5670	PINE VIEW NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER	515184	400 MCKINLEY AVENUE	HARRISVILLE	WV	26362	2015-01-21	490	F	0	1	XRGM11	Based on review of facility personal files, staff interview, and facility policy review, the facility was not administered in a manner that enabled it to use its resources effectively and efficiently to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being of each resident. There was a failure to comply with Federal and State regulations, codes, and guidelines and/or facility policy. Procedures to fully meet the mandated deadline for West Virginia statewide criminal background checks were not effectively implemented. This had the potential to affect all residents. Facility census: 53 Findings include: a) A memorandum from the West Virginia Bureau for Medical Services (BMS) was sent to all West Virginia long term care providers on 2/15/13. The memorandum stated in part: At a minimum, a fingerprint-based, state level criminal investigation background check must be conducted initially by the employer prior to hire and every 3 years thereafter throughout the remainder of the employment. This policy pertains to new hires and current employees. Due to the magnitude of current employees in nursing facilities throughout West Virginia, the Bureau for Medical Services will allow the nursing facilities until (MONTH) 1, 2014 to have all current employees up to date with criminal investigation background checks. Once the current employee has completed the background check, this will start the employees on their three year rotation for fingerprint based checks. b) A citation was recommended by the survey team for failure to comply with statewide criminal background checks. This was recommended under at a level of scope and severity having the potential to affect all residents living in the facility. Review of facility policy for abuse prohibition found the facility pledged to adhere to all local, state, and federal laws and directives in an effort to protect all residents under their care. Interviews with administrative staff were conducted in the formulation of those findings and showed administration was either unaware of the current requirements or, if aware, had not yet initiated sufficient directives and instruction to their designated staff to bring the facility into compliance by the prescribed date of 3/1/14, over ten (10) months ago. c) The intent of the directive is to ensure the protection of residents from possible verbal, sexual, physical, and mental abuse. This systemic failure to recognize the need for and develop a plan to implement the directive of which administration had, or should have had knowledge represents a failure to ensure that protection.	2018-09-01
