Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Clark's Mountain Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure that three NAs completed their training and certification within four months of employment, as required by policy. NA F, NA G, and NA H did not meet the certification deadline, potentially affecting all residents. Despite the facility's policy, the necessary compliance was not achieved.
The facility failed to properly explain arbitration agreements to residents, affecting their understanding and consent. Several residents, including those with impaired cognition, were unaware of the agreement's details or their rights regarding it. The Social Service Designee, responsible for explaining the agreement, lacked awareness of key aspects, leading to a deficiency.
The facility failed to follow proper infection prevention practices during care for several residents, including inadequate hand hygiene and glove changes during incontinent and wound care. Staff did not adhere to enhanced barrier precautions for a resident requiring them, and interviews revealed a lack of understanding of infection control policies.
Failure to Ensure Timely Certification of Nurse Aides
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that three nurse aides (NAs) completed their required training and certification within four months of their employment, as mandated by the facility's policy. NA F, NA G, and NA H were identified as not having completed the necessary training and certification within the specified timeframe. NA F was attending the nurse aide program but did not complete it within four months of their hire date. NA G completed the program but had not taken the certification test within the required period. NA H was attending the program but also did not complete it within the four-month window. The facility's policy requires that NAs provide documentation of certification within four months of their hire date, and those who do not complete the required training and competency evaluation program within this period are not allowed to perform nurse aide duties until certification is verified. Despite this policy, the facility did not ensure compliance for the three NAs, potentially affecting all residents in the facility. During an interview, the Administrator and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) stated that they ensure nurse aides complete their training within the required timeframe, but the records reviewed indicated otherwise.
Failure to Properly Explain Arbitration Agreements
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the arbitration agreement was explained in a form and manner that correctly described the arbitration process for four residents, potentially affecting 51 other residents who had signed the agreement. The facility's policy stated that residents should be informed of their right not to sign the agreement as a condition of admission and that the agreement should be explained in a way they understand. However, interviews and record reviews revealed that residents were either unaware of the arbitration agreement or did not understand it. For instance, one resident with moderately impaired cognition signed the agreement while very sick and unable to define what it was. Another resident, who was cognitively intact, was not aware of the agreement despite being his own responsible party for finances. The Social Service Designee (SSD) was responsible for explaining the arbitration agreement during admission but admitted to being unaware of the time frame for rescinding the agreement until reading the policy. The SSD's explanation of the agreement was vague, mentioning it had to do with Missouri law and insurance agreements. The facility's administrator confirmed that the SSD was responsible for going over the arbitration agreement with residents during admission. This lack of proper explanation and understanding of the arbitration agreement process led to the deficiency identified by the surveyors.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to proper infection prevention and control practices during the provision of care to several residents. Observations revealed that staff members did not perform hand hygiene or change gloves appropriately during incontinent care for multiple residents. For instance, during care for one resident, a nurse aide failed to perform hand hygiene and change gloves between dirty and clean tasks, such as wiping the peri-area and applying barrier cream. This lack of proper hand hygiene and glove changing was consistent across several instances of care provided to different residents. In another instance, during wound care for a resident, the LPN did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene between handling soiled dressings and clean supplies. The LPN also used unclean scissors to cut clean dressings, further compromising infection control practices. These actions were contrary to the facility's policies on hand hygiene and enhanced barrier precautions, which require staff to perform hand hygiene and change gloves when transitioning from dirty to clean tasks. Additionally, the facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions for a resident with an order for such precautions. Staff members did not wear the required personal protective equipment during a mechanical lift transfer, despite signage indicating the need for enhanced barrier precautions. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of understanding and adherence to the facility's infection prevention policies, contributing to the deficiencies observed during the survey.
