Overview

Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation LLC has a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average performance with some concerning issues. It ranks #41 out of 67 facilities in New Mexico, placing it in the bottom half, and #3 out of 6 in Dona Ana County, meaning there are only two local options that are better. The facility is showing an improving trend, with issues decreasing from 17 in 2024 to 14 in 2025, but it still faces significant challenges, including a concerning staffing turnover rate of 77%, which is much higher than the state average of 53%. While there have been no fines reported, which is a positive sign, the facility has less RN coverage than 83% of New Mexico facilities, which raises concerns about adequate medical oversight. Specific incidents noted by inspectors include improper infection control measures for COVID-19, unsanitary conditions in the kitchen that could lead to foodborne illnesses, and a failure to provide sufficient RN coverage, which could affect residents' care. Overall, while there are some improvements, families should consider both the strengths and weaknesses of this facility carefully.

Record review of R #16's Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP, a group of blood tests that measures various substances in the body to asses overall health and metabolism) lab results, dated 12/06/24, revealed the following: 1. Sodium blood level [assessment of the amount of the electrolyte (minerals that help control the amount of fluid and the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) sodium in the body; also helps nerves and muscles work properly] was elevated at 151 millimoles per liter (mmol/L, unit of measure used to measure the concentration of substances in the blood) (normal range was 136-145 mmol/L). 2. Chloride blood level (an important electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, blood pressure, and pH levels in the body) was elevated at 120 mmol/L (normal range was 95-108 mmol/L). 3. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN, a common test that checks kidney function) was elevated at 35 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL, unit of measure the concentration of substances in the blood) (normal range was 6-25 mg/DL). 4. Creatinine (Create, waste product produced by muscle metabolism) was normal at 1.19 mg/dL (normal range was 0.70 - 1.30). 5. BUN/ Create ratio (a blood test that measures the function of the kidneys) was normal at 29 (normal range was 9-30). 6. The laboratory results sheet had a signature indicating the lab results were reviewed (unable to determine who signed the sheet). 7. There was no date indicating when the laboratory results were reviewed. M. Record review of R #16's entire medical record, no date, revealed staff did not document that the provider was notified about R #16's abnormal laboratory results. N. On 02/11/25 at 1:43 PM, during an interview, Medical Doctor (MD) #1 stated the following: 1. Linzess is a medication that is used for the treatment of Irritable bowel syndrome or chronic constipation for which other medications have been ineffective (R #16 did not have a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome or chronic constipation in his medical record). 2. Diarrhea is a common side effect of Linzess. 3. An order for Linzess should include instructions to hold the medication for loose stools or diarrhea (R #16's order did not have instructions to hold for loose stools or diarrhea). 4. Anti-diarrhea medications like Imodium A-D should not be ordered with Linzess because they have opposite effects (Linzess treats constipation and Imodium treats diarrhea). 5. Diarrhea can cause dehydration (when the body loses more fluids than it takes in, resulting in lack of water and electrolytes, can be caused by insufficient fluid intake, excessive sweating, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and certain medications) if the diarrhea is not stopped and the resident does not receive fluids to replace the fluids that were lost with diarrhea. 6. An elevated sodium level and elevated chloride level combined with a normal BUN/Creat ratio is an indicator of dehydration. O. Record review of R #16's progress note, dated 12/11/24, revealed R #16 fell and was sent to the Emergency Room. P. Record review of R #16's hospital record, dated 12/11/24, revealed the following: 1. Sodium blood level was elevated at 157 mmol/L (normal level 132-145 mmol/L) 2. Chloride blood level was elevated at 119 mmol/L (normal level 100-112 mmol/L). 3. BUN level was elevated at 25 mg/dL (normal level 9-23 mg/dL). 4. Create level was elevated at 1.42 mg/dL (normal level 0.70-1.30) 5. Diagnoses of severe dehydration and acute kidney injury (a condition where the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to function properly, leading to buildup of waste products in the blood, can be caused by dehydration). Q. On 02/12/25 at 1:34 PM, during an interview with the DON, the following was confirmed: 1. Nursing staff contacted the provider on 11/19/24 to notify them about R #16 having diarrhea, and received an order for Imodium A-D. 2. Nursing staff did not document that the provider was notified about R #16 also having an order for Linzess. 3. Nursing staff should have been familiar with Linzess and the common side effect of diarrhea. 4. Nursing staff should have questioned why R #16 had an order for Linzess and Imodium A-D because they have opposite effects. 5. R #16's medical record did not contain documentation that the nursing staff notified the provider about R #16's diarrhea after 11/19/24. 6. Nursing staff should have contacted the provider to request labs to assess R #16's hydration status prior to 12/5/24. 7. R #16 received all of his hydration through his PEG tube (he was unable to drink fluids). 8. R #16's order for water through his PEG tube was the same since admission. 9.

Based on record reviews and interviews, the facility failed to ensure the facility had sufficient staff to meet the needs of 4 (R #1, R #3, R #4, and R #5) of 5 (R #1, R #2, R #3, R #4, and R #5) residents reviewed for staffing when staff failed to: 1. Assist R #1 to the toilet as ordered by the physician. 2. Assist R #3 and R #5 with transfers in and out of bed when requested. 3. Get R #4 up and ready to eat meals in the dining room. These deficient practices are likely to cause residents psychological distress, make them feel as if they are not valued, and negatively impact resident comfort. The findings are: R #1 A. Record review of R #1's physician's orders revealed the following: 1. Order start date 11/25/24, order discontinue date 01/28/25: Resident to be toileted (assisted to the restroom to urinate and/or defecate) three times a day once in AM at the start of the shift. Once after dinner at the end of the shift and once in the evening PM shift. 2. Order start date 01/29/25: Resident to be toileted three times a day, once in AM at the start of the shift. Once after dinner at the end of the shift and once in the evening PM shift. A. On 02/12/25 at 11:15 AM, during an interview CNA #2, stated the following: 1. She is not assigned to work with R #1, but she has assisted staff with toileting R #1. 2. R #1 requires the assistance of two staff to toilet her due to her requiring a Hoyer lift (medical device lift designed to help caregivers safely transfer residents with limited mobility). 3. R #1 is unable to sit independently on the toilet once she is transferred to the toilet so one staff member stays with her while she is sitting on the toilet. B. On 02/12/25 at 1:55 PM, during an interview with RN #1, she stated she cannot ensure that R #1 is being toileted three times daily because she is the assigned nurse for 31 residents. C. On 02/12/25 at 4:17 PM, during an interview, CNA #1, stated the following: 1. R #1 requires the assistance of two staff to toilet her due to her requiring a Hoyer lift and her decreased mobility. 2. R #1 is usually assisted to the toilet three times daily. D. Record review of R #1's Treatment Administration Record (TAR, electronic document where facility staff document ordered treatments) for December 2024 revealed the following: 1. Staff did not document that R #1 was assisted with toileting at 4:00 PM (dinner) on 12/02/24, 12/03/24 and 12/22/24. 2. Staff did not document that R #1 was assisted with toileting at 8:00 PM (evening) on 12/04/24. E. Record review of R #1's TAR, electronic document for January 2025 revealed staff did not document that R #1 was assisted with toileting at 4:00 PM (dinner) on 01/08/25, 01/23/25 and 01/31/25. R #3 F. On 02/11/25 at 2:30 PM, during an interview, R #3 stated the following: 1. She requires staff assistance to get in and out of bed. 2. She often waits 45 minutes to be assisted in or out of bed because the facility does not have enough staff to help all the residents that are dependent on staff. 3. There are several residents on her housing unit that require the assistance of two staff members (nine residents per the list provided by administrator on 02/11/25) due to needing a Hoyer lift. 4. Sometimes staff will come to her room turn off the call light and say they will be right back, but she ends up waiting another half hour or longer to be transferred. G. On 02/12/25 at 4:03 PM, during an interview RN #1 stated the following: 1. The facility is short-staffed, they need more CNA's to be able to meet the needs of all the residents that require the assistance of two staff. 2. Most recently, on 02/09/25, R #3's housing unit only had one CNA assigned because other staff were reassigned to assist on another housing unit. R #4 E. On 02/12/25 at 2:15 PM, during an interview, R #4 stated the following: 1. She requires a sit-to-stand (medical device that assists residents with limited mobility to be assisted in standing up from a seated position) to be transferred from her bed to her wheelchair and vice versa. 2. She often waits 30 minutes to one hour to be assisted in or out of bed because the facility has been short staffed. 3. There are several residents on her housing unit that require the assistance of two staff members due to Hoyer lifts. 4. On 02/09/25 she had to eat breakfast and lunch in bed because there was only one nursing assistant (NA; nurse aid who has not taken a certification test) assigned to her housing unit. 5. She prefers to eat her meals in the dining room because she is a social butterfly and enjoys that time interacting with other residents. F. On 02/12/25 at 4:03 PM, during an interview with RN #1, she stated on 02/09/25, R #4's housing unit only had one NA assigned. The NA needs to get assistance from another staff member to assist R #4 out of bed using the sit-to-stand lift. R #5 G. On 02/13/25 at 2:55 PM, during an interview, R #5 stated the following: 1. She requires a Hoyer lift to be transferred from her bed to her wheelchair and vice versa. 2. She often waits over an hour to be assisted in or out of bed because the facility has been short staffed. 3. There are several residents on her housing unit that require the assistance of two staff members due to the use of a Hoyer lift. 4. Staff will sometimes come into her room and turn off the call light and will not return. 5. She has had to wait up to three hours to be assisted to bed after lunch. She does not like to stay in her chair too long because sitting to long hurts sometimes. H. On 02/12/25 at 4:34 PM, an interview, CNA #3 stated the following: 1. On 02/09/25 he and one other CNA were assigned to care for 34 residents, 15 of those residents require a Hoyer lift and two residents require assistance with a sit-to-stand. 2. There have been other times in the last two months (can't remember exact dates) that they were short staffed like they were on 02/09/25. 3. The assignment is too much for two CNA's due to the number of residents that require assistance from two CNA's due to the use of a Hoyer lift.

Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to keep residents free from involuntary seclusion (separation of a resident from other residents, from her/his room or confinement to her/his room [with or without roommates] against the resident's will, or the will of the resident representative) for 1 (R #1) of 3 (R #1, R #2, and R #5) residents sampled for involuntary seclusion when the staff failed to allow a resident to move freely throughout the unit. This deficient practice is likely to result in residents experiencing anxiety and/or depression related to being isolated from staff and other residents. The findings are: A. Record review of R #1's face sheet revealed the following: 1. Original admission date of 09/25/23. 2. Diagnoses; Alzheimer's disease (brain condition that causes a decline in memory, thinking, learning and organizing skills over time), insomnia (sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep) and hypertension (high blood pressure).

Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to notify the physician or resident representative of a change in medical status for 1 (R #8) of 1 (R #8) residents reviewed for hospitalization, when they failed to immediately notify R #8's representative and the physician of R #8's low oxygen saturation (amount of oxygen in the blood) and altered mental status (a change in mental function that stems from illnesses, disorders and injuries affecting your brain). This deficient practice could likely result in the resident's representative and the physician being unaware of resident's current condition resulting in delay in treatment. The findings are: A. On 03/04/24 at 3:12 PM, during an interview with R #8, she revealed that she was transferred to hospital for pneumonia about two and a half weeks before this interview. R #8 was unsure of the exact date. B. Record review of the Notification of Transfer or Discharge form, dated 02/18/24, revealed that resident was transferred to the hospital for Altered Mental Status. C. Record review of R #8's nursing progress note, dated 02/18/24, revealed the following: 1. At 7:17 pm Resident was found sleeping at dinning room table during lunch . Assessed resident and obtained oxygen saturation reading of 56% (normal oxygen level is 95% to 100% for healthy individuals. Some people with chronic lung diseases may have normal levels around 90%) on 2L (liters per minute, the rate of oxygen flow) nasal cannula (NC,is a device that delivers extra oxygen through a tube and into your nose). Resident had difficulty forming words, was lethargic (sluggish and apathetic) and demonstrated stroke like symptoms. Pupils were PERRLA (pupils are equal, round and reactive to light and accommodation), no drift (the movement of one or both arms from an initially neutral position) noted in upper extremities, face symmetric and equal. Increased supplemental oxygen to 5L NC. Oxygen reading of 97% obtained, decreased oxygen to 2L NC, oxygen saturation of 94% .During dinner resident fell asleep at dining room table . Vitals obtained and documented. Resident was difficult to arouse, abnormal HR (heart rate) of 48 (A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute) obtained. Notified nurse practitioner (NP). Orders obtained to send resident for higher level of care. 2. Staff did not document that the provider and the family were immediately notified about R #8's low oxygen saturation and altered mental status at lunch. D. On 03/12/24 at 9:15 AM, during an interview with Nurse Practitioner (NP) #21, she stated the following: 1. NP #21 was not notified about R #8 having low oxygenation or altered mental status after lunch on 02/18/24. 2. NP #21 would have wanted to be notified about an oxygen saturation of 56%. 3. If she had been notified about R #8 having an oxygen reading of 56%, she would have put her on oxygen, ordered frequent monitoring including lung sounds, ordered x-rays and labs, or sent her to the hospital. E. On 03/12/24 at 2:49 PM, during an interview with the DON, she confirmed the following: 1. The DON confirmed there was no documentation that the provider or family were notified about R #15's episode of altered mental status after lunch. 2. The provider and the family should have been notified after R #8 had low oxygenation and altered mental status. 3. It is expected that nurses take care of the emergency and make sure the resident is stable, then notify the provider and the resident's family. 4. The DON would expect a progress note to document both the resident's condition and notification to the provider and family.

"Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.

Is Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation Llc Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation LLC has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes).

Staff turnover at Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation LLC is high. At 77%, the facility is 31 percentage points above the New Mexico average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 100%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

Was Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation Llc Ever Fined?

Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation LLC has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation Llc on Any Federal Watch List?

Las Cruces Village Nursing & Rehabilitation LLC is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
