Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Humphreys Co Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to notify a resident's representative and the Ombudsman about the resident's discharge due to nonpayment. The resident, with a history of heart failure and renal disease, was admitted to the hospital and not allowed to return to the facility. The facility's Administrator confirmed the absence of a discharge notice and documentation, and the Ombudsman was unaware of the discharge plans.
The facility failed to maintain a clean ice machine, as black spots were found inside the ice maker during a kitchen tour. The Dietary Manager confirmed the machine was not clean and used for both staff and residents. Maintenance staff, responsible for monthly cleaning, had not cleaned the machine since the previous month and was unaware of the black spots.
The facility inaccurately submitted PBJ staffing data for FY 2024's fourth quarter. An LPN's administrative and direct care hours were not properly separated, and a CNA's van driving hours were incorrectly reported as direct care. This resulted in the facility triggering for low weekend staffing.
A cognitively intact resident requested a recliner to avoid spending all day in a wheelchair or bed, but the DON denied the request citing safety concerns without proper assessment or consulting therapy services. The resident's medical history included hemiplegia and epilepsy, but these were not formally evaluated in relation to the recliner request.
A discrepancy was found in a resident's code status documentation, where the physician orders indicated a full code, but the advance directive consent specified a DNR order. This inconsistency was confirmed by an LPN and a Social Services staff member, who acknowledged the potential for confusion in an emergency. The resident had a diagnosis including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and the oversight was attributed to a missed update in the physician orders.
A facility failed to accurately code the MDS Assessment for a resident's discharge disposition. The resident, who was discharged home, was incorrectly coded as being discharged to a short-term general hospital. This error was confirmed by the MDS nurse and acknowledged by the DON as likely a data entry mistake.
A resident with a history of mental health issues, including depression and hallucinations, experienced a significant change in condition with suicidal ideations. Despite this, the facility failed to submit a required PASRR status change, as confirmed by staff interviews. The resident received increased supervision and medication adjustments, but the necessary documentation was not completed.
The facility failed to implement person-centered care plans for nail care for two residents, resulting in long, dirty nails and discomfort. One resident, with hemiplegia and hemiparesis, had nails with a black substance underneath, while another resident with similar conditions had long, jagged nails causing discomfort. The care plans were not followed, as confirmed by staff interviews.
A CNA failed to perform hand hygiene and change gloves between cleaning and rinsing/drying a resident's urinary meatus and catheter tubing, increasing the risk of infection. The DON confirmed the lapse in protocol, which involved a resident admitted with urinary retention and a UTI, who was cognitively intact.
The facility failed to prevent infection transmission due to inadequate hand hygiene and failure to use Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during resident care. An LPN did not perform hand hygiene between glove changes while treating multiple wounds on a resident, and a CNA failed to change gloves and perform hand hygiene during catheter care for another resident. The CNA also did not wear a gown as required by EBP. The DON confirmed the importance of these practices to prevent cross-contamination and infection spread.
Two residents in the facility were found with long, jagged nails and a brown substance underneath, indicating a failure in personal hygiene care. One resident, dependent on staff due to hemiplegia, had nails that could lead to wounds or infections. Another resident, with a history of hemiplegia, expressed discomfort due to long nails on a contracted hand. Staff confirmed inconsistent nail care, with CNAs and nurses sharing responsibilities inadequately.
Failure to Notify Resident's Representative and Ombudsman of Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide timely notification to a resident's representative and the Ombudsman regarding the discharge of a resident. The facility's policy requires that written notice be given to both the resident and their representative when a discharge is sought by the facility. However, in this case, the resident's representative was not informed of the discharge, either verbally or in writing, and the Ombudsman was also not notified. The resident was admitted to the hospital from a doctor's appointment and was not allowed to return to the facility due to nonpayment of financial responsibilities. The facility's Administrator confirmed the absence of a discharge notice and documentation in the resident's record regarding the discharge for nonpayment. The resident involved had a history of Chronic Combined Systolic and Diastolic Heart Failure, End Stage Renal Disease, and Dependence on Renal Dialysis. The resident's representative was under the impression that the resident would be allowed to return to the facility, as communicated by the previous Business Office Manager. However, the facility contacted the hospital the following day to inform them of the discharge. The Director of Nursing noted that the resident was cleared to return to the nursing home after all tests were negative, but the facility did not allow the return due to financial issues. The Ombudsman confirmed that they were not aware of the discharge plans, and the resident's representative expressed concerns about the lack of communication and the opportunity to appeal the decision.
Unclean Ice Machine with Black Spots Found During Kitchen Tour
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean ice machine, as evidenced by the presence of multiple black spots inside the ice maker. During a kitchen tour, an observation revealed seven irregularly shaped black spots, each measuring approximately 5 inches in length, on a white plastic strip inside the ice maker. The Dietary Manager confirmed the presence of the black spots and acknowledged that the ice machine was not clean. She stated that the ice was used for both staff and residents, and a dirty ice machine could potentially make everyone sick. The facility's policy indicated that maintenance staff were responsible for cleaning the ice maker monthly. However, an interview with the maintenance staff revealed that the ice machine had not been cleaned since the previous month, and the maintenance staff was unaware of the black spots inside.
Inaccurate PBJ Staffing Data Submission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to submit accurate direct care staffing information to the Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2024. The Administrator confirmed that the facility did not have a policy on PBJ and acknowledged inaccuracies in the reported staffing data. Specifically, the hours worked by a Case Manager, who is an LPN with both administrative and direct care duties, were not accurately reported, as the facility did not separate her administrative hours from her direct care hours. Additionally, a CNA who also served as a van driver had all their hours reported as direct care hours, despite some of those hours being spent on non-direct care activities like driving the van. This led to the facility triggering for excessively low weekend staffing in their PBJ Staffing Data Report for the specified quarter.
Failure to Honor Resident's Right to Self-Determination
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to honor a resident's right to self-determination by not adequately evaluating a request for a recliner. A resident, who was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, expressed a desire to have a recliner in his room to avoid spending all day in a wheelchair or bed. Despite the resident's ability to make his own decisions, the Director of Nursing (DON) denied the request based on perceived safety concerns, such as the resident's history of falls and seizures, without conducting a proper assessment or consulting therapy services. Interviews with staff revealed that the resident's request was known, but the DON unilaterally decided against it without a formal evaluation. The Rehab Director, who was not consulted, believed the recliner would not pose a safety issue. The resident's medical history included hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and epilepsy, but these conditions were not formally assessed in relation to the recliner request. The DON admitted to failing to honor the resident's rights by not properly evaluating his needs and request.
Discrepancy in Resident's Code Status Documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of a resident's code status in the physician orders, leading to a discrepancy between the resident's advance directive and the physician's orders. Specifically, the physician orders indicated that the resident was a full code, while the advance directive consent signed by the resident specified a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order in the event of cardiac arrest. This inconsistency was confirmed during interviews with a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and a Social Services (SS) staff member, who acknowledged the potential for confusion in an emergency situation. The resident, who was admitted with a diagnosis including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, had their advance directive updated by Social Services, while Medical Records was responsible for updating the physician orders. The discrepancy was attributed to an oversight.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Resident Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment for the discharge disposition of a resident. The MDS for the resident, who was discharged home, was incorrectly coded as being discharged to a short-term general hospital. This error was identified during a review of the resident's discharge records and progress notes, which clearly indicated that the resident was discharged home. The MDS nurse confirmed the coding error during an interview, acknowledging the importance of accurate MDS coding to correctly identify the resident's placement. The Director of Nursing also verified the expectation for correct coding and suggested that the error was likely due to data entry mistakes.
Failure to Submit PASRR Status Change for Resident with Significant Mental Health Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to submit a Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) status change for a resident who experienced a significant change in mental status. The resident, who had been admitted with diagnoses including Visual and Auditory Hallucinations, Psychotic Disorder with Hallucinations, and Major Depressive Disorder, expressed suicidal ideations and worsening depression. Despite these significant changes, no PASRR status change was submitted, as confirmed by interviews with the Social Services staff, the Minimum Data Set (MDS) Nurse Coordinator, and the Director of Nursing (DON). The resident's condition included a statement of wanting to harm herself, which led to one-on-one supervision and an emergency department evaluation. The psychiatric nurse practitioner increased the frequency of visits and adjusted the resident's medication, specifically increasing the dosage of Zoloft. Despite these interventions, the facility did not submit the required PASRR status change, which was necessary to determine if additional services were needed to address the resident's psychiatric needs.
Failure to Implement Person-Centered Nail Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement a person-centered care plan for nail care for two residents, leading to deficiencies in their personal grooming and hygiene. Resident #8, who was admitted with hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction, required extensive assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). Despite the care plan indicating the need for assistance with personal grooming, observations revealed that Resident #8 had long, dirty nails with a thick, black substance underneath, indicating that the care plan was not followed. Similarly, Resident #30, who was admitted with left-sided hemiplegia/hemiparesis related to a cerebrovascular accident, also required extensive assistance with ADLs. Observations showed that Resident #30 had long, jagged nails with a brown substance underneath, and the resident expressed discomfort due to the nails digging into the palm of the contracted hand. The MDS Coordinator confirmed that the care plan for Resident #30 was not implemented, as it did not address the resident's grooming and hygiene needs, including nail care.
Inadequate Catheter Care Increases Infection Risk
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate care and services for a resident with an indwelling catheter. During an observation, a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) did not perform hand hygiene or change gloves between cleaning, rinsing, and drying the urinary meatus and catheter tubing of the resident. This lapse in protocol was confirmed by the CNA during an interview, where she acknowledged that she contaminated the water in the basin by not changing gloves and performing hand hygiene, thereby increasing the risk of infection for the resident. The Director of Nursing, who also serves as the infection control nurse, confirmed that the CNA should have performed hand hygiene and changed gloves between the cleaning and rinsing/drying procedures. The resident involved was admitted with diagnoses of urinary retention and a urinary tract infection, and was cognitively intact as indicated by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15. The failure to adhere to proper infection control practices placed the resident at an increased risk of infection.
Inadequate Infection Control Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent the possible transmission of infections due to inadequate hand hygiene practices and failure to use Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during resident care. During an observation of wound care for Resident #5, an LPN did not perform hand hygiene between glove changes while treating multiple wounds. The LPN confirmed that she only used hand hygiene once during the process and acknowledged that she should have started with the cleanest wound first and performed hand hygiene each time new gloves were applied. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the importance of hand hygiene and starting with the cleanest wound to prevent cross-contamination and infection spread. In another incident, during catheter care for Resident #10, a CNA failed to change gloves and perform hand hygiene after cleaning the urinary meatus and catheter tubing area. The CNA also did not wear a gown as required by EBP for residents with indwelling medical devices. The CNA confirmed that she contaminated the water basin by not performing hand hygiene and changing gloves, increasing the resident's risk of infection. The DON confirmed that Resident #10 should be on EBP due to having an indwelling urinary catheter and that the CNA should have performed hand hygiene and applied clean gloves after cleaning the urinary meatus and catheter tubing. Resident #5 was admitted with a medical diagnosis that included Cerebral Infarction and Functional Quadriplegia, and had orders for wound care on pressure ulcers. Resident #10 was admitted with diagnoses including Retention of Urine and Urinary Tract Infection and was cognitively intact with a urinary catheter in place. The facility's failure to adhere to its own policies on hand hygiene and EBP during resident care led to these deficiencies.
Deficiency in Personal Hygiene Care for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate personal hygiene care for two residents, resulting in long, jagged nails with a brown substance underneath. Resident #8, who was dependent on staff for personal hygiene due to hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a cerebral infarction, was observed with long nails on both hands, including a left-hand contracture. The Director of Nursing confirmed the condition of the nails and acknowledged that the nurses were responsible for cutting the nails due to the resident's diabetic condition. The failure to maintain proper nail care could potentially lead to wounds or infections. Similarly, Resident #30, who had a history of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, was observed with long, jagged nails on both hands, with a brown substance underneath. The resident expressed the need for nail trimming, particularly on the contracted left hand, which could cause discomfort and potential pressure areas. Staff interviews confirmed the inadequate nail care, with CNAs only attending to one hand and the nurses responsible for the other. The lack of consistent nail care for both residents highlights a deficiency in the facility's personal hygiene practices.
