Overview

BridgePointe Health Campus in Vincennes, Indiana has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating that it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. The facility ranks #15 out of 505 nursing homes in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and it is the best option among 6 facilities in Knox County. The trend is improving, as the number of identified issues decreased from 2 in 2024 to 1 in 2025, and staffing is a strength with a rating of 4/5 stars and a turnover rate of only 32%, compared to the state average of 47%. Notably, the home has not incurred any fines, suggesting strong compliance with regulations. However, there are concerns; residents reported not being invited to care plan conferences, and kitchen sanitation issues were noted, including sticky machines and improperly stored food, which could pose health risks. Overall, while the facility has strong RN coverage and staffing, attention to food safety and resident involvement in care plans needs improvement.

Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure infection control practices were maintained during 1 of 2 observations of care. Staff failed to complete hand hygiene after removing their gloves during care, a resident's oxygen tubing and nasal cannula were allowed to fall to the floor and were repeatedly stepped on during care, and a resident's catheter drainage bag was not kept below the resident's bladder, was clipped to the side of a waste bin, and was resting on the floor. (Resident D) Finding includes: During an observation on 1/3/24 at 10:15 A.M., CNA 4 and CNA 5 were performing incontinence care for Resident D. Resident D was receiving supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula with oxygen tubing extending from the resident to the oxygen concentrator located on the floor near the resident's bed. While providing care, staff removed Resident D's supplemental oxygen and allowed the nasal cannula and tubing to fall to the floor next to the resident's bed. Throughout the incontinence care, CNA 5 stood on and stepped on the resident's oxygen tubing. Resident D also had a urinary catheter with a catheter drainage bag clipped to the side of his bed. CNA 4 provided catheter care and perineal care to Resident D, then assisted the resident to turn towards CNA 5 to remove a small amount of BM (bowel movement) from the resident's buttocks. Following care, both CNA 4 and CNA 5 removed their gloves and did not perform hand hygiene. CNA 4 briefly exited the resident's room to retrieve a Hoyer lift from the hallway just outside Resident D's room. CNA 4 proceeded to lift Resident D from his bed while the catheter drainage bag was given to Resident D to hold during the transfer to his recliner. While hanging in the Hoyer lift, Resident D's hands were in front of his face and holding on to the drainage bag, positioned above the resident's bladder. As CNA 4 lowered Resident D into his recliner, CNA 5 placed her hand on Resident D's forehead. Staff then clipped Resident D's catheter drainage bag to the side of a waste bin located next to the recliner. Staff then reinserted the resident's nasal cannula without cleaning the cannula or wiping the tubing. During an interview on 1/3/24 at 11:00 A.M., QMA 8 indicated that resident's nasal cannula and oxygen tubing should be wrapped up and placed in bag on a table or night stand when not in use. QMA 8 indicated catheter drainage bags should stay below the level of the bladder and should not be resting on the floor, and that staff should perform hand hygiene prior to donning gloves and after removing gloves.

During an interview on 12/1/22 at 2:35 P.M., RN (Registered Nurse) 2 indicated nursing staff were to set the oxygen machine to the proper LPM and Resident 59 doesn't adjust it. She further indicated the LPM was checked multiple times daily. At that time, RN 2 went into Resident 59's room and indicated the dial on the oxygen machine was on 2 LPM and it should have been at 3 LPM. A current Administration of Oxygen policy, reviewed 12/1/21, provided by the DON (Director of Nursing) on 12/5/22 at 10:22 A.M., lacked information about documenting the level of oxygen the resident receives in the TAR, but indicated guidelines to properly administer oxygen . verify physician's order for the procedure .oxygen setting must be set and adjusted by a licensed nurse . adjust the oxygen delivery device so that it is comfortable for the resident and the proper flow of oxygen is administered On 12/5/22 at 10:45 A.M., the Regional Consultant indicated it was their policy to follow doctor orders as written. 3.1-50(a)(2)
