Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Hickory Creek At Franklin during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to Notify Physician of Significant Weight Gain: A resident with ESRD and dialysis dependence had repeated weekly weight gains over the ordered threshold, but the record lacked documentation that the physician was notified as required by the care plan. The DON acknowledged notifications should have occurred, and the ED stated the facility did not have a policy on following physician orders.
The facility failed to provide a resident with the correct diet consistency as ordered by the physician. Despite the order for a Regular, Soft Bite-Sized diet, the resident was repeatedly served pureed food items. Interviews and policy reviews confirmed that the food should have been served in a soft and bite-sized consistency.
A facility failed to ensure proper infection control procedures when an LPN did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene while providing catheter and bilateral buttocks care to a resident with obstructive and reflux uropathy and chronic kidney disease. The LPN acknowledged the oversight when reminded and changed gloves before continuing the treatment.
Failure to Notify Physician of Significant Weight Gain
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician of weight gains greater than 5 pounds in a week for one resident, despite a written physician order requiring notification for weight gain of more than 3 pounds in a day or 5 pounds in a week. The resident had diagnoses including end stage renal disease and dependence on renal dialysis, and a Quarterly MDS indicated moderate cognitive impairment. The resident’s record showed weight increases from 154.7 pounds to 161.6 pounds, from 167.5 pounds to 201.2 pounds, and from 151.6 pounds to 159.2 pounds on separate occasions, each reflecting a gain greater than 5 pounds in a week. The facility lacked documentation showing physician notification for the weight gains identified in the record. During interview, the DON stated there should have been physician notifications as ordered, and the Executive Director stated the facility did not have a policy on following physician orders and would follow Federal guidelines. The Executive Director also provided a dialysis care policy that stated physician orders would be received at admission and included weight monitoring if indicated.
Failure to Provide Correct Diet Consistency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Resident 228 received the correct diet as ordered by the physician. Despite the physician's order for a Regular, Soft Bite-Sized diet, Resident 228 was repeatedly served pureed food items. Observations on multiple occasions showed that Resident 228 was given pureed cornbread, pureed salad, scrambled eggs, ham, meatballs, and green beans, all in pureed consistency. This was contrary to the physician's order and the facility's diet guide sheet, which specified that these items should be served in a soft and bite-sized consistency. Interviews with the Dietary Manager and the Regional Nurse Consultant confirmed that the food items should have been served in a soft and bite-sized consistency as per the physician's order. The facility's policy on General Food Preparation and Handling also indicated that food should be altered to the appropriate consistency to meet individual needs. Despite these guidelines, the facility did not follow the prescribed diet for Resident 228, who has a diagnosis of dysphasia and moderate cognitive impairment, as indicated in her clinical record and care plan.
Infection Control Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper infection control procedures for one of the five residents reviewed for resident care. Specifically, an LPN did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene while providing catheter care and bilateral buttocks care to a resident with obstructive and reflux uropathy and chronic kidney disease. The resident's care plan included orders for foley catheter care and treatment for moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) on the bilateral buttocks. During the observation, the LPN donned PPE and began catheter care without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene when transitioning from contaminated to clean areas. The LPN then assisted the resident in turning onto their side and observed bowel incontinence and a red rash on the buttocks. The LPN retrieved clean supplies from the closet and performed incontinent care without changing gloves or conducting hand hygiene. The LPN continued with the bilateral buttocks treatment care, again failing to change gloves or perform hand hygiene. When reminded, the LPN acknowledged the oversight and changed gloves before continuing the treatment. Interviews with the Corporate Nurse Consultant and the Director of Nursing Services confirmed that staff are required to wash hands and change gloves during personal care when moving between contaminated and clean areas. The facility's policy on Standard and Transmission-Based Precautions also mandates hand hygiene and glove changes in such situations.
