Overview

Harvest Manor Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about care quality. Ranking #210 out of 264 facilities in Louisiana places it in the bottom half, and it ranks #2 out of 2 in Livingston County, meaning there is only one local option that is better. The facility's trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 4 in 2024 to 7 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength with a turnover rate of 0%, which is well below the state average, but the facility has concerning RN coverage, falling short of 81% of Louisiana facilities. There have been serious incidents reported, including a resident experiencing physical abuse from another resident, which was not adequately addressed by staff, resulting in multiple abuse occurrences. Additionally, critical supervision failures allowed a cognitively impaired resident to act aggressively towards others, highlighting a lack of adequate monitoring. While the low staff turnover is a positive aspect, the facility's overall safety and quality of care present significant red flags for families considering this nursing home.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure each resident remained free from physical and psychosocial abuse for 7 (#R1, #1, #3, #5, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2) of 9 (#R1, #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2) residents reviewed for abuse. This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation on 02/22/2025, when Resident #4, a cognitively impaired resident, hit Resident #R1 on the back. The facility failed to ensure effective interventions were put into place to protect the resident's from abuse after the 02/22/2025 incident. Resident #4 exhibited continued aggressive and abusive behaviors, and was transferred to the facility's locked dementia care unit on 03/25/2025. On 03/25/2025, Resident #4 was observed grabbing Unknown Resident #1 by the feet and attempting to pull the resident out of their wheelchair. The resident was observed by a former employee to be fearful, displaying physical and verbal signs of stress. Unknown Resident #1 was scared, crying, and kept doing a swatting motion with her hands. The IJ continued on 04/17/2025, when Resident #4 interlocked her arms around Resident #3's throat then began pulling back, choking her. The IJ continued on 05/20/2025, when Resident #4 pushed Resident #5, causing Resident #5 to fall to the floor. Resident #4 then hit Resident #5 in her face. Resident #5 complained of hip pain after the incident. Resident #5's family requested Resident #5 be moved out of the locked dementia care unit for safety, which resulted in Resident #5 crying for days. The IJ continued on 05/26/2025, when Resident #4 grabbed Unknown Resident #2's hair, pulled it, and would not let go. On 05/26/2025, Resident #4 was placed on 1:1 supervision then removed from 1:1 supervision on 06/09/2025. On 06/09/2025, Resident #4 pushed Resident #6 into the wall, causing Resident #6 to hit her head against the wall. Resident #6 complained of a headache after the incident and required administration of Tylenol for pain management. Resident #4 was placed back on continuous 1:1 supervision on 06/09/2025. On 06/16/2025, Resident #1 was found in a resident's room lying on her left side in a fetal position. Resident #4 was observed standing on the right side of Resident #1's wheelchair with Resident #1's wheelchair pad in her hand, and no staff present with Resident #4. Resident #1 was noted to have swelling to the left side of her face and right knee. Resident #1 was transferred to the hospital where it was determined she had a right femur fracture and a left facial hematoma. Due to Resident #1's age, she was unable to undergo surgery and was ultimately transferred to an inpatient hospice facility where she passed away on 06/25/2025. On 07/09/2025 at 5:30 a.m., an observation was made of Resident #4. She was lying in her bed with no staff present at bedside. As a result of the investigation, despite there not being a significant decline in mental or physical functioning for Residents #R1, #3, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2, it could be determined a reasonable person would have experienced psychosocial harm as a result of Resident #4's abusive behaviors since a reasonable person would not expect to be treated in this manner in their own home or a health care facility.

The facility failed to:1. Protect Resident's #R1, #1, #3, #5, #6, Unknown Resident #1, and Unknown Resident #2 from physical and psychosocial abuse by Resident #4;2. Report allegations of physical and psychosocial abuse by Resident #4 to the State Agency in the required timeframe; and3. Ensure Resident #4 received consistent adequate staff supervision to manage the resident's known verbally and physically abusive behaviors.This deficient practice resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy situation on 02/22/2025, when Resident #4, a cognitively impaired resident, hit Resident #R1. Resident #4 exhibited continued aggressive and abusive behaviors, and was transferred to the facility's locked dementia care unit on 03/25/2025. On 03/25/2025, Resident #4 was observed grabbing Unknown Resident #1 by the feet and attempting to pull the resident out of their wheelchair. Unknown Resident #1 was observed by a former employee to be fearful, displaying physical and verbal signs of stress, including crying and repeatedly making a swatting motion with her hands. The IJ continued on 04/17/2025, when Resident #4 interlocked her arms around Resident #3's throat then began pulling back, choking her. The IJ continued on 05/20/2025, when Resident #4 pushed Resident #5, causing Resident #5 to fall to the floor. Resident #4 then hit Resident #5 in her face. Resident #5 complained of hip pain after the incident. Resident #5's family requested Resident #5 be moved out of the locked dementia care unit for safety, which resulted in Resident #5 crying for days. The IJ continued on 05/26/2025, when Resident #4 grabbed Unknown Resident #2's hair, pulled it, and would not let go. On 05/26/2025, Resident #4 was placed on 1:1 supervision until 06/09/2025.

On 04/17/2025 9:49 p.m. -Resident #4 exhibited verbal and physical aggression this shift. Resident #4 was pushing Resident #1 down the hall and Resident #1 was asking Resident #4 to stop. Staff asked Resident #4 not to push Resident #1 as she didn't want to be pushed and Resident #4 became verbally aggressive and threatening toward staff. As I attempted to administer medication to Resident #1, Resident #4 reached out and grabbed the medication which was crushed in pudding. She then laughed and went to the sink to wash her hands. I went off the unit to report the incident to the administrator. Upon returning to the unit, Resident #4 was noted yelling and sitting on top of Resident #1 while aggressively squeezing her hands and pushing them down where they were also crushed between the sides of the resident's legs and the arm rest of her wheelchair. Resident #4 was verbally and physically aggressive with staff as they tried to convince her to get off of Resident #1. I called for the administrator to come assist us. When S1ADM arrived, Resident #4 stood up and continued being verbally aggressive while she walked over to Resident #3. Resident #4 leaned down and spoke aggressively to Resident #3 and when Resident #3 started to speak, Resident #4 began attacking her. Resident #4 was noted standing behind Resident #3 using both hands balled into fists and striking her repeatedly in the head. When staff turned to intervene, Resident #4 leaned over the resident and wrapped both arms around Resident #3's neck squeezing it. As staff attempted to remove Resident #3 from Resident #4's clutch, Resident #4 attempted to stop us from moving Resident #3 and had her hands around the resident's neck. Resident #4 began slapping and grabbing at Resident #3's face. We were finally able to block Resident #4 from Resident #3 and Resident #4 walked away to Resident #1. Resident #4 attempted to push Resident #1 in her wheelchair but staff were able to stand in front of the wheelchair and hold it still. Resident #4 then began pulling on the trunk support contraption and tearing the protective foam padding off of it. Resident #4 continued to try to get Resident #1's wheelchair away from staff but became more frustrated and began pushing tables around the dining area. Resident #4 walked around to the other side of the dining room in order to pull a table out of the way so she would have access to the back of Resident #1's wheelchair. Once behind the wheelchair, she made more attempts to pull the chair from the grasp of staff. When she was unable to, she grabbed the high back wheelchair handles while putting her foot on the rear tippers and pulled aggressively to tip the wheelchair backwards. Two staff members remained in place holding Resident #1's wheelchair so it could not be tipped. Resident #4 finally walked away, remaining quite agitated.

S4CNA and S5CNA continued to provide care to Resident #1 and other residents in the facility until S1ADM was notified of an allegation of abuse on 02/04/2025. It could be determined a reasonable person would suffer serious psychosocial harm after being repeatedly verbally abused by staff who the resident was dependent upon to provide care. The facility implemented corrective actions on 02/04/2025, which were completed on 02/21/2025 prior to the State Agency's investigation on 02/24/2025, thus it was determined to be a Past Noncompliance citation.

S5CNA pulled the covers off Resident #1 aggressively and walked toward the room entrance doorway yelling in the hallway loudly, Y'all, she took her pants off again!

You aint gonna do that on me! Resident #1 stood in front of the entrance to the bathroom and S4CNA yelled in a demanding tone, Sit down, put your shoes on! Resident #1 sat back on her bed and attempted to lay down. S4CNA tells her in an irritated voice, not uh (indicating no), put your shoes on. Got sh*t on all this!

She stated there were 5 residents that required changing every two hours and were always fully saturated during rounds every 2 hours. She did not have enough briefs to change those 5 residents every two hours. She confirmed she had to make briefs last longer than just the 2 hour rounding because she would not have enough. She stated she would alternate changing the briefs and only actually remove the brief to apply a new one every four hours and would use blue pads underneath the residents, leave the brief unfastened to allow airflow for better skin protection and to allow the brief to absorb the moisture once the brief was fully saturated.

He stated nurses at the facility told him his pain medication could have been given an hour before or an hour after the scheduled time. He stated there were times he went 5 to 6 hours without pain medication, which caused him to experience severe pain. An interview was conducted on 05/26/2022 at 10:00 a.m. with S8LPN. She stated she did not think it would be therapeutic if Resident #144 received pain medication an hour early for one dose and an hour late for the next.

Based on record review, interview, and observation, the facility failed to have sufficient licensed nursing staff and certified nursing assistant staff to provide nursing and related services to maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident based on the facility assessment. The deficiency had the potential to affect the facility's total census of 166 residents. Findings: Review of the facility's policy titled Facility Assessment Policy revealed, in part, the following: Purpose: The purpose of the assessment is to determine what resources are necessary to care for residents competently during both day-to-day operations and emergencies. Use this assessment to make decisions about your direct care staff needs, as well as your capabilities to provide services to the residents in your facility. The intent of the facility assessment is for the facility to evaluate its resident population and identify the resources needed to provide the necessary person-centered care and service the resident require. Overview of the Assessment Tool: 3. Facility resources needed to provide competent care for residents, including staff, staffing plan, staff training/education and competencies, education and training, physical environment and building needs and other resources, including agreements with third parties, health information technology resources and systems, a facility-based and community-based risk assessment, and other information that you may choose. Guidelines for Conducting the Assessment: 2. While the facility may include input from its corporate organization, the facility assessment must be conducted at the facility level. 4. The facility assessment should serve as a record for staff and management to understand the reasoning for decisions made regarding staffing and other resources, and may include the operating budget necessary to carry out facility functions. Review of the facility's Facility Assessment, updated on 01/25/2022, revealed, in part, the following: Part 1: Our Resident Profile Number of residents licensed to provide care for: 171 Average daily census: 164.7 Part 3.2: Staffing Plan - Total Number of Staff Needed for 24 hours: Licensed Nurses providing Direct Care: 15 Nurse Aides providing Direct Care: 38 Ratio: Licensed Nurses providing Direct Care: 10.98:1 Nurse Aides Providing Direct Care: 4.34:1 Review of the facility's Staffing Pattern revealed, in part, the following: 04/01/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 6-LPN, 13-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 04/02/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 6-LPN, 13-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 5-CNA 04/03/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 6-LPN, 13-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 04/08/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 04/09/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 04/10/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 04/15/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 5-CNA 04/16/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 7-LPN, 11-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 04/17/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 04/18/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 6-LPN, 13-CNA 04/20/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 4-LPN, 5-CNA 04/22/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 04/24/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 04/29/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 04/30/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 05/01/2022 Staff assigned: Day shift- 6-LPN, 12-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 05/02/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 6-LPN, 13-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 05/05/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 05/07/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 05/08/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 6-LPN, 13-CNA 05/09/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 05/10/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 05/14/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA 05/15/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 05/17/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 05/20/2022 Staff assigned: Night shift- 3-LPN, 6-CNA 05/21/2022 Staff assigned: Evening shift- 6-LPN, 13-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 5-CNA 05/22/2022 Staff assigned: Day shift- 6-LPN, 14-CNA; Night shift- 3-LPN, 7-CNA On 05/25/2022 at 01:40 p.m., an interview was conducted with S1ADM who confirmed their corporate office had identified the following staffing ratios for floor staff based on the current Facility Assessment: Day shift: 6-LPN, 16-CNA, Evening shift: 6-LPN, 14-CNA, and Night Shift: 3-LPN, 8-CNA. On 05/23/2022 at 2:27 p.m., Resident #74 confirmed the facility barely had anyone to work her hall at night and on the weekends. She stated there was only so much the CNAs working then could do because they were only one person. She confirmed this meant some areas of her care would be delayed until day shift when there were more staff. On 05/26/2022 at 12:53 a.m., S20LPN confirmed the current facility census was 166. She also confirmed there was no charge nurse on duty for this shift. She further confirmed there were only 3 LPNs and 10 CNAs present in the building and they were all performing the role of direct care on the floor. She stated 2 of the night CNAs called in so assignments had been divided between the other CNAs as they usually do when call ins occur. The information provided was used to confirm each of the 13 persons were physically present and working in the building at this time. On 05/26/2022 at 1:00 a.m., an observation was made on Hall E with no staff visible. On 05/26/2022 at 01:05 a.m., S19LPN confirmed staffing typically consists of one CNA per hall. On 05/26/2022 at 1:32 a.m., an interview was conducted with S18LPN who confirmed the facility did not utilize a Charge Nurse during the night shift. On 05/26/2022 at 2:15 a.m., the census was confirmed to be 166 and a copy of the facility's staffing assignment sheet for this shift was obtained from and confirmed to be accurate by S1ADM. On 5/25/2022, a confidential interview revealed the night and weekend shifts do not always have enough staff and they were aware of instances in which a CNA would have to care for more than one hall when there was not enough staff in the building. On 05/26/2022, a confidential interview revealed staff member was the only CNA assigned to the hall that night and was responsible for 29 residents. They stated one CNA per hall had become pretty much standard since the end of March 2022 and confirmed a second CNA was rarely assigned to the hall. They confirmed this made the job nearly impossible and frequently unsafe because so many residents were total care and/or incontinent, were large and/or heavy so they required a two person assist and many were heavy wetters that required changing frequently. They confirmed obtaining assistance from nurses was often difficult which meant prolonged periods of the resident waiting to receive care until another CNA became available. They also confirmed they had voiced concerns to the supervisor but was told to just do the job and be quiet if you want to keep your job. On 05/26/2022, a confidential interview revealed most times there was one CNA at night on a hall and they had to wait for someone to be available from another hall or a nurse if they needed assistance. On 05/26/2022, a confidential interview confirmed this CNA was typically the only CNA assigned to work the hall and had currently walked over to another hall to answer a call light that had been going off. On 05/26/2022, a confidential interview confirmed there was typically only one CNA at best assigned to the hall plus they frequently ended up caring for their assigned hall plus splitting residents on another hall when there weren't enough CNAs. They confirmed there was roughly 30 residents on the hall, 21 of which were incontinent and required total care. They also confirmed the lack of staff impacted the level and quality of care they were able to provide their residents and at times made it impossible to complete all the necessary tasks. On 05/26/2022, a confidential interview revealed it was a rare occurrence to have two CNAs per hall during the night shift and they frequently had to also split another hall due to a lack of CNAs. They confirmed the lack of CNAs made it very difficult, if not impossible, to consistently provide a level of care their residents required and deserved. On 05/26/2022, a confidential interview revealed typically there was one CNA at night per hall and they would have to call another hall or a nurse then wait for them to become available when assistance was required. On 05/26/2022, a confidential interview revealed CNA staffing usually consisted of only one CNA per hall which made it hard to complete all of their required tasks and care. On 05/26/2022 at 3:15 p.m., S1ADM confirmed the accuracy of the Staffing Patterns, dated 04/01/2022 through 05/25/2022. He also confirmed the Facility Assessment and the staffing ratios he had provided during a previous interview were accurate and what the facility should be using for daily operation and planning.
