Health deficiencies cited at Carrington, Llc D/b/a The Carrington during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a history of leg amputation and Type 2 DM, who was cognitively intact, was propelling in a wheelchair down a hallway and slowed near a beauty shop doorway where a CNA was standing. Video showed the CNA striking the brim of the resident’s cap with light to moderate force, pushing the resident’s head downward while both of the resident’s hands remained on the wheelchair wheels. Only after the cap was struck did the resident remove a hand and elbow the CNA in the thigh/hip area. The CNA later claimed the resident had touched her buttocks and grabbed her clothing and said she tapped his cap to make him let go, despite video evidence to the contrary, and acknowledged she had prior in-servicing on abuse, neglect, resident rights, and dementia care. The resident reported that the CNA frequently engaged in similar behavior that he did not like, stated he should be treated right, and felt the CNA did not treat him with respect, while facility leadership acknowledged that the CNA initiated the altercation and failed to honor the resident’s right to dignity and respect.
Improperly labeled opened lunch meat was found in the kitchen refrigerator during an observation. Three six-ounce packages of roast beef, turkey bologna, and turkey ham were opened but not dated or labeled, and the Dietary Cook could not recall the exact opening date. The Dietary Mgr confirmed the items were unlabeled and undated and stated staff were supposed to date and label food items when opened.
Incomplete care planning and implementation for hair hygiene and facial hair removal. Three residents had unmet or unaddressed grooming needs in their care plans and daily care. One resident with dementia and an amputation had no personal hygiene interventions in the care plan and was observed with oily hair and facial hair. Another resident with hemiplegia and aphasia had facial hair removal included in the care plan, but staff confirmed it had not been done. A third resident requiring ADL supervision was observed shaving himself with a disposable razor despite staff confirming he should not have razors in the room and needed supervision with shaving.
A facility failed to provide personal grooming, including routine hair care and facial hair removal, for two residents reviewed for ADLs. One resident was observed with oily hair and visible facial hair, and staff confirmed aides were responsible for shampooing hair and addressing facial hair during bathing. Another resident was observed with facial hair on the chin, upper neck, and upper lip, and the spouse and staff stated she preferred to be shaved and that this should have been done during shower time. Records showed both residents required staff assistance with personal hygiene.
A resident room was mopped and left wet without a caution sign, and staff stated the housekeeper had not been trained to place one. In a separate event, a resident on Eliquis with stage 5 CKD, DM2, and Afib was observed shaving himself with a disposable razor, and two razors were found in his bathroom; an LPN, RN supervisor, and the Administrator confirmed he should not have had access to regular razors or shaved unsupervised.
Failure to Treat Resident with Dignity and Respect During Staff–Resident Interaction
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to honor a resident’s right to be treated with dignity and respect when a CNA initiated an inappropriate physical interaction with a cognitively intact resident. Facility policy on Resident Rights dated 10/24/22 states that residents have the right to be treated with respect and dignity. Video footage from the incident showed the resident, who used a wheelchair and had a history including a surgical leg amputation and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, propelling himself down the main hallway. As he slowed near the beauty shop doorway where the CNA was standing, the CNA struck the brim of the cap he was wearing with light to moderate force, causing his head to be pushed down toward his chest. At that time, both of the resident’s hands were on his wheelchair wheels and did not leave the wheels until after the CNA hit his cap. The video further showed that only after his cap was struck did the resident remove one hand from the wheelchair wheel and elbow the CNA in the thigh/hip area. In a phone interview, the CNA stated she believed the resident had hit or brushed her buttocks and grabbed her shirt and bra strap, and that she tapped his cap brim to get him to let go, despite the video showing his hands remained on the wheels until after she hit his cap. She acknowledged she had been in-serviced on abuse, neglect, resident rights, and dementia care and admitted she should have used her dementia training and backed away rather than agitating the resident. The resident reported that the CNA hit the brim of his cap, blamed him for starting the altercation, and that she “always does things like that” even though he did not like it. He stated he should be treated right and that her actions were not right, and although he did not feel abused, he felt she failed to treat him with respect. The DON and Administrator both acknowledged that the CNA initiated an altercation with the resident and that this failed to honor the resident’s right to dignity and respect.
Improperly Labeled Opened Lunch Meat
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly store and label opened food items in the refrigerator during a kitchen tour. Review of the facility policy on refrigerated food showed that opened non-hazardous foods are to be labeled with the name of the food, date stored, and use-by date, and hazardous foods are to be labeled with the name of the food and the date to be discarded or the date stored. During observation of the kitchen, three six-ounce packages of lunch meat were found opened in the refrigerator without labels or dates. During interview, the Dietary Cook identified the items as roast beef, turkey bologna, and turkey ham and stated the packages had been opened a couple of days earlier, but she could not recall the exact date. She stated kitchen staff were supposed to label and date food items when opened and dispose of opened meat within four days of opening. The Dietary Manager confirmed the three packages were undated and unlabeled and stated staff were supposed to date and label food items when opened. She also stated that kitchen staff had been in-serviced and signage was posted, but the task still sometimes got missed.
Incomplete Care Planning and Implementation for Hair Hygiene and Facial Hair Removal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care plans for routine hair hygiene and facial hair removal for three residents. Review of the facility policy stated that each resident should have a person-centered plan of care identifying problems, needs, strengths, and how the interdisciplinary team would provide care. In the records reviewed, the care plans did not consistently include or follow interventions for personal hygiene related to hair care and facial hair removal. For one resident with an amputation below the left knee and dementia, the care plan identified extensive assistance with ADLs, but there were no interventions or tasks addressing personal hygiene care. During observation, the resident was sitting in a wheelchair with prominent gray facial hair on the upper lip and chin and long, visibly oily hair. A CNA confirmed the hair was greasy and oily and stated the facial hair had been present for some time. The MDS nurse confirmed the care plan was not developed for personal hygiene related to hair care and facial hair and stated it should have been. For another resident with hemiplegia and aphasia, the care plan included partial to moderate assistance with oral hygiene and facial care as desired by the resident, but the resident was observed with multiple white hairs on the chin and upper neck and black hairs above the upper lip. The spouse stated the resident liked to keep her facial hair shaved off, and an LPN confirmed the resident had not been shaved in a while and that facial hair removal should occur during shower time. For a third resident requiring supervision with ADLs, the resident was observed shaving himself with a regular disposable razor in his bathroom. Staff confirmed he should not have regular razors in the room, that he required supervision with shaving, and that he was on blood thinners. The MDS nurse confirmed the resident’s care plan was not followed because he shaved himself without supervision.
Failure to Provide Grooming and Facial Hair Removal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide personal grooming, including removal of facial hair and routine hair care, for two residents reviewed for ADLs. Facility policy stated that residents unable to perform ADLs would receive necessary services to maintain grooming and personal hygiene. Resident #1 was observed sitting in a wheelchair in the dining room with prominent gray facial hair on the upper lip and chin and hair that was long and visibly oily. A CNA stated the resident was scheduled for an evening shower and that aides were responsible for washing hair and addressing facial hair during bathing. The DON confirmed that aides were expected to shampoo residents' hair and remove or trim female facial hair during bathing. Record review showed Resident #1 was dependent on staff for bathing and required substantial/maximal assistance with personal hygiene; she was admitted with atrial fibrillation and dementia and had a BIMS score of 15. Resident #25 was observed sitting in a wheelchair eating breakfast with multiple white hairs on the chin and upper neck and scattered black hairs above the upper lip. Her spouse stated she was particular about facial hair and liked to keep it shaved off, and that she would feel better if staff kept her shaved. An LPN confirmed the facial hair was present and stated it should be removed during shower time, adding that the resident had not been shaved in a while and that no one had reported refusal. The CNA supervisor and RN supervisor both stated that facial hair removal was part of personal hygiene and should be completed during the resident's shower. Record review showed Resident #25 was admitted with hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting the right dominant side and aphasia following cerebral infarction, and her MDS showed a BIMS score of 10 indicating moderate cognitive deficits.
Wet Floor Left Unmarked and Resident Allowed Access to Disposable Razors
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a resident room was free from accident hazards when Housekeeping #1 mopped the floor inside a resident room and left the floor wet without placing a caution sign. During the initial tour, the floor was visibly wet from the doorway entrance after mopping, and Housekeeping #1 stated she never left a caution sign in place and had not been trained to do so. The Housekeeping Supervisor later confirmed that caution signs should always be used anytime floors are being mopped and are wet. The facility also failed to provide adequate supervision for a resident who was on Eliquis for unspecified atrial fibrillation. Resident #29, who had diagnoses including stage 5 kidney disease and type II diabetes mellitus, was observed shaving himself in his bathroom with a regular disposable razor. Two disposable razors were later found in his bathroom, and an LPN confirmed he should not have regular razors in his room because he was on blood thinners and at risk of bleeding. The RN Supervisor and Administrator both confirmed that he should not shave himself unsupervised and that having regular razors in his room was hazardous.
