Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Sunset Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Staff failed to prevent a resident with a history of aggression and severe cognitive impairment from physically striking another resident with Alzheimer's disease on two occasions, despite care plan interventions and staff presence. The aggressive resident was able to leave their room and assault the other resident twice, indicating a lapse in supervision and monitoring.
Facility staff issued an emergency discharge notice for a resident with aggressive behavior without securing an appropriate long-term transfer location, instead sending the resident to a local hospital. The administrator acknowledged the hospital was not a suitable placement, and the resident's guardian reported the facility would not allow the resident to return, complicating efforts to find alternative placement due to the resident's complex diagnoses.
Failure to Prevent Resident-to-Resident Physical Abuse
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to protect a resident from being physically struck by another resident on two separate occasions. The incident occurred when a resident with severe cognitive impairment, Huntington's disease, and a history of aggression reached out and hit another resident with moderate cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease as the latter wandered past the aggressor's doorway. Staff immediately separated the residents after the first incident. While staff were redirecting the resident who had been struck, the aggressive resident managed to come around staff and struck the same resident again, twice, with a closed fist to the chest. The aggressive resident had documented behavioral issues, including aggression toward others and accusations against staff, and was supposed to be on frequent checks and in sight of two staff members at all times. Despite these interventions, the second physical altercation occurred in the presence of staff. Interviews with staff confirmed that the aggressive resident was able to leave their room and physically assault the other resident a second time, even after the initial separation. Documentation and staff statements indicate that the aggressive resident's care plan included measures to monitor and manage aggressive behaviors, but these were not sufficient to prevent the repeated physical altercations.
Failure to Provide Appropriate Emergency Discharge and Safe Transfer Location
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to provide an appropriate emergency discharge notice and did not secure a suitable location for transfer when a resident was ready to discharge from the hospital. According to the facility's own Discharge and Transfer - Involuntary Policy, residents must not be transferred or discharged unless specific criteria are met, and the facility must ensure a safe and orderly transfer, including allowing the resident to participate in the decision of where to transfer. In this case, staff documented an immediate discharge notice for a resident due to aggressive behavior toward another resident, indicating the resident would be discharged to the local hospital. Interviews revealed that the administrator acknowledged the resident was too aggressive to remain at the facility and admitted there was an issue with the hospital not being an appropriate long-term placement. The resident's guardian confirmed that the facility issued an emergency discharge to the hospital, which was not a safe long-term solution, and stated that the facility would not allow the resident to return. The guardian also noted difficulty in finding alternative placement due to the resident's complex diagnoses.
