Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Alden Estates Of Skokie during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to document COVID-19 vaccination education and offerings to staff, not adhering to its own policy. The DON/IP admitted that while vaccinations are offered annually, there is no record of refusals or education. Staff often get vaccinated at local pharmacies, and the facility lacks documentation of these external vaccinations. Interviews with staff revealed inconsistencies in the vaccination process, with some not receiving education or being offered the vaccine this year. The facility's policy requires education consistent with CDC and FDA guidelines, but this was not consistently documented or provided.
A resident with dementia and poor safety awareness fell and fractured his left femur due to inadequate supervision and monitoring.

Failure to Document COVID-19 Vaccination Education and Offerings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper documentation of COVID-19 vaccination education and offering to staff, as well as not adhering to its own COVID-19 Vaccination Policy. The Director of Nursing (DON) and Infection Preventionist (IP) acknowledged that while COVID-19 vaccinations are offered to staff and residents annually, there is no record of refusals or education provided. Staff often obtain vaccinations from local pharmacies, and the facility does not keep track of these external vaccinations. Additionally, there is no documentation of staff education on the risks and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine, as required by the facility's policy. Interviews with various staff members, including Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), and the Business Office Manager, revealed inconsistencies in the facility's vaccination process. Some staff members reported not receiving any education or being offered the COVID-19 vaccine in the current year. Others mentioned that while they had signed consents or refusals in the past, this practice had ceased, and no declination forms for COVID-19 were currently required. The facility's policy mandates that education should include information consistent with CDC and FDA guidelines, but this was not consistently documented or provided. The facility's documentation practices were further scrutinized when the surveyor requested COVID-19 declination forms and education in-services for the current year, which were not provided. The facility's COVID-19 Vaccination Policy, dated July 2023, emphasizes the importance of vaccination and mandates education for all staff and residents. However, the facility failed to provide evidence of compliance with this policy, as there were no records of education sessions or declination forms for the COVID-19 vaccine. This lack of documentation and adherence to policy has the potential to affect all residents in the facility.
Failure to Prevent Resident Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and evaluate an individualized plan to include supervision and monitoring to reduce the risk for falls for a resident with dementia and poor safety awareness. This deficiency resulted in the resident having an unwitnessed fall, being sent to the local hospital, and being treated for a left femur fracture. The resident had a history of vascular dementia, muscle weakness, difficulty walking, abnormalities of gait and mobility, Parkinson's disease, and a history of falling. Despite these risk factors, the facility did not adequately supervise or monitor the resident to prevent the fall. On the day of the incident, the resident was eating breakfast in bed with the call light within reach. The resident did not call for assistance and attempted to go to the bathroom alone, resulting in a fall. The housekeeper found the resident on the floor, and the nurse on duty was immediately notified. The resident was transferred to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a left femur fracture. Interviews with staff revealed that the resident was usually compliant with using the call light for assistance but did not do so on this occasion. The facility's investigation concluded that the resident's right-sided weakness contributed to the fall. The facility's policy on care plans, dated August 2020, states that the facility will assess hazards and risks, develop a plan of care to address these hazards and risks, implement appropriate resident interventions, and revise the plan of care to minimize the risk of fall incidents and injuries. However, the facility did not adhere to this policy, as the resident's care plan did not adequately address his fall risk. The resident's walker was left at the bedside, which may have encouraged him to attempt to walk without assistance. The facility's failure to provide adequate supervision and monitoring directly led to the resident's fall and subsequent injury.
