Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. This deficiency was identified based on a review of facility records, which showed that the required assessment data were not submitted within the mandated timeframe. The report specifically notes the lack of timely transmission of assessment information as required by regulations.
Failure to Ensure Accurate Resident Assessment
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the facility's failure to ensure that each resident received an accurate assessment. The report notes that the required assessment process was not properly completed for at least one resident, resulting in an inaccurate or incomplete evaluation of the resident's needs and condition. This lapse was observed during the survey and was directly related to the facility's assessment procedures.
Failure to Honor Resident Rights
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the failure to honor the resident's right to a dignified existence, self-determination, communication, and the exercise of their rights. The report notes that the facility did not ensure these resident rights were upheld, but does not provide specific details about the actions or inactions that led to this deficiency, nor does it mention any particular events or residents involved.
Failure to Protect Resident from Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from abuse, resulting in a serious incident involving two residents. Resident #25, who had multiple diagnoses including dementia and chronic kidney disease, was found in a vulnerable state with Resident #52, who also had dementia and exhibited sexually inappropriate behaviors. The incident occurred when a CNA discovered Resident #52 on top of Resident #25, with both residents partially undressed and Resident #25's catheter removed. The CNA observed signs of distress in Resident #25, who later confirmed he did not consent to the incident and experienced pain from the catheter removal. The facility's policies on abuse prevention were not effectively implemented, as evidenced by the lack of immediate and appropriate response to the incident. Despite the severity of the situation, the facility did not conduct a thorough assessment of Resident #25 for trauma, nor did they notify a physician about the physical injuries sustained. Additionally, the facility did not send Resident #25 for a sexual assault examination, and there was no documentation of measures taken to prevent further incidents or to ensure other residents were not affected. Interviews with staff revealed differing perceptions of the incident, with some acknowledging the potential for sexual abuse while others, including the Administrator, did not. The facility's failure to recognize and address the incident as sexual abuse, coupled with inadequate documentation and follow-up, placed all residents at risk of abuse. The lack of interviews with other residents to assess the extent of inappropriate behavior by Resident #52 further highlights the facility's insufficient response to the incident.
Delayed Reporting of Resident Abuse Allegation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of resident abuse to the State Survey Agency within the required 2-hour timeframe. The incident involved Resident #25, who was found by a CNA with his roommate naked on top of him in his bed, having removed his brief and catheter. The incident occurred at 2:50 AM, but the report was not submitted until 11:23 AM, over 8 hours later. The facility's policy and the State Operations Manual require such allegations to be reported immediately, but no later than 2 hours after the allegation is made if it involves actual harm or serious bodily injury. The facility's investigation documented that the incident was reported by a CNA and involved physical harm to Resident #25, as his catheter was forcefully removed. Despite this, the Social Worker and Administrator did not report the incident within the 2-hour window, as they did not believe it resulted in serious bodily injury. The Social Worker marked 'no' on the reporting form regarding serious bodily injury, and the report was submitted to the State Agency's Long Term Care Reporting Portal three days later. Interviews with the Social Worker and Administrator revealed a misunderstanding of the reporting requirements. They believed the requirement was 24 hours for abuse without serious bodily injury, focusing on the absence of serious bodily harm rather than the abuse itself. The Administrator did not consider the incident as sexual abuse but acknowledged physical contact occurred. This misinterpretation led to the delayed reporting of the abuse allegation, contrary to the facility's policy and regulatory requirements.
Failure to Investigate Abuse Allegations Thoroughly
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to thoroughly investigate allegations of abuse involving Resident #25, who was at risk of physical and sexual abuse from Resident #52. The facility's policy required all allegations of abuse to be thoroughly investigated under the direction of the Abuse Response Team. However, the investigation conducted by SW #2 did not include interviews with other residents to rule out further allegations or ensure that residents felt safe. This oversight placed Resident #25 and potentially all residents at risk for ongoing abuse without detection or protective measures. Resident #25, who had multiple diagnoses including dementia and chronic kidney disease, reported feeling unsafe after waking up to Resident #52 handling his indwelling catheter. Resident #52, who had a history of socially and sexually inappropriate behaviors related to dementia with Lewy bodies, was discharged to the hospital following the incident. Despite the facility's policy requiring thorough investigations, SW #2 did not interview other residents, believing they would not have anything pertinent to share. The Administrator also did not view the incident as sexual but acknowledged physical contact occurred.
