Overview

St. Charles Health Campus in Jasper, Indiana, has received a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for families looking for care, as it ranks in the top half of Indiana facilities at #190 out of 505 and #3 out of 7 in Dubois County. The facility is trending positively, having reduced issues from 4 in 2024 to just 1 in 2025, which is encouraging. Staffing is a strong point, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 39%, lower than the state average, suggesting that staff are stable and familiar with residents' needs. Additionally, more RN coverage than 95% of Indiana facilities is a strength, as RNs can identify issues that CNAs might overlook. However, there are some concerns, including a serious incident where a resident developed a severe pressure ulcer due to inadequate care, and issues with maintaining cleanliness in resident areas, indicating that while there are strengths, families should be aware of some care deficiencies.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure services were provided to prevent the development of pressure ulcers for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for pressure ulcers. The facility failed to obtain adequate physician orders or instructions following the removal of a non-removable brace, which resulted in the development of an unstageable pressure ulcer to the left heel (Wound 2). Following an assessment by a wound care clinic that indicated a newly developed unstageable pressure ulcer to the top of the left foot (Wound 3), the facility failed to assess the wound routinely or create a plan of care to address the wound. (According to the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel [NPIAP], an unstageable pressure ulcer is defined as: wound is obscured by slough or eschar which makes depth and extent of tissue damage unable to be determined.) This deficient practice resulted in the facility failing to prevent and assess developed pressure wounds and failing to update the residents' plan of care for pressure wounds. (Resident D) Findings include: During record review on 2/3/25 at 10:30 A.M., Resident D's diagnoses included, but were not limited to fracture of left tibia, Alzheimer's disease, dementia and anxiety. Resident D's most recent admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 8/15/24, indicated the resident was admitted to the facility with one unhealed unstageable pressure ulcer (Wound 1), was at risk for developing pressure ulcers, and had severe cognitive impairment. A Braden scale assessment (tool used to predict the risk for developing pressure ulcers), completed 8/12/24, indicated Resident D was at moderate risk for developing pressure ulcers. Resident D's physician orders included, but were not limited to, non-weight bearing to left lower extremity (started 8/12/24), apply foam dressing to deep tissue injury to left great toe (Wound 1) (started 8/1/2/25), observe non-removable dressing to left lower extremity for drainage on dressing and for dislodgement, leave splint in place, do not remove, call orthopedic physician if the brace gets wet (started 8/12/25), cleanse left heel wound (Wound 2), cover with heel foam dressing, cast padding from toes to just below knee, ace wrap from toes to knee, apply heel lift boot (started 8/27/25), cover wound on heel (Wound 2), left great toe (Wound 1), and top of left foot (Wound 3) with bordered foam-wrap, change dressing every other day and assess wounds (started 9/5/25). Resident D's care plan included, but was not limited to, resident has a pressure ulcer to the left great toe (Wound 1) upon admission (initiated 8/14/24) and left heel (Wound 2) (revised 8/29/25).

During an interview on 4/25/25 at 9:30 A.M., PA 4 indicated having observed Resident D on 8/26/24 during a two week post operative appointment. PA 4 indicated a non-removable splint was applied in the orthopedic physician's office following the Resident's surgical procedure. PA 4 indicated the resident's left foot was wrapped with a padded dressing and a hard splint was applied over the padding. When Resident D arrived for the appointment on 8/26/24, the splint had been applied incorrectly with the padded dressing wrapped around the outside of the hard splint and had resulted in a pressure area to the left heel (Wound 2). PA 4 indicated he was unaware of any notification from the facility regarding Resident D removing the splint and dressing prior to her appointment on 8/26/24. During an interview on 4/25/25 at 10:05 A.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated the wound on top of Resident D's left foot (Wound 3) was assessed on 9/11/24 at the facility as a scabbed area and not a pressure ulcer, therefore the wound was not entered into a wound management program that would have initiated routine wound assessments. During an interview on 4/25/25 at 11:00 A.M., the DON indicated that the orthopedic physician's office did not respond to the notification attempt documented on 8/16/24, and the facility staff replaced the non-removable splint themselves (prior to the development of the unstageable pressure ulcer to Resident D's left heel (Wound 2). The facility did not reassess the area on top of Resident D's left foot (Wound 3) following the diagnosis of an unstageable pressure ulcer to the area during a wound care clinic visit on 10/22/24. No weekly assessments of that wound were documented. During an interview on 4/25/25 at 12:10 P.M., LPN 8 indicated nursing staff should document when a physician's office is notified and if awaiting reply. Nursing staff should continue to contact the physician's office if a reply is not received and should document all attempts of notification. On 4/25/25 at 1:30 P.M., the DON supplied a facility policy titled, Guidelines for Pressure Prevention, dated 12/17/24. The policy included, Care plan interventions shall be implemented based on risk factors identified in the nursing assessment Inspect the skin daily during care of signs of breakdown or changes to the skin . Utilize padding for casts and splints. Monitor skin closely when these devices are present . This citation relates to complaint IN00457254. 3.1-40(a)(2)

She indicated all staff were actively supervising Resident G and trying to prevent her from getting up on her own well before an intervention was placed to do so. Fall 3 A progress note on 10/19/24 at 4:45 P.M. indicated Resident G was found by the door in her room. Fall was unwitnessed. The resident indicated she crawled to the door. At the time of the fall, the alarm did not sound. An IDT note dated 10/21/24 indicated following the fall on 10/19/24, the new intervention would be for the nurse to verify that alarm was functioning properly each shift.

During an interview on 6/17/24 at 11:27 A.M., RN 14 indicated as needed medications should be in the medication cart. Resident 39 did not have Self Administration of Medication Assessments completed. She was unsure how often residents were reassessed for self administration. At that time, she left the medications at the bedside. On 6/17/24 at 11:47 A.M., RN 14 provided a Self Administration of Medication Assessment, dated 7/27/23 for Asmanex inhaler, which was discontinued on 8/30/23. No other Self Administration of Medication Assessments were provided. During an interview on 6/18/24 at 10:03 A.M., Resident 39 indicated she used the inhalers she had in her room. 2. On 6/13/24 at 10:04 A.M., one albuterol sulfate and one Ventolin hand held inhaler, one Flonase nasal spray bottle, and one bottle of Tums were observed lying on Resident 12's bedside table. On 6/17/24 at 10:58 A.M., one albuterol sulfate inhaler and one bottle of Flonase nasal spray was observed lying on Resident 12's bedside table. On 6/14/24 at 2:12 P.M., Resident 12's clinical record was reviewed. The diagnoses included, but were not limited to, pulmonary fibrosis, allergies, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) without esophagitis. The most recent Quarterly MDS assessment, dated 4/7/24 indicated Resident 12 was cognitively intact. Current Physician's Orders included, but were not limited to, the following: Flonase Allergy Relief (fluticasone) 50 micrograms (mcg), 2 sprays to both nostrils once daily, ordered 11/10/16 Ventolin (albuterol sulfate) HFA aerosol inhaler; 90 mcg, 2 puffs as needed for cough/wheeze every 4 hours, ordered 4/19/23 The current Physician's Orders lacked an order for Tums and the self administration of medications.

Resident 12's clinical record lacked a care plan for self administration of medications and which medications were to be self administrated. A Self Administration of Medication form, dated 1/1/23, indicated the resident could not properly dispense eye drops, inhalers, nebulizers, nasal sprays, etc, that the self administered medications should be stored in the nursing medication cart, and did not indicate which medications the resident could self administer. During an interview on 6/14/24 at 12:51 P.M., Resident 12 indicated she used the inhalers, nasal spray, and Tums on her bedside table when she needed them. The inhalers were used every 4 hours or so and she did not get help from staff and did not tell staff when she used them. During an interview on 6/17/24 at 11:03 A.M., Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 12 indicated she thought Resident 12 self administered eye drops and nasal spray. She indicated that the Social Services Director (SSD) did assessments on residents every 90 days and the Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) had to be high, like 15 or above and if the BIMS changed she was to let the nurses know. At that time, she indicated Resident 12's last assessment was done in January of 2023 for self administering medications. At that time, she indicated there should be care plan for self administration of medications in the resident's clinical record but she was not sure if there had to be a specific order to self administer medications. During an interview on 6/17/24 at 3:04 P.M., the Director of Nursing (DON) indicated the Self Administration Assessment was done by nursing staff initially if the resident wanted to self administer medications, when their cognition status changed, and/or as needed. When the SSD did her quarterly BIMS Assessment, she was to let the nurses, Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), or DON know if something had changed so they could reassess the resident for self administering medications. If the resident's cognition was intact and the medications were PRN (as needed), staff did not keep track of resident's medication use. On 6/18/24 at 8:45 A.M., a current Self Administration of Medications Policy, revised 5/22/18, was provided by the DON and indicated . ensure the safe administration of medication for residents who request to self medicate or when self medication is a part of their plan of care .
