Health deficiencies cited at Shady Lawn Health And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Missing Foley Securement Device: A resident with an indwelling Foley catheter and severely impaired cognition was observed without a catheter securement device in place. Staff noted residue on the inner thigh that appeared to be from a device that had come off, and later the catheter tubing was seen running through the resident's pant leg to a drainage bag with no securement device present. RNs, CNAs, and the DON all confirmed that a securement device is required to prevent pulling and tension, but staff did not report the missing device.
Daily nurse staffing information was not posted in a manner that was readily accessible or readable to residents, staff, and visitors. Surveyors observed the staffing posting behind the nurse's station in a plastic cover, displayed vertically despite being printed in landscape format, with small print that could not be read from outside the station or from the entrance. The DON confirmed the posting could only be read if removed from the cover, and the Administrator acknowledged the display method made the information difficult to read.
The facility failed to provide necessary nail care for a diabetic resident, resulting in long, thick, and discolored fingernails. An LPN confirmed the need for trimming, and the DON revealed that no nail care task had been implemented for the resident, despite the facility's policy emphasizing the importance of nail care to prevent infections and skin injuries.
The facility failed to transmit accurate MDS assessments for two residents. One resident was incorrectly coded as always incontinent despite having both continent and incontinent episodes, and another resident's use of a wander/elopement alarm was not captured in the MDS. These inaccuracies were confirmed by the MDS Nurse and the DON.
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for two residents, one for smoking and another for nail care. A resident who occasionally smokes did not have a current smoking care plan, and another resident had excessively long, thick, and discolored fingernails without a care plan for nail care. Staff confirmed the absence of these care plans, highlighting the importance of care plans in guiding safe resident care.
Missing Foley Securement Device
Penalty
Summary
Failure to provide appropriate catheter care was identified for Resident #53, who was admitted with diagnoses including bladder-neck obstruction and had an indwelling Foley catheter. The resident's MDS showed a BIMS score of 7, indicating severely impaired cognition, and the physician's order included a Foley catheter with routine catheter care. The facility policy stated that indwelling catheters should be secured to the upper thigh or lower abdomen to avoid bladder and urethral trauma. During observation of catheter care, residue was seen on the resident's left inner thigh, and CNA #1 stated it appeared to be from a catheter securement device that had come off. Later, the resident was observed lying in bed with catheter tubing extending through the right pant leg to a drainage bag and no securement device in place. RN #2 confirmed the absence of the securement device, and CNA #3 reported she had not seen a securement device in place during care on two days and had not reported it to nursing staff. RN #1 and the DON both stated that residents with indwelling catheters are required to have a securement device in place at all times to prevent pulling and tension.
Daily Nurse Staffing Posting Not Readily Accessible or Readable
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure daily nurse staffing information was posted in a manner that was readily accessible and readable to residents, staff, and visitors for three of four survey days, affecting all 83 residents in the facility. The facility policy Facility Staff Posting Information, revised 09/2023, stated that staffing information should be clear, readable, and posted in a readily accessible area to residents and visitors. During observation at Station 1 nurse's station, surveyors found a document titled Daily Staffing Posting without Units and with Staffing Ratios posted behind the nurse's station in a plastic cover. The document was displayed vertically even though it had been printed in landscape format, and the print was small and not readable from outside the nurse's station or visible to individuals in a wheelchair. The same posting remained in place on subsequent observations. The DON confirmed the staffing information was posted behind the nurse's station, that only staff were permitted behind the station, and that the document could not be read from outside the station or from the entrance. The Administrator stated he was not aware the posting was not readily accessible or readable and confirmed the current display method made the information difficult to read.
Failure to Provide Necessary Nail Care for Diabetic Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary nail care for a resident, as evidenced by long, thick, and discolored fingernails observed on both hands of Resident #63. The resident, who has Type 2 diabetes mellitus, was seen with nails approximately one-half inch in length. During an interview, an LPN confirmed the need for nail trimming and explained that a Registered Nurse (RN) must cut the nails due to the resident's diabetic condition. The Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that the Wound Care Nurse was responsible for cutting diabetic nails and confirmed that no nail care task had been implemented for Resident #63. The facility's policy on resident hygiene emphasizes the importance of nail care to prevent infections and skin injuries, which was not adhered to in this case.
Inaccurate MDS Assessments for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to transmit accurate assessments for two residents, leading to deficiencies in the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments. For Resident #5, the Admission 5-day MDS with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 4/3/2024 inaccurately coded the resident as always incontinent in Section H-Bladder and Bowel. However, a review of the documentation for the seven-day look-back period revealed that the resident had both continent and incontinent episodes. Interviews with the resident, the MDS Nurse, and the Director of Nurses (DON) confirmed that the resident should have been coded as frequently incontinent instead of always incontinent. Resident #5 was admitted with diagnoses including a fracture of the right patella, end-stage renal disease, and diastolic congestive heart failure, and was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15. For Resident #10, the Quarterly MDS with an ARD of 4/17/2024 failed to indicate the use of a wander/elopement alarm, despite the resident having an active order for a Wanderguard and being observed wearing a wander alert bracelet. The MDS Nurse and the DON confirmed that the wanderguard should have been marked as used daily. Resident #10 was admitted with medical diagnoses including schizophrenia and mild intellectual disabilities. These inaccuracies in the MDS assessments failed to represent an accurate assessment of the residents, as confirmed by the facility staff.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plans for Smoking and Nail Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care plans for two residents, leading to deficiencies in their care. Resident #36, who occasionally smokes tobacco, did not have a current smoking care plan despite having a previous one that was resolved. This was confirmed through interviews with the MDS Nurse and an LPN, as well as observations of the resident's smoking habits and possession of cigarettes. The absence of a current care plan for smoking was acknowledged by the facility's staff, who emphasized the importance of care plans in guiding safe resident care. Resident #63 did not have a care plan addressing nail care, despite having excessively long, thick, and discolored fingernails observed during an inspection. The MDS Nurse confirmed that no care plan had been developed for nail care, and an LPN also acknowledged the resident's need for nail trimming. The lack of a care plan for nail care was identified as a deficiency, as care plans are essential for guiding staff in providing appropriate care to residents.
