Overview

Mill Pond Health Campus in Greencastle, Indiana has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not exceptional. It ranks #163 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and #3 out of 5 in Putnam County, meaning only one local option ranks higher. Unfortunately, the facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 2 in 2024 to 6 in 2025. Staffing is a concern, rated at 2 out of 5 stars, although the turnover rate is at 38%, which is better than the state average of 47%. There have been no reported fines, which is a positive sign, and they have average RN coverage. However, there are serious issues to consider: one resident suffered a hip fracture due to a poorly assembled bed, and another resident experienced multiple urinary tract infections because catheters were used without clear justification. While the facility does have a good quality measures rating of 5 out of 5, these incidents highlight significant areas for improvement. Overall, families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses carefully.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure a physician order was obtained for a Tubigrip (a tubular bandage that provides support for sprains, strains, swelling, and more) for 1 of 1 resident reviewed for limited range of motion (Resident 32). Findings include: During the initial pool observation, on 2/28/25 at 10:46 a.m., Resident 32 was sitting up in bed eating breakfast and a dressing was noted on the resident's left arm from her hand to up past her elbow. The resident indicated the wrap had been on her left arm for a while because she banged it on the side rail of her bed, and she was unable to use her left arm normally. Resident 32's record was reviewed on 3/3/25 at 10:18 a.m. The profile indicated the resident's diagnosis included, but were not limited to, brain mass (a cancerous or noncancerous mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain), Alzheimer's disease with early onset (when Alzheimer's is diagnosed before the age of [AGE] years old), and edema, unspecified (swelling caused by excess fluid in tissues or body cavities). A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 1/12/25, indicated the resident had moderate cognitive impairment and had functional impairment on one side. A care plan, dated 7/8/24, indicated the resident was at risk for skin breakdown; requires assistance with bed mobility, transfers, and toileting. Interventions included, but were not limited to, left arm geri sleeve (long sleeve to help prevent skin shear) and avoid shearing skin during positioning, transferring, and turning. The care plan lacked an intervention indicating the resident had a Tubigrip on left arm. During an interview with a family member, on 3/3/25 at 1:30 p.m., the family member indicated the dressing had been on the resident's left arm for awhile and she thought it was because of the swelling in her left arm and skin tears. A late entry progress note, dated 12/26/24, indicated Resident 32 had a new skin tear to her left arm and had increased swelling in her arm. Steri strips (thin adhesive bandages that help close wounds) applied to the skin tear. A progress note, dated 1/26/35, indicated Resident 32 had received another skin tear to left forearm during care while turning in bed. Left arm was very edematous and the resident had little movement in the arm. A progress note, dated 2/1/25, indicated Resident 32 had a skin tear to her left upper posterior arm. Resident's arm noted to be very edematous, skin was very frail, and thin due to swelling. Hospice notified and would assess the resident tomorrow. A hospice progress note, dated 2/2/25, indicated Resident 32 had a skin tear to the back of left arm. The resident's record lacked documentation of a physician order for any kind of wrap or dressing/sleeve to resident's left arm. During an interview, on 3/3/25 at 2:21 p.m., the Certified Resident Medication Aide (CRMA) 5 indicated the resident had on a dressing/sleeve due to the skin tears on her left arm. During an interview, on 3/3/25 at 2:22 p.m., Registered Nurse (RN) 6 indicated Resident 32 had skin tears to her left arm and it was swollen, so the dressing/sleeve was used as a preventive measure. During an interview, on 3/4/25 at 9:04 a.m., the Clinical Support Nurse indicated Resident 32 had a Tubigrip on her left arm but was unable to find a physician order for its use. On 3/4/25 at 1:55 p.m., the Clinical Support Nurse provided a document with a revised date of 9/21/17, titled, Physician - Provider Notification Guidelines, and indicated it was the policy currently being used by the facility. The policy indicated, .To ensure the resident's physician or practitioner is aware of all diagnostic testing results or change in condition in a timely manner to evaluate condition for need of provisions of appropriate interventions for care .1. Resident assessments for change in condition suspected injury, event of unknown origin or ordered lab and or other diagnostic tests should be completed in a timely manner 3.1-37

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure that a nebulizer (a small machine that turns liquid medicine into a mist that can be inhaled into the lungs) mask was bagged when not in use for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for respiratory care (Resident 19). Findings include: During the initial observation of Resident 19, on 2/28/25 at 9:41 a.m., the resident's nebulizer mask was observed un-bagged and sitting on her bed side table. During a random observation, on 3/4/25 at 9:41 a.m., the resident's nebulizer mask was observed un-bagged and sitting on her bed side table. During a random observation, on 3/5/25 at 9:18 a.m., the resident's nebulizer mask was observed un-bagged and sitting on her bed side table. At the same time the Clinical Support observed the un-bagged mask. Resident 19's record was reviewed on 3/4/25 at 9:47 a.m. The profile indicated the resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery (a buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the walls of the heart arteries that reduces blood flow) and stage 4 chronic kidney disease (a condition where the kidneys are severely damaged and are not filtering waste well). A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 12/6/24, indicated the resident had no cognitive deficit. The assessment lacked documentation of any shortness of breath (SOB). Review of the resident's care plans lacked documentation of any respiratory concerns, or the use of medications related to respiratory concerns. A physician's order, dated 2/19/25, indicated to administer one 0.5 milligram (mg)-3 mg (2.5 mg base)/3 milliliter (ml) vial of ipratropium-albuterol solution (a medication which works by opening the airways and reducing inflammation in the lungs to help the patient breathe) for nebulization every 4 hours as needed. Review of the February 2025 medication administration record (MAR) indicated the resident had been administered one nebulizer treatment on, 2/20/25 at 2:36 p.m., for congestion.

She had the flu the other week. No SOB was documented, but she had a productive cough (a cough that brings up mucous or phlegm [thick substance secreted by the mucous membranes of the respiratory passages]). Interventions included, but were not limited to, Duonebs (medication that combines ipratropium and albuterol to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) every 4 hours as needed. During an interview, on 3/5/25 at 9:18 a.m., the Clinical Support indicated the resident's nebulizer mask should have been bagged and dated for storage when not in use. On 3/5/25 at 9:40 a.m., the Clinical Support provided a document, with a review date of 12/16/24, titled, Respiratory Equipment, and indicated it was the policy currently being used by the facility.

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to ensure a recommendation made by the Pharmacists was addressed in a timely manner for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications (Resident 22). Findings include: Resident 22's record was reviewed on 2/28/25 at 2:10 p.m. The profile indicated the resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure (conditions that can lead to heart failure that linked to high blood pressure) and stage 5 chronic kidney disease (a condition when the kidneys are severely damaged and have stopped doing their job of filtering waste from the blood). The profile lacked documentation of a diagnosis of hypotension (low blood pressure). A quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 1/26/25, indicated the resident had no cognitive deficit and received dialysis (a treatment that removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly). A care plan, dated 4/17/24, indicated the resident was non-compliant with physician orders, which included, but were not limited to, not taking medications. The care plan lacked documentation of the resident having hypotension. A pharmacy recommendation, dated 4/29/24, indicated to consider adjusting the dose times and hold parameters for the resident's Midodrine (anti-hypotensive medication) 5 milligrams (mg) three times a day (TID). The statement, Leave alone, had been written on the bottom of the document with the date of 5/2/24. The recommendation lacked any physician documentation to justify the statement. During an interview, on 3/3/25 at 1:58 p.m., the Clinical Support indicated she could not find documentation for a rationale for the statement leave alone. A pharmacy recommendation, dated 6/24/24, indicated to avoid giving the evening dose of Midodrine 5 mg TID after evening meal or within 4 hours of bedtime to prevent supine hypertension (HTN-high blood pressure when lying down). The document indicated the task had been completed. Review of the June 24 medication administration record (MAR) indicated the medication had been given between 6:00 p.m., and 10:00 p.m. The MAR lacked documentation of the specific time the medication had been administered. A pharmacy recommendation, dated 7/22/24, indicated to avoid giving evening dose of Midodrine 5 mg TID after evening meal or within 4 hours of bedtime to prevent supine HTN. The document indicated the task had been completed. Review of the July 2024 MAR indicated the evening dosage times had been changed to 4:00 p.m., to 6:00 p.m. During an interview, on 3/3/25 at 2:26 p.m., the Executive Director (ED) indicated the expectation was that pharmacy recommendations would be addressed within the time prior to the next pharmacy medication regimen review date. During an interview, on 3/3/25 at 2:28 p.m., the Clinical Support indicated she was not able to locate a specific policy related to the physician addressing the pharmacy recommendations. The facility would follow the State and Federal regulations. It was expected that all pharmacy recommendations would be addressed timely by the physician and the facility. 3.1-48(a)(4) 3.1-48(a)(6)

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure proper labeling of prepared food, and the facility failed to dispose of expired food for 1 of 2 kitchen observations. This had the potential to affect 50 of 50 residents who received food from the kitchen. Findings include: 1. During an initial kitchen tour with the Business Office Manager (the Dietary Manager was unavailable), on 2/27/25 at 10:27 a.m., a plastic container of prepared chicken salad was observed on a shelf in the walk-in refrigerator. There was no label or use by date on the container of chicken salad. The business office manager was not aware of when the chicken salad was prepared and how long it had been in the walk-in refrigerator. She indicated the chicken salad would have to be discarded since it did not contain a label with a use by date on it. During an interview, on 2/27/25 at 10:30 a.m., Dietary Services Assistant 8 indicated prepared food was good for 4 days and then should be discarded. 2. In the refrigerator, on 2/27/25 at 10:32 a.m., there was a plastic container of prepared poppy seed dressing with a use by date of 2/24/25, container of prepared lemonade with a use by date of 2/24/25, container of prepared apple raspberry juice with a use by date of 2/24/25, container of prepared blue Gatorade with a use by date of 2/24/25, and an opened container of thickened liquid with a use by date of 2/24/25.

Based on record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that a staff member followed the facility abuse policy and cell phone use policy for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for abuse (Resident B). The deficient practice was corrected on 7/5/24, prior to the start of the survey, and was therefore past noncompliance. Finding includes: On 7/24/24 at 9:45 a.m., a review of an Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) Reportable Incident document, dated 6/29/24 at 9:30 p.m., indicated Certified Resident Care Assistant (CRCA) 9 posted a video on a social media platform with an unidentifiable resident in the restroom. The video contained a caption indicating, this woman will be the death of me, and the employee was making a grimacing face while holding up her middle finger. The CRCA was immediately suspended upon the report of the social media video and an investigation began. Review of investigation summary, dated 6/29/24 at 11:00 p.m., indicated that a staff member reported to the ED that a social media video was posted of a resident in the background and CRCA 9 was making hand gestures in the background. The CRCA was suspended on 6/29/24 pending an investigation. On 6/30/24 abuse education was initiated with active staff. On 7/1/24 the resident was identified through an interview with the suspended employee. Resident B was identified as the one in the video. Once an identification of the resident had been made the responsible party and medical doctor was informed. The facility interviewed CRCA 9, and she admitted to violating the facility's abuse policy. The CRCA was terminated from her position at the facility. All residents had a head-to-toe skin assessment completed and residents with a BIMS above 8 were interviewed. Education was provided to all staff. Resident B's record was reviewed on 7/24/24 at 1:23 p.m. The profile indicated the resident's diagnosis included, but were not limited to, depression (a mental state that can affect person's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and sense of well-being), generalized anxiety disorder (severe, ongoing anxiety that interferes with daily activities), and Alzheimer's (a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions). A Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) assessment completed on 5/28/24, indicated the resident had severe cognitive impairment. During an interview, on 7/24/24 at 11:10 a.m., the Dementia Care Director indicated she was aware of the incident that occurred on 6/29/24 on the evening shift, but she was not working that evening. The Dementia Care Director indicated she did not see the social media post that CRCA 9 sent to other co-workers and was surprised to hear that it had occurred. The Dementia Care Director was not aware of the employee having any other disciplinary issues. The Dementia Care Director indicated all staff were educated when hired on cell phone usage and posting on social media. During an interview, on 7/24/24 at 11:15 a.m., the Certified Residential Medication Aide (CRMA) 4 indicated she was made aware of the social media video after the fact. CRCA 9 had not sent her the video and so therefore she had not seen it personally. CRMA 4 indicated she was shocked to hear that it had occurred and was not aware of the staff member ever doing anything like that before. Staff were educated during their onboarding training about cell phone use and what not to post on social media. During an interview, on 7/24/24 at 11:31 a.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant indicated CRCA 9 sent a video on a social media platform to her coworkers which was reported to the Executive Director (ED) on 6/29/24. The resident who was in the video was not identifiable. The CRCA made a poor choice and was terminated for her actions. During an interview, on 7/24/24 at 11:57 a.m., the Social Worker with hospice, indicated Resident B was pleasantly confused and was not usually aware of her surroundings. During an interview, on 7/24/24 at 12:05 p.m., the Director of Health Services (DHS) indicated she was made aware of the social media post from the ED on the same evening it had occurred. CRCA 9 was immediately suspended, pending investigation. The DHS indicated that had not had any other instances with this staff member prior to the post. The social media video was sent to fellow co workers and reported to the ED. During an interview, on 7/24/24 at 1:47 p.m., Social Service Director (SSD) indicated she was aware of the social media video but did not see it personally. Resident B was watched for a few days after the instance, and she had not noticed any psychological changes. SSD indicated the resident was not cognitively intact. Review of an Episodic Event form, dated 7/1/24 indicated CRCA 9 was having a bad day and made a poor choice making a video and posting it on a social media platform. Immediate education was initiated with current staff members and will continue ongoing. The facility will audit compliance by interviewing a total of 3 staff members weekly until they are 100% compliant, then weekly times 4 weeks. Then monthly times 5 months by asking related questioned to the facility abuse policy. Review of the in-service sign-up sheet, dated 6/30/24 and 7/1/24, indicated staff were educated on abuse and cell phone usage. The sign-up sheet contained 92 staff signatures. During an interview, on 7/24/24 at 2:15 p.m., the DHS indicated CRCA 9 was terminated from her position on 7/5/24. On 7/24/24 at 11:35 a.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant provided a document, dated June 2023, titled, Cell Phones, Cameras, and Electronic Devices, and indicated it was the policy currently being used by the facility. The policy indicated, .b. Use of personal cell phones and other electronic devices are strictly prohibited in work areas .c. The unauthorized use of a cell phone, camera or other electronic device to photograph or record any resident and/or his/her personal space, including accommodations and personal care, without the resident's or designated representative's written consent is prohibited On 7/24/24 at 11:35 a.m., the Regional Nurse Consultant provided a document, with a revised date of 8/29/29, titled, Abuse and Neglect Procedural Guidelines, and indicated it was the policy currently being used by the facility. The policy indicated, .l. Social Media - This would include keeping and/or distributing demeaning or humiliating photographs and recordings through social media or multimedia messaging The deficient practice was corrected by 7/5/24 after the facility implemented a systemic plan that included the following actions: head to toe skin assessment of all residents, interviews were conducted on all residents with a BIMS over 8, in-servicing education to staff related to abuse and cell phone usage, and ongoing monitoring by Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI).

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure an opened multi-dose vial of tuberculin (TB) protein derivative solution (a sterile solution containing the growth products or specific substances extracted from the tubercle bacillus and used in the diagnosis of tuberculosis) had documentation of the date the vial was opened for use for 1 of 1 medication storage room reviewed. Finding includes: During an observation tour of the medication storage room, on 1/22/24 at 10:50 a.m., no open date was observed on an opened multi-dose vial of TB protein derivative solution. During an interview, on 1/22/24 at 10:55 a.m., the Assistant Director of Health Services (ADHS) indicated the TB vial would have been used for both residents and staff. The nurse who had opened the TB vial must have just forgotten to put the date opened on the vial.

A resident who enters the campus with an indwelling urinary catheter, or subsequently receives one is assessed for removal of the catheter as soon as possible unless the resident's clinical condition demonstrates that catheterization is necessary .An indwelling catheter is not used unless there is a valid medical justification; An indwelling catheter for which continuing use is not medically justified is discontinued as soon as clinically warranted by the attending physician and/or urologist .A resident with or without a catheter, receives the appropriate care and services to prevent infections to the extent possible .SOP DETAILS: 1. Urinary catheters are deemed medically necessary for the following reasons and must have supporting diagnosis for its use (per the interpretive guidelines): a. Resident has acute urinary retention or bladder outlet obstruction .f. Other conditions as deemed valid by the attending physician and/or urologists with supporting documentation. Examples of Inappropriate Uses of Indwelling Catheters: g. As a substitute for nursing care of the resident with incontinence 2. On 9/28/22 at 9:36 a.m., Resident 19 was observed sitting in a wheelchair by the nurses' station.

Findings include: During an interview, on 9/27/22 at 3:10 p.m., Resident 42 indicated she did not regularly get fresh water. Resident 42's record was reviewed on 9/28/22 at 11:53 a.m. The profile indicated the resident's diagnoses included, but were not limited to, hemiplegia and hemiparesis (muscle weakness or partial paralysis on one side of the body that can affect the arms, legs, and facial muscles) following cerebral infarction (stroke) affecting left non-dominant side. An admission Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], indicated the resident had moderate cognitive deficit and required set-up with eating. During a random observation of the 200 hall, on 9/28/22 at 1:48 p.m., fresh ice water was being passed to all of the residents on the hall. During an observation of Resident 42's room, on 9/28/22 at 2:36 p.m., the resident was not in her room. A Styrofoam cup of ice water was sitting on the resident's bed side table (BST).

At the same time, when asked if she had received fresh water, she indicated she only gets it sometimes. During a random observation of the resident's room, on 9/30/22 at 2:44 p.m. the resident's was not in her room. A Styrofoam cup was observed sitting on the resident's BST. The cup was dated 9/28/22. During an interview, on 9/30/22 at 3:00 p.m., Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) 19 indicated water was supposed to be passed on the night shift. The day shift would pass if they had time to pass to. If a resident requested water during the day shift the staff would get them some fresh water. During an interview, on 9/30/22 at 3:24 PM CNA 13 indicated the CNAs typically would pass water daily. It may have been overlooked the past couple of days due to the State being in the building and them being very busy. Lack of staff would play a small part in this, but it should still be done. During a random observation, on 9/30/22 at 3:28 p.m., Resident 39 and Resident 5 were observed in their room. No water was observed on either of their BSTs. At the same time, Resident 39 indicated no one had passed water to them today and it was hit and miss if the night shift would give them fresh water. Resident 5 indicated she could use a cup of cool water as she was thirsty. During an interview, on 10/03/22 at 2:20 p.m., the Director of Health Services (DHS) indicated she was unsure if there was a facility policy regarding passing of fresh water. The staff were supposed to pass fresh water twice daily. Staff must have just missed passing the water from 9/28/22 until 9/30/22.
