Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Blossoms At Prescott Rehab & Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, thyroid disorder, hyponatremia, and other conditions was admitted on multiple psychotropic and medical medications, but from admission until elopement the next day received only one documented dose of a hyponatremia medication. The care plan called for administration and monitoring of anxiety and schizophrenia medications, yet the MAR showed 15 missed doses of mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, thyroid and hypertension medications, an NSAID, a vitamin, and a medication for extrapyramidal symptoms, with reasons such as refusal and medications unavailable. An LPN reported medications were not yet delivered, another LPN stated medications arrived after the evening med pass and was unsure about using the Pyxis, while the drug manifest showed several medications were received that evening and leadership confirmed some psychotropic and anxiety medications were available in the Pyxis and that facility policy required administration within one hour of scheduled times.
The facility failed to label food items with accurate use-by dates, maintain sanitary conditions, and ensure safe food preparation. Observations included unlabeled cereals and meats, uncovered salad dressings, and wet dishes stacked improperly. The facility lacked policies on food storage and cross-contamination, contributing to these deficiencies.
A resident requiring total care was subject to improper infection control practices during peri care. CNAs failed to perform hand hygiene and change gloves appropriately, and reused wipes improperly. The resident was also found wearing two briefs, contrary to guidelines, increasing infection risk. Facility policies lacked specific guidance on these practices.
A resident with moderate mental impairment and requiring total care was unable to reach their call light, which was repeatedly found clipped to a privacy curtain at the foot of the bed. Despite staff training to ensure call lights are within reach, the issue persisted, and the facility lacked a specific policy on call light placement.
The facility failed to correctly code the MDS Assessments for two residents with serious mental illness, affecting their continuity of care. One resident with delusional disorders and dementia was incorrectly marked as not requiring Level II PASARR, despite a state letter indicating no need for specialized services. Another resident with schizophrenia and intellectual disabilities was also miscoded, with recent confirmation of their Level II PASARR requirement. The MDS Coordinator acknowledged these errors, stressing the importance of accurate coding for proper care.
A facility failed to re-admit a resident with Autistic Disorder after hospitalization, despite no evidence of harmful behavior. Initially planning for the resident's return, the facility later decided they could not care for him, citing a lack of capability due to his autism. Staff interviews confirmed the resident did not harm others, and the facility lacked a policy for re-admission after hospitalization.
Failure to Administer Prescribed Medications to Newly Admitted Resident
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure a newly admitted resident with schizophrenia and multiple comorbidities received prescribed medications according to physician orders and facility policy. The resident was admitted with active diagnoses including schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, moderate intellectual disabilities, thyroid disorder, and hyponatremia, and had a hospital discharge medication list that included medications for extrapyramidal and movement disorders, mood stabilization, antipsychotic treatment, thyroid replacement, hypertension, hyponatremia, sleep, and a vitamin. The admission MDS showed the resident was cognitively intact, and the care plan initiated the day after admission included interventions to administer anxiety and schizophrenia medications, educate the resident about toxic symptoms, and monitor for reactions and side effects, as well as interventions related to elopement risk and placement on a secured unit. On the day following admission, the Medication Administration Record documented that 15 scheduled doses of various medications were not administered. For multiple medications, including mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, thyroid medication, hypertension medication, an NSAID, a vitamin, and a medication for extrapyramidal and movement disorders, the MAR entries showed reasons such as “drug refused,” “meds unavailable,” or “drug not available.” Only one dose of a medication for hyponatremia at 4:00 PM on that day was documented as administered from the time of admission until the resident eloped the next day. Nursing staff interviews revealed that one LPN stated the resident did not receive medications on the day shift because they had not yet been delivered from the pharmacy, and another LPN stated that medications were delivered after the nighttime medication pass and was unsure whether any of the resident’s medications could have been obtained from the Pyxis. Facility records and leadership interviews further clarified the sequence of events. The drug manifest log showed that several of the resident’s medications, including those for hypertension, schizophrenia, extrapyramidal and movement disorders, mood stabilization, antipsychotic treatment, thyroid replacement, and an NSAID, were signed as received from the pharmacy at 8:40 PM on the day after admission. The DON confirmed that the omitted doses and rationales documented on the MAR were accurate and reiterated that facility policy required medications to be administered within one hour before or after the scheduled time. The Administrator confirmed that only one dose of any prescribed medication was administered from admission until the resident’s elopement and stated that certain psychotropic and anxiety medications were available in the Pyxis, but she could not determine why the LPN did not access them or why medications were not administered after pharmacy delivery.
Deficiencies in Food Safety and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food items were labeled with accurate use-by dates, which is crucial for maintaining food safety. During observations, it was noted that 31 bowls of dry cereal did not have a use-by date, and the Dietary Manager was unable to provide information on when the cereals were opened or their accurate use-by dates. Additionally, an unopened package of sausage links and several other meat products in the freezer lacked use-by dates, indicating a lack of proper food labeling practices. The facility also did not maintain professional standards for sanitary conditions and equipment, leading to potential cross-contamination. Observations revealed that salad dressing cups were left uncovered in the refrigerator, and grease in the deep fryer was exposed to the open kitchen. Furthermore, pre-poured glasses of tea and juice were stored next to a dirty trash can, and clean dishes were left to dry under a fan that was blowing dust particles, compromising their cleanliness. The facility's food preparation processes were found to be unsafe, with several instances of wet dishes being stacked, which can lead to bacterial growth. The Dietary Manager and aides acknowledged the importance of allowing dishes to dry completely before stacking, yet wet dishes were observed in various areas of the kitchen. Additionally, the facility lacked a food storage policy or a policy concerning cross-contamination, as confirmed by the administrator, which further contributed to the deficiencies observed during the survey.
Infection Control Deficiency in Peri Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper infection prevention and control practices during peri care for a resident with a history of stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and type II diabetes, who requires total care. Observations revealed that two CNAs did not perform hand hygiene or change gloves appropriately while providing peri care to the resident. Specifically, CNA #3 handed clean wipes to CNA #4 without changing gloves after assisting in removing the resident's wet brief, and CNA #4 reused wipes improperly by folding them and using them multiple times on different areas. Additionally, the resident was found to be wearing two briefs, which is against the manufacturer's guidelines and increases the risk of infection. The facility's policies and in-service training were reviewed and found lacking in specific guidance on hand hygiene and peri care protocols. The Director of Nursing confirmed that staff should use one wipe in one direction and change gloves to prevent cross-contamination. The DON also stated that residents should not wear more than one brief at a time. The manufacturer's instructions and website also indicated that double briefing is a common mistake that can lead to increased risk of skin breakdown due to heat and moisture retention.
Failure to Provide Accessible Call Light for Resident Requiring Total Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident requiring total care had a call light within reach to call for assistance. This deficiency was identified during a survey involving a resident with a history of stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and type II diabetes, who was assessed to have moderate mental impairment and required total care. Despite an in-service training instructing staff to keep call lights within residents' reach, the call light for this resident was repeatedly found clipped to a privacy curtain at the foot of the bed, out of the resident's reach. On multiple occasions, the resident expressed inability to access the call light, and staff were observed not promptly addressing the issue. A CNA delayed providing the call light, and an LPN had to search for it, finding it clipped high on the curtain. Both the LPN and the DON confirmed that the call light should be within reach. The facility lacked a specific policy on call light placement, as confirmed by the Administrator.
Incorrect MDS Coding for Residents with Serious Mental Illness
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessments were coded correctly for two residents with serious mental illness, impacting the continuity of care. Resident #5, diagnosed with delusional disorders, psychotic disorder, and dementia with mood disorder, was incorrectly coded on the MDS as not requiring a Level II Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR). Despite a letter from the state authority indicating no need for specialized services beyond the nursing facility's capabilities, the MDS Coordinator acknowledged the coding error, emphasizing the importance of accurate MDS assessments for optimal resident care. The facility's policy mandates that all MDS information must reflect the resident's status at the time of assessment, and individuals completing the assessment must certify its accuracy. Similarly, Resident #14, with a diagnosis of seizure disorder, schizophrenia, depression, and mild intellectual disabilities, was also incorrectly coded on the MDS regarding PASARR Level II requirements. A letter from the state authority dated 2013 indicated no PASARR was required, but a recent communication confirmed the resident still required Level II PASARR. The MDS Coordinator admitted to the coding error, highlighting the necessity of correct coding to ensure proper care. The care plan for Resident #14 included diagnoses of personality and behavioral disorders, depressive episodes, and paranoid schizophrenia, underscoring the need for accurate documentation to support appropriate care planning.
Failure to Re-admit Resident After Hospitalization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident, diagnosed with Autistic Disorder, was able to return to the facility following a hospitalization. The resident was initially transferred to a psychiatric unit due to behaviors, as noted in a progress note. However, a late entry note revealed that the facility informed the hospital that they would not be accepting the resident back. Interviews with the Operational Manager and the Administrator indicated that the facility initially planned for the resident's return but later decided they could not care for him. Staff interviews revealed that the resident did not exhibit harmful behaviors towards others or himself. The Licensed Practical Nurse and Certified Nursing Assistant both indicated that the resident had not harmed anyone. Despite this, the facility decided not to allow the resident to return, citing a lack of capability to care for him due to his autism. The facility did not have a policy in place for permitting a resident to return after hospitalization, contributing to the deficiency.
