Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Sunrise Health & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain resident dignity during dining and care, as several residents were served meals in disposable dining ware despite not being on isolation, and a CNA stood over a resident while feeding her. Additionally, a resident reported being left in soiled conditions, experiencing disrespectful communication, and having her dietary preferences ignored, indicating a lack of adherence to the facility's policies on dignity and respect.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple health conditions was not provided necessary assistance with eating, leading to untouched meal trays for extended periods. Observations and staff interviews revealed inconsistencies in the level of assistance provided, despite documentation indicating the resident required total assistance with most meals.
Two residents experienced significant weight loss due to the facility's failure to monitor and address their nutritional needs. One resident, with severe cognitive impairment, did not receive prescribed nutritional supplements despite significant weight loss. Another resident, with dementia, lost 26 pounds in a month without weekly weight monitoring as ordered. The facility's policies on nutritional management and weight monitoring were not effectively implemented, leading to inadequate responses to significant weight changes.
A resident with muscle wasting and diabetes experienced delays in receiving prescribed pain medication, leading to inadequate pain management. Despite orders for Oxycodone every 8 hours, the medication was often administered 2-3 hours late, as confirmed by audit reports and resident complaints. The facility's pain management policy was not followed, resulting in a deficiency.
Two residents in an LTC facility experienced dissatisfaction with meals due to the facility's failure to accommodate their food preferences. One resident, with underweight and muscle wasting, frequently received meals she disliked, while another, with chronic kidney disease, was not provided with Hispanic dishes he preferred. The registered dietitian did not effectively document or communicate these preferences, leading to meals that did not align with the residents' needs.
A resident with multiple health conditions was on a fluid restriction of 1000 ml per day, but the LTC facility failed to communicate and document this order effectively. The resident, who speaks Spanish, was not informed about the restriction, and staff were unaware or did not document the fluid intake properly. Observations showed the resident received more fluids than allowed, and the MAR and TAR records were not updated, indicating a deficiency in care and communication.
A resident with multiple diagnoses, including paraplegia and quadriplegia, developed a stage III sacral wound due to the facility's failure to assess and identify the pressure ulcer in a timely manner. Despite being at moderate risk for pressure ulcers, the resident's sacral area was not documented or assessed by nursing staff until eleven days after admission. The facility's policy on pressure injury prevention was not followed, leading to the deficiency.
Failure to Maintain Resident Dignity During Dining and Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to treat residents with dignity during dining observations, as evidenced by the use of disposable dining ware for residents who were no longer on isolation. Residents #101, #176, and #412 were observed being served meals in Styrofoam containers with plastic utensils, despite not being on isolation. Staff interviews revealed that the kitchen staff had not updated the dining ware for these residents after they were taken off isolation, indicating a lapse in communication and adherence to the facility's policy on promoting resident dignity. Additionally, Resident #162 was observed being fed by a CNA who stood over her, despite a chair being available to sit at eye level, which is against the facility's policy for maintaining dignity during mealtimes. The CNA's actions were noted to be disrespectful, as she referred to the resident as "a feeder" in front of her. This behavior demonstrates a lack of adherence to the facility's guidelines on treating residents with respect and dignity during meals. Resident #135 reported multiple instances of neglect and disrespect, including being left in soiled conditions for extended periods, staff entering her room without permission, and being spoken to in a disrespectful manner. She also expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of communication regarding her dietary preferences and the use of rough paper towels for personal hygiene. These incidents highlight a broader issue of inadequate care and communication, contributing to the residents' loss of dignity and respect.
Failure to Assist Resident with Severe Cognitive Impairment in Eating
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary assistance with feeding for a resident with severe cognitive impairment and other health conditions, including Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Failure, and Muscle Wasting. The resident, who was admitted with a Brief Interview of Mental Status (BIMS) score indicating severe cognitive impairment, required set-up and clean-up assistance with eating as per the Minimum Data Set (MDS). Observations revealed that the resident's meals were left untouched for extended periods without staff assistance. On two separate occasions, the resident's meal trays were observed to be 100% untouched for 30 minutes or more, indicating a lack of timely assistance from staff. Interviews with staff confirmed that the resident needed assistance with all meals, yet documentation showed inconsistencies in the level of assistance provided. The Activities of Daily Living (ADL) task records indicated varying levels of assistance, from total dependence to independent eating, which contradicted staff statements and observations. The MDS Coordinator confirmed that the resident required total assistance with most meals, highlighting a discrepancy between documented care needs and actual care provided. This failure to provide necessary feeding assistance compromised the resident's nutritional intake and care quality.
Failure to Monitor and Address Nutritional Needs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adequately monitor and address the nutritional needs of two residents, leading to significant weight loss and potential malnutrition. Resident #162, who was admitted with diagnoses including protein-calorie malnutrition and severe cognitive impairment, experienced a significant weight loss of 5.7% over a period from June to August. Despite having a physician's order for nutritional supplements if meal intake was less than 50%, Resident #162 did not receive any supplements in July. The Registered Dietitian (RD) did not document the estimated caloric and protein needs due to missing height information and failed to make additional nutritional recommendations despite the noted weight loss. Resident #98, admitted with unspecified protein-calorie malnutrition and dementia, also experienced a significant weight loss of 26 pounds (13.27%) in one month. The resident's weight was not documented for four weeks, despite a physician's order for weekly weights. The RD acknowledged that the significant weight loss was not addressed in a timely manner and that the care plan was not updated until August, despite the resident's refusal to be weighed being documented only in early August. Both cases highlight a failure in the facility's processes for monitoring and addressing significant weight changes and nutritional needs. The facility's policies on nutritional management and weight monitoring were not effectively implemented, as evidenced by the lack of timely interventions and documentation. The RDs involved did not adequately respond to the significant weight losses, and there was a lack of communication and documentation regarding the residents' refusal to be weighed and the need for nutritional interventions.
Failure to Provide Timely Pain Management
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide timely and appropriate pain management for a resident, leading to a deficiency in care. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had diagnoses of muscle wasting, type 2 diabetes, and muscle weakness, reported that his pain medication was consistently administered late. Despite having a physician's order for Oxycodone to be given every 8 hours, the medication was often delayed by 2 to 3 hours, as confirmed by the medication administration audit report. This delay in medication administration was corroborated by the resident's complaints of increased pain and inability to sleep due to the lack of timely pain relief. Interviews with the resident and staff revealed discrepancies in the administration of pain medication. The resident expressed dissatisfaction with the timing of his medication, stating that it was not given on time, which affected his pain management. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that pain medication is typically administered within an hour before or after the scheduled time, yet the audit report showed significant delays. This inconsistency in medication administration did not align with the facility's pain management policy, which emphasized the importance of anticipating the resident's need for pain relief and responding immediately to complaints of pain.
Failure to Accommodate Resident Food Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide food that accommodates resident preferences and appealing options for two residents, leading to a deficiency in nutritional management. Resident #88, who was admitted with diagnoses including underweight and muscle wasting, expressed dissatisfaction with the meals provided, specifically disliking egg salad, which was frequently served. Despite being assessed by a registered dietitian, Resident #88's food preferences were not adequately documented or communicated, resulting in meals that did not align with her preferences. Observations showed that Resident #88 often refused the meals served and opted for alternatives like a tuna sandwich and fruit, indicating a lack of effective communication and documentation of her dietary preferences. Resident #172, who was readmitted with multiple diagnoses including chronic kidney disease and protein-calorie malnutrition, also experienced issues with meal preferences. Despite having a good cognitive function and speaking Spanish, Resident #172 was not provided with meals that matched his Hispanic food preferences. The meal tickets and activity calendar were in English, which he did not understand, leading to confusion and dissatisfaction with the meals served. The registered dietitian, who spoke Spanish, did not effectively communicate with Resident #172 about his food preferences, resulting in meals that did not meet his cultural and personal preferences. Both residents experienced a lack of personalized meal options that considered their individual preferences and dietary needs. The facility's failure to adequately assess, document, and communicate these preferences contributed to the deficiency. The registered dietitian's attempts to gather information were insufficient, and there was a lack of follow-through in updating the nutrition management system to reflect the residents' preferences, leading to ongoing dissatisfaction with the meals provided.
Failure to Communicate and Document Fluid Restriction
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to effectively communicate and educate staff and a resident regarding a medically prescribed fluid restriction. Resident #172, who was readmitted with multiple diagnoses including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, End Stage Renal Disease, and Kidney Transplant Failure, was on a fluid restriction of 1000 ml per day as per physician's orders. However, the facility did not ensure that this restriction was communicated to the resident or consistently documented by the staff. The resident, who speaks Spanish and has minimal understanding of English, was not informed about the fluid restriction or the allowable amount of liquids per shift. Observations and interviews revealed that the resident was provided with more fluids than allowed, and staff were unaware of the fluid restriction. The resident's meal trays and bedside contained more fluids than prescribed, and staff, including CNAs and activities personnel, were not informed about the fluid restriction. The MAR and TAR records for the resident showed X symbols, indicating that the fluid restriction order had not been acknowledged or documented by the nursing staff. Interviews with various staff members, including the RD, CNAs, and the Director of Activities, confirmed a lack of communication and documentation regarding the fluid restriction. The staff did not document the amount of fluids provided to the resident, and there was a misunderstanding about the necessity of documenting the fluid restriction as a physician order. The facility's failure to communicate and document the fluid restriction order led to the resident consuming more fluids than prescribed, highlighting a significant deficiency in the facility's care and communication processes.
Failure to Timely Identify and Manage Pressure Ulcer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to assess and identify a pressure ulcer in a timely manner for a resident, leading to the development of a stage III sacral wound. The resident, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including paraplegia and quadriplegia, was at moderate risk for pressure ulcers as indicated by a Braden Scale score of 13. Despite this, the facility's nursing staff did not document any assessment of the resident's sacral area until eleven days after admission, when the wound was finally discovered. Interviews with staff revealed that the resident was totally dependent on care and required assistance for all activities of daily living. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) reported repositioning the resident every two hours and performing regular skin checks, yet no issues were noted in the sacral area during this time. The resident's Primary Care Physician and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) for wound care both acknowledged that preventative skin measures should have been implemented upon admission, but these were not adequately documented or executed by the facility. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the sacral wound was not identified or documented by the nursing staff until it had progressed to a stage III ulcer. The facility's failure to promptly assess and manage the resident's skin condition, as well as to notify the resident's representative of the change, contributed to the deficiency. This oversight occurred despite the facility's policy on pressure injury prevention and management, which mandates systematic assessment and intervention to prevent such occurrences.
