Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Camellia Gardens Of Life Care during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors identified multiple deficiencies in the facility's housekeeping and maintenance, including exposed drywall, damaged flooring, broken fixtures, exposed wiring, stained curtains and carpets, and unclean bathrooms. These issues were observed across numerous resident rooms and common areas, and were confirmed by the Maintenance Director as not meeting expectations for a clean, safe, and homelike environment.
Nursing staff failed to follow physician orders for pain management by administering opioid pain medications to two residents at pain levels below those specified in the orders, and did not document the use of non-pharmacological interventions prior to medication administration. The DON confirmed these practices were inconsistent with facility policy and professional standards.
Surveyors found that staff failed to administer medications as ordered for two residents, resulting in an error rate above 11%. Errors included withholding a blood pressure medication without physician parameters or notification, improper administration and lack of instruction for nasal sprays and eyedrops, and failure to assist with mouth rinsing after inhaler use. Staff interviews revealed confusion about medication hold parameters and inconsistent adherence to facility policies.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a history of falls did not receive planned fall prevention interventions, including keeping the bed in the lowest position and visible signage to request assistance. Multiple observations showed these measures were not in place, and staff confirmed the interventions were not consistently implemented. The resident subsequently reported a fall resulting in a femur fracture.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a history of weight loss did not receive needed assistance or encouragement during meals, and staff inaccurately documented meal intake as significantly higher than observed. Staff failed to provide supervision, cueing, or alternatives when the resident was not eating, resulting in inadequate support for the resident's nutritional needs.
Failure to Maintain Clean, Safe, and Homelike Resident Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for residents on four of six nursing units/floors, as evidenced by multiple deficiencies observed during environmental tours. Specific issues included paint chips exposing drywall, scuff marks, missing or damaged floor tiles, broken or missing toilet paper holders, loose or missing door handles, exposed wires and cables without proper face plates, ceiling electrical outlets hanging out of ceiling tiles, and missing or damaged air conditioner covers. Additionally, there were brown and black stains on privacy curtains, torn flooring exposing subflooring, worn and crumbling nightstand wood, and stained ceiling tiles. In one instance, a bedpan with feces and urine was found in a bathroom, and paper and urine-colored liquid were observed in a commode. The carpet in a common area was also noted to have black and brown stains. These observations were confirmed by the Maintenance Director during a follow-up tour, who acknowledged that the resident environment was expected to be maintained in a clean, safe, and homelike manner. The report does not mention any specific residents' medical histories or conditions at the time of the deficiency, but the findings were widespread across numerous resident rooms and common areas, indicating a systemic failure to provide adequate housekeeping and maintenance services.
Failure to Follow Physician Orders and Document Non-Pharmacological Interventions in Pain Management
Penalty
Summary
Nursing staff failed to follow physician orders for pain management for two residents with significant pain-related diagnoses. For one resident with acute pain due to trauma, spinal stenosis, and vertebral fractures, the care plan and physician orders specified that opioid pain medication should only be administered for severe pain rated 7-10 on the pain scale. However, nursing staff administered the medication for pain levels as low as 5 and 6, which was below the ordered threshold. Additionally, there was no documentation of non-pharmacological interventions being attempted prior to administering the opioid medication, as required by facility policy and the resident's care plan. For another resident with osteoarthritis, hip and knee pain, and a contracture, the physician order specified that opioid pain medication was to be given for moderate (4-6) and severe (7-10) pain. Despite this, nursing staff administered the medication for pain levels of 2 and 3, which are considered mild and not within the parameters of the physician's order. Again, the clinical record lacked documentation of non-pharmacological interventions prior to the administration of the opioid medication. Interviews with the Director of Nursing confirmed that staff administered opioid pain medications outside of the prescribed pain scale parameters for both residents and that there was no documentation of non-pharmacological interventions prior to medication administration. These actions were inconsistent with both facility policy and professional standards of practice for pain management.
Medication Administration Errors and Policy Non-Compliance
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified that the facility failed to ensure medications were administered accurately and as ordered for two of four residents observed during medication pass, resulting in a medication error rate of 11.11%. The facility's policies require adherence to the 10 Rights of Medication Administration and specific procedures for nasal spray, inhaler, and eyedrop administration. However, staff did not follow these protocols during observed medication passes. For one resident, a registered nurse withheld a prescribed blood pressure medication (Toprol XL) due to a low blood pressure reading, despite the absence of physician-ordered parameters for withholding the medication. The nurse did not notify the physician and administered the medication three hours late after a subsequent blood pressure reading. The same resident was not given proper instruction for self-administering a nasal spray, resulting in the resident using an incorrect number of sprays, and did not receive ordered ophthalmic eye drops as scheduled. For another resident, a licensed practical nurse failed to instruct the resident to close their eyes or hold the inner canthus after administering prescribed eyedrops, did not provide guidance on proper nasal spray technique, and did not assist or instruct the resident to rinse their mouth after using an inhaled corticosteroid, contrary to both facility policy and FDA labeling. Interviews with staff and the Director of Nursing confirmed a lack of clarity regarding medication administration parameters and inconsistent adherence to established protocols.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Interventions as Planned
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement planned fall prevention interventions for a resident with a history of falls, dementia, anxiety, contracture of the left thigh muscle, and a previous right femur fracture. The resident's care plan included keeping the bed in the lowest position when in bed and placing signage in a visible location to remind the resident to ask for assistance. Multiple observations over several days revealed that the resident's bed was not kept in the lowest position and there was no signage present in the room as required by the care plan. Staff interviews confirmed that these interventions were not consistently in place. The resident was transferred to the hospital after admitting to staff that she had fallen from her wheelchair several days prior, resulting in a right femur fracture. The facility's process for ensuring care plan interventions were in place was informal and not documented, relying on staff observations and verbal communication. The DON stated that direct care staff learned about interventions through the Kardex, Grand Rounds, or verbal reports, but there was no evidence that the required interventions were consistently implemented for this resident.
Failure to Assist and Accurately Document Meal Intake for Cognitively Impaired Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary assistance and accurate documentation of meal intake for a resident with severe cognitive impairment and a history of weight loss. The resident, who had diagnoses including dementia, anxiety, and malnutrition, required supervision and set-up for eating, as well as cueing and encouragement to consume meals. Observations revealed that staff frequently left the resident alone during mealtimes, did not provide adequate assistance or encouragement, and failed to reposition the meal tray for optimal access. On multiple occasions, the resident consumed little to none of the meals provided, yet staff documented inaccurately that the resident had eaten 51-75% of the meals. The resident's care plan specifically required staff to record food intake at each meal and provide assistance with ADLs as needed. Despite this, staff did not follow through with these interventions, as evidenced by direct observations and staff interviews. The documentation of meal intake did not reflect the actual consumption observed, and staff did not offer alternatives or sufficient encouragement when the resident was not eating. These failures contributed to the deficiency in maintaining the resident's nutritional status.
