Overview

Ravenswood Village has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not without concerns. It ranks #36 out of 122 facilities in West Virginia, placing it in the top half, and is the best option in Jackson County. The facility shows an improving trend, reducing issues from 14 in 2023 to 8 in 2025, but still has a notable number of concerns. Staffing is a mixed bag with a 3/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 48%, which is about average. Notably, there is good RN coverage, surpassing 94% of West Virginia facilities, which helps catch potential problems. However, there have been recent incidents that raise concerns. For example, the facility failed to update important resident health screenings after new diagnoses were made, which could impact care. Additionally, there was a failure to keep a janitor's closet locked, exposing residents to potentially hazardous cleaning chemicals. While the overall health inspection rating is good, families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses carefully when considering care for their loved ones.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** . b) Resident #54 A medical record review, completed on 03/14/23 at 7:30 PM, revealed the following: -Resident #54 began receiving Hospice/End of Life services on 12/11/22. -Section O of the Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS), dated [DATE], titled Special Treatments, Procedures, and Programs failed to identify Resident #54 was receiving Hospice care. -Section O of the Significant Change MDS, dated [DATE], also failed to identify identify Resident #54 was receiving Hospice care. During an interview on 03/15/23 at 9:30 PM, MDS Nurse #15 reported she had had erroneously failed to capture Hospice services for Resident #54 on the two (2) above-mentioned MDS dates. Based on record review and staff interview the facility failed to ensure resident Minimum data sets were completed and accurately reflected the residents status. Resident #35 had three (3) MDS assessments which were in accurate under section (N) medications. Also for Resident #35 the nutritional Care Area Assessment (CAA) for nutritional status was not fully complete. For Resident #54 the facility failed to complete an accurate MDS in regards to the residents hospice status. This was true for two (2) of 19 sampled residents reviewed during the Long Term Care Survey Process. Resident Identifiers: #35 and #54. Facility Census: 60. Findings Included: A) Resident #35 1) Medications A review of Resident #35's medical record at 7:30 am on 03/15/23 found three (3) MDS with the following assessment reference dates 10/03/22, 01/03/23, and 03/03/23. Review of all three (3) assessments found the following answers to Section N0450. Antipsychotic Medication Review: . B. Has a gradual dose reduction (GDR) been attempted? All three (3) MDSs indicated a GDR had not been attempted. Further review of the record found Resident #35 takes Seroquel 25 mg at night. This dosage was started on 08/01/22 following a pharmacy recommendation to reduce the medication to this dosage from the previous does of 25 mg twice a day. This GDR recommendation was accepted by the attending physician on 07/28/22 and was implemented on 08/01/22. An interview with the Registered Nurse Assessment Coordinator (RNAC) at 8:30 am on 03/15/23 confirmed all three (3) MDS assessments were coded incorrectly and Resident #35 has had a GDR of her antipsychotic medications. 2) Nutritional CAA completion A review of Resident #35's medical record on 03/15/23 at 7:30 am found Resident #35 lost from 112 pounds on 02/14/23 to 102 pounds on 03/03/23. A further review of the medical record found a Minimum Data Set (MDS) with and Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 03/03/23. This MDS captured the fact Resident #335 experienced a significant weight loss. Because of the significant weight lost this Significant Change MDS triggered a Nutritional Status CAA. The medical record indicates this CAA was completed by the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) further review of the CAA found the following areas were not answered and/or completed: -- Analysis of Findings. The CAA did not indicate if it is an Actual or Potential problem and did not explain the nature of the problem or the condition. -- Care Plan Consideration. The CAA did indicate the facility would proceed with the care plan. However the CAA did not answer the following question, If Care planning for this problem, what is the overall objective. In addition the section titled, Describe impact of this problem/need on the resident and your rationale for care plan decision. was also left blank. An interview with the CDM at 9:30 am confirmed she ha been responsible for completing the Nutritional Status CAA. She indicated she had only been doing them for about 30 days. She reviewed the Nutritional Status CAA for Resident #35's Significant Change MDS with an ARD of 03/03/23 and confirmed it was not complete. She stated, I always answer those areas it must not have saved my answers. .

During an interview, on 03/15/23 at 10:10 AM, the Administrator reported there had been issues with especially with nighttime weekend staffing and it had been necessary at times to have a licensed nurse work as a Nurse Aide or for key administrative personnel to cover the Nurse Aide duties in order to meet resident needs. The Administrator further explained when key administrative personnel have come in to cover those shifts it does not pull over to the clock-in / clock-out hours because those staff members are salaried. e) Resident and Resident Representative Interviews During Anonymous Resident Interview #1, on 03/13/23 at 11:51 AM, the resident reported, The facility does not have enough staff to provide adequate resident care. I have needed to wait hours for care concerns to be addressed. Also, my food is not hot when I am fed. The building simply does not have enough help. I have had to wait a week for a shower. My shower days are usually Tuesdays and Fridays. I have needed to wait from Tuesday to Tuesday and I have been told it's due to lack of staff.

During an interview, on 03/15/23 at 11:00 AM, the Administrator produced the Daily Staffing Sheet for November 27, 2022, which reflected she came in to assist with duties that night. The Administrator confirmed she did not have a nursing background and that the hours she worked would not technically count as direct care hours. -On Saturday, December 31, 2022, the Daily Time Detail by Department report reflected there were only two (2) Nurse Aides working on the 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM night shift. During an interview, on 03/15/23 at 11:01 AM, the Administrator produced the Daily Staffing Sheet for December 31, 2022, which had three (3) Nurse Aides on the schedule that night. There was no clock-in / clock-out hours produced for NA #58. The Daily Staffing Sheet for December 31, 2022 did not reflect anyone from Administration came in that night to assist with duties. Based on resident and family interview, facility record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure there is sufficient qualified staff available at all times to meet the needs of the residents. This practice has the potential to affect more than a limited number of residents. Facility census: 60. Findings include: a) Resident #113 and family/Power of Attorney (POA) interviews On 03/13/23 at 2:17 PM, R#113 and his POA/significant other reported short staffing on the night shift. R#113 stated he was unable to get assistance with hygiene care after an incontinence event and had to call his POA at home for assistance at 3:00 AM on either the 9th or 10th of this month. The POA acknowledged she came into the facility after the call to clean and change R#113's brief. b) Staff interviews On 03/14/23 at 3:17 PM, Nursing Assistant (NA) #58 reported the facility's urinary toileting program is to check and change the resident every two hours. NA #58 stated It takes a minimum of ten minutes to change a resident with urinary incontinence. Longer if they are assisted to the restroom or have a bowel movement. At 3:19 PM on 03/14/23, NA #79 acknowledged the facility's toileting program is to check and change the incontinent residents every two hours. NA #79 added it takes her no less than ten minutes to clean and change a resident with urinary incontinence. It takes at least 15 minutes if the resident has a bowel movement. On 03/15/23 at 8:45 AM, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #2 acknowledged the facility currently has a large percentage of residents requiring a higher acuity of care for the number of staff available. Several of the residents require assistance with eating which takes an average of 15-20 minutes to feed one resident. In addition, R#12 and R#45 each take a half hour to feed each meal. This ties up two nursing assistants during meal service. c) Centers For Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) form 672 The CMS 672 form notes the facility currently has 60 residents. The Activities of Daily Living (ADL) section notes the following: Of the 60 residents 22 require the assistance of one to two staff for eating and eight are totally dependent on staff for nutrition. Of the 60 residents seven are able to toilet independently, 32 require the assistance of one or two for toileting and eight are totally dependent on staff for care. The daily staff postings dated 02/12/23 through 03/13/23 note night shift is staffed with three nursing assistants for 22.50 staffing hours, one Registered Nurse (RN) for 7.5 hours and one Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for 7.5 hours. The total nurse aide staffing hours for an eight hour night shift is 22.5 for an average census of 60 residents. **According to the CMS 672, 53 of the 60 residents residing in the facility require assistance with toileting. Checking and changing these 53 residents every two hours for a minimum of 10 minutes each equals 35.33 hours of patient care in an eight hour shift. .

. Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the attending physician documented in the resident's medical record that the consulting pharmacist's identified irregularities were reviewed and what, if any, action had been taken to address it.

The MRR outlined the following recommendation: -Recommendation: No indication requiring Protonix twice daily, please change to once daily. There was no evidence the attending physician had reviewed the pharmacist's consultation report. There was no physician response documented. There was no physician signature. On 01/26/22 at 11:00 AM, the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the facility failed to ensure the attending physician reviewed the irregularity and it was not documented what, if any, action had been taken to address it. b) Resident #34 A medical record review, completed on 01/25/22 at 1:56 PM, revealed the consulting pharmacist had completed a medication regimen review (MRR) on 10/24/21. The MRR outlined the following comment, recommendation, and rationale: -Comment: [Resident #34's First and Last Name]'s doxepin was recently increased (insomnia) and ropinirole was added. She is on an antibiotic for cellulitis. -Recommendation: Please evaluate for and document any comorbid contributors to sleep disturbance in this individual and any steps taken to minimize their impact.

Seroquel recently initiated. -04/04/21 Recommendation: Please initiate Senna 8/6 mg 2 tablets once daily at bedtime (hold for loose stools), while continuing to monitor for signs and symptoms of constipation. -04/04/21 Rationale for Recommendation: Use of a stimulant laxative is recommended to prevent opioid-related adverse effects (e.g., constipation, fecal impaction). -01/07/21 Comment:[Resident #19's First and Last Name] has recently been diagnosed with COVID-19 and is currently not receiving anticoagulant therapy. She is on aspirin 81 mg daily. -01/07/21 Recommendation: Please consider evaluating the risk of thromboembolic complications for this resident. -01/07/21 Rationale for Recommendation: Coagulation abnormalities, particularly an increased risk in thromboembolic events, may increase the mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). An individualized assessment of both thromboembolic risk and bleeding risk should be performed when determining if prophylaxis is necessary. The optimal thromboprophylaxis and treatment regimens for COVID-19 patients are currently unknown. Interim guidance from several organizations includes providing pharmacological thromboprophylaxis for all patients hospitalized with COVID-19, unless otherwise contraindicated. For higher risk patients with COVID-19 treated in long-term care facilities, consideration of similar thromboprophylaxis may be appropriate in some patients. There was no evidence the attending physician had reviewed the pharmacist's consultation reports for 04/04/21 and 01/01/21. There was no physician response documented for either report. There was no physician signature for either report. On 01/25/22 at 4:00 PM, the DON confirmed the facility failed to ensure the attending physician reviewed the irregularities and it was not documented what, if any, action had been taken to address them. .

The ADON placed the wound care supplies still in the plastic bag on Resident # 53's bedside table, without placing a barrier or cleaning bedside table. The ADON then proceeded to get supplies ready for Resident #53's wound care by placing the supplies on the bedside table. The ADON proceeded to address Resident #53 and explained the procedure. The ADON at this time undressed Resident #53 leaving the curtain open and Resident #53 vulnerable to the view of anyone entering the room. As the ADON removed Resident #53's brief he stated Resident must have lost old dressing in brief, as there was not a dressing covering the wound.

On 01/26/22 at 11:39 AM, the DON acknowledged that infection control procedure and facility policy were not followed during dressing change. The DON stated He must have gotten nervous. We have already discussed it. d) Resident #32 Resident #32's daughter was at the nurse's station to visit with her father. The nurse told her she could not visit. An interview with Resident #32's Healthcare Decision Maker on 01/24/22 revealed she was not allowed to visit with her father today. She stated, I was told he tested positive for COVID -19 and when I asked to see him, they told me no. She stated, they did not explain to her any of the risks or benefits to her; they simply told her she could not visit with her father. She indicated she wanted to visit with him regardless. She stated he has had it two or three times and has never had any problems with it. Interview with the NHA on 01/25/22 at 11:15 am.

An observation of Resident #46's room with the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) at 1:36 pm on 01/25/22 confirmed the resident was not on TBP. In an interview prior to this observation the NHA indicated Resident #46 should be on TBP because she was in the room with Resident #20 when she tested positive for COVID-19. The NHA agreed Resident #46 was not placed on TBP and should have been when the room move occurred. During the course of the survey on 01/24/22 and 01/25/22 Resident #46 who has a diagnosis of dementia had been seen roaming around the facility and was not wearing a mask. The NHA stated it would difficult to keep her in her room due to her dementia.
