Health deficiencies cited at Jefferson Health Care during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with visual impairment and a history of unsteadiness was transported in a facility van without being secured with a lap belt, despite the driver's training and facility policy. During the trip, the resident was ejected from the wheelchair and sustained facial injuries. The driver did not notify facility staff or call 911 after the incident, and the resident's injuries were only discovered later at a medical appointment.
A resident with a history of anxiety, depression, and schizoaffective disorder was verbally abused by a CMT who yelled and used inappropriate language when the resident refused to take medications crushed in pudding. Multiple staff members confirmed the incident, and the CMT was terminated for poor performance.
Resident Ejected from Wheelchair During Transport Due to Failure to Secure Lap Belt
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident was not properly secured with a lap belt in the facility van during transport, resulting in the resident being ejected from their wheelchair. The resident, who was cognitively intact but had significant visual impairment and was at risk for injury, was being transported for a scheduled medical procedure. The wheelchair was secured to the van, but the resident was not fastened with the required seatbelt, despite the facility's policy and the driver's training. The resident was unable to secure the lap belt independently and did not request assistance from the driver. During the transport, the driver made a series of turns, and the resident was thrown from the wheelchair, hitting their face on the van's console and sustaining facial injuries, including a bleeding and swollen lip and bruising. The driver did not immediately call 911 or notify facility staff of the incident, instead stopping at a convenience store to provide the resident with a napkin and then continuing to the scheduled appointment. The resident was later taken to a dialysis appointment, where a nurse noticed the injuries and contacted the facility's DON. Only after this notification was the resident sent to the emergency department for evaluation. Interviews and record reviews confirmed that the driver had received training on proper transport procedures, including securing residents with seatbelts and following emergency protocols. The driver admitted to not securing the resident and not following required notification procedures after the incident. The facility's investigation determined that the driver failed to perform safety procedures as trained, leading to the resident's injury during transport.
Removal Plan
- Educate staff on appropriate transportation policies and procedures.
- Implement a checklist for transporting residents.
- Institute supervisor ride-along with drivers for training.
- Implement a system of auditing the checklists.
Verbal Abuse Incident Involving CMT and Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from verbal abuse by a Certified Medication Technician (CMT). On the specified date, CMT A was witnessed screaming in the resident's face, using inappropriate language, and calling the resident 'fucking stupid' and 'disrespectful' when the resident refused to take medications crushed in pudding and requested them whole with water. Multiple staff members, including the Housekeeping Manager, Nutritionist, and Maintenance Manager, confirmed the incident through written statements and interviews, noting that CMT A was yelling at the resident and being very loud. The resident involved had a history of anxiety, depression, schizoaffective disorder, and dysphagia. The resident's care plan indicated that medications should be crushed and provided in pudding or applesauce due to recent difficulty in swallowing medications. Despite this, the resident expressed a preference for taking medications whole with water, which led to the confrontation with CMT A. The resident's care plan also noted that the resident could become easily agitated and had a history of rejecting care and exhibiting verbal and physical behaviors. During the incident, the Maintenance Manager and Nutritionist intervened, separating CMT A from the resident and instructing CMT A to leave the room. The resident and witnesses reported feeling that the incident was inappropriate, although the resident stated they felt safe at the facility. The facility's investigation confirmed the verbal abuse, and CMT A was subsequently terminated for poor performance. The facility's undated Abuse and Neglect Policy emphasizes the residents' right to be free from abuse and the responsibility of staff to report and prevent such incidents.
