Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Vi At Aventura during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to use appropriate infection control practices for a resident with C-diff. An LPN used sanitizing wipes not approved for C-diff to clean a blood pressure machine, contrary to the facility's protocol requiring bleach wipes. The resident was on isolation precautions, and the correct procedure was confirmed by the DON.
A facility failed to assess a resident for self-administration of medication, leading to the discovery of unapproved medications in the resident's drawer. The resident, with no cognitive impairment and requiring assistance for eating and oral hygiene, had not been evaluated for self-administration, and there was no physician order for the observed medications.
The facility failed to provide assistive devices to prevent accidents for a resident with a history of falls, as floor mats were observed folded against the wall instead of being placed at the bedside as ordered. Staff interviews confirmed non-compliance with physician orders and the facility's Fall Prevention Protocol.
The facility failed to ensure the hydration cart, ice cooler, and ice scoop were handled in a manner to prevent contamination. A resident's spouse was observed using the ice scoop and cooler without sanitizing her hands or wearing gloves, despite the facility's infection control policy.
The facility failed to send an accurate Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice to the Ombudsman for a resident discharged to home. The notice contained an incorrect discharge date, despite active discharge planning and communication with the resident's son.
The facility failed to ensure that arbitration agreements presented to residents upon admission informed them of their rights, including the right to communicate with officials. The incorrect form was used, and no policy or procedure was in place, leading to this deficiency.
Inappropriate Infection Control Practices for C-diff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to use appropriate infection control practices for a resident diagnosed with Clostridium difficile (C-diff). On 4/30/2024, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was observed cleaning a blood pressure machine with sanitizing wipes that were not approved for disinfecting surfaces contaminated with C-diff. The LPN used Germicidal Sani wipes, which do not list C-diff as an approved disinfectant on the label. This action was contrary to the facility's protocol, which requires the use of bleach wipes for disinfecting equipment used with residents on isolation precautions for C-diff. The resident involved had a diagnosis of Enterocolitis due to C-diff and was on isolation precautions. The facility's care plan and physician orders indicated the need for specific infection control measures, including the use of bleach wipes for cleaning equipment. Despite this, the LPN admitted to using the incorrect procedure. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the correct protocol involves using bleach wipes to clean the blood pressure machine after use with a resident under isolation for C-diff. The facility's policy on equipment cleaning, last revised in October 2017, also supports this protocol.
Failure to Assess Self-Administration of Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to determine whether the self-administration of medications was clinically appropriate for one resident. This deficiency was identified when a surveyor observed medication in the resident's drawer without a completed self-administration assessment. The resident had a diagnosis of gastro-esophageal reflux disease without esophagitis and a cognitive status indicating no impairment. The resident required assistance for eating and oral hygiene but was found with a bottle of supplements and two boxes of lozenges in their drawer. The resident had not been evaluated for self-administration of medication, and there was no physician order for the medications observed in the room at the time of the surveyor's initial observation. Upon questioning, the LPN confirmed that the resident had not been evaluated for self-administration. The resident refused to surrender the lozenges when the LPN attempted to retrieve them. The facility's policy requires an assessment and physician order for self-administration, along with secure storage of medications. The resident was later assessed, and a physician order was obtained for the lozenges, which were then stored in a locked drawer. However, the initial failure to assess and properly manage the resident's self-administration of medication led to the deficiency noted in the report.
Failure to Provide Assistive Devices to Prevent Accidents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide assistive devices to prevent accidents for one resident, as evidenced by observations of the resident in bed with floor mats folded up against the wall. The resident had a history of falling and other abnormalities of gait, and there was a physician order for floor mats to be placed at the bedside twice a day. Despite this order, the floor mats were not in place during multiple observations by the surveyor, indicating non-compliance with the prescribed safety measures. Staff interviews revealed that the floor mats were removed by the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) while readjusting the resident and were not replaced afterward. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that all staff are required to follow physician orders, and the floor mats should have been in place when the resident was in bed. The facility's Fall Prevention Protocol also mandates the use of such devices to reduce the likelihood of falls, further highlighting the deficiency in adhering to established safety procedures.
Failure to Prevent Contamination of Hydration Cart
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the hydration cart, ice cooler, and ice scoop were handled in a manner to prevent contamination. During an observation on the nursing unit, a person, identified as Resident #185's spouse, was seen using the ice scoop and cooler without sanitizing her hands before or after obtaining ice and water. She was not wearing gloves during this process. This occurred despite the facility's policy requiring proper infection control practices, including hand hygiene, to prevent contamination. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) acknowledged the issue but mentioned that the resident's spouse gets upset when approached about it. The ADON confirmed that the cooler, scoop, and hydration cart are cleaned and changed daily. However, the spouse of Resident #185 was observed on multiple occasions using the hydration cart without following proper hand hygiene protocols. The facility's policy on infection control, revised in June 2020, mandates monitoring staff performance to ensure infection control procedures are implemented, but this was not adhered to in this instance.
Failure to Send Accurate Discharge Notice
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to send an accurate Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice to the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman for one resident. The resident, who had a diagnosis of a displaced oblique fracture of the shaft and right femur, was discharged to home on 12/04/2023. However, the Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice sent to the Ombudsman had an incorrect discharge date of 12/01/2023. The discrepancy was evidenced by a fax confirmation sheet showing the notice was sent on 12/11/2023, after the resident had already been discharged. The resident's care plan and social services notes indicated active discharge planning and communication with the resident's son regarding the discharge date. Despite the son’s initial disagreement and subsequent appeals, the final discharge occurred on 12/04/2023. The facility's Social Services Manager confirmed that the notice sent to the Ombudsman contained the initial discharge date instead of the actual discharge date, leading to the deficiency.
Failure to Inform Residents of Arbitration Agreement Rights
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the arbitration agreements presented to residents upon admission adequately informed them or their representatives of the nature and implications of the binding arbitration agreement. Specifically, the arbitration agreements did not document that residents or their representatives retained the right to communicate with federal, state, or local officials, including surveyors and representatives of the Office of the State Long Term Care Ombudsman. This deficiency was identified through record reviews and interviews with the Outreach Manager and Admissions Assistant, who confirmed that the arbitration agreements used did not contain the necessary information. Additionally, it was revealed that no residents had signed the arbitration agreements, and the facility did not have a policy or procedure in place for arbitration agreements. During the survey, the Outreach Manager and Admissions Assistant acknowledged the oversight and presented a new Dispute Resolution Agreement that included the required information. However, this updated agreement was not provided to residents upon their admission. The Administrator confirmed that the facility had been using the incorrect arbitration agreement form and that there was no existing policy or procedure for arbitration agreements. This lack of proper documentation and communication regarding the arbitration agreements led to the identified deficiency.
