Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Peabody Health And Rehab during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that food items in the kitchen were improperly stored, with unsealed, unlabeled, and undated bags of cheese and meat, as well as unsealed bags of flour and breadcrumbs. Additionally, unsanitary conditions were observed, including grayish-black substances on the kitchen mopboard and pipes beneath the dishwasher. Dietary staff confirmed these practices did not meet facility policies for food safety and sanitation.
The facility did not provide two residents with the required CMS Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) when skilled services ended, and the Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) forms given to them lacked the estimated cost to continue services. An administrative nurse was unaware of these requirements, partly due to a recent change in therapy providers, resulting in the residents not being fully informed about their Medicare coverage and potential financial liability.
Two residents receiving hospice care did not have essential hospice service information, such as visit frequency, supplies, medications, and contact details, included in their care plans or clinical records. Staff confirmed the absence of hospice plans of care and a lack of awareness about documentation requirements, despite facility policy mandating this coordination and documentation.
A resident with a history of mental disorders and suicidal ideations jumped from an open window, resulting in severe injuries. The facility failed to provide adequate supervision and interventions, as the resident's care plan lacked specific instructions for handling suicidal ideations and self-harm. The incident highlighted deficiencies in monitoring and securing the environment for residents with mental health challenges.
Deficient Food Storage and Kitchen Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple failures in food storage and kitchen sanitation practices. In the facility's kitchen, an unsealed plastic bag of yellow shredded cheese, an unlabeled and undated bag of white cheese, and an unlabeled, undated zip-lock bag containing two slices of meat were found in a refrigerator. In a separate freezer, a three-gallon container of orange sherbet was undated and had dried orange substances on its exterior. Additionally, large bags of flour and breadcrumbs were left unsealed. Dietary staff confirmed that food items should be labeled, dated, and stored in sealed containers, and acknowledged these lapses. Further inspection revealed unsanitary conditions, including grayish-black substances on the kitchen mopboard and on pipes beneath the dishwasher. Dietary staff verified these findings and stated that these areas should be cleaned regularly. At the time of the survey, the administrator was temporarily overseeing the dietary department until a new dietary manager was employed. Facility policies required all foods to be covered, labeled, and dated, and mandated regular cleaning of kitchen areas, but these standards were not met.
Failure to Provide Required Medicare Coverage Notices and Cost Estimates
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the required CMS 10123 Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) to two residents when their skilled services ended. Additionally, the facility did not include the estimated cost to continue skilled services on the CMS 10055 Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) forms given to these residents or their representatives. These actions were identified through record review and staff interview, which revealed that the NOMNC forms were not issued and the ABN forms were incomplete at the time skilled services were terminated for both residents. An administrative nurse stated that he was unaware of the requirement to provide the NOMNC forms and was uncertain about the estimated costs due to a recent change in therapy companies. The facility's own policy required that beneficiaries be notified at least three days before termination of all Part A services and that the estimated cost be included if services were to continue without Medicare coverage. The failure to provide these notices and cost estimates meant that the residents were not fully informed about their Medicare coverage status and potential financial liability for continued skilled services.
Failure to Coordinate and Document Hospice Services in Resident Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper communication and coordination between the hospice provider and the facility for two residents who were receiving hospice services. For one resident with diagnoses including atherosclerotic heart disease, chronic kidney disease, vascular dementia, and congestive heart failure, the care plan did not include essential information about hospice services, such as the frequency and type of support visits, supplies and medical equipment provided, medications covered, or hospice contact information. The resident's clinical record also lacked a hospice plan of care, despite documentation that the resident had been admitted to hospice. Staff interviews confirmed the absence of this information and a lack of awareness regarding the requirement to include these details in the care plan. Similarly, another resident with Alzheimer's disease, COPD, diabetes mellitus, and multiple sclerosis was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living and required supplemental oxygen. This resident's care plan also failed to include details about hospice services, including visit frequency, supplies, medications, and contact information. The clinical record did not contain a hospice plan of care, and staff confirmed that this information was missing and that they were unaware it needed to be included in the care plan. The facility's own hospice program policy required that hospice services be identified in writing and addressed in the resident's person-centered care plan, with appropriate documents, including the hospice plan of care, readily available. Despite this policy, the facility did not coordinate care with the hospice provider as required, resulting in the absence of critical information in both residents' records and care plans.
Failure to Supervise Resident with Suicidal Ideations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate supervision, monitoring, and interventions for a resident with a history of mental disorders and suicidal ideations. The resident, who had diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, severe bipolar disorder with psychotic features, schizophrenia, and unspecified psychosis, was found to have jumped from an open window in her room, resulting in multiple injuries that required hospitalization and surgery. The resident had a history of delusions and hallucinations, and staff last saw her between 09:00 PM and 09:30 PM before finding her on the sidewalk at 10:54 PM. The resident's care plan included monitoring for side effects of medications, such as suicidal ideations, but lacked specific instructions for staff in the event of suicidal ideations or self-harm. The facility also lacked a formal suicide risk assessment for the resident. Despite documented instances of the resident expressing suicidal intent and engaging in self-harm, the facility did not have adequate measures in place to prevent such incidents. The resident had previously attempted self-harm and expressed delusions, yet the care plan did not address these risks effectively. The facility's failure to secure the window in the resident's room and the lack of a comprehensive suicide prevention strategy contributed to the incident. The resident's delusions and hallucinations were documented in progress notes, but the facility did not implement sufficient interventions to address these issues. The incident placed the resident in immediate jeopardy, highlighting the need for improved supervision and monitoring of residents with mental health challenges.
