observed sitting on the front porch with supervision smoking a cigarette. Resident #19 was admitted on [DATE]. The admission Record included diagnoses not limited to unspecified Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and unspecified Peripheral Vascular Disease. The 5-day Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], indicated a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score of 6 out of 15 indicative of severe cognitive impairment. A review of a Pharmacy Recommendation for Resident #19, dated 12/5/20, indicated a recommendation that read, Resident has an order for Spiriva Inhaler. The normal dose for Spiriva is 2 inhalations with one capsule daily. Recommend changing to the 2 inhalation with one capsule daily to maximize effect. The recommendation was unsigned by the physician and did not include a response that the physician either agreed or disagreed with the recommendation. A second recommendation regarding the resident's Spiriva was made on 2/7/21. The recommendation indicated that the physician agreed and signed it on 2/7/21. A review of Resident #19's December 2020, January 2021, February 2021, and March 2021's Medication Administration Records (MAR) indicated a physician order, dated 12/4/20, that instructed staff to administer Spiriva Handi-haler 18 microgram (mcg) capsule (Tiotropium Bromide Monohydrate) - 1 capsule inhale orally one time a day for COPD. The MAR revealed the Spiriva Handi-haler had been administered daily from 12/5/20 until 3/3/21 except for 1/13/21 and 2/24/21. The MAR's identified that the order was discontinued on 3/3/21 at 1704 (5:04 p.m.). At 4:08 p.m. on 3/3/21, the NHA provided the pharmacy's December 2020 list of no recommendations and clean copies of recommendations made for three of the five residents, including Resident #19. The NHA identified that the DON was printing out the orders from the recommendations to show that the facility had implemented the changes. Upon returning to the DON's office on 3/3/21 at 4:45 p.m., she stated she was printing out the orders from the December 2020 recommendations to show that they had been followed up. When asked to review Resident #19's December 2020 and February 2021 pharmacy recommendations regarding Spiriva, the DON and Regional DON reviewed the Spiriva order and the two recommendations and confirmed that the order had not been responded to in December and not changed in February per physician response on 2/7/21. When asked what was a reasonable time for the physician to respond to a pharmacy recommendation, the DON stated 2-3 weeks. When asked what her process was for ensuring pharmacy recommendations were reviewed and that the physician had responded, the DON stated that she printed off the individual recommendations, handed them to the floor nurse responsible for the resident, and they were to call the physician regarding the recommendation and put the order (if necessary) into the computer then place the recommendation into the physician book for their signature. She stated she followed up with the recommendations throughout the month to ensure they were done. The DON stated the missed December 2020 recommendation for Resident #19 was her fault, I must have missed it. Immediately after entering the facility at 7:34 a.m. on 3/4/21, a copy was observed of Resident #19's pharmacy recommendation related to Spiriva. The copy continued to be unsigned and indicated a Telephone Order (T.O.) 3/3/21 Received new order (n.o.) from 'named physician' to change Spiriva inhale to 2 inhalation with (c) one capsule daily. Included with the note was an order written to start on 3/4/21 at 9:00 a.m. for Spiriva one capsule one time a day, scheduled for everyday with the additional direction of give 2 inhalation with 1 capsule daily. The review of the Pharmacy Recommendations for Resident #19's administered Spiriva identified that the recommendation was responded to two days shy of three months after the original recommendation was made and 24 days after the physician signed that he agreed with the pharmacy request to change Spiriva dosage. On 3/4/21 at 10:26 a.m., the DON stated the process for the pharmacy recommendation was that after the physician signed it, they would give it to the nurse and the nurse would input the order into the computer, if necessary. When asked what the procedure would be if the nurse was not available when the recommendation was signed, she stated the physician would place the signed recommendation in their binder and then Medical Records would take out the recommendation and give it the nurse to put the order in the computer. She identified that after the nurse put the order into the computer they would give it back to Medical Records for filing. The DON stated she goes to the unit and checks that the pharmacy recommendations and orders (if applicable) are in the computer, she identified that all physician orders are reviewed in the facility's morning meeting. An interview was conducted on 3/4/21 at 1:36 p.m. with the facility's Medical Director. When asked what his expectation was for the facility to respond to a pharmacy recommendation. He stated that pharmacy recommendations trickle in and the physicians are in once or twice a week so should be taken care of at that time. When asked what the expectation was for the facility to implement a recommendation that had been responded to and signed by the physician, he stated within 24 hours. In response to a request for the Pharmacy Recommendations policy, on 3/4/21, the facility provided a typewritten, undated procedure, Pharmacy Consultant Recommendation Follow Up. The procedure identified the following: 1. DON receives report from pharmacy consultant 2. DON makes copies of all recommendations 3. DON distributes recommendations to appropriate Unit Manager for follow up 4. Unit Manager follows up with the physician regarding recommendations 5. Orders are written and carried out as appropriate 6. Unit Manager files completed recommendation in chart 7. Unit Manager gives copy of completed recommendation to DON 8. DON checks off recommendation as completed on the Master Report which is kept in a Pharmacy Consultant Report binder in the DON office. At 1:57 a.m. on 3/4/21, the DON was asked who the Unit Manager was, she stated, we don't have one, I'm the Unit Manager. The Regional DON stated the procedure of Pharmacy Consultant Recommendation Follow Up was for the bigger buildings and the DON acted as the Unit Manager and in these case the Unit Manager would be the floor nurses. The Regional stated the facility does not have a policy for pharmacy recommendations so it would fall under Physician Orders. At 2:08 p.m. on 3/5/21, the Consultant Pharmacist stated her expectation would be for the recommendation to be responded to by her next visit, 30 days later, give or take. She confirmed that the recommendation for Resident #19's Spiriva was done in December then again in February. She acknowledged that she had not been in the facility yet during March. The policy titled Physician Orders, February 2020, identified that Physician orders will be dated and signed at next physician visit. The procedure portion of the policy included the following: 1. Obtain one of the following types of physician orders: - verbal - telephone order - transmitted by facsimile machine - written by the physician 11. Note physician's order (recaps/renewals, telephone/verbal, or fax orders, etc.) by writing noted dating, and signing with name and title.; 13. Physician will sign the monthly recap/renewals orders at the next visit, unless otherwise determined by state law; 16. When the physician changes an order that is currently in place, discontinue the original physician's order when the physician changes an order that is currently in place. Assure the new order reflects the change and order components required.

These included: 3 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 1 that caused actual resident harm, and 13 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.

Who Owns and Operates Concordia Manor?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Concordia Manor?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, and the facility's high staff turnover rate.

Do Nurses at Concordia Manor Stick Around?

Staff turnover at CONCORDIA MANOR is high. At 58%, the facility is 12 percentage points above the Florida average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 75%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

Was Concordia Manor Ever Fined?

CONCORDIA MANOR has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Concordia Manor on Any Federal Watch List?

CONCORDIA MANOR is currently an SFF Candidate, meaning CMS has identified it as potentially qualifying for the Special Focus Facility watch list. SFF Candidates have a history of serious deficiencies but haven't yet reached the threshold for full SFF designation. The facility is being monitored more closely — if problems continue, it may be added to the official watch list. Families should ask what the facility is doing to address the issues that led to this status.
