Health deficiencies cited at Alden Estates Of Barrington during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents experienced falls resulting in serious injuries due to the facility's failure to provide adequate supervision and assistance. One ventilator-dependent, quadriplegic resident was assisted by only one CNA during incontinence care and fell from bed, sustaining fractures and later expired after surgery. Another cognitively impaired resident fell in the activity room after an activity, sustaining a laceration, due to lack of supervision and absence of clear policies for monitoring high-risk individuals during and after activities.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and high fall risk fell and sustained a fracture while unsupervised in front of the nursing station. The facility failed to implement effective interventions and lacked a specific care plan for the resident's wheelchair mobility and cognitive needs. Staff were unable to provide adequate supervision, contributing to the incident.
Failure to Prevent Falls Due to Inadequate Supervision and Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe environment and provide adequate supervision and assistance to prevent falls for two residents, resulting in significant injuries. One resident, who was ventilator-dependent, quadriplegic, morbidly obese, and under hospice care, required total assistance for all activities of daily living. During incontinence care, this resident was being assisted by only one certified nursing assistant (CNA), despite being a total assist and unable to help or follow commands. The CNA attempted to provide care alone, during which the resident fell from the bed, sustaining comminuted fractures to the left tibia and fibula. The resident was transferred to the hospital, underwent surgery, and subsequently expired following a cardiac arrest. Interviews with staff revealed inconsistent understanding of the required level of assistance, and there was no documentation supporting the use of one-person assist for this resident during such care. Another resident with severe cognitive impairment, as indicated by a low BIMS score, fell in the activity room immediately after participating in a group activity. The resident attempted to ambulate independently, tripped over a box or ornament, and sustained a laceration requiring sutures. Staff interviews indicated that supervision was not maintained in the activity room after the activity ended, and there was no clear policy or procedure for monitoring high-risk residents during or after activities. The activity aides were either escorting other residents or occupied in the kitchen at the time of the fall, leaving the cognitively impaired resident unsupervised. The facility's policies on fall management and activity supervision were reviewed, but staff were unable to provide documentation or guidance specific to supervision requirements in the activity room for high-risk residents. The lack of clear protocols and inconsistent staff understanding contributed to the failure to implement appropriate fall prevention interventions and ensure adequate assistance and supervision during high-risk care situations.
Failure to Monitor High-Risk Resident Leads to Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement effective interventions to monitor a resident at high risk for falls, resulting in the resident sustaining a fall and a subsequent hospital transfer for treatment of a fracture. The resident, an elderly female with a history of multiple medical conditions including dementia and severe cognitive impairment, fell in front of the nursing station despite being placed there for supervision. At the time of the fall, the resident was left unsupervised as the Certified Nursing Assistant was attending to another resident, and the Registered Nurse was approximately 100 feet away, unable to reach the resident in time to prevent the fall. The facility's policy on fall management was not effectively implemented, as evidenced by the lack of a specific care plan addressing the resident's wheelchair mobility and cognitive impairment. Interviews with staff revealed that the resident required supervision and touching assistance, yet there was no clear communication or plan on how to safely provide this care. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the difficulty in monitoring multiple residents simultaneously and did not provide a clear answer on whether the supervision distance was acceptable. This lack of effective supervision and care planning contributed to the resident's fall and injury.
