Overview

Manor Court of Peru has received an impressive Trust Grade of A, indicating it is an excellent choice for families seeking care. Ranking #60 out of 665 facilities in Illinois places it in the top half, while being #1 of 9 in La Salle County means it outperforms all local competitors. However, the facility's trend is concerning as issues have increased from 4 in 2022 to 6 in 2024. Staffing is a relative strength with a turnover rate of 35%, lower than the state average, but RN coverage is only average. Notably, there have been specific incidents such as residents not having their call lights within reach, which could lead to safety risks, and a failure to properly label and date stored food, affecting all residents. Overall, while the facility has commendable strengths in its ratings and staffing stability, the rising number of concerns should be carefully considered by families.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident with a new diagnosis of mental illness was referred to the state agency for a level II PASARR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review) evaluation for one of one resident (R3) reviewed for PASARR screening in the sample of 46. Findings include: R3's current electronic medical record profile and Face Sheet, documents R3 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and diagnosed with Schizophrenia on 2/19/24. R3's most recent Level I PASARR evaluation, dated 3/17/22, documents at the time of evaluation R3 had mental health diagnoses of: Major Depression, Paranoid personality, and Anxiety. R3's medical record does not document that R3 has had any further PASARR screening or evaluation since R3's new diagnosis of Schizophrenia in February 2024. On 10/30/24 at 11:42 AM, V8 (Social Service Director) stated We switched over to a new system of PASARR screenings in 2022. (R3) had an onsite evaluation in March of 2022. At that time (R3) did not have the diagnosis of Schizophrenia. That diagnosis was added in February of 2024. I am not sure when I am supposed to redo her PASARR screen. I am going to have to call them and find out. I am thinking it should have been re-done in February with the new Schizophrenia diagnosis.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review the Facility failed to provide supervision for one of three Physical Disability/Intellectual Disability Residents (R1) reviewed for assistance to Doctor's appointments. Findings include: Facility Notice of Privacy Practices Policy, dated 10/23/17, documents: we will use your health information for regular operations; members of the medical staff, risk/quality improvement manager, or members of the quality improvement team may use information in your health record to assess the care and outcomes in your case; the information will then be in an effort to continually improve the quality and effectiveness of the health care and services we provide. Residents' Rights for People in Long-Term Care Facilities, revised 10/2014, documents: the Facility must provide services to keep your physical and mental health, and sense of satisfaction; and your Facility must make reasonable arrangements to meet your needs and choices. R1's Physician Order Sheet/POS, dated 4/12/24, documents that R1 admitted to the facility on [DATE]. R1's diagnoses include: Cerebral Infarction, Contusion of the Left Lower Leg, Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis, Cognitive Communication Deficit, Dysphagia, Muscle Weakness, Intellectual Disabilities, Pacemaker, Lack of Coordination and Abnormal Posture. R1's POS also documents Physician Orders for an Indwelling Suprapubic Urinary Catheter, Mechanical Soft/Thin Liquid diet and an Orthopedic office visit scheduled for 3/25/24 at 3:15 pm, with a local vehicle transport company to transport and pick up R1 from the Facility on 3/25/14 at 2:30 pm. R1's Minimum Data Set/MDS, dated [DATE], documents: Section B, R1 always needs assistance with reading instructions or written material; Section C, Brief Interview for Mental Illness/BIMS score documents R1 is Severely Cognitively Impaired (BIMS score is 0/15); Section F, R1 is rarely/never understood; Section GG, R1 unable to perform Activities of Daily Living, walk/step up or down stairs, unable to transfer in and out of a car on a passenger side. R1's current Care Plan, documents: R1 is at risk for pain related to recent Left Thigh Hematoma and staff to monitor for non-verbal signs and symptoms of pain,; Anxiety and Mild Depression; Risk for falling related to Intellectual Disability, Development Disorder of Speech and Language, Incontinence, Poor Mobility with Right Sided Weakness post Cerebral Infarct/Stroke; and has an indwelling suprapubic catheter that increases the risk for tripping; and is nonverbal except for occasional yes or no questions. R1's Nursing Notes, dated 3/25/24 at 1:02 pm, document a telephone conversation with V7 (R1's Nephew/Guardian). V7 stated V7 was unable to accompany R1 to appointment (on 3/25/24) and that R1's appointment needed to be rescheduled. R1's Nursing Note, dated 3/25/24 at 1:13 pm, documents a telephone conversation with R1's Orthopedic Doctor's Office, and the Doctor's Office still want to keep today's appointment, aware of (transportation service) set up. R1's Nursing Note, dated 3/25/24 at 6:01 pm, documents R1's return from the Doctor appointment back to the Facility. R1's letter from the Orthopedic Doctor office, dated 3/5/24, documents an appointment reminder for 3/25/24 at 3:15 pm. R1's General Physician Order, dated 3/5/24, documents an Orthopedic Doctor appointment scheduled for 3/25/24 at 3:15 pm, and a 2:30 pm transport pick up time. On 4/12/24 at 11:05 am, R1 was supine in bed and unable to follow commands and was non-verbal. On 4/12/24, at 10:01 am, V7 (R1's Guardian/Nephew) stated, I spoke with the Facility on 3/25/24 and told them that I was unable to go to my Uncle's appointment with him that day. I work swing shifts and my schedule conflicts with some of these appointments. I called them and told them that they were making appointments and not asking me when I was available to go with him. On 4/12/24 at 9:18 am, V4 (Orthopedic Doctor's Registered Nurse) stated, (R1) was sent to our office for a 3:15 pm appointment and was transported by a local transport company. The local transport companies just wheel the patient's in and leave them. (R1) was sitting in the waiting room and was non-verbal and unable to do anything for himself. We noticed (R1) trying to propel (R1's) legs in the wheelchair, and was kicking (R1's) legs off of the floor, and we thought (R1) was going to fall out of the wheelchair. So we had someone sit with him. (R1) also had a catheter bag, that was uncovered and dragging the floor. We did not know if (R1) was thirsty or needed bathroom assistance either. (R1) came for a follow-up appointment for an abscess on (R1's) left leg. (R1) did not have any paperwork on (R1) and when we called out for (R1's) name, (R1) could not respond or even help get himself in for the exam. Then, around 5:00 pm, the transport company called and told us that they were going to be late picking (R1) up, and at this point everyone had left the office and no one was in the building, so I had to stay with (R1) until they came to pick (R1) up. (R1) would have sat in our office for a couple hours with no supervision, had I not been there to help. I was worried something bad was going to happen to him. On 4/12/24 at 9:08 am, V6 (Registered Nurse) stated, (V7) forgets appointments a lot of times and when (V7) could not go to the 3/25/24 appointment with (R1), I called the Doctor's office and they told us to still send (R1). We did not even think about having someone go with (R1). On 4/12/24 at 8:50 am, V3 (Assistant Director of Nursing) stated, (R1) had an Orthopedic Doctor's appointment on 3/25/24 and (V7/R1's Nephew/Guardian) had told us that he was unable to go with (R1) to that appointment. So we called the Doctor's office and they told us to send (R1) anyway. Looking back we probably should have not sent (R1) alone. We normally send a Shift Coordinator or another staff member to Doctor appointments with Resident's that need assistance, that do not have a family member available to go with them. On 4/12/24 at 9:58 am, V1 (Administrator) stated, Once we found out (V7/R1's Nephew/Guardian) was not able to go that appointment, we should have probably sent one of our staff members to go with (R1). We normally will send staff to Doctor's appointments for the Residents that need supervision for safety, that are like (R1) that are non-verbal and cannot perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL's). I have plenty of staff available to go on appointments, especially knowing that (V7) missed a lot of (R1's) other appointments, we should have made different plans to have someone go with (R1).

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident's room was set up for ease of moving around the room, getting in and out of the bathroom, and for finding frequently used items for one resident (R9) of 18 reviewed for environment in a sample of 33. Findings include: The facility's Residents' Rights for People in Long-term Care Facilities, undated, states You have the right to .participate in your own care .Your facility must make reasonable arrangements to meet your needs and choices. R9's current Care plan includes the following: R9 is blind, has a suprapubic catheter, bilateral nephrostomy tubes, bowel incontinence (wears brief), and staff are to ensure items are to be within R9's reach . On 9-28-22, at 10:07am, R9 sat in a wheelchair in R9's room. R9's bathroom door is currently held open by the wall light switch. A high-back reclining wheelchair is parked at the foot of the other (empty) bed in the room by the window. R9 stated I am totally blind and can't see light from dark. I have been blind since age six. On 9-28-22, between 10:15am and 10:45am, R9 stated the following: I wish my bathroom door would stay open. The light switch is what keeps it open. I've asked different people to get a door stop and nothing happens. I talked to maintenance yesterday and he said he'd look into it. I use the bathroom to put my teeth in, wash up. I've gotten caught with the door going in and it makes it difficult to get out and I have to fight the door. It is frustrating. R9 confirmed that R9 does not need the bathroom for toileting so privacy is not needed. I would prefer the door to stay open. R9 continued to state I wish they would get that other wheelchair out of here (my room). It is usually kept in my bathroom and in my way. It gets moved .I've gotten tangled up in the chair moving over there to get to the call light on the other side of my bed. On 9-28-22, at 2:05pm, V9 Certified Nursing Assistant/CNA confirmed that R9's high-back wheelchair was in R9's room over by the window and stated It is supposed to be placed neatly in (R9's) room. At times it is in (R9's) bathroom; (R9) will use the bathroom to put his dentures in or take them out and to wash his hands. On 9-29-22, at 8:50am, V5 Maintenance Director stated the following: (V5) is unaware of (R9) wanting (R9's) door kept open and (R9) did not speak to (V5) about that. All of the bathroom doors are on spring hinges and automatically close. They don't stay open unless blocked open, but then it is a privacy issue .I could just take the pin out of the hinge and would gladly remove it. At this time V5 looked for and didn't find any work orders. V5 verified that R9's door was currently propped open using the light switch. On 9-29-22, at 9:05am, V8 CNA stated We set (R9) up to clean his dentures and (R9) uses the bathroom to wash (R9's) hands. (R9) needs it (the bathroom door) open. We use the light switch to hold it open. I have told maintenance and so has (R9) .I did not put a work order in. On 9-29-22, at 9:30am, V4 Social Service Director/SSD stated that (R9) has not mentioned wanting (R9's) bathroom door always open, but that makes sense. (R9) likes to brush his teeth and is very independent. On 9-30-22, at 09:05am, R9 was self-propelling R9's wheelchair from the dining room to R9's room using the wall railing with R9's left hand to guide him. R9 came to a stop when R9 bumped into a mechanical lift that was parked along the same side of the hall where R9's room is located. V10 CNA called out for R9 to stop. V10 CNA stated that R9 usually will self-propel to R9's room .the (mechanical lift) is supposed to be on the other side of the hall. On 9-30-22, at 9:15am, R9 self-propelled over to the large garbage can by R9's door to the hall and emptied R9's razor out. Then R9 self-propelled to the far side of R9's bed and turned on the call light. R9 bumped into, then picked up a small waste can sitting in front of R9's bedside table, dragged it over to the other side of (R9's) bed, bumping into the foot of (R9's) bed several times while trying to maneuver around it. V10 CNA entered R9's room, asked what R9 needed, and asked R9 why he moved R9's waste can. R9 told V10 that R9 wanted to get in bed. R9 stated R9 didn't know why the waste can got moved over by the dresser and that it is supposed to be over here. On 9-30-22, at 9:30am, after putting R9 to bed, V10 CNA turned out (R9's) lights (per R9's request,) closed the bathroom door and left the room. V10 stated that when (R9) is out of bed they will open the door back up. V10 stated that R9 will go in and out of the bathroom to wash his hands and face so the bathroom door should be open. On 9-30-22, at 9:40am, R9 stated that R9 uses the small waste can to empty his razor in. I found it (the waste can) over by the dresser when I was looking for something else. When they move things in my room then it is lost to me. On 9-30-22, at 10:07am, V2 Director of Nursing/DON stated the following: (R9) can self-propel from the dining room to (R9's) room. (R9) may have to have help if (R9) gets too tired. We have to assist (R9) with knowing where things are. We don't like to move things so (R9) knows where they're at. V2 agrees that R9 wants to be more independent. Normally the hall is clear. The mechanical lift should not be on (R9's) side, it should be on the opposite side of the hall. (R9's) wheelchair is usually kept in the shower in (R9's) bathroom and out of (R9's) way. I'm not sure why it is at the end of the other bed. (R9) uses (R9's) bathroom; staff set (R9) up. (R9) doesn't need privacy since (R9's) not toileted. V2 agreed that R9 needs easier access to getting in/out of R9's bathroom and that it is not currently a good set up. We are looking into it.
