Reader jojoakaoscar left a comment on the post "What Other Foundations are Related to the Glen Rose Medical Foundation/Medical Center? which says that in January 2008 the GRMC Nursing home was cited for 5 federal violations and 8 state (Texas) violations by DADS. Thank you for that, Jojoakaoscar. YOu're right! I looked up the latter on the DADS website. The last time a state inspection was done, that is posted here, was a year ago on January 10, 2008. | Health (federal) | Health (state) | Life Safety (federal) | Life Safety (state) | | Facility | 4 | 6 | 1 | 2 | | Texas Average | 6 | 7 | 5 | 7 |
Glen Rose Medical Center Nursing Home LLC had 5 deficiencies cited regarding federal standards. | Date | Corrected | Deficiency Cited | Residents Affected | Severity of Deficiency Least=1 ... 4=Most | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility did not 1) hire only people who have no legal history of abusing, neglecting or mistreating residents; or 2) report and investigate any acts or reports of abuse, neglect or mistreatment of residents. | Some | Minimal Harm or Potential for Actual Harm  | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility did not write and use policies that forbid mistreatment, neglect and abuse of residents and theft of residents' property. | Some | Minimal Harm or Potential for Actual Harm  | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility did not make sure that private space is available in the nursing home for resident groups or residents' families to meet. | Some | Potential for Minimal Harm  | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility did not 1) provide 3 meals daily at regular times; or 2) serve breakfast within 14 hours after dinner; or 3) offer a snack at bedtime each day. | Some | Potential for Minimal Harm  | | 01/10/2008 | 01/11/2008 | The facility failed to ensure that the required sprinkler systems have an electrically supervised main control valve so that at least a local alarm will sound when the valves are closed. | Many | Minimal Harm or Potential for Actual Harm  |
In addition, 8 violations of state standards were cited. Some of these violations may reflect deficiencies already stated as deficiencies. | Date | Corrected | Violation Cited | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility failed to have to written rules against mistreating, neglecting, and abusing residents, and mishandling residents' property. | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility failed to report immediately any alleged violations towards residents to the appropriate officials. | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility failed to provide evidence that all alleged violations are investigated and further abuse prevented. | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility failed to provide a resident or family private space if available. | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility failed to make sure that the director of food service meets DADS qualifications. | | 01/10/2008 | 01/29/2008 | The facility failed to provide snacks at bedtime each day if the resident wants them. | | 01/10/2008 | 01/10/2008 | The facility failed to make sure that the sprinkler system is monitored by the fire alarm system. | | 01/10/2008 | 01/11/2008 | The facility failed to use electrical extension cords appropriately. |
There's also a note on the page of the change from Somervell County Health Care Authority (when, presumably, will have to check, Somervell County had charge of the nursing home, to when it was given over to Gary Marks-run GRMC Nursing Home LLC. | Date | Event | Explanation | | 10/01/2003 | Change of Ownership | DADS approved a change of ownership from SOMERVELL COUNTY HEALTH CARE AUTHORITY to GLEN ROSE MEDICAL CENTER NURSING HOME LLC. |
and here's compliance history. | Date | Compliance Summary | | 07/11/2008 | On one or more inspections from 01/01/2007 to 07/11/2008, this facility was found to be out of compliance with regulations.

and a new one from 7/11/2008-8/8/2008- wonder if this one was called in to the state DADS? | 07/11/2008 | 08/08/2008 | The facility did not make sure that the nursing home area is free of dangers that cause accidents. | Some | Minimal Harm or Potential for Actual Harm  |
