Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Fort Walton Rehabilitation Center, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two resident bathrooms were found with holes in the walls, peeling paint, plaster residue, and a greenish biofilm buildup on faucets. Despite a process for submitting maintenance requests, no work orders had been placed for these issues, and both the maintenance staff and Administrator acknowledged the unacceptable conditions.
A resident with bilateral femur fractures and DVT was found to be receiving Eliquis instead of Lovenox, despite medical records and provider notes indicating Lovenox should be continued until hemoglobin levels stabilized. Nursing staff and the NP acknowledged the discrepancy between the documented orders and the medication administered, resulting in unclear and inaccurate medical record documentation.
Failure to Maintain Safe and Clean Resident Bathrooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and homelike environment in two of four bathrooms observed in Hallway 200. Observations revealed holes in the wall adjacent to the television and scratches behind the bed in one room, as well as peeling paint, a hole in the bathroom wall near the sink, and visible plaster residue on the sink surface in another room. Additionally, a greenish hard biofilm buildup was noted on the bathroom faucet. Photographic evidence was obtained to document these conditions. Interviews with the Maintenance Technician and Maintenance Director confirmed that the wall and faucet conditions had developed over an extended period and were not acceptable. Both acknowledged the need for corrective action, and the Maintenance Director indicated that repair priorities are determined in consultation with the Administrator. Despite ongoing renovations and a process for staff to submit work orders, a review of the 200 Hall Work Orders showed that no work orders had been placed for the crumbling wall or the biofilm buildup on the bathroom faucet in the affected rooms. The Administrator also acknowledged the deteriorating conditions and agreed that the environment was not in good repair.
Failure to Ensure Accurate Medication Documentation and Administration for Anticoagulation Therapy
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when the facility failed to ensure that a resident's medical record was clear and accurately documented in accordance with accepted professional standards and practices. The resident, who had recently suffered bilateral femur fractures and was admitted following surgery, was observed with hard braces on both legs and reported pain managed with Tylenol. The resident also stated she had been diagnosed with bilateral Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and was taking Eliquis, an anticoagulant, for this condition. Review of her medical record confirmed the DVT diagnosis and documented a plan from the orthopedic surgeon to use Lovenox for DVT prophylaxis, with a switch to Eliquis planned once her hemoglobin stabilized. However, progress notes from the nurse practitioner indicated that Lovenox should be continued, and Eliquis should only be started when hemoglobin levels were between 8.5 and 9. Despite these documented plans, the Medication Administration Record showed that the resident was receiving Eliquis and not Lovenox. Nursing staff, upon review, acknowledged the discrepancy between the medication orders and what was being administered. The nurse practitioner confirmed in an interview that the resident should have been on Lovenox until her hemoglobin stabilized, which had not yet occurred according to recent lab results. This inconsistency in documentation and medication administration led to the deficiency cited in the report.
