2025-12-01Complaint InvestigationType B · 1 finding
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation at Pine Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center on October 2, 2025, found that the facility failed to document fall-prevention interventions in care plans for two residents who were identified as being at risk for falls. One resident experienced two falls in September 2025, sustaining injuries including a lump above the eye, abrasions, and knee pain that required hospital evaluation, while the other resident had three falls between September 28 and October 1, 2025, including facial injury and a skin tear. This was cited as a repeated violation of state regulations requiring facilities to develop care plans that address identified health and safety risks.
“The facility failed to document fall prevention interventions in negotiated service agreements for 2 residents (Residents 1 and 2) who were identified as being at risk for falls or having a history of falls. Resident 1 had two documented falls resulting in injuries, and Resident 2 had multiple falls within a short timeframe, yet neither resident's NSA included fall prevention interventions.”

2025-09-01Complaint InvestigationType A · 1 finding
Plain-language summary
A complaint investigation at Pine Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center found that six residents who were care-planned to receive two showers per week did not receive any documented showers between June 29 and July 11, 2025, in violation of their negotiated service agreements. Facility staff confirmed during interviews that showers were not being provided as required and that no shower documentation existed to support that bathing assistance occurred. This was cited as an uncorrected deficiency from a prior May 2025 inspection and a recurring issue from inspections dating back to February 2023.
“The facility failed to provide bathing assistance as agreed upon in the negotiated service agreements for 6 of 6 sampled residents. All residents were scheduled to receive bathing assistance twice per week, but documentation showed no showers were provided from 06/29/2025 to 07/11/2025.”
