Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Presbyterian Village Of Homer during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Missing Consent for Psychotropic Medication Use: The facility failed to document consent for psychotropic/antipsychotic medication use for two residents. One resident with depression, anxiety, and dementia was receiving Zyprexa, and another resident with depression and dementia was receiving Lexapro; neither record contained consent documentation, and the DON acknowledged the missing consents.
Incorrect MDS Coding for Dialysis. A resident admitted with ESRD had a physician order for hemodialysis three times weekly, but the Quarterly MDS incorrectly marked dialysis as “No” under special treatments, procedures, and programs. An MDS Care Plan Coordinator later confirmed the resident was receiving dialysis and should have been coded “Yes.”
Broken Dumpster Lids: An observation found one dumpster with 2 yellow lids that were broken and unable to cover the top of the dumpster. S5 Maintenance stated the lids had been broken for a while, and the Maintenance Supervisor verified the lids were not in working order.
The facility did not implement its policies to protect residents from abuse, neglect, and exploitation by failing to verify criminal background checks and CNA Registry checks for 17 agency staff before they worked with residents. The administrator admitted to relying on the agency's assurance without obtaining necessary documentation, posing a risk to all residents.
A facility failed to conduct quarterly smoking assessments for a resident with cerebral infarction and memory deficit, as required by their policy. The resident, who needed extensive assistance and had a BIMS score indicating an inability to be tested, was observed smoking without a recent assessment. The DON confirmed assessments were done yearly instead of quarterly.
The facility failed to ensure CNAs used PPE as required by Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) for two residents at risk of MDRO transmission. Observations revealed CNAs transferring residents without gowns and gloves, despite clear signage and training. One CNA did not see the EBP sign, and another was not wearing the required PPE during a transfer.
The facility did not submit the required PBJ staffing data for Fiscal Year Quarter 1 (10/2023 - 12/2023) to CMS. This deficiency was identified during a review of the facility's PBJ Staffing Data Report, and the administrator acknowledged the failure to submit the data. The facility had 46 residents at the time.
Missing Consent for Psychotropic Medication Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure residents and/or their responsible parties were informed of the risks, benefits, and side effects of psychotropic/antipsychotic medications for 2 of 5 residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. Resident #3 was admitted with diagnoses including major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and dementia with other behavioral disturbance, and was receiving Zyprexa 5 mg by mouth daily for dementia with other behavioral disturbance; the medical record did not contain documentation of consent for the use of Zyprexa. Resident #40 was admitted with diagnoses including major depressive disorder, unspecified dementia, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety, and was receiving Lexapro 20 mg by mouth daily for major depressive disorder; the medical record also did not contain documentation of consent for the use of Lexapro. During interview, the DON acknowledged that both residents did not have consent in place for these medications and should have.
Incorrect MDS Coding for Dialysis
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately assess a resident admitted with end stage renal disease during the quarterly MDS review. The resident had a physician order for hemodialysis three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but the Quarterly MDS incorrectly answered “No” for special treatments, procedures, and programs for dialysis. During interview, the MDS Care Plan Coordinator reviewed the Quarterly MDS and confirmed the resident was receiving dialysis treatments and should have been coded “Yes” for dialysis.
Broken Dumpster Lids
Penalty
Summary
Dispose of garbage and refuse properly was cited after observation and interviews showed the provider failed to ensure dumpster lids were in working order. On 07/01/2026 at 8:45 a.m., one dumpster was observed with 2 yellow lids that were broken and unable to cover the top of the dumpster. During an interview at 8:50 a.m., S5 Maintenance stated the yellow dumpster lids had been broken for a while. At 9:00 a.m., S6 Maintenance Supervisor verified the two yellow dumpster lids were not in working order.
Failure to Verify Background Checks for Agency Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement written policies and procedures to protect residents from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of their property. Specifically, the facility did not obtain documentation of criminal background checks, Adverse Actions checks, or CNA Registry checks for 17 unlicensed Agency/Contract Staff before allowing them to work with residents. This oversight had the potential to affect all residents in the facility, as these checks are crucial in ensuring that staff members do not have a history of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The facility's existing policies, such as the Freedom from Abuse, Neglect, & Exploitation policy and the Abuse Prevention Program, require screening of potential employees, including background checks and registry checks. However, these policies were not followed in practice. During an interview, the facility's administrator admitted that they relied on the agency's word that the contracted staff had been screened, without obtaining the necessary documentation. This lack of documentation and verification represents a significant deficiency in the facility's procedures to protect residents from potential harm.
Failure to Conduct Quarterly Smoking Assessments
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a comprehensive assessment for a resident's safe smoking practices as required by their policy. The facility's smoking policy mandates that residents who smoke should be assessed upon admission, quarterly, and whenever there is a significant change in their ability to safely handle smoking products. However, a review of the medical record for a resident with diagnoses including cerebral infarction with hemiplegia and memory deficit revealed that the most recent smoking assessment was conducted in June 2023, and no quarterly assessments were documented thereafter. The resident, who required extensive to total assistance for most activities of daily living and had a BIMS score indicating an inability to be tested, was observed smoking in the designated area. The Director of Nursing confirmed that smoking assessments were conducted yearly instead of quarterly, as required by the facility's policy.
Failure to Adhere to Enhanced Barrier Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) adhered to the Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) policy, which mandates the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities. This deficiency was observed in the care of two residents who were on EBP due to their risk of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) transmission. On two separate occasions, CNAs were observed transferring residents without wearing the required gown and gloves, despite clear signage indicating the necessity of such precautions. One CNA, identified as S4, was observed assisting a resident with a transfer from bed to wheelchair without wearing a gown or gloves, even though an EBP sign was posted on the resident's door. Another CNA, S9, who was an agency staff member, transferred a resident from a wheelchair to bed wearing only a mask and gloves, claiming she did not see the EBP sign and noting the absence of a PPE cart outside the resident's door. Despite being trained on the facility's EBP, S9 acknowledged the need for a gown during the transfer. The Director of Nursing confirmed that all staff should wear gowns and gloves when transferring residents on EBP.
Failure to Submit PBJ Staffing Data
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to electronically submit the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) staffing data as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The deficiency was identified during a review of the facility's PBJ Staffing Data Report for Fiscal Year Quarter 1 (10/2023 - 12/2023), which revealed that the facility did not submit the necessary staffing data. During an interview, the administrator admitted to not submitting the PBJ staffing data for the specified quarter. The facility had a census of 46 residents at the time of the report.
