Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Amelia Manor Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to notify the State Ombudsman Office of a resident discharge. A resident admitted for short-term respite care with multiple neurologic and psychiatric diagnoses was discharged, but the record showed no evidence that the Ombudsman was notified. The SSD stated non-emergent discharges were usually reported by email, but she could not provide proof of notification and said she was unaware a written Notice of Transfer also needed to be sent after discharge.
A resident with dysphagia, severe protein calorie malnutrition, and a gastrostomy had an enteral feeding order requiring the formula container, syringe, and administration set to be labeled with the resident's name, date, time, and nurse's initials. During observation, the tube feeding bag had no label, and an LPN confirmed it should have been labeled.
A resident with intact cognition and respiratory treatment orders received albuterol nebulizer treatments, but staff left the nebulizer tubing and mask on the resident’s refrigerator without dating, initialing, or storing them in a bag after use. The LPN confirmed she administered the treatments and did not follow the facility’s policy for labeling and storage of the nebulizer equipment.
Hand hygiene was not maintained during wound care for a resident with a stage 4 sacrococcygeal pressure ulcer and a left knee abrasion. An RN changed gloves multiple times while treating both wounds but did not sanitize hands between glove changes or after glove removal, despite the facility policy requiring hand hygiene before moving from a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same resident and after glove removal. The nurse acknowledged she knew hand hygiene was required but forgot, and the infection control nurse confirmed the policy.
The facility did not post complete daily nurse staffing information, omitting total projected and actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed personnel responsible for resident care. Observations and interviews confirmed the deficiency, with the Ward Clerk and DON acknowledging the incomplete postings.
A facility failed to implement a care plan for a resident requiring a left hand splint due to cerebral infarction. Despite a physician's order and care plan intervention, observations revealed the splint was not applied during the day as required. This was confirmed by a CNA and an LPN, highlighting a lapse in following the prescribed care plan.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was found with injuries and later diagnosed with a femoral fracture. The facility failed to report the incident to the state survey agency within the required two-hour timeframe due to communication failures among staff, including unsuccessful contact attempts with the on-call ADON and delayed notification to the Administrator.
A facility failed to accurately code a resident's MDS assessment regarding the use of a wander guard. The resident, diagnosed with Alzheimer's and other conditions, had a history of wandering and an active order for a Wander Alert Bracelet. However, the MDS inaccurately indicated that the wander guard was not used, a discrepancy confirmed by the MDS Coordinator.
A CNA failed to follow infection control protocols by not wearing PPE or performing hand hygiene when caring for a resident on contact precautions due to Norovirus. The CNA also did not disinfect equipment after use, despite clear signage and facility policies requiring these actions.
Failure to Notify State Ombudsman of Resident Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the State Ombudsman Office was notified of a resident discharge for 1 of 1 discharge record reviewed. Resident #87 was admitted for short term respite care and had diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage affecting the right dominant side, spastic hemiplegia affecting the right dominant side, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, recurrent moderate, and anxiety disorder. Review of the facility's Notice of Transfer or Discharge form showed the resident was discharged on 02/23/2026, but there was no evidence that the State Ombudsman Office was notified of the discharge. During interview, the SSD stated that for non-emergent discharges nurses provided a slip so she could notify the State Ombudsman Office by email, but she was unable to provide a copy of an email for this resident. In a later interview, the SSD stated she was unaware that she needed to send a copy of the written Notice of Transfer for non-emergency discharges to the State Ombudsman Office after a resident was discharged.
Unlabeled Tube Feeding Bag
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's enteral feeding was properly labeled. Resident #2 was admitted with diagnoses including dysphagia, severe protein calorie malnutrition, and encounter for attention to gastrostomy. The resident had a physician's order for enteral feeding every night shift that required the feeding administration set to be changed daily and the formula container, syringe, and administration set to be labeled with the resident's name, date, time, and nurse's initials. During an observation on 04/06/2026 at 9:27 a.m., the resident's tube feeding bag and administration set were observed, and the formula bag had no label. During an interview later that morning, an LPN stated that tube feeding bags should be labeled with the resident's name, date, time, and nurse's initials, and confirmed that the resident's tube feeding bag was not labeled and should have been.
Nebulizer Tubing and Mask Not Labeled or Stored Properly
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide respiratory care consistent with professional standards of practice for one resident who had diagnoses including primary lateral sclerosis, atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris, and essential primary hypertension. The resident’s quarterly MDS indicated a BIMS score of 15, showing intact cognition. A physician order dated 06/02/2025 directed staff to change the nebulizer tubing and mask weekly on Friday afternoon if used and to date and initial the tubing every Friday night shift. After the resident received albuterol sulfate nebulizer treatments, observations on 04/06/2026 and 04/07/2026 showed the nebulizer mask attached to tubing laying across the top of the resident’s refrigerator and later across the refrigerator, with the tubing and/or mask not labeled with a date and not stored in a bag. The resident stated the nurse removed it after treatment and placed it on the refrigerator. The LPN who administered the treatments confirmed the tubing was not dated or initialed and was not in a bag, and stated she should have labeled it and stored it properly. Facility staff responsible for infection control and the ADON confirmed the facility policy required nebulizer tubing to be labeled with a date and the mask to be stored in a bag when not in use.
Hand Hygiene Not Maintained During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure infection control practices were maintained during wound care for one resident with a stage 4 sacrococcygeal pressure ulcer and a left knee abrasion. The resident’s physician orders directed daily wound care for both sites, including cleansing, application of collagen and topical medication, and dressing changes. During an observation of wound care, the nurse removed soiled dressings, changed gloves multiple times, and did not perform hand hygiene between glove changes or after glove removal while caring for the resident’s knee wound and then the sacrococcygeal wound. The facility’s hand hygiene policy stated that hand hygiene is indicated before moving from a soiled body site to a clean body site on the same resident and after glove removal. During the observed treatment, the nurse cleaned the wound, changed gloves, and continued care without sanitizing her hands between glove changes, and she confirmed in interview that she knew hand hygiene was required but forgot. The infection control nurse stated the facility’s policy was to perform hand hygiene before applying and after removing gloves during wound care and anytime gloves were used for resident care.
Failure to Post Complete Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post daily nurse staffing information that included the total number and actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed personnel responsible for resident care per shift. On March 19, 2025, at 11:29 AM, an observation revealed that the posted staffing information near the staff time clock, dining room, and nurse's station did not include the required details of projected and actual hours worked. During an interview at 12:30 PM, the Ward Clerk (S7WC) stated that she was responsible for filling out the Nursing Staffing Information and confirmed that it was only posted on the bulletin board near the time clock. At 12:33 PM, the Director of Nursing (S2DON) confirmed that the posting lacked the necessary information regarding the hours worked by the staff directly responsible for resident care.
Failure to Implement Care Plan for Resident's Splint
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement a care plan for a resident, specifically regarding the application of a left hand splint. The resident, who was admitted with a diagnosis including cerebral infarction, had a physician's order dated 02/06/2025, and a care plan intervention initiated on 02/07/2025, both indicating that a left hand splint should be worn during the day and removed at night and for showers. However, on 03/18/2025, observations at 9:27 AM and 10:07 AM revealed that the splint was not on the resident's left hand. This was confirmed by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) during interviews and observations, indicating a failure to adhere to the prescribed care plan.
Failure to Timely Report Injury of Unknown Origin
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an injury of unknown origin involving a resident with serious bodily injury within the required timeframe. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment, was found on the floor with bruising and a skin tear, and later diagnosed with an acute intertrochanteric femoral fracture. The incident was not reported to the state survey agency within the mandated two-hour window, as required by the facility's policy and state regulations. The delay in reporting was due to a series of communication failures among the staff. The LPN who received the x-ray results attempted to contact the on-call Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) but was unsuccessful. The ADON, who was on call, did not hear the phone and only learned of the incident the following morning. The Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator were informed of the incident, but the report to the state survey agency was not submitted until the following day, exceeding the two-hour reporting requirement.
Inaccurate MDS Assessment for Wander Guard Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately reflected their status, specifically regarding the use of a wander guard. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including Alzheimer's Disease, Peripheral Vascular Disease, and Hypertension, had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score indicating an inability to cooperate. Despite having a history of wandering and an active physician's order for a Wander Alert Bracelet, the resident's most recent MDS assessment incorrectly indicated that a wander guard was not used. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview with the Minimum Data Set Coordinator, who acknowledged that the MDS should have been coded to reflect the daily use of the wander guard.
Infection Control Deficiency Due to Improper PPE Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by the actions of a certified nursing assistant (CNA) who did not adhere to established protocols for contact precautions. The CNA entered the room of a resident who was on contact isolation due to Norovirus without wearing the required personal protective equipment (PPE), which included gloves and a gown. Additionally, the CNA did not perform hand hygiene before entering or after exiting the resident's room, nor did she disinfect the vital sign machine and blood pressure cuff after use. The resident in question was experiencing diarrhea, a condition that necessitated contact precautions to prevent the spread of infection. Despite the presence of a sign on the resident's door indicating the need for contact precautions, the CNA failed to notice it and did not follow the necessary procedures. The Infection Control Registered Nurse confirmed that staff should perform hand hygiene and use appropriate PPE when contact precautions are in place, and that equipment should be sanitized before and after use. This oversight in infection control practices was identified during observations and interviews conducted by the surveyors.
