Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mt Greylock Extended Care Facility during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a suprapubic catheter was irrigated multiple times by nursing staff without a physician's order, despite the care plan specifying that irrigation should only occur if ordered by a physician. The clinical record documented several unauthorized irrigations, and interviews confirmed that staff had been instructed not to perform this procedure without proper orders. This failure to adhere to professional standards and physician instructions resulted in a deficiency.
The facility failed to ensure accurate MDS assessments for multiple residents, including incorrect documentation of ROM deficits, antipsychotic medication administration, insulin orders, and discharge locations. The MDS Nurse acknowledged these inaccuracies during interviews.
The facility failed to ensure that Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) were implemented during high-contact feeding tube care for a resident with a history of intracerebral hemorrhage, apraxia, and recurrent aspiration. Staff did not wear the required PPE, despite clear signage and policy requirements.
Failure to Follow Physician Orders for Suprapubic Catheter Care
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to provide care consistent with professional standards for a resident with a suprapubic catheter (SPC). The resident, admitted with diagnoses including bladder-neck obstruction, obstructive and reflux uropathy, infection and inflammation due to an indwelling catheter, and urinary retention, had a care plan specifying that catheter irrigation should only occur with a physician's order. However, review of the clinical record revealed multiple instances where nursing staff irrigated the resident's SPC without a physician's order, as documented in several nursing notes. The physician's orders did not include instructions for irrigation, only for catheter changes as needed for occlusion or leakage. Interviews with the unit manager confirmed that staff had been instructed not to irrigate catheters without a physician's order, and that the resident did not have such an order. The unit manager acknowledged that the SPC should not have been irrigated and that this practice had been an issue in the facility previously. The resident was observed to have a urinary drainage collection bag in place and reported some issues with the catheter, though was unable to provide specifics. The failure to follow the care plan and physician's orders regarding SPC irrigation constituted a deficiency in care.
Inaccurate MDS Assessments for Multiple Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessments were accurately coded for four residents. For Resident #46, the MDS assessment did not reflect the resident's range of motion (ROM) deficits due to left-sided hemiplegia, despite the resident being dependent on activities of daily living (ADLs) and requiring assistance from staff. Similarly, Resident #78's MDS assessment failed to indicate ROM deficits and the administration of antipsychotic medication, even though the resident had severe cognitive impairment, left-sided weakness, and was administered Risperdal during the assessment period. The MDS Nurse acknowledged these inaccuracies during interviews and confirmed that the assessments were coded incorrectly. For Resident #24, the MDS assessment inaccurately recorded seven physician order changes for insulin, while the Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed no new insulin orders during the assessment reference period. Additionally, Resident #87's MDS assessment incorrectly indicated that the resident was discharged to the hospital, whereas the nursing progress notes confirmed that the resident was discharged to home. The MDS Nurse admitted that the discharge status was inaccurately coded. These inaccuracies in the MDS assessments highlight the facility's failure to ensure accurate documentation of residents' conditions and treatments.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) were implemented to prevent the potential spread of infection for a resident identified as being on EBP. Specifically, the staff did not wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE) during high-contact feeding tube care. The facility's policy indicated that gowns and gloves must be worn for all high-contact care activities, including feeding tube care, for residents with indwelling medical devices. However, during an observation, a nurse was seen administering medication and providing liquid nutrition through the feeding tube without donning a gown, despite the presence of signage and a PPE cart outside the resident's room indicating the need for EBP. The resident involved had a history of intracerebral hemorrhage, apraxia, and recurrent aspiration, conditions that necessitate careful infection control measures. During the observed incident, two nurses were involved in the care process. One nurse assisted in repositioning the resident while wearing gloves but no gown, and the other nurse checked the feeding tube placement and administered medications and nutrition without wearing a gown. An interview with one of the nurses confirmed that they did not follow the EBP protocol during the feeding tube care, as required by the facility's policy.
