Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Siesta Key Health And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow its own policy and federal requirements to return personal funds within 30 days after a resident’s death or discharge. One deceased resident’s representative reported making multiple in‑person visits and numerous phone calls over several weeks to recover more than $1,800 from the resident’s account, with the refund not issued until months later. In addition, two discharged residents had remaining account balances that were not refunded within the expected 30‑day period, and one resident’s balance continued to accrue without any refund being processed. The Regional Director of Business Office Services and the Administrator both acknowledged that refunds were not completed within the required timeframe.
The facility failed to maintain personal hygiene for three residents requiring assistance with ADLs. A resident with dementia had long, dirty fingernails and a strong urine odor, despite care plan instructions. Another resident with bipolar disorder was unshaven and had dirty nails, with staff noting occasional refusal of care. A third resident with hemiparesis had long, dirty nails, relying on a family member for care. Staff interviews revealed inconsistencies in nail care provision.
A resident with Essential Hypertension was administered Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Lisinopril despite physician orders to hold these medications if systolic blood pressure was below 140. The MAR showed multiple instances over three months where the medications were given outside the specified parameters. Interviews with LPNs, the DON, and the attending physician confirmed the expectation to hold medications when parameters were not met, but this was not followed.
A resident with Essential Hypertension was administered Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Lisinopril multiple times despite having a systolic blood pressure below the physician-ordered threshold. The Medication Regimen Review failed to identify these irregularities over three months. Interviews with staff, including the DON and Consultant Pharmacist, revealed expectations for adherence to parameters and communication of issues, which were not met.
Failure to Timely Refund Resident Personal Funds After Death or Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to return residents’ personal funds within 30 days of death or discharge, as required by its own policy and federal requirements. The facility’s “Refund of Overpayments” policy states that within 30 days of a resident’s death, the resident’s personal funds and a final accounting will be made available to the resident’s representative or probate. For one deceased resident, the clinical record showed an admission and subsequent death, with a documented account balance of $1,826.15 at the time of death. The resident’s Power of Attorney reported that while the resident was in the facility she had about $1,800 or more in her account, and that after her death he went to the facility multiple times and called about 20 times seeking the refund, but no one would talk to him. He stated he did not receive the refund until several months later. The Regional Director of Business Office Services confirmed the balance at the time of death, acknowledged there was no documentation that the facility contacted the family about the refund, and confirmed the refund was not issued until well beyond the 30‑day timeframe. The deficiency also involved two discharged residents whose personal funds were not refunded within 30 days of discharge. For one discharged resident, the facility’s Resident Fund Statement showed an ending balance of $116.46 as of a specific date, and the Regional Director of Business Office Services verified the discharge date and that the refund had not yet been issued. For another discharged resident, the Resident Fund Statement showed an ending balance of $221.18 as of a specific date, and the Regional Director verified the discharge date and that the resident’s account balance had increased to $381.36 as of the survey date, with no refund yet issued. In interviews, the Regional Director of Business Office Services and the Administrator both stated that the facility’s expectation is that refunds for deceased or discharged residents are completed within 30 days, confirming that this did not occur for these three residents.
Failure to Maintain Personal Hygiene for Dependent Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary services to maintain personal hygiene for three residents who were dependent on staff assistance for activities of daily living (ADL). Resident #12, who had severe cognitive impairment due to dementia, was observed with very long and dirty fingernails and a strong body odor of urine. Despite the care plan instructions to check and clean nails on bath days, observations over several days showed no improvement in the resident's hygiene. Resident #25, with moderate cognitive impairment and a history of bipolar disorder, was also found with long, dirty fingernails and unshaven. The care plan specified assistance with grooming and hygiene, including scheduled shower days, but the resident was observed in the same unkempt condition over multiple days. A CNA noted that the resident sometimes refused care, but there was no evidence of attempts to address the hygiene issues. Resident #68, who had intact cognitive skills but required assistance due to hemiparesis, was observed with long, dirty fingernails. The resident reported that his brother usually trimmed his nails, and there was no indication that staff had attempted to provide the necessary nail care. Interviews with staff revealed inconsistencies in the provision of nail care, with some staff unaware of their responsibilities or unable to perform the care due to time constraints.
Failure to Follow Blood Pressure Medication Parameters
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer medications in accordance with professional standards of practice for a resident diagnosed with Essential Hypertension. The physician's orders specified that the medications Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Lisinopril should be held if the systolic blood pressure was below 140. However, a review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for May, June, and July 2024 revealed that these medications were administered multiple times when the resident's systolic blood pressure was below the specified parameter. Specifically, the medications were given 17 times in May, 18 times in June, and 11 times in July when the blood pressure was below 140. Interviews with staff, including LPNs and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that the expectation was to hold the medication if the blood pressure was outside the specified parameters. The attending physician and Consultant Pharmacist also expressed that they did not notice the deviations from the prescribed parameters during their reviews. The facility's policy on medication administration required obtaining and recording vital signs and holding medications if they were outside the physician's prescribed parameters, which was not adhered to in this case.
Failure to Monitor Blood Pressure Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the medication regimen review identified medications administered without adequate monitoring for a resident diagnosed with Essential Hypertension. The resident was prescribed Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Lisinopril, with specific instructions to hold these medications if the systolic blood pressure was below 140. However, over the course of three months, these medications were administered multiple times when the resident's systolic blood pressure was below the specified threshold. The Medication Regimen Review conducted during this period did not identify any irregularities, despite the documented instances of non-compliance with the physician's orders. Interviews with facility staff, including an LPN, the DON, the attending physician, and the Consultant Pharmacist, revealed a lack of adherence to the physician's parameters and a failure to notice the irregularities during the medication reviews. The DON and the attending physician both expressed expectations that the nurses would follow the specified parameters and communicate any issues. The Consultant Pharmacist admitted to not noticing the administration of medications outside the specified parameters during his reviews. The facility's Administrator also expected the Consultant Pharmacist to notify the facility of any such issues in a timely manner.
