Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Moorings Of Arlington Heights during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with cognitive impairment and physical decline sustained a leg laceration during an unsafe transfer by a CNA, who was unfamiliar with the resident's needs. The resident's leg scraped against a protruding screw on the bed frame, requiring emergency medical attention and sutures. The incident highlighted the need for proper transfer procedures given the resident's condition.
The facility failed to maintain the required sanitizer concentration in the dishwasher, potentially affecting all 51 residents. A test strip showed a concentration of 10 ppm, below the required 50-100 ppm. Staff were unsure about the correct log and had not checked the machine properly. An inspection revealed a crack in the chemical line.
A resident was verbally abused by a CNA who initially entered the room calmly but later became irate and refused to assist the resident with toileting, instructing her to use adult briefs instead. The CNA's behavior escalated, leading to rough handling of the resident, causing fear and distress. An investigation substantiated the verbal abuse allegations.
A resident with dementia and other impairments was found with a bruise on her right temple. The RN and CNA noticed the bruise but failed to report, document, or investigate it as required by the facility's policy. The DON confirmed that no investigation was conducted.
The facility failed to provide adequate ADL assistance for two residents requiring staff help for toileting and incontinence care. One resident was found wet and had not been toileted since early morning, while another had a saturated brief and had not been changed since the previous night. The facility's policy of toileting or changing residents every two hours was not followed.
Resident Injury Due to Unsafe Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the safe transfer of a resident, resulting in a significant injury. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) transferred a resident from a wheelchair to a bed, during which the resident's leg scraped against a protruding screw on the bed frame, causing a large laceration. The resident, who was cognitively impaired and had a history of spinal stenosis, muscle weakness, and unsteadiness, required emergency medical attention and fourteen sutures to repair the wound. The CNA, who was unfamiliar with the resident's specific transfer needs, conducted the transfer alone, despite the resident's condition indicating the need for assistance from one to two staff members. The incident was observed and reported by the facility staff, including a Registered Nurse (RN) and the Director of Nursing (DON). The RN assessed the injury, and the DON acknowledged the bed's role in the injury, leading to its replacement. The resident's physician confirmed the resident's declining physical and mental condition, emphasizing the need for careful transfer procedures. The physician noted that the resident, who had recently moved from assisted living to skilled care, was nearing the requirement for a mechanical lift for transfers, highlighting the inadequacy of the transfer method used by the CNA.
Dishwasher Sanitizer Concentration Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the dishwasher's final rinse sanitizer solution concentration was at the required level, potentially affecting all 51 residents. On the specified date, a test strip run by dietary staff showed a sanitizer concentration of 10 ppm, which is below the required range of 50-100 ppm. The Food Service Director acknowledged the issue and mentioned that the machine was not delivering the chemical properly. The machine was subsequently stopped, and a company was called to inspect it. The inspection revealed a crack in the line that pulls the chemical in, causing the low sanitizer concentration. Staff interviews revealed that the dietary staff were unsure about the correct log for the machine and had not checked the dishwasher properly in the morning. One staff member admitted to receiving additional education about the dishwasher on the same day. The facility's policy states that the final rinse sanitizer solution concentration should be between 50-100 ppm, but the observed concentration was significantly lower, indicating a failure to adhere to the policy and professional standards for food safety.
Verbal Abuse of Resident by CNA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident (R7) from verbal abuse by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), identified as V15. On the morning of 04/15/2024, R7 reported that V15 initially entered her room in a calm manner but later became irate and verbally abusive. When R7 requested assistance to use the bathroom, V15 refused, instructing R7 to use her adult briefs instead. Despite R7's insistence that this was not acceptable, V15 continued to display erratic behavior, pacing back and forth and making contradictory statements. Eventually, V15 roughly handled R7, pushing her into the bathroom wall and then back into bed, causing R7 to feel frightened and petrified, although not physically hurt. R7's roommate described V15's behavior as fluctuating between calm and aggressive, likening it to a
Failure to Investigate Bruise of Unknown Origin
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow their policy to investigate a bruise/injury of unknown origin for a resident (R33) who was cognitively impaired due to dementia, legally blind, hard of hearing, and required staff assistance for all activities of daily living. On 4/15/24, a nickel-sized, light purple bruise was observed on R33's right temple/forehead area. The Registered Nurse (V4) acknowledged noticing the bruise the previous week but did not report it to the Director of Nursing (V2) or the Administrator (V1), nor did she document the bruise or initiate an investigation. The Certified Nursing Assistant (V6) who first noticed the bruise also failed to document the change in skin condition, although he reported it to V4. The family member (V5) of R33 was informed of the bruise during a visit the previous week and observed the bruise herself. The Director of Nursing (V2) confirmed that no investigation had been conducted regarding R33's bruise, despite the facility's policy requiring such incidents to be reported and investigated. The facility's Prevention of Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation policy mandates that injuries of unknown origin, such as bruises, should be reported immediately to the Abuse Coordinator and investigated by a registered nurse. The failure to follow these procedures resulted in the deficiency noted in the report.
Failure to Provide Adequate ADL Assistance for Toileting and Incontinence Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate assistance with activities of daily living (ADL) for two residents who required staff assistance for toileting and incontinence care. Resident R218, who had a history of urinary incontinence and required extensive assistance for toileting, was found seated in a wheelchair with a strong odor of urine and a wet area on his sweatpants. R218 reported being wet since 6:00 AM and had not been toileted since then. The CNA on duty confirmed that R218 had not been toileted since the start of her shift at 7:00 AM and proceeded to assist him to the bathroom only after the surveyor's observation. Similarly, Resident R31, who also had a history of urinary incontinence and required extensive to limited assistance for transferring and toileting, was found seated on the side of her bed with a strong odor of urine and stool in the room. R31 reported that her incontinence brief had not been changed since the previous night. Upon inspection by the CNA, R31's brief was found to be saturated with dark yellow urine and stool, and her buttocks were pink in color. The CNA confirmed that this was the first time she had toileted or changed R31 since her shift began at 7:00 AM. The facility's policy indicated that residents should be toileted or changed every two hours, which was not adhered to in these cases.
