Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Life Care Center Of Attleboro during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with AFib, HF, and ESRD on dialysis received Metoprolol despite ordered hold parameters for low SBP or HR, and the MAR showed multiple administrations outside those limits without documentation or provider contact. In addition, an RN left meds at the bedside for two residents instead of observing ingestion; one resident had a tablet left on the bedside table and another was given crushed Tylenol in applesauce at the bedside. The nurse acknowledged not following the facility med administration policy, and the DON stated the practice was not safe or appropriate.
A resident with end-stage renal disease required dialysis services, but the facility failed to ensure complete documentation and communication with the dialysis center. The Pre-/Post-Dialysis Communication Forms were often incomplete, missing vital information such as access site condition and vital signs. The Director of Nursing was unaware of these documentation issues, which were against the facility's policy.
A facility failed to assess a resident's trauma history and identify triggers, despite the resident's known trauma background and frequent agitation. The social worker did not complete a trauma assessment, and the resident's significant trauma history, including the loss of a caregiver, was not documented, violating the facility's trauma-informed care policy.
A facility failed to limit PRN orders for psychotropic medications to 14 days without proper documentation for extension. A resident with severe cognitive impairment was administered Lorazepam without a stop or re-evaluation date, contrary to the facility's policy. Interviews with staff confirmed the oversight, highlighting a lapse in compliance with medication management protocols.
Medication Administration Not Per Physician Orders or Observed Intake
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were administered in accordance with physician orders and accepted standards of practice for three residents. For one resident with atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and end stage renal disease on dialysis, the physician ordered Metoprolol Tartrate 12.5 mg by mouth twice daily with instructions to hold the medication if systolic blood pressure was less than 110 mmHg or heart rate was less than 65 beats per minute. Review of the MAR showed the medication was administered multiple times in August and September 2025 when the resident's documented blood pressure or heart rate was outside those ordered parameters, and the record did not show nursing documentation explaining the administration or that the physician was contacted for an order to give the medication despite the parameters. The facility also failed to ensure medications were observed being taken by two residents. During observation, one resident had a medication cup with a large pink tablet left on the bedside table and stated the nurse left the medication for self-administration and often left medications at the bedside before the resident took them. Another resident was observed spooning crushed medication mixed in applesauce into the mouth after the nurse had placed it at the bedside and left the room. The resident identified the medication as Tylenol. The nurse later confirmed he left a Tums at one bedside and crushed Tylenol in applesauce at the other bedside without staying to ensure the residents took the medications. The nurse stated he knew he was supposed to stay with residents and observe them take all prescribed medication before leaving, and that he did not follow the facility policy. The DON also stated the nurse failed to follow the medication administration policy and that it was not safe or appropriate to leave medications at a resident's bedside. The DON said the nurse is responsible for staying with the resident until the resident is finished taking all prescribed medication.
Incomplete Dialysis Documentation for Resident with ESRD
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper documentation and communication regarding dialysis care for a resident with end-stage renal disease. The resident, who was admitted in May 2024, required dialysis services three times a week. The facility's policy required comprehensive documentation and communication between the facility and the dialysis center, including the completion of Pre-/Post-Dialysis Communication Forms. However, a review of these forms from July 8, 2024, to August 19, 2024, revealed significant deficiencies. Of the 18 forms reviewed, 15 were incomplete, missing critical information such as the condition of the access site, vital signs, and the resident's weight. Additionally, the dialysis center's forms were also found to be lacking essential clinical information, with some forms being completely blank. Interviews with the Unit Manager and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility staff were responsible for ensuring the completeness of these forms. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the forms were incomplete and was unaware of the extent of the documentation issues. The expectation was for the staff to ensure that all necessary information, including weights, treatment details, and the status of the IV access, was documented as required by the facility's policy.
Failure to Conduct Trauma Assessment for Resident with Known Trauma History
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to assess a history of trauma and identify potential triggers for a resident with a known trauma history, leading to a deficiency in providing trauma-informed care. The resident, who was admitted with a diagnosis of dementia, frequently exhibited behaviors such as calling out, restlessness, and agitation. Despite these behaviors and the resident's use of antidepressant medication for anxiety and agitation, the facility did not complete a trauma assessment or include a psychosocial history in the resident's medical records. During the survey, it was revealed that the social worker responsible for completing the psychosocial history and trauma assessment did not have a completed trauma assessment for the resident. The social worker admitted that the resident was unable to answer some questions due to dementia and could not recall if the family was contacted for additional history. Upon reaching out to the family, it was confirmed that the resident had a significant trauma history and had experienced the loss of a child, who was also their caregiver, two years prior. This information was not documented in the resident's records, indicating a failure to adhere to the facility's policy on trauma-informed care.
Failure to Limit PRN Psychotropic Medication Orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that PRN orders for psychotropic medications were limited to 14 days, unless otherwise documented by the attending physician or prescribing practitioner. This deficiency was identified for one resident out of a sample of 23. The facility's policy on psychotropic medication use, revised on 10/24/2022, mandates that PRN psychotropic medications should be ordered for no more than 14 days, with a review by the physician every 14 days. However, the review of the medical records for a resident admitted with diagnoses including diabetes, anxiety, and dementia with agitation, revealed that a PRN order for Lorazepam did not have a stop date or re-evaluation date as required. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment, was administered Lorazepam as needed, but there was no documentation indicating that the PRN order was re-evaluated by the attending physician to extend its use beyond 14 days. Interviews with the Unit Manager and the Director of Nurses confirmed the oversight, acknowledging that all psychotropic PRN orders should be written for 14 days and re-evaluated with documented rationale for any extension. The lack of documentation and re-evaluation for the continued use of Lorazepam PRN constituted a failure to comply with the facility's policy and regulatory requirements.
