Overview

Standing Stone Care and Rehab in Monterey, Tennessee has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice among nursing homes, though not the best. It ranks #97 out of 298 facilities in Tennessee, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 4 in Putnam County, meaning only one other local option is better. Unfortunately, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 3 in 2019 to 5 in 2023. Staffing is a mixed bag; while the staff turnover rate is relatively low at 38%, which is better than the state average, the facility only received 2 out of 5 stars for staffing and quality measures, indicating room for improvement. Although there have been no fines, which is a positive sign, the facility has faced some specific concerns, such as failing to implement an Antibiotic Stewardship program for all residents and not maintaining food items in a sanitary manner, both of which could potentially affect resident safety.

The DON reported the allegations to the facility's corporate officials, the administrator, local police, the state ombudsman office, and to the State Agency (SA) on 5/13/2024 at 1:47 PM (over 48 hours after the initial allegations were made by Resident #3 to HK A). During an interview on 1/14/2025 at 10:20 AM, the former Administrator confirmed all staff were required to report abuse allegations immediately, through the chain of command, to the Administrator or Designee as soon as they were identified. The Administrator confirmed HK A failed to follow the facility's abuse policy on 5/11/2024 regarding Resident #3's allegations, which led to a delay in the facility leadership being made aware and the reporting of the allegation to the state designated authority within the 2 hour time frame. During an interview on 1/14/2025 at 11:05 AM, HK A stated on 5/11/2024 Resident #3 reported to her the EVS had propositioned Resident #3 for sex. HK A reported Resident #3 made several odd statements that morning (leading HK A to believe Resident #3 was confused) prior to the allegations about the EVS and confirmed she did not report Resident #3's allegations. HK A stated RN X who was working at the time of the allegation, entered the resident's room a few moments after she had exited and assumed Resident #3 would repeat the allegations to the nurse. HK A confirmed the allegations by Resident #3 were reported to her near the end of her shift on 5/11/2024 between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM and she had not informed the facility of the allegations until after she was questioned by the SDC on the morning of 5/12/2024 (1 day after the allegations were made). During an interview on 1/14/2025 at 11:40 AM, the SDC stated she interviewed Resident #3 on the morning of 5/12/2024 around 5:30 AM after she arrived to work. The SDC stated at the time she initially interviewed Resident #3, she was not aware of the allegations of the sexual comments and sexual proposition by the EVS which was reported to HK A. The SDC stated RN X had informed her Resident #3 had reported concerns for her safety related to the EVS but was not given any specific details related to those concerns. The SDC stated initially Resident #3 made allegations she was fearful of the EVS because the EVS had made sexual advances towards HK A and she feared for HK A's safety. The SDC reported she informed the DON of the allegations and the DON assumed supervision of the investigation, which later revealed the additional allegations of sexual comments and proposition by the EVS to Resident #3 which was reported to HK A on 5/11/2024. The SDC stated she obtained written statements from all involved parties related to those allegations, which clarified the allegations and prompted the referral to the local police and the state agency for investigation. The allegations were reported to the state agency 2 days after Resident #3 made the initial report to HK A. The facility was cited as past non-compliance at F-609. Surveyors verified and validated the corrective action plan on site. The facility implemented the following corrective actions which were validated onsite by the surveyor on 1/14/2025 as follows: 1. On 5/13/2024 when the facility became aware of the full nature of the allegations the alleged perpetrator was immediately suspended. The facility conducted an ad hoc QA of the allegations and launched a full investigation which included interviews of all involved personnel and Resident #3. 2. The facility identified by investigative interviews conducted on 5/13/2024 HK had failed to report allegations of abuse immediately to facility administration and suspended HK pending outcome of the investigation as well. The facility suspended RN X for failure to launch an initial investigation immediately when Resident #3 informed her she feared the EVS. 3. The facility assessed all residents for potential impact of the allegations on 5/13/2024 and identified no other potential victims. Additionally, the facility interviewed multiple female staff as related to EVS with no negative findings. 4. The facility notified all authorities as required by law of the allegations once their true nature was identified within two hours of becoming aware of them on the afternoon of 5/13/2024. 5. The facility also performed skin assessments of all cognitively impaired elders with BIMS less than 8 on 5/13/2024 with no negative findings. 6. Resident #3 was examined by the hospice physician on 5/13/2024 who determined no signs of abuse were present, noted inconsistencies in Resident #3's allegations and mental status,and determined there was no evidence Resident #3 was abused as alleged and reported this to the facility IDT. The hospice physician's findings were conveyed to the facility medical director who also examined Resident #3 and concurred. Resident #3 was placed on increased monitoring as a precaution and the care plan was adjusted to reflect 2 persons in the room at all times and no male caretakers on 5/13/2024. 7. The family was contacted on 5/13/2024 for initial discussions related to the incident and additional follow up calls with the responsible party were completed on 5/15/2024 at the conclusion of the facility internal investigation, in which the facility findings and interventions put in place in response to the allegations were reviewed with the responsible party. 8. Resident #3 was examined by the Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner on 5/14/2024 with no new orders issued and no signs of mental duress present in Resident #3. The NP concurred with findings of both the hospice physician and medical director and changes to the care plan already in place. The facility also provided education to the resident council on escalation of abuse allegations on 5/14/2024. The resident council had no voiced concerns with EVS or abuse allegations to report to the facility. 9. The facility implemented a performance improvement plan (PIP) related to timely reporting of all potential abuse allegations to administration and the facility abuse prohibition policy on 5/13/2024, after consultation with Corporate officials was completed. Additional QA of the incident was performed on 5/14/2024, and root cause analysis of the incident was completed. All staff were required to be re-educated on the abuse policy and timely reporting requirements. Staff education began on 5/13/2024 and was completed on 5/21/2024. 10. The facility placed the incident on the Quality Assurance agenda for the following month after additional Quality Assurance Reviews of the incident were conducted on 5/15/2024. Follow up QA review of all interventions was performed on 5/21/2024 to ensure staff education was completed as directed. The facility also performed additional QA review of the incident and monitoring of the PIP on 6/5/2024 and again 6/10/2024. The facility continued to perform Quality Assurance Review of the incident through July 2024 with no further negative findings and no other instances of late abuse reporting detected. 11. EVS was terminated upon conclusion of the facility investigation on 5/15/2024. On 1/14/2025 the surveyor validated the corrective actions onsite by interview of 8 staff members all of whom were knowledgeable of the abuse prohibition and reporting requirements policy as well as internal mechanisms for reporting concerns with leadership by the corporate hot line. Interviews with the SDC and HK also confirmed they were suspended as reported and both completed re-education in relation to the incident and timely abuse reporting. RN X was no longer employed at the facility. Review of her personnel file showed RN X did complete training as required and was reinstated. On 1/14/2025 the surveyor reviewed additional resident council minutes from 7/2024 to 12/2024 showed no concerns with abuse or neglect at the facility. Review of complaint logs for the same period showed no other allegations of staff on resident sexual abuse. On 1/14/2025 the surveyor reviewed the facility corrective action records which were maintained in a binder specific to the complaint. Review of staff logs showed all staff members completed mandatory re-training by the dates specified as reported. On 1/14/2025 the surveyor completed reviews of personnel files for all staff members involved in the incident and verified retraining, corrective discipline and terminations as reported by the facility. On 1/14/2025 the surveyor reviewed the law enforcement initial report and unredacted investigation notes provided by local police as related to the incident. On 1/14/2025 the surveyor completed review of the facility root cause analysis and PIP which corroborated data in the education materials used to re-educate staff in relation to the facility's self-identified noncompliance and corrective actions.
