Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Corydon Specialty Care during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents with severe cognitive impairment and eating assistance needs did not receive timely help during meals. One resident who was dependent on staff for eating sat with food in front of her and was not assisted for several minutes after tray delivery, while another resident who needed setup, verbal cues, and oversight struggled with an ice cream container, mixed food into her water, and went without staff assistance or encouragement for an extended period while staff attended to other residents.
A resident with multiple health conditions was discharged to another facility without her prescribed pain and anxiety medications, including controlled substances, due to staff following a protocol of returning or destroying medications at discharge. This left the resident without necessary pain management for over 10 hours, despite facility policy allowing for the release of such medications under certain conditions.
A resident with Alzheimer's and muscle weakness experienced multiple falls due to inadequate implementation of fall prevention interventions. Despite being at risk, the care plan was not consistently followed, leading to injuries. Observations showed the resident frequently slid out of her wheelchair, and staff interviews revealed that recommended interventions, such as a new cushion, were not in place.
A facility failed to complete a physician's order for weekly weights for a resident with multiple diagnoses, including heart failure and Parkinson's disease, who was on diuretic therapy. The care plan noted significant weight loss and required weekly weights, but the EHR showed missing weights for two weeks with no documentation of attempts to obtain them or notify the PCP. The DON acknowledged the oversight and lack of documentation.
During a lunch service, staff members failed to adhere to proper food handling and hand hygiene practices. A CNA and a cook were observed cutting and buttering residents' dinner rolls with bare hands, while another CNA fed residents without performing hand hygiene between interactions. Despite the availability of gloves and hand sanitizer, these were not used, violating the facility's policies on food preparation and hand hygiene.
Delayed Feeding Assistance During Meals
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure timely feeding assistance for two residents who were dependent on staff support during meals. One resident had severely impaired cognition, diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease, non-Alzheimer’s dementia, and Parkinson’s disease, and was documented as dependent on staff for eating. Although the care plan and dietary note reflected that staff assisted her with eating, on observation she sat with a plate of food in front of her and was not assisted after the tray was delivered. She did not begin eating on her own until several minutes later, and staff did not start helping her until after that delay. A second resident had severely impaired cognition, Alzheimer’s disease, non-Alzheimer’s dementia, and macular degeneration, and her care plan, nutritional assessment, dietary note, and Kardex directed setup assistance, verbal cues, and oversight for eating. During observation, she struggled to remove the lid from her ice cream container, continued trying without success, and later had difficulty taking bites and placed ice cream into her water. Staff were observed assisting other residents at nearby tables and did not appear to notice her difficulty or provide assistance or encouragement for an extended period. Staff interviews indicated the resident needed setup and prompting, and the DON stated staff should begin feeding residents within 10 minutes after tray delivery and intervene when the resident mixed her food.
Failure to Provide Discharged Resident with Prescribed Medications
Penalty
Summary
A resident with an intact mental status and multiple medical conditions, including a history of stroke, congestive heart failure, and chronic pain, was discharged to another facility without her prescribed medications, including controlled substances for pain and anxiety. The resident was private pay and had recently received refills for her medications, which included Lyrica, Hydrocodone/Tylenol, and Lorazepam. Upon arrival at the receiving facility, it was discovered that none of her medications had been sent with her, leaving her without necessary pain management for over 10 hours. Staff interviews revealed that the facility's standard discharge process was to return unused medications to the pharmacy and destroy controlled substances, regardless of the resident's payment status or ownership of the medications. The Director of Nursing confirmed this process was followed in this case and was unaware of the facility's policy that allowed for the release of controlled substances upon discharge if permitted by state law and authorized by the physician. The failure to provide the resident with her medications upon discharge resulted in a gap in her pain management and did not honor her right to retain and use personal possessions.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Interventions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from accidents and injuries by not implementing effective interventions to reduce fall risks. The resident, who had a history of falls and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, anxiety disorder, and muscle weakness, required assistance with transfers and positioning. Despite being identified as at risk for falls, the care plan interventions were not consistently followed, leading to multiple incidents where the resident fell from her wheelchair, resulting in injuries including a laceration to the head. Observations and interviews revealed that the resident frequently slid out of her wheelchair due to inadequate support and positioning. The care plan included interventions such as assisting with foot pedal adjustments and assessing for a new wheelchair cushion, but these were not effectively implemented. Staff interviews indicated that the recommended cushion was not in place, and the resident's foot pedals were often locked, restricting her movement and contributing to falls. The facility's policy on managing falls and fall risk emphasized resident-centered approaches and monitoring of interventions. However, the repeated falls and injuries suggest that the interventions were either not adequately implemented or ineffective. The staff's failure to consistently follow the care plan and address the resident's specific needs contributed to the ongoing risk of falls and injuries.
Failure to Complete Physician's Order for Weekly Weights
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to consistently complete a physician's order for weekly weights for a resident reviewed for nutrition. The resident, identified as having intact cognition, was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, and Parkinson's disease, and was on diuretic therapy. The care plan, revised on November 8, 2024, documented a significant weight loss and included interventions to obtain weights per facility policy. However, the electronic health record (EHR) revealed missing documented weights for the weeks of November 19 and November 26, 2024, with no documentation of attempts to obtain weights, resident refusal, or notification to the primary care provider (PCP) about the missing weights. During an interview, the Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged the oversight in obtaining the resident's weights as ordered and the lack of documentation explaining the absence of these weights. The DON stated that charge nurses are responsible for reviewing PCP order sheets and entering orders into the EHR, and expressed an expectation that physician orders should be implemented and followed as written. The facility's policy on medication orders, revised in November 2014, includes guidelines for receiving and recording medication orders, which encompass treatments, specifying the treatment, frequency, and duration.
Improper Food Handling and Hand Hygiene Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper food handling and hand hygiene practices during a lunch service, as observed on 12/10/24. Staff A, a Certified Nursing Assistant, was seen cutting and buttering a resident's dinner roll with bare hands. Similarly, Staff B, a Van Driver who is also a Certified Nursing Assistant, was observed performing the same action with bare hands. Staff B was also seen feeding a resident, then interacting with another resident, and feeding them without performing hand hygiene in between. Additionally, Staff B placed hands in pant pockets and rubbed a resident's arm without subsequent hand hygiene. Staff C, a Cook, was also observed cutting and buttering a resident's dinner roll with bare hands. Despite the availability of gloves and a working automatic hand sanitizer dispenser in the dining room, these were not utilized by the staff. Interviews conducted with the Certified Dietary Manager and the facility Administrator confirmed the inappropriate use of bare hands during the meal service. The facility's policy on Food Preparation and Service, revised in April 2019, explicitly prohibits bare hand contact with food, requiring gloves to be worn and changed between tasks. The Hand Hygiene Procedure also mandates the use of an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water before and after direct contact with residents, after contact with objects, and before and after assisting a resident with meals. These policies were not adhered to during the observed lunch service, leading to the deficiency.
