Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Quinton Mem Hc & Rehab Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to properly store and clean respiratory equipment for four residents, leaving O2 tubing and nebulizer masks unbagged and uncovered, contrary to facility policy. Observations showed equipment on the floor and with visible contamination, while staff interviews revealed confusion about responsibilities for equipment maintenance.
A resident with cognitive impairment and mobility issues experienced multiple falls at an LTC facility, resulting in head injuries and a fractured ankle. Despite documented contributing factors, the facility failed to conduct root cause analyses or implement effective fall prevention strategies. Staff interviews indicated the resident frequently got up unassisted, and while falls were discussed in meetings, no specific interventions were documented.
Improper Storage of Respiratory Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly bag and store unused oxygen (O2) and nebulizer tubing, as well as cannulas and masks, for four residents receiving respiratory services. This deficiency was identified through observations, resident and staff interviews, and a review of facility policies. The facility's policy on oxygen administration required replacing oxygen tubing at least monthly and more frequently if contaminated or visibly soiled. The policy on administering medications through a nebulizer required cleaning the equipment weekly and bagging it when not in use. However, observations revealed that O2 tubing and nebulizer equipment were left unbagged and uncovered in residents' rooms, including on the floor, which could potentially lead to the spread of infection. Specific instances included a resident with severe cognitive decline having unbagged O2 tubing on the floor, and another resident with intact cognition having a brownish-gray substance on the O2 concentrator filter. Additionally, nebulizer tubing and masks were found unbagged at the bedside of two other residents, one of whom was in a room under Enhanced Barrier Precautions. Interviews with staff, including a CNA, LPN, and the Infection Preventionist, revealed a lack of clarity and adherence to the facility's policies regarding the cleaning and storage of respiratory equipment. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the evening shift was responsible for respiratory sanitization and that no logging was done to confirm scheduled cleaning was performed.
Inadequate Supervision and Fall Prevention for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate supervision and fall prevention measures for a resident, identified as R3, who experienced multiple falls resulting in injuries. R3, who had a history of mild cognitive impairment and other medical conditions, sustained six falls from admission through February 2024. These falls often occurred when R3 attempted to get out of bed unassisted or ambulated without assistance, leading to head injuries and ultimately a fractured ankle. Despite documenting contributing factors for the falls, the facility did not conduct a root cause analysis for each incident, which hindered the development of specific interventions to prevent further falls. The facility's policy on falls emphasized resident-centered assessment and care plan adjustments based on the effectiveness of interventions. However, the facility did not adequately address R3's declining cognition and need for increased supervision. The resident's medical records indicated moderate cognitive impairment, frequent incontinence, and a need for substantial assistance with mobility. Despite these needs, the facility's interventions were insufficient, as evidenced by the repeated falls and injuries sustained by R3. Interviews with staff revealed that R3 was known to get up unassisted and had a history of using a rollator walker, which was later deemed unsafe. The facility's interdisciplinary team discussed falls in morning meetings, but there was no documented root cause analysis or specific fall prevention strategies implemented. The lack of thorough assessment and intervention contributed to the resident's continued falls and eventual hospitalization for a traumatic brain injury and ankle fracture.
