What state inspectors found

2 inspections in the last two years · 2 with findings

Oxford Springs Weatherford was inspected twice in the past two years and both visits resulted in citations. The April 2025 relicensure survey cited seven items, several of them about care rather than paperwork: a resident was using a half bed rail with nothing in the record showing the resident or their representative had been told the risks - that resident said they were not aware of any risk and had fallen out of bed a while ago, and the DON said the documentation did not exist; after the same resident returned from the hospital in December 2024 with a pelvic fracture, no significant-change assessment was done and no incident report about the fracture was ever sent to the state; monthly weights and vital signs ordered by a physician were not obtained for two residents from October 2024 through March 2025; two incident reports for falls that caused lacerations, stitches and staples were not received by the state until five days after the incidents, against a one-business-day rule; and there were assessment gaps including a missing comprehensive admission assessment and three annual assessments completed without interviewing the resident or their representative. The October 2024 visit, prompted by two complaints, cited the center for not completing criminal background checks until roughly four and two months after a medication aide and a cook were hired; the administrator said the center's own policy was not followed. Neither October complaint - one about hot water and an unreported utility outage, one about residents' belongings - resulted in a citation, and during that visit inspectors reviewed care plans, doctors' orders, progress notes, grievances, incident reports, maintenance logs and medication records and interviewed residents, staff and family representatives. OSDH said the April 2025 deficiencies represented the potential for more than minimal harm; the center's plan of correction was accepted, but the documents provided contain no revisit confirming those seven items were corrected.

• The single deficiency from the October 2024 complaint survey was corrected. OSDH accepted the center's plan of correction and, in an offsite paper review on November 4, 2024, found the facility back in substantial compliance effective October 24, 2024. This was a document review, not a return visit to the building. 10-17-2024
• A complaint that the hot water and hot water tank were not working, and that a utility outage was not reported to the state, was investigated on-site over two days (October 16-17, 2024). The only deficiency cited on that survey concerned employee background checks; nothing about hot water or utilities was cited. 10-17-2024
• A separate complaint alleging residents' belongings were not protected was investigated during the same visit, and no citation about resident property resulted. 10-17-2024
• During that complaint visit inspectors reviewed a broad set of records - care plans, doctors' orders, progress notes, daily-care tasks, grievances, incident reports, maintenance logs and medication records - and interviewed residents, staff and family representatives. 10-17-2024
