Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Locust Grove Village during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to protect residents from all forms of abuse and neglect, including physical, mental, and sexual abuse, as well as physical punishment, by any individual.
The facility did not employ a full-time Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) to supervise meal preparation and kitchen sanitation, risking inadequate nutrition for 36 residents. Dietary Staff BB, who assisted with meal service, was still in training for CDM certification and scheduled to take the test in November. The facility's policy required a licensed CDM for daily dietary department functions, with weekly RD visits during training.
The facility failed to discard expired medications and vaccines, including bisacodyl suppositories and Fluzone vaccines, found in the medication storage room. A CMA was observed retrieving medication from a cart containing a bottle of multivitamins with no expiration date. The facility's policy requires expired drugs to be returned or destroyed, which was not followed.
Dietary staff failed to measure and prepare pureed foods according to standardized recipes, risking impaired nutrition for four residents. Staff admitted to estimating food amounts instead of measuring, contrary to facility policies.
A facility failed to ensure the safe use of a bed rail for a resident with Parkinson's disease and mild cognitive impairment, placing her at risk for injury. The facility did not conduct a comprehensive assessment of the rail's safety, including the risk of entrapment and the space between the rail and mattress. Observations showed the rail was not securely affixed, and the facility's Bed Safety policy was not adequately followed.
A facility failed to ensure a Consultant Pharmacist identified and reported the absence of a 14-day stop date for a resident's PRN lorazepam, used for anxiety. The resident had dementia and severely impaired cognition. The CP's monthly review did not address this irregularity, confirmed by an Administrative Nurse, placing the resident at risk for unnecessary psychotropic medication use.
A facility failed to ensure a 14-day stop date or specified duration for a resident's PRN antianxiety medication, lorazepam, as required. The resident, diagnosed with dementia, major depressive disorder, and anxiety, received lorazepam for anxiety and restlessness without a documented stop date or rationale for continued use. Observations and interviews confirmed the deficiency, and the facility lacked a policy for PRN psychotropic medications, placing the resident at risk for adverse side effects.
Failure to Protect Residents from Abuse and Neglect
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the facility's failure to protect each resident from all types of abuse, including physical, mental, sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by any individual. The report documents that residents were not adequately safeguarded from these forms of mistreatment, indicating lapses in the facility's responsibility to ensure resident safety and well-being. No specific details about the residents involved, their medical history, or their condition at the time of the deficiency are provided in the report.
Lack of Certified Dietary Manager in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to employ a full-time Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) to oversee the preparation of meals and sanitation in the kitchen, which placed 36 residents at risk for inadequate nutrition. During an observation on September 10, 2024, at 12:00 PM, Dietary Staff (DS) BB was seen assisting with the noon meal service. Later, at 12:45 PM, DS BB mentioned that the previous Registered Dietician (RD) had helped her with training related to the CDM certification, and she had completed the courses but was scheduled to take the test in November 2024. The facility's policy required the dietary manager to be a certified dietary manager licensed by the state, responsible for the day-to-day functions of the dietary department, with the RD providing weekly on-site visits during the CDM course completion.
Failure to Discard Expired Medications and Vaccines
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly store and manage medications and biologicals, as evidenced by the presence of expired medications and vaccines. During an observation, a Certified Medication Aide was found retrieving medication from a cart that contained a bottle of multivitamins with no expiration date. Additionally, a Licensed Nurse discovered expired bisacodyl suppositories and Fluzone vaccines in the medication storage room's refrigerator. These items had expiration dates ranging from May 2024 to July 2024, and the nurse confirmed the expiration dates. The facility's policy, dated April 2014, mandates that expired or improperly labeled drugs should be returned to the pharmacy or destroyed, which was not adhered to in this instance.
Failure to Measure and Prepare Pureed Foods Properly
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide food prepared by methods that conserve nutritive value, flavor, and appearance for four residents on a pureed diet. During an observation, Dietary Staff (DS) CC was seen preparing pureed foods without measuring the amounts of meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, and squash. DS CC added vegetable juice to these foods before pureeing but did not measure the servings when placing them in cups for each resident. DS CC admitted to not having recipes for the pureed foods and stated she estimated the amounts instead of measuring. Dietary Staff (DS) BB confirmed that recipes should be followed for pureed foods and portions should be measured before the pureeing process, as taught by the Registered Dietician. The facility's policies required the use of standardized recipes and recommended specific liquids for pureeing foods. The failure to adhere to these guidelines placed the affected residents at risk for impaired nutrition, as the food was not prepared in a manner that conserved its nutritive value, flavor, and appearance.
Failure to Ensure Safe Use of Bed Rail
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the safe use of a bed rail for a resident, identified as R4, which placed her at risk for accident or injury. R4's medical history included Parkinson's disease, spinal stenosis, and mild cognitive impairment, requiring assistance with bed mobility and transfers. Despite these conditions, the facility's documentation lacked a comprehensive assessment of the side rail's safety, specifically regarding the risk of entrapment and the space between the rail and the mattress. The facility's records showed that a Side Rail Assessment was completed upon R4's admission, noting the need for side rails due to her weakness and balance issues, as well as a family request. However, the assessment did not include an evaluation by physical or occupational therapy to determine the appropriate type of rail and its usage. Additionally, the maintenance check conducted did not address the rail's openings or the area between the rail and mattress, which are critical for preventing entrapment. Observations revealed that the side rail on R4's bed had a large opening and was not securely affixed, allowing it to move easily. This was confirmed by the facility's administrative nurse, who acknowledged the lack of further assessment for the side rail's use. The facility's Bed Safety policy emphasized the importance of assessing the resident's sleeping environment and ensuring bed rails are properly installed, but these procedures were not adequately followed for R4, leading to the identified deficiency.
Failure to Identify and Report Medication Irregularity
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Consultant Pharmacist (CP) identified and reported the absence of a 14-day stop date or specified duration for a resident's as-needed (PRN) antianxiety medication, lorazepam. The resident, identified as R10, had diagnoses of dementia, major depressive disorder, and anxiety, with severely impaired cognition. The resident's care plan documented the use of lorazepam for anxiety and restlessness, but the physician's order lacked a stop date or rationale for extended use. The CP's monthly review did not identify this irregularity, which was confirmed by the Administrative Nurse. The facility's policy required the CP to provide consultation on all aspects of pharmacy services, including identifying medication irregularities. However, the CP's review for R10 did not include a recommendation for a 14-day stop date or a rationale for continued use of lorazepam. This oversight placed the resident at risk for unnecessary psychotropic medication use. The facility's failure to adhere to its policy and ensure proper medication management was evident in the lack of communication and documentation regarding the PRN lorazepam order.
Failure to Ensure Stop Date for PRN Antianxiety Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a 14-day stop date or a specified duration with rationale for a resident's ongoing as-needed (PRN) antianxiety medication, lorazepam. This oversight was identified during a review of the resident's electronic health record (EHR), which revealed diagnoses of dementia, major depressive disorder, and anxiety. The resident's care plan documented the use of lorazepam for anxiety and restlessness, but the physician's order lacked a stop date or a specified duration with a rationale for the extended use of the medication. Observations and interviews confirmed the deficiency. On one occasion, the resident was observed receiving lorazepam PRN without a documented stop date or rationale for continued use. An administrative nurse verified the absence of a 14-day stop date or reason for the continued use of the medication. Additionally, the facility did not provide a policy related to PRN psychotropic medications, which contributed to the failure to ensure the resident was free of unnecessary psychotropic drugs, placing the resident at risk for adverse side effects.
