State Findings:
The Department of Health & Human Services conducted an inspection of the facility. The following decencies listed below were found in a public survey.
Immediately tell the resident, the resident’s doctor, and a family member of situations (injury/decline/room, etc.) that affect the resident.
Based on clinical record review, staff interviews and contract review, the facility failed to ensure one resident (#369) received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice. The facility failed to ensure communication was provided to the family when the resident had a change of condition. This failure has the potential for confusion between resident’s family and the facility.
Protect each resident from all types of abuse such as physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by anybody.
Based on clinical record review, staff interviews, facility documentation, policies and procedures, the facility failed to ensure that one resident (#520) was free from abuse of another. The deficient practice could result in other residents being abused.
Develop the complete care plan within 7 days of the comprehensive assessment; and prepared, reviewed, and revised by a team of health professionals
Based on clinical record review, staff interviews and policy review, the facility failed to ensure that two resident’s (#525, #535) care plans were updated and revised as needed.
Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Based on clinical record review, staff interviews and review of facility policy and procedure, the facility failed to ensure that one resident (#333) was provided with floor mat for fall prevention and implementation of the care plan. The deficient practice could result in preventable accidents such as falls.
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program.
Based on review of clinical records and policy, observations, and staff interviews the facility failed to ensure transmission-based precautions, particularly enhanced barrier precautions, signage and personal protective equipment were in-place to help prevent development or transmission of infections. The deficient practice could result in development or transmission of infections within the facility.
