Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Eden Valley Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure RN coverage for eight consecutive hours, seven days a week, as required by policy. This deficiency was noted on several days, with the DON and DSD confirming the absence of RN coverage. The Administrator was aware of the issue, which violated the facility's policy revised in August 2022.
A facility failed to limit PRN orders for psychotropic drugs to 14 days without documented rationale for a resident. The resident, with a history of anxiety and depression, received hydroxyzine frequently without a stop date or rationale for continued use. Interviews revealed a lack of oversight and awareness of the 14-day limit requirement among staff, including the MD, Pharmacist, and DON.
A facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) for a resident with a urinary catheter, as required by their policy. Despite the resident's history of urinary tract infections and the need for regular catheter care, staff were observed not wearing gowns and were unaware of the EBP protocol. Interviews revealed a lack of training and awareness among staff, and the Director of Nurses admitted the EBP protocol had not been implemented or in-serviced to staff.
Failure to Maintain Required RN Coverage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Registered Nurse (RN) was on duty for eight consecutive hours, seven days a week, as required by their policy. This deficiency was identified for five out of the 28 days reviewed. Specifically, the facility did not have an RN scheduled on December 25th and 26th, 2024, and January 11th, 12th, and 18th, 2025. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged the absence of RN coverage on these dates and confirmed the requirement for an RN to be present to supervise staff and perform specific tasks such as resident assessments, staging pressure ulcers, and administering intravenous medications. Interviews with the DON and the Director of Staff Development (DSD) confirmed the lack of RN coverage on the specified dates. The Administrator was also aware of the deficiency and expected the regulation to be followed. The facility's policy, revised in August 2022, specified that an RN should provide services for at least eight consecutive hours every 24 hours, seven days a week. Despite this policy, the facility struggled to maintain the required RN coverage, leading to the identified deficiency.
Failure to Limit PRN Psychotropic Medication Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that PRN orders for psychotropic drugs were limited to 14 days without documented rationale for a resident reviewed for unnecessary medications. Specifically, a resident had an order for hydroxyzine hydrochloric acid, an antianxiety medication, started with no stop date or documented rationale for continued use. The facility's policy indicated that PRN orders for psychotropic drugs should be limited to 14 days unless the attending physician documented a rationale for extending the order. The resident was admitted with a medical history that included congestive heart failure and depression. The resident's care plan included a focus area for mood problems related to anxiety and depression, directing staff to administer hydroxyzine as ordered. The resident's medication administration record revealed that the medication was administered 32 times over a 20-day period, indicating frequent use without a documented rationale for continuation beyond the 14-day limit. Interviews with the Medical Director, Pharmacist, and Director of Nursing revealed a lack of awareness and oversight regarding the continuation of the PRN order. The Medical Director acknowledged that PRN antianxiety medication use should be limited to 14 days and that the order should have been discontinued. The Pharmacist had not yet reviewed the resident's medication list, and the Director of Nursing admitted to missing the indicated use for anxiety, expecting a 14-day stop date for re-evaluation. The Administrator was aware of the requirement for stop dates on PRN psychotropic medications but did not ensure compliance with the regulation.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions for Resident with Urinary Catheter
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) for a resident with a urinary catheter, as required by their own policy. The policy, dated August 2022, specified that EBPs are used to prevent the spread of multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDROs) and should be applied during high-contact resident care activities. Despite this, during an observation of catheter care for the resident, no EBP sign or personal protective equipment (PPE) was present outside the resident's room, and the staff were not wearing gowns as required. The resident in question had a medical history that included hydronephrosis, sepsis due to Escherichia coli, urinary tract infection, and other related conditions. The resident's care plan indicated the need for regular catheter care with sterile technique due to a history of urinary tract infections with ESBL. However, during the observed catheter care, staff were only wearing N95 masks and gloves, and their clothing came into contact with the resident's bed linens, indicating a breach in infection control practices. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of training and awareness regarding the EBP protocol. The Director of Nurses acknowledged that the EBP protocol had not been implemented or in-serviced to staff, despite being aware of its necessity. Certified Nurse Assistants involved in the resident's care were not familiar with the EBP protocol and had not received specific infection control instructions beyond standard precautions. The Director of Staff Development confirmed that staff training on EBP had not begun until after the deficiency was identified, highlighting a gap in the facility's infection prevention and control measures.
