Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Bellaken Skilled Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Broken resident call lights were found in multiple rooms, including shared rooms where an LPN tested the call buttons and the outside indicator lights did not activate. Staff stated some residents used their call lights for help, but several caregivers and nurses were unaware the systems were not working, and the ADMIN said some residents did not receive backup call bells because they were thought not to use them. The facility also had incomplete maintenance documentation for several call light repairs and failed to record some broken call light issues in the maintenance log, despite policy requiring work orders to be entered for tracking.
The facility did not maintain RN coverage for eight hours daily, seven days a week, as required. Payroll data and interviews confirmed the absence of an RN on three specific dates. The DON highlighted the importance of RN presence for resident safety, as RNs have extensive training and scope of practice.
Broken Resident Call Lights and Incomplete Maintenance Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a functional resident call light system for Residents 2, 3, 4, and 5. During a concurrent observation and interview on 4/14/26, LVN2 tested the call buttons in the shared rooms for Residents 2 and 3 and for Residents 4 and 5 and stated the light outside the room should have lit up, but it did not. LVN2 stated the call lights were not working and that there were no alternative call bells in those rooms. LVN2 also stated he was not aware the call lights were not working. Interviews with staff showed that Residents 2, 3, 4, and 5 were known to use call lights for assistance, but multiple staff members were unaware the systems were broken. CNA1 stated she was the CNA for Residents 2 and 3 and that Resident 3 sometimes used her call light to ask for help, but she was not aware the call lights were not working. CNA2 stated she was the CNA for Resident 5 and that Resident 5 sometimes used the call light to ask for help, but she was not aware it was not working. LVN3 stated she knew Residents 2, 3, 4, and 5 well and was not aware of any call light issues in their rooms. The administrator stated Residents 2, 3, 4, and 5 did not receive backup call lights because those residents did not use their call lights, although the administrator also stated Resident 3 probably could use a call light. The facility also failed to maintain complete and accurate maintenance records for broken call lights affecting Residents 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 12, and 13, and for repairs affecting Residents 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Review of the Environmental & Maintenance Work Referral Sheets showed missing repair completion dates for Residents 6 through 10, and MAIN stated he did not remember when several of the call lights were fixed. MAIN and ADMIN also stated there were four rooms with call lights that did not work, but those rooms were not documented on the Environmental & Maintenance Work Referral Sheet. LVN1 stated she often called maintenance about broken items, including call lights, and did not enter them in the Maintenance Log. The facility policy stated work orders must be filled out in the Maintenance Request Log to establish priority of maintenance service.
Failure to Ensure RN Coverage 8 Hours Daily
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure Registered Nurse (RN) coverage for eight hours a day, seven days a week, as required. During a review of payroll data for the third quarter of 2023, it was confirmed that there was no RN on duty on three specific dates in June: the 3rd, 10th, and 17th. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator (ADM) corroborated the absence of RN coverage on these dates. The facility's policy mandates the employment of sufficient nursing staff to meet resident needs, including the presence of an RN for at least eight consecutive hours daily, except when waived. The DON emphasized the importance of RN coverage due to their extensive training and scope of practice, noting that resident safety could be compromised without an RN available.
