Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Apple Rehab Farmington Valley during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with cognitive impairment and dysphagia, requiring a mechanically altered diet and supervision, was able to independently access a regular sandwich from an unlocked refrigerator in a common area. The resident consumed the sandwich without staff assistance, resulting in a choking incident that required an LPN to perform the Heimlich maneuver. Staff interviews confirmed the refrigerator was accessible to residents and that supervision protocols were not sufficient to prevent the incident.
A resident with urinary retention and an indwelling catheter experienced two incidents where the Foley catheter was removed. In the first instance, a nurse reinserted the catheter without a physician order, contrary to existing instructions. In the second, a new order to reinsert the catheter if the resident did not void lacked a specified time frame for staff to wait before reinsertion. Facility staff acknowledged these omissions, and no policy was provided to guide physician orders.
A resident with dementia and type 2 diabetes sustained second-degree burns after spilling hot tea served from a break room coffee machine. The facility lacked a policy on safe serving temperatures, and the machine's water was significantly hotter than the standard practice. The Director of Nursing was unaware of the use of this machine for resident beverages.
Failure to Prevent Resident Access to Restricted Food Resulting in Choking Event
Penalty
Summary
A resident with diagnoses including Parkinson's disease, dementia, dysphagia, and depression, and a moderate cognitive impairment, was identified as requiring a mechanically altered diet and supervision during meals. The resident's care plan specified the need for a minced and moist diet, set-up assistance, and supervision for dietary intake due to impaired decision-making skills and risk for complications related to dysphagia. Despite these documented needs, the resident was able to access the nursing unit's refrigerator, which was located in an open alcove accessible to residents, staff, and visitors, and obtain a regular consistency sandwich without staff assistance. Multiple nursing notes indicated that the resident had previously been observed entering the refrigerator and seeking food, and staff had provided snacks or redirected the resident on those occasions. However, on the day of the incident, the resident was not observed until after they had accessed and consumed part of a sandwich independently. The resident subsequently experienced a choking event, was found holding their throat and unable to respond verbally, and required the Heimlich maneuver to clear the airway obstruction caused by turkey meat from the sandwich. Interviews with staff and facility leadership confirmed that the refrigerator was routinely stocked with snacks and sandwiches and was accessible to residents. Staff acknowledged that the resident required supervision when out of bed and that the expectation was for residents to be visualized every two hours unless otherwise ordered. The facility did not have a policy regarding supervision of residents, and the lack of adequate supervision allowed the resident to obtain and consume a restricted food item, resulting in a choking incident.
Incomplete Medical Record and Missing Physician Orders for Catheter Management
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when the facility failed to maintain a complete and accurate medical record for a resident with a history of urinary retention, neuromuscular bladder dysfunction, and an indwelling catheter. After an unwitnessed fall, the resident was found to have pulled out their Foley catheter. Despite a standing physician order not to replace the catheter if it was pulled out, the charge nurse reinserted a new catheter without a documented physician order authorizing this action. RN #1 acknowledged that an order should have been written after consulting with the APRN, but this was not done, and no explanation was provided for the omission. Additionally, when the resident's catheter was again found to be out, a new physician order was obtained to reinsert the catheter if the resident did not void, but the order did not specify the length of time staff should wait before reinsertion. Nursing staff and facility leadership recognized that such orders typically include a specific time frame, but the order in this instance lacked that detail. The facility was unable to provide a policy regarding physician orders, and interviews did not clarify why the required time frame was omitted from the order.
Failure to Monitor Hot Beverage Temperature Leads to Resident Burns
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to monitor the temperature of a hot water source before serving a hot beverage to a resident, resulting in the resident sustaining second-degree burns. The resident, who had diagnoses including dementia and type 2 diabetes mellitus, was independent with eating after setup but required staff assistance with activities of daily living. On the morning of the incident, a nurse aide provided the resident with hot tea using water from a coffee machine in the staff break room, which did not have a built-in temperature monitor. The resident spilled the tea on their right leg, causing burns that required hospital evaluation and subsequent wound care. The facility's Director of Food Service confirmed that there was no policy indicating when a liquid is too hot to serve, and the standard practice was to serve hot liquids between 150 to 160 degrees. However, the break room machine's water temperature was found to be 182 degrees, cooling to 170 degrees after two minutes. The Director of Nursing was unaware that staff were using the break room machine for resident beverages. The facility's policy on dining did not address testing or acceptable temperature ranges for hot liquids, contributing to the incident.
