Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Progressive Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices, as observed in the cleaning of resident rooms and glucometers. A housekeeper did not follow manufacturer guidelines for disinfectant contact times and failed to perform hand hygiene between tasks. Additionally, an LPN used alcohol prep pads instead of the recommended disinfectant wipes for glucometers, not allowing the required contact time. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness of proper cleaning procedures, indicating systemic issues in infection control adherence.
A facility failed to protect three residents from physical abuse by a CNA, who allegedly mishandled them during care. One resident reported being hit on the ear, another was pushed against a wall, and a third was left unattended on a commode. The facility's investigation was deemed unsubstantiated, but inconsistencies in documentation and assessment were noted, and staff lacked recent abuse prevention training.
A facility failed to develop a baseline care plan within 48 hours for a resident admitted with a cervical vertebra fracture and a wrist fracture. The resident, who was cognitively intact, did not receive necessary care instructions related to his cervical collar and wrist brace. Staff interviews revealed that the facility had not been creating baseline care plans, leaving CNAs without essential information for providing effective care. The issue was systemic, as the facility only began addressing it during the survey.
A facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident prescribed Xarelto for atrial fibrillation. The resident, with chronic respiratory failure and anxiety disorder, did not have a care plan addressing the anticoagulant's use or side effects. The ADON admitted to missing the order and was responsible for ensuring a care plan was in place.
A resident admitted for rehabilitation with a fractured neck and wrist did not receive appropriate care due to the facility's failure to obtain necessary physician's orders and develop a baseline care plan. The resident was not informed about follow-up appointments or when braces could be removed, and a CNA removed the cervical collar without orders. The facility relied on verbal communication instead of documenting care needs in the EMR.
The facility failed to provide timely vision and hearing services to two residents, resulting in unmet care needs. One resident, with glaucoma and dementia, did not receive new hearing aids or a vision appointment despite approval and requests. Another resident, with chronic respiratory failure, had not seen an eye doctor since admission, despite broken glasses. Staff interviews revealed a lack of effective management in coordinating these services.
A resident continued to receive baclofen and guaifenesin despite the pharmacist's recommendations and physician's orders to discontinue them. The facility failed to act on these recommendations in a timely manner, resulting in the resident receiving additional doses of the medications. The oversight occurred due to missed recommendations during a period when a nurse on light duty was assisting with medication regimen reviews.
Inadequate Infection Control Practices in Resident Rooms and Glucometer Cleaning
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection control program, as evidenced by improper cleaning and sanitization practices in resident rooms. Observations revealed that a housekeeper did not wear gloves on both hands during cleaning, failed to perform hand hygiene between tasks and glove changes, and did not ensure that disinfectant surfaces remained visibly wet for the required contact time as per manufacturer guidelines. Additionally, the housekeeper used the same mop head for different areas of a shared room and did not clean the inside of the toilet bowl, compromising the sanitary conditions of the resident environment. Further deficiencies were noted in the cleaning of glucometers, where a licensed practical nurse (LPN) used alcohol prep pads instead of the recommended Super Sani Cloth Wipes for disinfection. The LPN did not allow the glucometer to remain wet for the required two minutes, as specified by the manufacturer's instructions. Interviews with staff, including another LPN and a registered nurse (RN), revealed a lack of awareness regarding the proper cleaning and disinfection procedures for glucometers, indicating a systemic issue in adhering to infection control protocols. The director of nursing (DON) and the nursing home administrator (NHA) acknowledged the deficiencies in the cleaning practices for glucometers, noting that each resident had their own device, but the correct disinfection method was not consistently followed. The DON admitted uncertainty about the recommended dry times for the disinfectant wipes, further highlighting the gaps in staff training and adherence to infection control guidelines. These lapses in infection prevention and control measures posed a risk of disease transmission within the facility.
Failure to Protect Residents from Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect three residents from physical abuse by a certified nursing assistant (CNA). The incidents involved a CNA who allegedly mishandled residents during care, resulting in physical discomfort and fear. Resident #10 reported that the CNA hit her ear while placing a pillow under her head, and she was found to have redness on her right ear and face. Resident #40 alleged that the CNA pushed her too hard, causing her to hit her hip on the wall, and also yelled at her roommate, Resident #35. Resident #35 was reportedly left on the commode by the CNA and had to get herself dressed. The facility's internal investigation into these allegations was deemed unsubstantiated, as they concluded there were no willful acts of physical abuse. However, the investigation revealed inconsistencies in the documentation and assessment of the residents involved. For instance, there was no documentation of a skin assessment for Resident #40 following her allegation of physical abuse, and there were no progress notes related to the allegations for Residents #40 and #35. Interviews with staff and residents indicated a lack of recent training on abuse prevention, and the facility's policy on abuse prevention was not fully adhered to. The facility's policy required thorough documentation and investigation of abuse allegations, but the investigation was not documented in the residents' charts, and there was a lack of follow-up on the physical assessments of the residents involved.
Failure to Implement Baseline Care Plan for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission for Resident #110, who was admitted for rehabilitation with a displaced fracture of the first cervical vertebra and a nondisplaced fracture of the left wrist. The resident was cognitively intact and required specific care instructions related to his hard cervical collar and wrist brace. However, there was no evidence in the resident's electronic or paper medical records that a baseline or comprehensive care plan had been developed to address these needs. Observations and interviews revealed that the resident was not informed about his medical appointments or the management of his cervical collar and wrist brace. A certified nursing aide (CNA) provided care without a baseline care plan, relying on verbal information from another CNA. This lack of a formal care plan left the CNA without crucial details necessary for providing effective care, such as whether the cervical collar could be removed during showers. Interviews with staff, including a registered nurse (RN) and the assistant director of nursing (ADON), confirmed that the facility had not been developing baseline care plans for residents. The ADON and the nursing home administrator (NHA) acknowledged that the absence of a baseline care plan left staff without essential healthcare information needed to provide person-centered care. The facility had only begun creating baseline care plans on the day of the survey, indicating a systemic issue in the admission process.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plan for Anticoagulant Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident who was prescribed an anticoagulant medication, Xarelto, for atrial fibrillation. The resident, aged 75, was admitted with diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, atrial fibrillation, and anxiety disorder. Despite being cognitively intact and dependent on staff for certain activities of daily living, the resident's care plan did not address the use of the anticoagulant medication or its potential side effects. The assistant director of nursing (ADON) acknowledged during an interview that residents on anticoagulants should be monitored for complications on every shift and should have a care plan in place. The ADON admitted to missing the order for the anticoagulant medication and was responsible for ensuring that a care plan was established and for educating nurses on any changes to the plan of care.
Failure to Provide Appropriate Care for Resident with Fractures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and care for a resident, identified as Resident #110, who was admitted for rehabilitation following a hospital stay. The resident had a displaced fracture of the first cervical vertebra and a nondisplaced fracture of the left wrist. Upon admission, the facility did not obtain necessary physician's orders regarding the removal of the resident's hard cervical collar for skin checks and showers, nor did they obtain orders for the weight-bearing status of the resident's fractured left wrist. Additionally, the facility did not follow up on scheduling the resident's neurosurgeon/orthopedic doctor's appointment and CT scan. During an interview, Resident #110 expressed that he had not been informed about when he would see his orthopedic doctor, get an x-ray/CT scan, or when his neck and wrist braces could be removed. The resident reported that a CNA had removed his cervical collar during a shower, despite the lack of physician's orders permitting this action. A review of the resident's hospital discharge summary indicated the need for follow-up with specific physicians, but the facility's records showed no evidence of a baseline or comprehensive care plan addressing the resident's needs related to his cervical collar and fractured wrist. Interviews with the nursing home administrator (NHA) and the director of nursing (DON) revealed that there was no care plan documented for Resident #110 because they typically completed baseline care plans by the fifth day after admission. They relied on verbal communication to relay important information about residents' care needs, which was not comprehensive. The NHA and DON acknowledged that the resident's care information, such as weight-bearing status, was not documented in the electronic medical record (EMR), leading to a lack of proper communication and care planning for the resident's immediate needs.
Failure to Provide Timely Vision and Hearing Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents received timely access to necessary vision and hearing services, as required by their care plans. Resident #7, who has glaucoma and dementia, was observed without her hearing aids and wearing glasses that did not aid her vision adequately. Despite being approved for new hearing aids through the PETI process, there was no documentation of the hearing aids being ordered or received. Additionally, there was no record of a scheduled vision appointment, even though the resident expressed difficulty seeing her television and was due for an eye doctor visit. Resident #40, who has chronic respiratory failure and anxiety disorder, had not been seen by an eye doctor since her admission, despite her glasses being broken prior to admission. The resident had expressed the need for an eye examination to staff members, but there was no documentation of a scheduled appointment. The care plan for Resident #40 indicated the need for visual aids and regular eye doctor visits, yet these were not provided in a timely manner. Interviews with staff revealed that the social services director, who was responsible for coordinating ancillary services, was on leave, and the business office manager was covering in her absence. The facility's process for arranging these services was not effectively managed, leading to delays in providing necessary care for the residents. The nursing home administrator acknowledged the oversight and the need for residents to be seen promptly when they request services.
Failure to Discontinue Medications as Recommended by Pharmacist
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to act upon the pharmacist's recommendations in a timely manner for a resident, resulting in the resident receiving additional doses of medications that were supposed to be discontinued. The pharmacist had recommended discontinuing baclofen and guaifenesin for the resident, as these medications had not been administered for some time. The physician had signed orders to discontinue these medications, but the facility did not follow through with these orders promptly. The resident, who was 79 years old and had diagnoses including a right humeral fracture, bipolar disorder, and chronic pain, continued to receive baclofen and guaifenesin despite the discontinuation orders. The resident received 19 additional doses of baclofen over a period of more than four months after the discontinuation order was signed. Similarly, the resident received four additional doses of guaifenesin more than a month after the discontinuation order was signed. Interviews with the facility's staff revealed that the assistant director of nursing (ADON) was responsible for receiving and processing the pharmacist's recommendations. However, during the time a nurse on light duty was assisting with these tasks, the recommendations were missed. The usual process of follow-up emails from the pharmacy did not occur, leading to the oversight. The issue was only discovered during a survey when the facility reviewed the pharmacist's medication regimen reviews for the previous six months.
