Health deficiencies cited at Fountains, The during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A CNA was reported to have spoken rudely and impatiently to a resident, denied timely toileting assistance, and displayed intimidating behavior toward another resident who reported the incident. The affected resident, who required assistance due to medical conditions and fall risk, experienced feelings of upset and disrespect as a result of these actions, which were witnessed and confirmed by another resident and a family member.
The facility failed to accurately code the MDS for two residents regarding PASRR requirements and one resident for dental concerns. A resident with a history of bipolar disorder and dementia did not have their Level II PASRR evaluation accurately reflected in the MDS. Another resident with schizophrenia and major depressive disorder also had an inaccurate MDS regarding their PASRR evaluation. Additionally, a resident with a broken tooth did not have this dental issue captured in the MDS. The facility lacked a specific policy for MDS accuracy, relying on the RAI manual.
A resident with Parkinson's disease and other health issues did not receive timely toenail care, leading to discomfort. Despite having an order for podiatry consultations, the resident's toenails were found to be painful and elongated. Staff failed to report the condition, assuming the resident was on the podiatry list. The Social Services Director and Director of Nursing were unaware of the issue, indicating a communication breakdown in the facility.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment alleged being kicked by another resident with severe cognitive impairment. The allegation was made to a CNA, who did not report it due to not witnessing the incident and believing the resident was confused. The facility's policy requires immediate reporting of abuse allegations, but the CNA failed to comply, leaving the Director of Nursing and Administrator unaware of the incident until informed by a surveyor.
A resident with a history of psychotic disorder and anxiety exited the facility unsupervised, highlighting the facility's failure to assess and implement a care plan for elopement risk. Despite the resident's attempts to leave and family concerns, no alert device was used, and the care plan lacked interventions to prevent wandering. Staff interviews confirmed the oversight, leading to the resident's unsupervised exit and law enforcement intervention.
Failure to Ensure Resident Dignity and Respect During Care
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a certified nursing assistant (CNA) was reported to have treated a resident with disrespect and denied timely assistance with toileting. According to interviews and record reviews, one resident observed the CNA speaking rudely and impatiently to another resident on two consecutive days. The CNA scolded the resident for being messy, instructed them to clean up their own mess, and refused immediate assistance to the bathroom, stating they had other tasks to complete. The resident was left waiting for help until another resident called for assistance. The affected resident expressed feeling upset and disrespected as a result of these interactions. The resident involved had been admitted with diagnoses including pneumonia, acute respiratory failure with hypoxemia, generalized muscle weakness, and difficulty walking, and required supervision and assistance with toileting and mobility due to fall risk. The incident was witnessed and reported by another resident, who also felt intimidated by the CNA's subsequent behavior. The facility's policy prohibits any form of abuse, including verbal abuse, and mandates that residents be treated with dignity and respect. Interviews with the residents and a family member confirmed the events and the emotional impact on those involved.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for PASRR and Dental Concerns
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for two residents regarding Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) requirements and one resident for dental concerns. For Resident #47, the MDS did not reflect the resident's Level II PASRR evaluation, despite the resident having a history of bipolar disorder, unspecified dementia with psychotic disturbance, and depression. The resident's PASRR Level I Screening was positive, indicating a suspected mental illness, and a Level II evaluation confirmed the need for specialized mental health services. However, this was not accurately captured in the MDS, as confirmed by the MDS Coordinator and the Director of Nursing (DON). Similarly, Resident #7's MDS failed to reflect the resident's Level II PASRR evaluation, despite a medical history of unspecified schizophrenia and major depressive disorder. The resident's PASRR Level I Screening was positive, and a Level II evaluation recommended specialized mental health services. The MDS Coordinator acknowledged the inaccuracy, and the DON expected the PASRR Level II evaluation to be accurately captured on the MDS. For Resident #16, the MDS did not accurately reflect the resident's dental status, as it failed to note obvious or likely cavities or broken natural teeth. Observations and interviews confirmed that the resident had a broken front tooth, which was not captured in the MDS. The MDS Coordinator and LVN #6 acknowledged the inaccuracy, and the DON expected the MDS to accurately reflect the resident's dental issues. The facility did not have a specific policy for MDS accuracy, relying instead on the RAI manual.
Failure to Provide Adequate Toenail Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate toenail care for Resident #7, who was reviewed for activities of daily living (ADLs). According to the facility's policy, residents should receive proper personal hygiene, including toenail care, especially for those with diabetes, which should be performed by a licensed nurse or podiatrist. Resident #7, who was admitted on 01/21/2022, had a medical history of Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and chronic pain. The resident required assistance with personal hygiene tasks and was dependent on staff for footwear. Despite having an order for podiatry consultations, the resident's toenails were found to be painful, elongated, and mycotic during a podiatric evaluation on 01/04/2025. On 03/17/2025, Resident #7 expressed concerns about the irregularity of podiatry services, stating that their toenails needed clipping. An observation on 03/19/2025 revealed that the resident's toenails had curled under the toes, causing discomfort. RN #1 confirmed the condition of the toenails and noted that the podiatrist visited the facility approximately every three months. However, there was no indication that staff had taken action to address the resident's toenail condition between podiatrist visits. LVN #2 and CNA #3, who had seen the resident's feet, did not report the condition to the appropriate personnel, assuming the resident was on the podiatry list. Interviews with the Social Services Director (SSD) and the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed a lack of communication and follow-up regarding the resident's need for podiatry services. The SSD was unaware of the resident's toenail condition and relied on staff to report such issues. The DON expected staff to alert the nurse and plan for care if a resident's toenails were causing discomfort. The Administrator also expected staff to notify the SSD to schedule a podiatrist visit if necessary. The deficiency highlights a failure in the facility's process to ensure timely and adequate toenail care for Resident #7, leading to discomfort and potential health risks for the resident.
Failure to Report Alleged Resident-to-Resident Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that staff immediately reported an allegation of abuse involving two residents. Resident #123, who has moderate cognitive impairment and a history of confabulation, alleged that they were kicked by Resident #115, who has severe cognitive impairment. The incident was reported to a CNA, but the CNA did not report the allegation to their supervisor or initiate an incident report as required by the facility's policy. The CNA did not witness the incident and chose not to report it because they believed Resident #123 was confused. The facility's policy mandates that all staff, as mandated reporters, must report any known or suspected abuse immediately by phone and follow up with a written report within two working days. However, the CNA failed to adhere to this policy, and the Director of Nursing and the Administrator were unaware of the allegation until informed by a surveyor. The Administrator expressed that allegations of abuse should be reported immediately, highlighting a lapse in the facility's adherence to its abuse reporting procedures.
Failure to Prevent Resident Elopement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an environment free from accidents and hazards by not developing and implementing a plan of care to prevent wandering or elopement for a resident. This deficiency was highlighted when the resident exited the facility unsupervised and was found on the sidewalk near the roadway outside the facility premises. The facility's policy required that all residents be assessed for the risk of wandering upon admission, quarterly, and when behavior changes. However, the resident, who had a history of psychotic disorder with delusions and adjustment disorder with anxiety, was not adequately assessed or monitored for elopement risk. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including a psychotic disorder and was noted to be agitated and attempting to leave the facility. Despite these behaviors, the resident's elopement evaluation indicated no risk, and no alert device was attached. The resident's care plan was not updated to include interventions to prevent wandering, such as an alert bracelet or room assignment away from exits. The resident's family had informed the facility of the resident's hallucinations and tendency to wander, yet these concerns were not adequately addressed in the care plan. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the resident had attempted to leave the facility multiple times, including following family members to the door. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the resident should have had a Wander Guard device after the first attempt to leave. The facility's failure to reassess the resident's risk for elopement and implement appropriate interventions led to the resident leaving the facility unsupervised, requiring intervention from law enforcement to return the resident safely.
