Overview

Glenville Health & Rehab has received a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #99 out of 122 facilities in West Virginia places it in the bottom half, while it is the only nursing home in Gilmer County, meaning there are no local alternatives that rank higher. The facility's situation is worsening, with issues increasing from 5 in 2023 to 19 in 2024. Staffing is a concern as it has a 2/5 rating, with a turnover rate of 53%, which is higher than average for the state, suggesting instability among caregivers. The facility has incurred $39,390 in fines, which is higher than 82% of West Virginia facilities, indicating potential compliance problems. Specific incidents included a resident developing new pressure ulcers due to inadequate treatment, which caused actual harm, and multiple residents being left waiting several minutes before receiving their meals, impacting their dignity. Additionally, residents were not given access to recent survey results, which is a breach of transparency. Overall, while there are some staff members who may care about the residents, the significant issues highlighted raise serious concerns about the quality of care at this facility.

Findings included: a) Nurse Staff Postings A record review of the Nurse Staff Postings maintained by the facility as well as the facility's Hours Per Patient Day (HPPD) report for the time frame of 04/01/22 to 06/30/22, found on the following occasions the nurse staff posting hours were more than the actual hours worked on the HPPD report which is generated from the time clock hours when the staff punch in and out for their shift. The HPPD report contains the acutal number of hours worked by those providing direct care to the residents. -- 04/01/22 the staff posting indicated a total of 167 hours of direct care, but the HPPD

. Based on record review and staff interview the facility failed to ensure Resident #49's drug regimen was free from unnecessary psychotropic medications. Resident #49's physician agreed to decrease Resident #49's antipsychotic medication on 06/20/22. This medication was not decreased until 07/18/22 which was 28 days after the physician agreed to discontinue the medication. In addition nursing staff was identifying on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) that Resident #49 had side effects related to psychotherapeutic medications, but failed to identify what the side effect was and/or to implement an alternative plan of care without side effects. This was true for one (1) of five (5) residents reviewed for the care area of unnecessary medications during the Long Term Care Survey Process. Resident Identifier: #49. Facility Census: 57. Findings Included: a) Resident #49 1. Gradual Dose Reduction of Seroquel A review of Resident #49's medical record found a Consultation Report issued by the pharmacist containing a recommendation date 07/18/22. The comment on the recommendation report read as follows: (First and Last name of Resident #49) prescriber accepted a pharmacy recommendation to decrease Seroquel to 25 mg (milligrams) afternoon and 75 mg HS (at night) on 06/20/22, but the order has not yet been processed. Further review of the record found another Consultation Report issued by the pharmacist containing a recommendation dated 06/20/22. The comment on the recommendation report read as follows: (First and Last name of Resident #49) has experienced a recent fall or is at moderate or high risk of falls, and receives the following psychotropic medications that may increase risk of falls: Seroquel Recommendation: Please consider the following actions to reduce the future risk of falls: decrease to 25 mg afternoon and 75 mg HS. The form indicated the physician accepted this recommendation on 06/20/22. A review of Resident #49's Seroquel orders found the following pertinent orders: Seroquel Tablet 50 mg Give one tablet by mouth at 2:00 pm. This order had a start date of 04/05/22 and an end date of 07/18/22. Seroquel Tablet 25 mg Give one tablet by mouth at 2:00 pm. This order had a start date of 07/19/22 and an end date of 09/28/22. A review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) from 06/21/22 through 07/18/22 found Resident #49 was administered Seroquel 50 mg daily for the referenced time frame. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/30/22 at 10:06 am confirmed the Seroquel was not decreased in June 2022 when the physician accepted the pharmacist recommendation. He stated, My best guess would be because he had marked I decline the recommendation first and then scribbled it out then marked I accept the recommendation. He stated, I was not the DON then so I am not sure exactly why the GDR was not implemented. 2. Side Effect Monitoring A review of Resident #49's medical record found on the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for the month of 11/2022 the following order, Resident free from side effects of psychotherapeutic medications? If no, Document side effects in PN (progress notes,) Every day and night shift. A review of the 11/2022 MAR found on the following dates the nurses documented no indicating Resident #49 was having side effects from the psychotherapeutic medications: -- 11/04/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/05/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/19/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/21/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/22/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/23/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/24/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/25/22 both day and night shift. -- 11/26/22 both day and night shift. A review of Resident #49's progress notes from 11/01/22 through 11/29/22 found no side effects documented for the above mentioned dates. An interview with the Director of Nursing (DON) on 11/30/22 at 10:06 am confirmed the nurses were not documenting the side effects in Resident #49's progress notes. He indicated anytime they answer the question no they should write a progress note describing what the side effect was. .

. c) Resident (R) #20 Review of the medical record on 11/30/22 revealed R #20's hospital after visit summary notes he takes Buspirone (antianxiety medication) twice a day for repeated episodes of anxiety. The physician's history and physical dated 08/05/2022 states past medical history: As above, and see hospital records and no change in condition under the psychiatric system. The physician admission orders include Buspirone hydrochloride 10 milligrams (mg) twice a day for anxiety. The diagnosis section of the medical record and the admission minimal data set (MDS) assessment with an assessment reference date of 08/15/20 are silent for the diagnosis of anxiety. During an interview on 11/30/22 at 09:24 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed R#20's active diagnosis of anxiety is not listed in the diagnosis section of the medical record or in the admission MDS assessment. Based on medical record reviews and staff interviews the facility failed to provide complete and accurate medical records. Resident #34 had incomplete hospice interventions on the care plan and Resident #20 had no diagnosis for anxiety. These incorrect medical records were discovered for two (2) of 21 sample residents records reviewed. Resident identifiers: #34 and #20. Facility census: 57. Findings included: a) Resident #34 A medical record review on 11/28/22 for Resident #34, revealed the care plan did not include any information regarding when hospice nurse aides and nurses would visit and what specific services to be provided. An interview with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) on 11/30/22 at 12:29 PM, verified the care plan for Resident #34 did not specify care and services to be provided by hospice staff. b) Resident #20 Review of the medical record on 11/30/22 revealed Resident #20's hospital after visit summary notes he takes Buspirone (antianxiety medication) twice a day for repeated episodes of anxiety.

. Based on observation, resident interview and staff interview, the facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. Staff were unaware of the correct procedures to follow for residents in isolation, isolation carts for soiled gowns were not hands free, and medications were not administered safely in an isolation room. This practice has the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents currently residing in the facility. Facility census: 57. Findings include: a) Staff isolation practices A random observation on 11/28/22 revealed a resident room marked with a stop sign stating Standard plus Contact precautions to prevent the spread of infection. Please see the nurse before entering the room. When asked, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #29 reported the isolation was for Resident (R) #159's foot wound which contains Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE). LPN #29 reported anyone entering the room are to wear gowns, goggles and gloves. During an interview on 11/28/22 at 10:00 AM, Resident # 159 asked this surveyor why she was wearing a gown, gloves and goggles. Resident #159 stated no one wears a gown when entering his room, even when they perform his dressing changes. On 11/28/22 at 12:09 PM, Nurse Aide (NA) #33 placed Resident #159's lunch tray on top of the soiled linen cart outside of the isolation room, put on an isolation gown and carried the tray to Resident #159's bedside table. Without cleaning or sanitizing her hands, NA #33 obtained Resident #45's tray (the roommate) from the doorway, carried it to his bedside table and assisted him with sitting up and getting ready to eat. NA #33 exited the room, lifted the lid off of the soiled linen cart and disposed of her gown, replaced the lid, closed the residents' door and then cleaned her hands with hand sanitizer. The above concerns and observations were reviewed with the Director of Nursing (DON), during an interview on 11/28/22 at 12:25 PM. The DON acknowledged the staff were not familiar with what isolation should be used for Resident #159. The DON reported the isolation gowns and gloves should be utilized for Resident #159's wound care. The DON agreed staff should have cleaned their hands between tray services for Resident #159 and Resident #45. b) Isolation linen carts A random observation on 11/28/22 revealed the soiled linen cart outside of an isolation room was not hands free. NA #33 lifted the lid with her hands to place her isolation gown into the container during an observation at 12:09 pm on 11/28/22. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the soiled linen carts outside the isolation rooms were not hands free during an interview on 11/28/22 at 12:25 PM. The DON agreed touching the lid increases the risk of spreading infections. c) Medication administration An observation of medication administration to a resident in an isolation room on 11/29/22 at 9:00 AM revealed the following: Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #20 donned an isolation gown and gloves and carried the medications to Resident #45's bedside. She placed the oral tablets and Voltaren gel on the bedside table. LPN #20 administered the liquid risperidone into Resident #45's mouth and then carried the oral syringe back to the med cart. LPN #20 unlocked the med cart with her gloved hands and returned the oral syringe to the medication box inside the med cart. LPN #20 returned to the bedside and administered the remainder of the medications. LPN #20 removed her gloves, washed her hands, and removed her gown when exiting the room. During an interview immediately after this observation, LPN #20 acknowledged the resident's room was marked as isolation. LPN #20 agreed returning to the medication cart without removing her gloves or gown was an incorrect practice and could contaminate the entire medication cart and increase the risk of spreading infection. .

"Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
