Overview

Hansford Manor in Spearman, Texas, has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for potential residents. It ranks #247 out of 1,168 facilities in Texas, placing it in the top half, and is the only nursing home in Hansford County, meaning it is the best local option. However, the facility's trend is concerning as the number of issues increased from 2 in 2023 to 3 in 2024. Staffing is a strong point with a low turnover rate of 0%, which is significantly better than the state average, but it only received 2 out of 5 stars for staffing, indicating room for improvement in this area. There have been no fines, which is promising, and while RN coverage is average, the facility has had several concerning incidents; for example, residents were allowed to keep cigarettes, posing a fire hazard, and care plans were not adequately developed, risking improper care for some residents. Overall, while Hansford Manor has some strengths, families should be aware of its weaknesses and recent increase in compliance issues.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to complete an assessment that accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 14 residents (Resident #4) reviewed for accuracy of MDS assessments. The facility failed to complete an accurate assessment for Resident #4, the assessment indicated she received insulin and did not. This failure could affect residents by placing them at risk for not receiving adequate care and services. Findings included: Record review of Resident #4's face sheet revealed a [AGE] year-old female admitted on [DATE] with diagnoses to include but not limited to hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (nerve damage in the arms and legs), bipolar disorder, type 2 diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar levels), and chronic pain. Record review of Resident #4's Annual MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #4 had a BIMS score of 13 out of 15 which indicated that she was cognitively intact. The MDS indicated in Section N0300 (Injections) that Resident #4 received 1 insulin injection from the 7 days during the MDS look back period. Record review of Resident #4's physician orders revealed no order for insulin injections. Orders for Ozempic .5 mg given subcutaneously in the afternoon every Wednesday related to type 2 diabetes mellitus dated 04/24/2024. Record review of Resident #4's Care plan dated 06/27/2024 indicated resident had Diabetes Mellitus with interventions of dietary consult for nutritional regimen and ongoing monitoring. No insulin injections were identified in the care plan. Record review of Resident #4's Medication Administration Record for June 2024 did not indicate any insulin injections were administered. During an interview on 08/20/2024 at 11:05 AM, Resident #4 stated that she does not take any insulin but was taking a medication called Ozempic for weight loss and that she was pre diabetic. Resident #4 stated that she does not get a lot of exercise being in a wheelchair, so the Ozempic was helping her lose weight. During an interview on 08/21/2024 at 9:14 AM, the ADM stated that she looked at the MDS Assessment for Resident #4 and stated that she saw where the MDS Coordinator marked insulin injections and stated that it must have been a typo. The ADM stated she could not argue that it was a mistake. During an interview on 08/21/2024 at 9:34 AM, the DON stated the MDS Coordinator was responsible for putting information in the MDS Assessment and that if that information was wrong it could affect the payrate and care of a resident. During an interview on 08/21/2024 at 9:43 AM, LVN A stated the MDS Coordinator was responsible for putting information in the MDS Assessment. LVN A stated that a possible negative outcome for putting wrong information in the MDS Assessment would be that a resident could get insulin instead of the accurate medication. During an interview on 8/21/2024 at 9:44 AM, the ADON stated the negative outcome for wrong information being in the MDS Assessment would be that the payrate for CMS would be wrong. During an interview on 08/21/2024 at 9:51 AM, the MDS Coordinator stated that the look back period for medication was 7 days for the MDS Assessment and she used the Resident Assessment Instrument for guidance. The MDS Coordinator stated that she was responsible for putting the information in the MDS Assessment and stated that she made a mistake by indicating that the resident was taking insulin when she was not. Record review of Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) via CMS website. Section N: Medications Intent: The intent of the items in this section is to record the number of days, during the last 7 days that any type of injection, insulin, and or select medication were received by the resident. Steps for Assessment: 1. Review the resident's medication administration records for the 7-day look-back period (or since admission/entry or reentry if less than 7 days). 2. Review documentation from other health care locations where the resident may have received injections while a resident of the nursing home (e.g., flu vaccine in a physician's office, in the emergency room - as long as the resident was not admitted ). 3. Determine if any medications were received by the resident via injection. If received, determine the number of days during the look-back period they were received.

During an interview on 06/21/23 at 11:23 AM, the DON stated smoking assessments were done at admission. She stated the RN's were responsible for the smoking assessments. The DON stated a negative outcome of allowing Resident #7 to keep his smoking paraphernalia rather than turn it into the nurses was, They could light the building on fire, I guess. When asked who is responsible to ensure Resident #7 turns in his lighter and cigarettes after smoking, the DON stated it is the charge nurse but activities staff tends to watch the smoking residents as they smoke outside the activities room. She said Resident #7 usually turned his lighter and cigarettes in to the nurse at the window (of the nurse's station in hall 1). During an interview on 06/21/23 at 11:39 AM, the ADM stated a possible negative outcome of allowing Resident #7 to keep his smoking paraphernalia rather than turn it in to the nurses was, It could cause some accidents and be detrimental to the health of the resident and other residents. When asked who was responsible to ensure Resident #7 turned in his smoking paraphernalia after smoking, the ADM said, Whoever sees him coming in. The charge nurse watches for it and whoever is there. 2. Observation on 06/19/23 at 10:47 AM, revealed a round white pill on the floor in the doorway of room [ROOM NUMBER] of hall 1. The pill had a capital A on one side and other side it had a B and a 4. During an interview on 06/19/23 at 10:48 AM, CNA C was shown the pill from the floor and offered to turn it in to the nurses' station. She stated if she ever found a pill on the floor, she would put it in her pocket and turn it in to a nurse. Observation on 06/19/23 at 10:52 AM, revealed two more round white pills on the floor in the hallway close to the wall between room [ROOM NUMBER] and room [ROOM NUMBER] and closer to room [ROOM NUMBER]. These pills had a capital A on one side and a B and a 4 on the other side. During an interview on 06/19/23 at 10:54 AM, RN A was given the three pills with a description of where they were found on the floor. During an interview on 06/19/23 at 10:58 AM, RN A stated the medication found on the floor of hall 1 came from a respite resident. She stated she spoke to the LVN doing medicine pass and discovered the LVN dropped the bottle of medication and it spilled. During an interview on 06/19/23 at 11:24 AM, RN A stated the nurse she spoke to regarding the spilled medication was LVN B. She stated, [First name of LVN B] is the little LVN in training. During an interview on 06/19/23 at 11:24 AM, LVN B stated, This morning I was trying to close the bottle and it slipped on me and fell on the floor and spilled. I picked up the ones that I could. I thought I got them all, but I guess some escaped me. During an interview on 06/19/23 at 02:14 PM, LVN B stated the medication she spilled on the floor was Amiodarone (medication used to treat certain types of serious irregular heartbeat to restore and maintain a regular steady heartbeat). During an interview on 06/21/23 at 11:33 AM, the DON stated her expectation of her staff when a bottle of medication was spilled was that they locate them all. She stated there was no way for LVN B to count the pills to determine if she had found all of the pills because the facility did not keep a record of how many pills came in with the respite resident. The DON stated a possible negative outcome of medication lying on floor was, Well, I guess any resident could eat them if they bent over and got them. During an interview on 06/21/23 at 11:39 PM, the ADM stated a possible negative outcome of medication lying on the floor of the facility was, If a resident were to pick it up and take it, they could have an adverse reaction. During an interview on 06/21/23 at 11:42 AM, RN A stated the facility would not count the medication a respite resident brought to the facility unless the medication was a narcotic. When asked for a possible negative outcome of medication lying on the floor of the facility, RN A stated, Someone could pick it up and ingest it.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program (PASRR) to the maximum extent practicable to avoid duplicative testing and effort for 1 of 13 (Resident #4) residents reviewed for PASRR. Resident #4 was not referred for PASRR Level II assessment when a diagnosis of Mental Illness was identified after admission. This failure could affect residents with mental illnesses and placed them at risk of not being assessed to receive needed services. Finding include: Record review of Resident #4's clinical record face sheet dated 4-28-2022 revealed she is a [AGE] year-old female resident admitted to the facility on [DATE] with diagnoses to include atrial fibrillation (irregular, often rapid heart rate), pressure ulcer, open wound, history of COVID-19, unspecified psychosis (a mental disorder characterized by a disconnection from reality), anemia (a condition in which the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells), anxiety (intense, excess, and persistent worry or fear), pain, hypertension (a condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high), congestive heart failure (a chronic condition in which the heart dose not pump blood as well as it should), arthropathy(disease of the joints), muscle weakness, chronic kidney disease(longstanding disease of the kidneys leading to kidney failure), gastro-esophageal reflux disease(a digestive disease in which stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe lining), and constipation. Record review of Resident #4's last completed MDS was an annual dated 1-28-2022 revealed she had a BIMS of 6 indicating she is severely cognitively impaired, and she had a functionality of requiring one-person assistance with most of her activities of daily living. Further review of section A1500 revealed the following: Is the resident currently considered by the state level II PASRR process to have a serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or a relation condition.-Answer was 0: No. Record review of Resident #4's clinical record face sheet dated 4-28-2022 revealed she has the diagnosis of unspecified psychosis with onset date of 7-21-2020. Record review of Resident #4's PASRR Level 1Screening with date of assessment 9-10-2019 revealed the following: C0100 Mental Illness-No C0200 Intellectual Disability-No C0300 Developmental Disability-No There were no other PASRR Level 1 Screenings in Resident #4's chart. During an observation on 04/27/22 at 01:25 PM Resident #4 was in bed sleeping but awoke to knocking. Resident #4 was dressed well, wearing her glasses, and was laying on top of her covers. Resident #4 reported her lunch was good. She was limited with her answers and became confused easily. Resident #4 believed she was admitted to this facility this morning. She became increasingly confused with further questions and was unable to answer effectively. During an interview on 04/29/22 at 09:16 AM HR A verified that Resident #4 was PASSR negative with a Level 1 Screening date of 9-10-2019. HR A reviewed Resident #4's chart and verified that another PASRR Level 1 had not been done on this resident. HR A verified that Resident #4 had a diagnosis of Psychoses added 7-21-2020 that did qualify the resident for PASSR level II services. When questioned HR A stated, If there is a change in the resident's condition then we would do another PASRR. HR A then reported that SS B from Social Services was supposed to complete the PASRRs. During an interview on 04/29/22 at 09:19 AM SS B verified that Resident #4 did have a negative PASRR, and a qualifying diagnosis of Psychosis added on 7-21-2020. When questioned if Resident #4 should have had the PASRR updated when the diagnoses was added SS B stated, I don't know. When questioned if there could be negative consequences from not having PASRR Level II services when the resident qualifies SS B stated, The main thing is they will not receive the extra services provide by TMHP like counseling and stuff like that. They will not receive what PASRR will provide. Both HR A and SS B verified that once a PASRR is in the system then the DON follows up if it is positive. HR A checked the system and reported that she could not find any follow-up for Resident #4. During an interview on 04/29/22 at 09:32 AM the DON when questioned about the PASRR Level II services for Resident #4 stated, I can't tell you any answers on that . I don't remember the last Resident I called on.: When questioned if any consequences could arise from a resident not receiving level II services that they should qualify for from PASRR the DON stated, We do everything for them so they really wouldn't miss something. If there is anything the PASRR would provide we would provide it anyway. Record review of the facility provided policy titled Preadmission Screening (PASRR) dated 12-16-2016 revealed the policy contained no information to address a resident with a newly added qualifying diagnoses for MI, ID, or DD. During an interview on 04/29/22 at 10:36 AM the DON stated, Ya that is the only PASRR policy that we have.

About This Facility

What is Hansford Manor's CMS Rating?

Within Texas, this rating places the facility higher than 99% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This rating reflects solid performance across the metrics CMS uses to evaluate nursing home quality.

How is Hansford Manor Staffed?

What Have Inspectors Found at Hansford Manor?

State health inspectors documented 6 deficiencies at HANSFORD MANOR during 2022 to 2024. These included: 6 with potential for harm.

Who Owns and Operates Hansford Manor?

HANSFORD MANOR is owned by a government entity. Government-operated facilities are typically run by state, county, or municipal agencies. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 60 certified beds and approximately 44 residents (about 73% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in SPEARMAN, Texas.

How Does Hansford Manor Compare to Other Texas Nursing Homes?

Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Texas, HANSFORD MANOR's overall rating (4 stars) is above the state average of 2.8 and health inspection rating (5 stars) is much above the national benchmark.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Hansford Manor?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Hansford Manor Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, HANSFORD MANOR 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). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Texas. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.

Do Nurses at Hansford Manor Stick Around?

HANSFORD MANOR has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.

Was Hansford Manor Ever Fined?

HANSFORD MANOR 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. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Hansford Manor on Any Federal Watch List?

HANSFORD MANOR 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.
