Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Colonial Manor Of Amana during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with multiple diagnoses experienced a fall and subsequent mental status changes, but the facility failed to notify the physician or further assess the resident, leading to a deterioration in condition and eventual death. The facility did not follow its policy requiring physician notification for behavior changes.
A resident with heart failure, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease experienced multiple falls due to staff not using a gait belt as required by the care plan. Despite the care plan's directive, a staff member attempted to assist the resident without a gait belt, resulting in a fall. The DON confirmed that staff should use a gait belt for transfers.
Failure to Assess and Intervene After Mental Status Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to further assess and intervene after a change in mental status following a fall for one resident. The resident, who had diagnoses including high blood pressure, stroke, respiratory failure, insomnia, and cognitive communication deficit, was initially found on the floor with multiple injuries. Despite conducting neurological assessments with normal results, the resident exhibited a change in mental status, becoming disoriented and later showing signs of severe distress, including frothing at the mouth and apneic spells. The facility did not document any provider notification or further assessment after the initial mental status change was noted. The facility's policy required staff to notify the physician when a behavior change occurred, but this was not followed. The Director of Nursing confirmed that staff should have notified the physician of the resident's mental status change. The resident's condition deteriorated, leading to an emergency hospital transfer where the resident eventually passed away. The lack of timely intervention and communication with the physician contributed to the deficiency identified in the report.
Failure to Use Gait Belt During Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure staff utilized a gait belt in accordance with the care plan for a resident who required assistance with transfers. The resident, who had diagnoses including heart failure, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease, experienced multiple falls. The resident's care plan indicated the need for a gait belt during transfers, but staff did not consistently follow this directive. On one occasion, a staff member attempted to assist the resident from the toilet without a gait belt, resulting in the resident falling to the floor. The staff member admitted to not having a gait belt at the time of the incident. The resident's clinical records and staff interviews revealed that the resident had a history of falls while attempting to reach for items. Despite the care plan's requirement for a gait belt, staff failed to use it during a critical transfer, leading to the resident's fall. The Director of Nursing confirmed that staff should use a gait belt for transfers and should locate one if not immediately available. This failure to adhere to the care plan and facility policy resulted in the resident's fall and potential injury.
