Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Providence Pointe Healthcare during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injury, and a history of repeated falls experienced multiple unwitnessed falls and self-injurious behaviors due to inadequate supervision and inconsistent use of assistive devices. Despite ongoing incidents, interventions were reactive and one-to-one supervision was not provided until after hospitalization, contrary to facility policy requiring targeted accident prevention for high-risk individuals.
The facility failed to follow professional standards for food service safety, as multiple food items in the walk-in coolers were found opened, unlabeled, and undated. The Dietary Manager and former Registered Dietitian had differing understandings of the food storage policy, leading to potential risks for 85 residents consuming food from the kitchen.
The facility failed to maintain effective infection control, as two residents were not properly protected due to staff's non-compliance with PPE protocols. One resident with a Foley catheter did not receive care with the required gown usage, while another COVID-positive resident was attended by a CNA without an N95 mask, despite masks being available. These incidents reflect lapses in following infection control measures.
A resident with a history of serious mental illness did not receive required monthly psychiatric services, as mandated by their Level 2 PASRR. The facility's failure to ensure these services, along with missed appointments and lack of communication among staff, led to the resident's death by suicide. The resident had a comprehensive care plan for managing depression and psychotic disorders, but it was not adequately followed, contributing to the tragic outcome.
A resident with a history of mental health disorders was not provided with required psychiatric services due to the Medical Director's lack of awareness and coordination. Despite a care plan addressing the resident's conditions, missed psychiatric appointments and refusal of facility services were not followed up. The resident was found deceased by suicide, highlighting a significant deficiency in care coordination and policy implementation.
Failure to Provide Adequate Supervision and Accident Prevention for High-Risk Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate supervision and assistive devices to ensure the safety of a resident with a history of traumatic brain injury, severe cognitive impairment, and repeated falls. Despite multiple documented incidents of falls and self-injurious behaviors, such as pulling out a PEG tube, the interdisciplinary team did not implement consistent or sufficient interventions to prevent further accidents. The resident experienced several unwitnessed falls in various locations, including the resident's room, hallway, and dining room, often due to confusion, restlessness, and attempts to self-transfer or move unassisted. Facility records and staff interviews revealed that interventions were reactive and often implemented only after each incident, such as adding a perimeter mattress, fall mats, or removing wheelchair footrests. The care plan was updated multiple times, but the resident continued to experience falls and incidents of self-harm. Staff acknowledged the resident's high risk for accidents due to confusion, physical strength, and inability to follow directions, yet one-to-one supervision was not provided until after a hospitalization, and only as a temporary measure during the transition back to the facility. Interviews with facility staff, including the DON, ADON, and unit manager, indicated uncertainty and inconsistency regarding the use of 1:1 supervision and the facility's responsibility to provide it when family was unable to do so. The facility's policies required targeted interventions and adequate supervision for residents at risk, but these were not consistently or proactively applied for this resident, resulting in repeated accidents and injuries.
Failure to Adhere to Food Safety Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, as observed during a survey. During an inspection of the kitchen, multiple food items in the walk-in coolers were found to be opened, unlabeled, and undated. Specific items included banana pudding, salad, shredded cheese, sloppy joe mixture, mandarin oranges, sliced apples, deli turkey, chopped garlic, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon. These items were not labeled or dated according to the facility's policy, which requires all food stored in the refrigerator or freezer to be covered, labeled, and dated with a 'used by' date. Interviews with the Dietary Manager (DM) and the former Registered Dietitian (RD) revealed discrepancies in the understanding and implementation of food storage policies. The DM believed that food products were good for seven days after opening, while the RD stated that items should be dated for three days out. The RD emphasized that serving outdated food could lead to foodborne illness. The Administrator also confirmed that the expectation was for dietary staff to follow the facility's policy on labeling and dating stored food. This failure in food handling practices had the potential to affect 85 of the facility's 86 residents who consumed food from the kitchen.
Infection Control Lapses in PPE Usage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by two separate incidents involving residents R87 and R45. For resident R87, who was admitted with an indwelling Foley catheter requiring enhanced barrier precautions (EBP), two nurse aides did not adhere to the necessary infection control measures. During the provision of incontinent care, the aides neglected to wear gowns, which are required for high-contact activities. Despite being aware of the EBP guidelines and having received training, one of the aides admitted to forgetting to wear a gown due to the resident's urgency for care. In the case of resident R45, who was on droplet precautions due to a positive COVID-19 test, a certified nursing assistant (CNA) entered the resident's room without donning an N95 mask. Although the PPE container outside the room was stocked with the necessary masks, the CNA claimed there were no masks available. This oversight was confirmed by a licensed practical nurse/unit manager (LPN/UM), who acknowledged the importance of wearing an N95 mask to prevent the spread of infection. Both incidents highlight lapses in adherence to established infection control protocols, despite the facility's policies and available resources. The facility's Assistant Director of Nursing, who also serves as the Infection Preventionist, acknowledged initial compliance issues with EBP and the need for ongoing reinforcement of infection control education among staff.
Failure to Provide Required Behavioral Health Services Leads to Resident's Death
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary behavioral health care and services to a resident, identified as R84, who had a history of serious mental illness, including schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder. The resident's Level 1 Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) indicated a need for a Level 2 PASRR, which mandated monthly psychiatric services. However, the facility did not ensure that R84 received these required services, leading to a tragic incident where the resident was found deceased due to ligature asphyxiation, with the death ruled as a suicide. The facility's policy on Behavioral Assessment, Intervention, and Monitoring required that residents receive behavioral health services as needed, based on comprehensive assessments and care plans. Despite this, R84's care plan, which included managing depression and psychotic disorders, was not adequately followed. The resident missed multiple appointments with an outside psychiatric provider and was eventually discharged from their services for non-compliance. Additionally, there was no documented evidence that the facility's psych services were offered or that the resident's refusal was properly recorded. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness and communication regarding R84's mental health needs and history. The former Social Services Director and other staff members were not informed of the resident's need for monthly mental health services, nor were they aware of the missed appointments. The facility's Medical Director and Administrator also lacked knowledge of the resident's mental health history and the necessary interventions. This lack of coordination and oversight contributed to the failure to provide the required behavioral health services, ultimately leading to the resident's death.
Failure to Implement Psychiatric Care Policies Leads to Resident's Death
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency in the facility's care was primarily due to the failure of the Medical Director to implement resident care policies and coordinate medical care for a resident, identified as R84. R84 was admitted with a Level 2 PASRR indicating a need for monthly psychiatric services, which the Medical Director was unaware of. Consequently, the facility did not provide the necessary psychiatric services. This oversight was a significant factor leading to the resident's tragic death by suicide, as the resident was found deceased with oxygen tubing wrapped around her neck. R84 had a history of major depressive disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. Despite having a care plan that included interventions for these conditions, there was no documented evidence that the Medical Director or other staff followed up on missed psychiatric appointments or the resident's refusal of facility-provided psychiatric services. The Medical Director, who was also the resident's primary care physician, noted the resident's conditions as stable in several progress notes but did not address the lack of psychiatric care or the resident's refusal to engage with the facility's psychiatric services. Interviews with staff revealed that there were signs of mood changes in R84, particularly after interactions with her spouse, but these were not adequately addressed. The former Social Services Director noted a high score on the PHQ-9 depression scale for R84 but did not pursue alternative psychiatric services after the resident refused the facility's provider. The lack of communication and coordination among the facility's staff, the Medical Director, and external psychiatric providers contributed to the failure to provide necessary psychiatric care, ultimately leading to the resident's death.
