Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Jml Care Center Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to develop individualized care plans for four residents, leading to deficiencies in addressing their needs. One resident's care plan lacked targeted behaviors and measurable goals for Fluvoxamine use. Another resident's plan omitted Zyprexa and specific behaviors for psychotropic medications. A third resident's wound care was not documented, and a fourth resident's plan lacked details for Seroquel use. Staff acknowledged these oversights.
The facility failed to secure treatment supplies and manage sharps containers across three units. Unlocked utility rooms and supply closets allowed resident access to medicated supplies and hazardous items. Additionally, sharps containers were improperly managed, with protruding contaminated materials posing safety risks. Staff interviews confirmed these areas should have been secured to prevent resident access and ensure safety.
A facility failed to ensure proper monitoring of psychotropic medications for three residents. One resident was on Seroquel without clear target behaviors being documented, making it difficult to assess the medication's effectiveness. Another resident on fluvoxamine was not monitored for side effects during all shifts. A third resident on multiple psychotropic medications was not monitored for side effects of Escitalopram and Strattera, and monitoring for other medications was only done during the day shift. The DON acknowledged the need for consistent monitoring across all shifts.
A resident with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia fell, resulting in a large bruise, but the facility failed to notify the resident's Health Care Proxy as required by policy. Although the physician was informed, documentation did not show that the Health Care Proxy was notified, leading to a deficiency.
A facility failed to report an allegation of physical abuse involving a resident to the State Agency within the required timeframe. The resident, who had multiple medical conditions, reported being pushed and shoved by staff, and a family member observed fingerprint marks on the resident's arm. Despite the facility's policy to report such allegations within two hours, the administrator did not report it, citing a lack of further details from the resident and family member.
A resident admitted with multiple health conditions did not receive a written summary of their baseline care plan, as required by facility policy. Interviews revealed that the resident and their family were not informed about the care plan, and there was no documentation of its receipt. Staff interviews indicated a lack of clarity and documentation regarding the process for reviewing and providing the baseline care plan to residents.
A facility failed to obtain a physician's order for oxygen administration for a resident receiving continuous oxygen therapy. The resident, who had chronic respiratory conditions, was observed using oxygen without a current order. Staff interviews revealed that the resident was on hospice care, and the oxygen was for comfort, but the Director of Nursing acknowledged that an order should have been in place.
The facility failed to screen and offer pneumococcal vaccinations to two residents upon admission, as required by policy and CDC guidelines. Both residents lacked signed consent forms and documentation of vaccine education. The Infection Preventionist confirmed the absence of follow-up processes with medical staff and residents regarding vaccination history and education.
The facility failed to accurately complete MDS assessments for three residents, leading to deficiencies in documenting their care needs. A resident receiving dialysis was not coded for it, another receiving hospice services was not documented as such, and a third with a dementia diagnosis was not coded for dementia. These errors were confirmed by the MDS Nurse and acknowledged by the DON.
The facility failed to ensure that residents were seen by a physician every 60 days, as required. Medical records showed that residents had not been seen by a physician for extended periods, with all visits conducted by NPs. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness regarding the schedule of physician visits, and the DON confirmed the required schedule was not being followed.
Deficiencies in Individualized Care Plans for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement individualized, person-centered care plans for four residents, leading to deficiencies in addressing their physical, psychosocial, and functional needs. For one resident with obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, the care plan did not specify targeted behaviors for the use of Fluvoxamine, an antidepressant, nor did it include measurable goals to evaluate the medication's effectiveness and non-pharmacological interventions. This oversight was confirmed by the Unit Manager and the Director of Nursing (DON), who acknowledged the absence of specific, targeted behaviors and measurable goals in the care plan. Another resident with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and anxiety disorder was receiving multiple psychotropic medications, including Zyprexa, which was not included in the care plan. The care plan also lacked identification of resident-specific targeted behaviors for the use of antianxiety and antidepressant medications, as well as measurable goals to assess the effectiveness of these medications and non-pharmacological interventions. The Unit Manager and the DON both recognized the need for the inclusion of Zyprexa and the identification of targeted behaviors in the care plan. A third resident with peripheral vascular disease had an unhealed wound on the right medial calf, but the care plan did not include documentation related to this active wound or the resident's treatment by the Wound Clinic. The Unit Manager and the DON noted that the care plan should have been updated to reflect the resident's specific needs and treatment. Lastly, a resident with anxiety and Parkinson's disease was receiving Seroquel, an antipsychotic medication, but the care plan did not include a comprehensive plan for its use, including targeted signs/symptoms, resident-specific interventions, and measurable goals. The Unit Manager and the DON acknowledged the lack of an individualized care plan for the antipsychotic medication.
Facility Fails to Secure Treatment Supplies and Manage Sharps Containers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe environment free from accident hazards across three units, as observed by surveyors. On the Naushon Unit, the Clean Utility Room was found unlocked, allowing access to medicated treatment supplies and an unlocked treatment cart. These supplies included various creams, ointments, and disinfectants, which should have been secured to prevent resident access. Interviews with staff revealed that the room lacked a lock due to the presence of an eye wash station, but treatment supplies should have been stored in a locked cabinet. On the Nobska Unit, similar issues were observed with the Clean Utility Room being unlocked and accessible, containing medicated treatment supplies and an unlocked treatment cart. Additionally, the Daily Supply Closet was found with the key left in the lock, making it accessible to residents. This closet contained items such as razors and alcohol-based products, posing a safety risk. Staff interviews confirmed that these areas should have been secured to prevent resident access. For Resident #33 on the Nobska Unit, a sharps container was observed with a blood-filled tubing protruding, posing a risk of needlestick injuries and exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Similarly, in Resident #73's room on the Penzance Unit, a sharps container was overfilled with contaminated materials protruding, increasing the risk of exposure. Interviews with staff indicated a lack of routine checks and replacement of sharps containers, contributing to these safety hazards.
Failure to Monitor Psychotropic Medication Use and Side Effects
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that three residents' drug regimens were free from unnecessary psychotropic medications. For one resident, the facility did not adequately identify and monitor target behaviors related to the use of Seroquel, an antipsychotic medication. The resident, who had diagnoses including anxiety and Parkinson's disease, was receiving Seroquel without a clear indication for its use. Interviews with staff revealed inconsistencies in understanding and documenting the resident's behaviors, such as hallucinations and calling out, which were not accurately reflected in the behavior monitoring sheets. This lack of specific documentation made it difficult to assess the effectiveness of the medication. Another resident, diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression, was receiving fluvoxamine, an antidepressant, with an increased dose. However, the facility failed to monitor the resident for potential side effects of the medication during all shifts. Monitoring was only conducted during the evening shift, neglecting the day and night shifts. This oversight in monitoring could potentially overlook adverse effects that may occur outside the evening shift. A third resident, with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and anxiety disorder, was on multiple psychotropic medications, including Ativan, Depakote, Remeron, Zyprexa, and Strattera. The facility failed to monitor for side effects of Escitalopram and Strattera and only monitored for side effects of other medications during the day shift. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that monitoring should occur during all shifts and for all medications, indicating a lapse in the facility's adherence to its own policies regarding medication monitoring.
Failure to Notify Health Care Proxy of Resident Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the Health Care Proxy of a resident who experienced a fall, resulting in a deficiency. The resident, who was admitted in October 2023, had diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and anxiety disorder. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment indicated the resident had moderate cognitive impairment and an activated Health Care Proxy. On January 19, 2025, the resident fell and sustained a large bruise on the midback. Although the resident's physician was notified, there was no documentation indicating that the Health Care Proxy was informed of the incident. The facility's policies require that both the physician and the responsible party be notified at the time of such occurrences, with documentation in the incident report and nurse's notes. However, a review of the medical record and fall incident report revealed a lack of evidence that the Health Care Proxy was notified. Interviews with the Unit Manager and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the notification should have been made and documented, but it was not, leading to the deficiency.
Failure to Report Alleged Abuse in a Timely Manner
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of physical abuse involving a resident to the State Agency within the mandated timeframes. The facility's policy requires that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment be reported immediately, but no later than two hours after the allegation is made. In this case, a resident reported to a surveyor that staff were pushing and shoving them late at night, and a family member observed fingerprint marks on the resident's arm, suggesting possible abuse. However, the facility did not report this allegation to the State Agency as required. The resident involved had a history of multiple medical conditions, including an open wound, atrial fibrillation, sleep apnea, major depressive disorder, venous insufficiency, falls, and hearing loss. Despite the resident being cognitively intact, as indicated by a BIMS score of 13 out of 15, the facility's administrator did not report the allegation because the resident and family member did not provide further details. The administrator acknowledged that the report should have been made within two hours but was not, and an investigation was in progress at the time of the surveyor's interview.
Failure to Provide Baseline Care Plan Summary to Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a resident with a written summary of the baseline care plan upon admission, as required by their policy. The baseline care plan should include initial goals, physician orders, dietary orders, therapy services, social services, and PASARR recommendations if applicable. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, and a history of falls, did not receive this summary, nor was there documentation of its receipt in the resident's clinical record. Interviews with the resident and their daughter revealed that no care plan meeting occurred within the first several days of admission, and they did not receive a copy of the care plan. The resident expressed that they had not been informed about their care plan and had not seen the social worker until much later. The social worker confirmed that while she met with the resident for an assessment, she did not review a summary of the baseline care plan with them, and there was no documentation to indicate that the resident or their representative received this information. Further interviews with facility staff, including a nurse and the Director of Nurses (DON), indicated a lack of clarity and documentation regarding the process for reviewing and providing the baseline care plan to residents. The DON acknowledged the absence of a signed or dated baseline care plan in the resident's record, which would have confirmed that the plan was reviewed with the resident. This deficiency highlights a failure in the facility's process to ensure that residents are informed of their care plans upon admission.
Failure to Obtain Physician's Order for Oxygen Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide respiratory care consistent with professional standards of practice for a resident who was receiving continuous oxygen therapy. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses including chronic respiratory failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was observed using a nasal cannula connected to an oxygen concentrator delivering 2 liters per minute of oxygen. However, a review of the resident's current physician's orders revealed that there was no order for the administration of oxygen, which is considered a medication and should be prescribed. Interviews with nursing staff and the Director of Nurses (DON) revealed that the resident was admitted to hospice care for symptom management, and the oxygen was being used for comfort. Despite this, the DON acknowledged that there should have been an order for oxygen, as it is a medication. The order for oxygen was initially entered and signed off by the physician but was discontinued the same day without a clear reason. The DON explained that the Unit Manager discontinued the order because it was a titrated order requiring monitoring and forgot to enter a new order for oxygen for comfort measures.
Failure to Screen and Offer Pneumococcal Vaccination
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents were properly screened and offered the pneumococcal vaccination upon admission, as required by their own policy and CDC guidelines. Resident #33, admitted in February 2024, did not have a signed Immunization Consent form indicating consent or declination of the pneumococcal vaccine. Additionally, the Medication Reconciliation form for this resident did not indicate a history of pneumococcal vaccination and was not signed by a physician or nurse practitioner. There was also no documentation of education provided to the resident about the vaccine. The Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS) form indicated that Resident #33 had received a pneumococcal vaccine in June 2016. Similarly, Resident #67, admitted in June 2024, also lacked a signed Immunization Consent form and the Medication Reconciliation form did not reflect any history of pneumococcal vaccination. There was no evidence that education about the vaccine was provided to this resident either. The MIIS form showed that Resident #67 had received a pneumococcal vaccine in February 2016. During an interview, the Infection Preventionist acknowledged the lack of follow-up with the physician or nurse practitioner regarding vaccination history and recommendations, and the absence of a process to follow up with residents or their representatives about vaccination history and education after admission.
Inaccurate MDS Assessments for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for three residents, leading to deficiencies in the documentation of their care needs. Resident #70, who was admitted with end-stage renal disease and vascular dementia, was receiving dialysis as per physician's orders. However, the MDS assessment did not reflect this, indicating a failure to accurately code for dialysis. During an interview, MDS Nurse #1 acknowledged the error and stated that the assessment needed modification. Similarly, Resident #6, admitted with dementia and anxiety, was receiving hospice services as indicated by physician's orders. Yet, the MDS assessment failed to document this, which was confirmed by MDS Nurse #1 during an interview. Additionally, Resident #33, who had a documented diagnosis of dementia in multiple physician's progress notes, was not coded for dementia in the MDS assessment. MDS Nurse #1 confirmed the oversight after reviewing the resident's notes. The Director of Nursing stated that the expectation was for all MDS assessments to be completed accurately.
Failure to Ensure Timely Physician Visits for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that five residents were seen by a physician every 60 days, as required by regulations. The facility's policy stated that after the first 90 days, residents should be seen by a physician every 60 days, with visits alternating between a physician and a nurse practitioner (NP). However, the review of medical records indicated that these residents had not been seen by a physician for extended periods, ranging from 238 to 287 days, with all subsequent visits being conducted by NPs. Interviews with facility staff, including nurses and unit managers, revealed a lack of awareness regarding the schedule and frequency of physician visits. Nurse #1 and Unit Manager #2 both indicated that residents were typically seen by NPs, and they were unsure of when physicians visited the facility. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that residents should be seen by a physician every 30 days for the first 90 days and then every 60 days thereafter, alternating with NPs, but was unaware that this schedule was not being followed. The deficiency was identified through a review of physician progress notes and interviews with facility staff. The facility's failure to adhere to the required schedule of physician visits resulted in residents not being seen by a physician for significant periods, contrary to the facility's policy and regulatory requirements.
