Failure to Implement Scheduled Activities and Individualized Care Plans

Rosebud VillageRichmond, Indiana Survey Completed on 06-05-2024

Summary

The facility failed to provide their scheduled activity program on the Cottage Unit, implement and educate staff regarding residents' individualized activity care plans, and redirect a resident with a history of wandering into other residents' rooms. Observations on multiple dates revealed that scheduled group activities were not occurring as planned. For instance, on 5/31/24, no group activities were observed despite the activity schedule indicating 'Dining Room Helpers' at 11:30 a.m. Similarly, on 6/4/24, scheduled activities such as 'Baking' and 'Paint & Polish' did not take place. Interviews with family members and staff confirmed the lack of consistent activity programming, attributed to a shortage of activity assistants and recent staff turnover. The Dementia Care Director (DCD) acknowledged the issue and mentioned that the activity program on the Cottage Unit was more routine and geared towards residents with dementia, but recent staffing challenges had impacted the delivery of these activities. Resident 6's activity care plan indicated she enjoyed independent activities such as watching television, reading, listening to music, and coloring. However, during an observation on 6/4/24, Resident 6 was found lying in bed with the television on but not audible, and she expressed a need for a magazine, which was not provided. Similarly, Resident 49's activity care plan included an independent activity box with fidget toys, a deck of cards, a blanket, and a stuffed animal. However, observations revealed that the activity box was incomplete, missing the blanket and stuffed animal. Staff were unaware of the contents that should be in the activity box, indicating a lack of proper education and implementation of the care plan. Additionally, Resident 49, who had a history of wandering into other residents' rooms, was observed entering Resident 92's room on multiple occasions without staff intervention. This caused distress to Resident 92, who loudly asked Resident 49 to leave. The care plan for Resident 49 included approaches to redirect him away from others' rooms and to use snacks as a distraction, but these measures were not observed being implemented. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator confirmed the deficiencies and acknowledged the need for staff education on these issues.

Failure to Honor Dementia Resident’s Refusal and Use Individualized Behavior Approaches During Incontinence Care
D
F0744 F744: Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Short Summary

A resident with severe cognitive impairment, dementia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and profound hearing loss had care plans directing staff to use calm, individualized communication and behavioral approaches, allow time, avoid rushing, and re-approach when she became combative or refused care. Over the course of a night, multiple CNAs reported that she repeatedly refused incontinence care and became combative when approached, leading them to back off and re-approach later. Despite this history and the care plan guidance, an LPN and CNA later entered her room while she was half-asleep, pulled back her covers, and proceeded to change her wet brief as she tried to hit and kick; the LPN held her hands/arms while the CNA completed the change. The next day, staff observed that the resident was frightened, reported that a male staff member had grabbed her arm, and noted bruising on her forearm. These actions did not follow the resident’s behavior management and communication interventions and resulted in agitation, distress, resistance to care, and bruising.

Failure to Adequately Supervise and Manage Intrusive Wandering in a Dementia Resident
D
F0744 F744: Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Short Summary

A resident with dementia and severe cognitive impairment, known to wander and exhibit physical behavioral symptoms, repeatedly entered other residents’ rooms uninvited, sometimes wearing only a brief and not leaving when asked. Other residents reported having to tell the resident to leave, physically push the resident out in a wheelchair, keep a bed in a high position to prevent the resident from getting in, and waking to the resident touching a foot. Staff, including CNAs, LNs, a CMA, and Social Services, acknowledged the resident’s frequent wandering and described redirecting, offering snacks and fluids, and brief one-on-one engagement, but the resident remained constantly on the go and did not stay at activities. Despite a care plan and a dementia protocol calling for identification of support needs and adjustment of interventions, the facility failed to provide effective supervision and behavioral management to prevent ongoing intrusive wandering into other residents’ rooms.

Failure to Provide Competent Dementia Care and Appropriate Response to Combative Behavior
D
F0744 F744: Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Short Summary

A resident with moderate cognitive impairment, dementia with behavioral disturbance, and a history of combative behavior during care did not have a care plan addressing dementia-related behaviors. During incontinence care, the resident became combative, grabbing and attempting to hit CNAs. One CNA placed a pillow over the resident’s arms and leaned on it to hold the arms down while continuing care, contrary to facility training and dementia care policy, which direct staff to use redirection, step away, and notify the nurse rather than using restraint-like measures. Another CNA was initially unsure whether to report the incident, delaying immediate notification to nursing staff.

Failure to Adequately Monitor and Manage Dementia-Related Wandering and Behaviors
D
F0744 F744: Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Short Summary

A resident with dementia, agitation, and anxiety was admitted in a confused and combative state and quickly began wandering, entering other residents’ rooms, handling their belongings, and becoming physically aggressive with staff when redirected. His ordered psychotropic medication (including Risperidone) was not available on admission and was delayed until the second day, during which time he continued to roam hallways, refuse to stay in his room, and intrude into rooms of multiple residents, causing them discomfort and fear. Behavior notes and staff interviews described ongoing episodes of the resident striking staff, spitting on a nurse, lying on the floor at the nurse’s station, attempting to get into other residents’ beds, and being difficult to redirect. Residents reported feeling uncomfortable and scared when he entered their rooms, closed doors, lay on their beds, or spoke to them in a threatening manner. Despite persistent behaviors and complaints, continuous one-on-one supervision and effective monitoring were not implemented promptly, resulting in a failure to provide appropriate dementia care and services consistent with the facility’s own dementia care policy.

Failure to Implement Abuse Risk Assessments and Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Dementia-Related Behaviors
E
F0744 F744: Provide the appropriate treatment and services to a resident who displays or is diagnosed with dementia.
Short Summary

A facility failed to conduct abuse risk assessments and to implement care-planned non-pharmacological interventions for several cognitively impaired residents with dementia and behavioral disturbances. One resident with severe cognitive impairment was struck on the face by another cognitively impaired resident, yet neither had documented abuse risk assessments. Another resident with Alzheimer’s disease and behavioral disturbance repeatedly engaged in sexually inappropriate and intrusive behaviors toward staff and female residents, including grabbing buttocks and breasts, exposing genitals, entering or attempting to enter female residents’ rooms, and touching or attempting to touch female residents while seated or asleep. Documentation showed that staff responses were often limited to verbal redirection, reminders that behavior was inappropriate, monitoring, and basic assistance with clothing or hygiene, with no consistent evidence that the broader, individualized non-pharmacological interventions listed in the care plan were implemented. A severely cognitively impaired resident was also identified as an alleged victim of breast touching by this behaviorally disturbed resident. Facility staff and leadership acknowledged that the social history assessment in use was for trauma-informed care and not an abuse risk assessment, and that no specific abuse risk assessment tool was used, despite an abuse prevention policy requiring identification of residents at risk of abusing others or being victims and inclusion of appropriate interventions on care plans.
