Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Garden View Care Center At Dougherty Ferry during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A cognitively impaired resident with dementia reported alleged sexual abuse to a family member, which was then communicated to the facility staff. Despite the facility's policy requiring timely reporting of such allegations, the incident was not reported to the Department of Health and Senior Services. An internal investigation deemed the allegations unsubstantiated, but the failure to report constitutes a deficiency.
A facility failed to thoroughly investigate a resident's allegation of sexual abuse, as required by their policy. The cognitively impaired resident reported the incident to a family member, who informed the facility. The investigation was concluded within two hours without interviewing other residents or suspending the accused staff member. The facility did not report the allegations to DHSS, and the ADON and DON did not follow the facility's abuse policy.
Failure to Report Alleged Abuse Timely
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its abuse policy by not reporting an allegation of sexual abuse in a timely manner. A resident, who was cognitively impaired and diagnosed with dementia, anxiety, and depression, allegedly reported to a family member that someone was being sexually inappropriate with them in the shower. The family member relayed this information to the nurse, who then spoke with the resident. The resident denied the allegations, stating that their family member was making things up. Despite the denial, the facility's policy required that such allegations be reported to the appropriate authorities within two hours if they involved serious bodily injury or within 24 hours otherwise. The facility conducted an internal investigation, which included interviewing the resident and staff. The resident continued to deny the allegations, and the staff member involved, a CNA, stated that they only touched the resident's knees and back during the shower. The investigation concluded that the allegations were unsubstantiated, and the resident was placed on frequent checks as a precaution. However, the facility did not report the incident to the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) as required by their policy. Interviews with facility staff, including the ADON, DON, and Administrator, revealed a lack of clarity and adherence to the reporting protocol. The ADON and DON both indicated uncertainty about whether the incident should have been reported to DHSS, and the Administrator confirmed that the allegations were not reported. The facility's failure to report the incident to the appropriate authorities constitutes a deficiency in following their abuse policy and regulatory requirements.
Failure to Thoroughly Investigate Abuse Allegation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a thorough investigation into an allegation of sexual abuse reported by a resident to a family member. The resident, who was cognitively impaired and diagnosed with dementia, anxiety, and depression, reported the incident to a family member, who then informed the facility. The facility initiated an investigation but did not interview other residents who might have been involved or witnessed the incident, as required by their abuse policy. The facility's policy mandates that all reports of abuse be thoroughly investigated, including interviewing other residents who received care from the accused employee. However, the investigation was concluded within two hours, and the facility determined the allegations were unsubstantiated without interviewing other residents or suspending the accused staff member. The resident's family was informed, and the resident was placed on frequent checks, but the facility did not report the allegations to the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS). Interviews with staff revealed that the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the Director of Nursing (DON) did not follow the facility's policy for reporting and investigating abuse allegations. The ADON did not suspend the accused staff member, and the DON concluded the investigation without further interviews. The Administrator also did not report the allegations to DHSS, as they believed the allegations were unsubstantiated. This lack of thorough investigation and reporting constitutes a deficiency in the facility's handling of abuse allegations.
