Overview

Prairie Village Nursing and Rehabilitation has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for families, though not among the very best. It ranks #281 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the bottom half, but it is the second-best option out of five in Daviess County. The facility's condition has remained stable, with seven issues identified in both 2024 and 2025. Staffing is a concern, rated at 2 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate is good at 21%, significantly lower than the state average. Notably, there were no fines on record, which is a positive indicator. However, there have been specific issues, such as a lack of RN coverage for eight hours on one day and failure to conduct required care plan conferences, which could impact the quality of resident care. Additionally, hot water temperatures exceeded safe levels in some resident areas, presenting a potential safety risk. Overall, while there are strengths, families should be aware of the weaknesses in staffing and safety practices.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure each resident was free from unnecessary medications for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. A Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) was not attempted as required for a hypnotic medication. (Resident 24) Finding includes: On 5/7/25 at 1:34 P.M., Resident 24's clinical record was reviewed. Diagnoses included, but were not limited to, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and Bipolar disorder. The most recent Quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, dated 2/25/25, indicated a moderate cognitive impairment. Resident 24 had received a hypnotic medication. Current physician orders included, but were not limited to: Ambien (zolpidem) (a hypnotic) 5 mg (milligrams) at bedtime, dated 12/12/24. The order had originally been dated 10/13/23 - 12/12/24. A current risk for adverse side effects related to use of psychotropic medication care plan, dated 2/20/19 and last revised 5/6/25, indicated use of a hypnotic for a diagnosis of insomnia. Interventions included, but were not limited to, Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) to review routinely to attempt gradual dose reductions, unless contraindicated, dated 12/12/24. A pharmacy consultation report, dated 6/4/24, indicated Resident 24 had received Ambien for insomnia since 11/11/22 and was reduced at that time. The recommendation at that time was for a GDR of a different medication and to Continue with other medications as currently ordered as it is not recommended to attempt reduction on more than one psychotropic at a time. The Nurse Practitioner (NP) indicated a clinical contraindication to the GDR attempt (for the other medication recommended), dated 6/11/24.

On 5/9/25 at 2:46 P.M., the Regional Consultant indicated the only information related to a GDR of Ambien had already been provided, and was unable to provide a contraindication to a GDR at that time. She indicated a GDR may not have been completed for the Ambien due to the resident being on so many different psychotropic medications. On 5/12/25 at 11:17 A.M., a current Pyschotropic Management Policy, last revised September 2024, was provided by the Director of Nursing (DON) and indicated, . Periodic re-evaluation of the medication regimen is necessary to determine whether continued use of a medication is indicated. Prescribers will evaluate the efficacy and risks for psychotropic medications and document their assessment in the medical record The pharmacist will evaluate psychotropic medication as part of the monthly medication regimen review. Psychotropic medications may be considered regularly for potential GDR including during monthly pharmacy reviews, during behavioral health services visits, and when the IDT is evaluating behavioral expressions. The frequency and schedule of GDRs will meet current standards of practice and be based on person centered risk factors and underlying conditions . all rationale must be documented in the medical record . 3.1-48(b)(2)

During an interview on 10/20/22 at 12:45 P.M., CNA 7 indicated staff was supposed to check dependent residents for incontinence every 2 (two) to 3 (three) hours, and change them as needed after meals when resident's were assisted to bed. She further indicated if residents were visibly wet, they were supposed to be changed right away. CNA 7 then indicated the urine odor in Resident B's room was from the chair that he continuously sat in, as the urine seeped from his incontinence brief into the chair. 2.

Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure that a resident received an accurate and thorough testing of blood glucose. Glucometer controls were not ran on a new glucometer before use as specified in the manufacturer's package insert for 1 of 1 residents observed for glucometer testing. The facility lacked a policy related to glucometer controls. (Resident 25) Finding includes: On 10/17/22 at 12:00 P.M., RN (Registered Nurse) 15 was observed to open a box containing a new glucometer. RN 15 took the new glucometer, test strip, and a lancet into Resident 25's room and proceeded to wipe the resident's right middle finger with an alcohol pad. RN 15 obtained a blood sample which was placed on the test strip in the new glucometer. The blood sugar reading was 209. Documentation in the clinical record after reading was obtained read as 230. On 10/18/22 at 2:00 P.M., Resident 25's clinical record was reviewed. Resident 25's diagnosis included, but was not limited to, diabetes mellitus type II. The most recent admission MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessment, dated 8/25/22, indicated the resident's cognition status was unable to be assessed. On 10/18/22 at 2:11 P.M., the manufacturer's package insert for the glucometer used was provided and indicated the purpose of the control solution testing was to validate that the glucometer was working properly with the test strips. It further indicated controls should have been performed when using the meter for the first time. During an interview on 10/18/22 at 2:00 P.M., the DON (Director of Nursing) indicated controls should be ran before a new glucometer was used to check the resident's blood sugar. During an interview on 10/19/22 at 2:44 P.M., the DON indicated there was not a policy for running controls on a new glucometer, but it was the facility policy to run them when opening a new glucometer. 3.1-25(e)(1)
