Overview

Stone Pear Pavilion in Chester, West Virginia, has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for care, but not without some concerns. Ranked #40 out of 122 facilities in the state, it sits in the top half, though it is #3 out of 3 in Hancock County, meaning there is only one local option that is better. Unfortunately, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with the number of issues identified rising from 9 in 2022 to 12 in 2024. Staffing ratings are below average at 2 out of 5 stars, and while turnover is better than the state average at 41%, the facility has less RN coverage than 81% of other West Virginia facilities, which is concerning as RNs are crucial for catching problems. On a positive note, there have been no fines, which is a strong indication of compliance. However, recent inspections revealed specific incidents that raised alarms, such as a failure to notify a physician when a resident's blood sugar levels exceeded 400 and a lack of timely responses to pharmacy recommendations regarding medications. Additionally, the facility was found to have cleanliness issues, with mold in shower rooms and dirty air conditioning vents, which could impact residents' health and comfort. Overall, families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses carefully when considering Stone Pear Pavilion for their loved ones.

. Based on policy review, record review and staff interview The facility failed to develop and implement policies and procedures for the monthly drug regimen review that include, but are not limited to, time frames for the different steps in the process and steps the pharmacist must take when he or she identifies an irregularity that requires urgent action to protect the resident. In addition, pharmacy recommendations were kept in the Director of Nursing's (DON) office and not forwarded to the physician for a timely response.

Findings include: a) Facility policy The undated facility policy titled Village Long Term Care Pharmacy Services Policy and Procedures for Documentation and Communication of Consulting Pharmacist Recommendations states pharmacist recommendations regarding residents' drug therapy are communicated to those with authority and/or responsibility to implement the recommendations, and respond to in an appropriate and timely fashion. The timing of these recommendations should enable a response prior to the next drug regiment review. **The policy lacks specific time frames for the different steps in the process and steps the pharmacist must take when he or she identifies an irregularity that requires urgent action The policy was reviewed with the DON and Registered Nurse Supervisor #147 on 09/14/22 at 8:20 AM.

When questioned, LPN #48 reported she believed there may also be a written log of weights that the restorative aides keep for their records. During an interview with Restorative Aide #68 on 05/26/21 at 9:23 AM, it was confirmed that the weights listed in Resident #27's electronic medical record were the only ones listed on the paper copies kept on file. Restorative Aide #68 reported if Restorative Aides are pulled to work the floor, sometimes resident weights may not get done. The Director of Nursing acknowledged, during an interview on 05/26/21 at 11:03 AM, the facility had failed to follow Resident #27's order for weekly weights. b-1) Resident #47 Active Order for Padded Bilateral Half Side Rails On 05/25/21 at 9:30 AM, an electronic health record review was completed and revealed an active order for Resident #47 to have bilateral half side rails to be padded at all times due to resident hitting hands on them at times.

B-2) Resident #47 - Active Order for Hospice Despite Hospice Being Discontinued On 05/25/21 at 10:50 AM, an electronic health record review was completed. There was an active order, dated 01/22/21, for Resident #47 to receive hospice care. Resident #47's care plan, dated 05/11/21, stated: [Resident #47's First Name] is under Hospice Palliative Care.

During a resident representative interview on 05/25/21 PM 12:00 PM, the family member stated even though the family had been very pleased with the services provided by hospice, Resident #47 is no longer an active hospice patient. Resident #47's family member reported that family had received notification from the hospice agency that resident's last day of hospice was 05/05/21. On 05/25/21 at 12:25 PM, LPN #48 and the Director of Nursing (DON) verbally reported Resident #47 was currently receiving hospice services and hospice documentation could be found under the hospice tab on resident's chart. Surveyor was unable to find any hospice documentation from the month of May on resident's chart. Upon Surveyor request on 05/25/21 at 3:00 PM, Resident #47's family member shared a copy the hospice's detailed explanation of non-coverage dated 05/03/21 which documented the hospice agency had reviewed Resident #47's case and decided that Medicare coverage of resident's current hospice services should end. The facts used to make this decision were noted to be: Pt. (patient) 138 lbs. upon readmission in January 2021. Last weight from April 2021 is 152 lbs. Patient is stable with no decline noted. The Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage reflected hospice services would end on 05/05/21. On 05/26/21 at 11:20 AM, the DON was asked to produce a list of residents on the east wing currently receiving hospice services. Resident #47 was included in the list produced by the DON. Surveyor questioned if the DON was 100% certain, as family reported they had received written notice from the hospice agency that 05/05/21 was Resident #47's last day of hospice. The DON stated the hospice agency had recently cut several residents, but she did not believe Resident #47 was one of them. The DON was unable to find any documentation in the month of May reflecting that hospice had been in the building and seen Resident #47. The DON then led Surveyor to the MDS Coordinators office to confirm if the active order for hospice was correct. The MDS Coordinator reported the order was correct and Resident #47 was actively receiving hospice services. The MDS Coordinator had no knowledge the hospice agency provided the resident's family with written notification ending hospice services as of 05/05/21. The DON acknowledged the hospice agency had notified the family in writing of Resident #47's last day of hospice being 05/05/21 and stated the facility would contact the hospice agency to clarify if Resident #47 had indeed been cut from services. No further information was provided prior to exit. c) Resident #153 An observation, on 05/24/21 at 2:00 PM, revealed Resident #153 had a large brown bruise on the back of the upper right arm just above the elbow.

An interview with Resident #153, on 05/26/21 at 8:16 AM, revealed no one in the facility abused her and no falls have occurred. Resident #153 stated, I don't know how I got the bruise on my arm. An observation, on 05/26/21 at 8:17 AM, revealed a large faded greenish/brown bruise on the back of the upper right arm just above the elbow. The bruise appeared to continue to have a puffy area in the center part of the bruise that resembled a knot. An interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #44, on 05/26/21 at 9:15 AM, revealed LPN #44 had not worked with Resident #153 in a long time. LPN #44 stated the bruising could be from insulin shots in the right arm or those times when Resident #153 was combative maybe hitting her arm on the bed rails when flailing about. An interview with Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #48, on 05/26/21 at 9:20 AM, stated when a Resident is found with new bruising staff are to talk with a resident to find out what happened, write an incident report and then contact the Family, Doctor and the Director of Nursing. An interview with Medical Records Coordinator (MRC) #11 on 05/26/21 at 9:40 AM revealed there were no available incident reports for Resident #153. An interview with Director of Nursing (DON), on 05/26/21 at 10:30 AM, verified the bruising on Resident #153's upper right arm and stated an incident report should have been completed with such a visible bruise as seen on Resident #153's arm. An interview with Nursing Supervisor (NS) #8, on 05/26/21 at 11:00AM, revealed measurements of the bruise on Resident # 153's right upper arm was seven and a half centimeters (7.5 cm) long and seven and half centimeters (7.5 cm) wide. NS #8 confirmed the bruise had not been identified by the facility so no incident report or reportable had been completed. .

. Based on observation, policy review, and staff interview, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention program to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections in regard to laundry services, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and Respiratory Care.
