Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pavilion Health Center At Brightmore during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A cognitively impaired resident with poor balance and confusion exited the facility unassisted through the front door while the receptionist was present but did not recognize the individual as a resident. The resident walked along a busy road, fell, and was later transported to a hospital after being found by strangers. The facility's risk assessment and care plan did not identify the resident as an elopement risk, and staff were unaware of the resident's exit until a family member arrived and reported the absence.
A resident with multiple neurological and cognitive diagnoses was administered Seroquel without a clearly documented or observed indication for its use. Despite care plan references to behavioral disturbances, staff interviews and observations did not confirm such behaviors or other symptoms like hiccups or nausea. Pharmacy review highlighted the lack of an allowable diagnosis, yet the medication continued to be ordered and administered.
The facility failed to accurately code MDS assessments for three residents, including incorrect discharge status, omission of hospice care, and failure to document oxygen use and functional status. Staff interviews confirmed that the errors were due to oversight and inaccurate information gathering, despite clear evidence in the residents' records and care needs.
Two residents did not have accurate, individualized care plans: one resident's care plan failed to address ongoing oxygen therapy despite physician orders and continuous use, while another resident's care plan incorrectly included hand mitts that were never used, instead of accurately reflecting the use of an abdominal binder for feeding tube protection. These deficiencies were confirmed through record review and staff interviews.
A resident admitted with a fracture, falls, and incontinence did not have a comprehensive care plan developed within 7 days of the MDS assessment. The care plan failed to address key areas such as ADL function, falls, incontinence, pressure ulcers, and nutrition, despite these being identified in the CAA. Staff interviews confirmed the care plan was incomplete due to oversight.
A nurse failed to use sterile gloves and did not perform hand hygiene while providing tracheostomy care to a resident with a tracheostomy and acute respiratory failure. The nurse used non-sterile gloves, did not sanitize hands between glove changes, and did not use a tracheostomy kit, contrary to the care plan and physician orders. Facility leadership expected proper infection control practices, but these were not followed during the observed care.
A resident with a PEG tube received medications in a manner inconsistent with physician orders, as a nurse combined and administered all medications together instead of separately with required flushes. This resulted in 5 medication errors out of 27 opportunities, leading to a medication error rate of 18.52%, which exceeds the acceptable threshold. The DON confirmed that staff are expected to follow all medication orders.
The facility failed to accurately code the MDS assessments for four residents in areas such as wounds, hospice services, range of motion, and tube feeding. Discrepancies were found between clinical findings and MDS documentation, as confirmed by interviews with staff and administrators.
The facility failed to ensure group activities were planned and executed for rehabilitation residents, leading to residents not being reminded or assisted to attend activities. The Activities Assistant did not have time to ask residents on the rehabilitation side if they wanted to attend activities due to the absence of the Activities Director. This resulted in residents with cognitive impairments not being invited to or informed about group activities, as confirmed by interviews with staff and residents.
The facility's QAA Committee failed to maintain procedures and monitor interventions, resulting in repeat deficiencies in resident's rights, accuracy of assessments, nutrition and hydration status, and infection control. Issues included rough treatment of a resident, inaccurate MDS coding, failure to follow dietary recommendations, and poor hand hygiene practices.
The facility failed to implement their infection control policy when a nurse aide did not perform hand hygiene between residents during meal delivery and another nurse aide failed to doff soiled gloves and perform hand hygiene before exiting a resident's room after checking for incontinence. Both aides had received prior training but did not follow the correct procedures.
The facility failed to recognize the use of an abdominal binder as a physical restraint for a resident with a G-tube and dementia. The binder was used to prevent the resident from pulling out the feeding tube, but there was no care plan, physician order, or documented consent for its use. Staff were unaware that the binder could be considered a restraint, leading to the deficiency.
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for two residents. One resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses had necrotic wounds that were not included in the care plan. Another resident with severe cognitive impairment and knee contractures was recommended to use bilateral knee splints, but this was not reflected in the care plan.
A resident's care plan was not updated to reflect the discontinuation of IV antibiotics and catheter, despite the IV treatment ending and the catheter being removed. This oversight was confirmed by the MDS Nurse and acknowledged by the Administrator.
The facility failed to maintain accurate electronic records for three residents, leading to deficiencies in medication administration, weight documentation, and treatment application. Medications and treatments were administered but not properly documented, and weights were recorded on paper but not entered into the electronic system.
A resident with moderate dementia was without a functional call light for three days, impacting her ability to request assistance. Despite reporting the issue, the call light was not repaired promptly, leading to the resident attempting to manage her incontinence care independently.
The facility failed to post daily nurse staffing information in a prominent location accessible to residents. The staffing sheet was placed on the receptionist's desk in the front lobby, which required residents to manually open double doors to access. Interviews with the DON and Administrator confirmed the long-standing placement and acknowledged its inaccessibility to residents.
Failure to Prevent Elopement of Cognitively Impaired Resident
Penalty
Summary
A severely cognitively impaired resident with a primary diagnosis of toxic encephalopathy, along with other significant medical conditions such as cardiac arrest, atherosclerotic heart disease, and chronic kidney disease, exited the facility without staff knowledge for over two hours. The resident, who required partial to moderate assistance with most activities of daily living and was known to be confused and unsteady on his feet, was last seen in his room by a nurse aide at approximately 9:30 AM. Video footage later revealed that the resident walked unassisted through the lobby and out the front door while the receptionist was present but engaged in conversation with a visitor. The receptionist did not recognize the resident as a resident and did not intervene as he exited the building. After leaving the facility, the resident walked along a heavily trafficked road, fell, and was assisted by strangers who transported him to a fire station 20 miles away. The facility staff became aware of the resident's absence only after a family member arrived for a visit and could not locate him. A search was initiated, and law enforcement was notified. The resident was eventually found and transported to the hospital, where he was noted to have abrasions and swelling consistent with a fall. Interviews with staff and family confirmed that the resident was consistently confused, required supervision for ambulation, and was not safe to walk unassisted. The facility's risk assessment and care plan for the resident did not identify wandering or elopement risk, as there was no prior history of such behaviors. However, the resident's cognitive impairment, confusion, and poor balance were documented. Staff interviews indicated that the resident typically remained in his room and had not previously attempted to leave the facility. The front entrance was unlocked due to the presence of a receptionist, but there was no effective process in place to ensure that residents could not exit unnoticed, especially when staff were unfamiliar with all residents or distracted.

Failure to Ensure Proper Indication for Antipsychotic Medication Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident had an appropriate indication and diagnosis for the use of an antipsychotic medication, specifically Seroquel (Quetiapine Fumarate). The resident in question was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including cerebral infarction, hemiplegia, aphasia, benign neoplasm of cerebral meninges, adult failure to thrive, and vascular dementia with mood disturbance and anxiety. Physician orders for Seroquel were present, and the care plan referenced its use for dementia with behavioral disturbances. However, the quarterly MDS assessment did not indicate potential indicators of psychosis, and staff interviews revealed that the resident did not exhibit behavioral disturbances or symptoms such as yelling, hitting, or pulling at medical devices. Observations showed the resident was largely non-responsive, unable to move extremities, and required significant assistance with care. A pharmacy review noted that the resident lacked an allowable diagnosis to support the use of Seroquel, and the provider subsequently documented indications such as hiccups and nausea associated with cancer, though staff had not observed these symptoms. Orders for Seroquel were updated to reflect these indications, but staff interviews and observations did not confirm the presence of behavioral disturbances, hiccups, or nausea. The medication continued to be reordered upon each readmission without clear evidence of a supporting diagnosis or observed need, leading to the deficiency related to the use of unnecessary psychotropic medication as a potential chemical restraint.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Discharge, Hospice, and Oxygen Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure accurate coding of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for three residents. One resident was discharged to an assisted living facility, but the discharge MDS was incorrectly coded as a discharge to a hospital. The MDS Coordinator, who was new to the role, acknowledged the error and stated that the discharge status should have reflected the actual destination. Both the DON and Administrator confirmed that the MDS should be coded accurately, but were unaware of the reason for the incorrect coding. Another resident was admitted to hospice services prior to admission, but the admission MDS did not reflect hospice care due to an oversight by the MDS Coordinator. Additionally, a third resident with a history of CVA, hemiplegia, and oxygen dependence was not coded for oxygen use on the quarterly MDS assessment, and their functional status was inaccurately documented. Staff interviews confirmed the resident's dependence on oxygen and total care needs, but these were not accurately captured in the MDS. The Administrator and clinical staff indicated that information from therapy, nursing, and physician orders should be used for accurate MDS coding.
Failure to Develop and Implement Accurate, Individualized Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive, individualized care plans for two residents with specific clinical needs. For one resident with congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and a dependence on supplemental oxygen, the care plan did not include any interventions or care area addressing the resident's continuous oxygen therapy, despite physician orders and documentation showing ongoing use of oxygen since admission. This omission was confirmed by both the MDS Coordinator and the DON, who acknowledged that the resident's need for continuous oxygen was not reflected in the care plan due to oversight. For another resident with chronic respiratory failure, hypoxia, diabetes, and epilepsy, the care plan inaccurately included the use of bilateral hand mitts in addition to an abdominal binder for protection of a feeding tube. However, medical records, staff interviews, and the resident's MAR confirmed that only the abdominal binder was used, and there were no physician orders for hand mitts. The inclusion of hand mitts in the care plan was identified as a mistake by the MDS Coordinator, and staff confirmed that the resident never used them. The DON and Administrator both expected the care plan to accurately reflect the resident's current interventions.
Failure to Complete Comprehensive Care Plan After Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan within 7 days of completing a comprehensive assessment for one resident. The resident was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including a left humerus fracture, history of falls, and urinary tract infection. The admission MDS assessment indicated significant care needs, such as upper extremity impairment, partial to moderate assistance with ADLs, frequent incontinence, risk for pressure ulcers, and a history of falls. The Care Area Assessment (CAA) identified several triggered care areas, including ADL function, urinary incontinence, falls, pressure ulcers, and nutrition, with care plan decisions completed for these areas. However, a review of the resident's medical record showed that the care plan only addressed discharge planning, mood disorder, and activities, and did not include focus areas or interventions for the triggered care areas identified in the CAA. Interviews with the MDS Coordinator and the Administrator confirmed that the comprehensive care plan had not been completed as required, and the omission was acknowledged as an oversight by the responsible staff.
Failure to Use Sterile Technique and Perform Hand Hygiene During Tracheostomy Care
Penalty
Summary
Nurse #1 failed to use sterile gloves and did not perform hand hygiene while providing tracheostomy care to a resident with a history of acute respiratory failure and a tracheostomy. During the observed care, Nurse #1 set up supplies without a tracheostomy kit, donned non-sterile gloves, and removed the resident's dirty dressing. After doffing gloves, Nurse #1 did not sanitize her hands before donning new gloves and continued care, including removing and replacing the inner cannula, all without using sterile technique or performing hand hygiene between glove changes. Handwashing was only performed at the end of the procedure. The resident's care plan and physician orders required tracheostomy care with attention to infection prevention. Interviews with Nurse #1 revealed she was aware of the missed hand hygiene but was not aware that sterile gloves were required for tracheostomy care. The Infection Preventionist/ADON and DON both stated their expectations for proper infection control practices, including hand hygiene and sterile technique, but were not aware of the specific deficiencies observed during this incident.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds 5% Due to Improper PEG-Tube Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below 5%, as evidenced by 5 medication errors out of 27 opportunities, resulting in an 18.52% error rate. The deficiency involved a resident with a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube, who had specific physician orders for medication administration. The orders required each medication to be dissolved separately in water, administered individually, and flushed with water between each medication, with a final flush at the end. During observation, the Unit Manager combined all prescribed medications into a single mixture, crushed and mixed them together, and administered them as a single solution through the PEG tube, contrary to the physician's orders. The Unit Manager admitted to not reviewing the resident's medication administration order prior to administering the medications and stated that her usual practice was to combine all medications for PEG-tube administration. The Director of Nursing confirmed that staff are expected to follow all medication orders as written. The observed practice resulted in multiple medication errors for the resident, as the administration did not comply with the specific instructions provided by the physician.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Multiple Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for four residents in various areas, including wounds, hospice services, range of motion, and tube feeding. Resident #399 was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including a periprosthetic fracture and dementia. Despite having wounds on the right heel and great toe, the MDS assessment did not reflect these conditions. Interviews with the Nurse Practitioner (NP) and MDS Nurse revealed discrepancies between the clinical findings and the MDS documentation. The Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator both expressed expectations for accurate MDS coding based on the resident's clinical status. Resident #22 was admitted with diagnoses including venous insufficiency and type 2 diabetes. Although the care plan indicated palliative care, there was no documentation of hospice services in the medical record. The MDS assessment incorrectly coded hospice care, which was acknowledged as an error by the MDS Nurse. The Administrator reiterated the expectation for accurate MDS coding. Resident #11 had contractures in both knees and received physical therapy for limited range of motion. However, the MDS assessment did not reflect this condition. The Rehab Director and MDS Nurse confirmed the oversight. Resident #57, who was NPO and received nutrition via a PEG tube, was incorrectly assessed as requiring extensive assistance with eating instead of total staff assistance. The MDS Coordinator and Regional Quality Assessment & Assurance (QAA) Nurse identified the error, noting that the MDS was completed by a prn MDS staff member who no longer worked at the facility.
Failure to Include Rehabilitation Residents in Group Activities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure group activities were planned and executed for rehabilitation residents, which was important to them. The March 2024 activity calendar showed daily activities at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, including an ice cream social and bingo twice a week. However, the Activities Assistant admitted that she did not have time to ask residents on the rehabilitation side if they wanted to attend activities due to the absence of the Activities Director since the beginning of March. This led to residents not being reminded or assisted to attend activities, as the Activities Assistant was also responsible for other duties, including resident admissions. Resident #37, who was moderately cognitively impaired and had a care plan indicating an interest in group bingo events, was not asked to attend activities after being readmitted to the facility. His Responsible Party (RP) stated that no staff members had come to the room to ask if he wanted to attend activities, and she had to personally take him to the ice cream social. Interviews with the Nurse Aide and Nurse assigned to Resident #37 confirmed that they had not asked him about attending activities, assuming that someone from the Activities Department would do so. Resident #85, who had severe cognitive impairment and indicated a desire to be invited to out-of-room activities, was also not asked to attend group activities. She stated that she loved being around people but could not recall being asked to join any activities. Similarly, Resident #88, who had moderately impaired cognition and expressed interest in group activities, was not informed about or invited to participate in activities. Both residents' medical records lacked activity notes, and the Nurse Aide assigned to them could not recall if they were asked or assisted to attend group activities. The Administrator was unaware of these issues and the arrangement between the Activities Director and Activities Assistant regarding resident activity participation.
Repeat Deficiencies in QAA Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility's Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) Committee failed to maintain implemented procedures and monitor the interventions that were put into place following the recertification and complaint investigation survey. This failure resulted in four repeat deficiencies being cited again during the current recertification and complaint investigation survey. The deficiencies included issues related to resident's rights, accuracy of assessments, maintenance of nutrition and hydration status, and infection prevention and control. Specifically, a resident was treated roughly during personal care, causing her to cry, and another resident was left uncovered in bed in a soiled brief. Additionally, the facility failed to code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately in several areas, including wounds, hospice services, range of motion, and tube feeding for multiple residents. The facility also did not follow recommendations from the Registered Dietitian and Nurse Practitioner regarding reweighing a resident with significant weight loss and addressing subtherapeutic total protein lab results. Furthermore, the facility failed to implement their infection control policy, as observed with staff not performing hand hygiene between residents during meal delivery and assistance, and not doffing soiled gloves before exiting a resident's room to obtain incontinence care supplies. During the interview, the Administrator and the Regional QAA Nurse Consultant acknowledged the repeat deficiencies and attributed them to staff taking shortcuts, the use of agency staff, MDS staffing changes, and staff oversight despite continued efforts to re-educate staff. The Administrator stated that repeat deficiencies were reviewed during quarterly QA meetings, and re-education was provided if ongoing issues were identified. However, the continued failure to sustain an effective QAA Program was evident as the same deficiencies were cited during two federal surveys of record.
Failure to Implement Infection Control Policy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement their infection control policy when a nurse aide did not perform hand hygiene between residents during meal delivery and meal assistance. Specifically, the nurse aide was observed serving meal trays to multiple residents without sanitizing hands between each interaction, despite the presence of hand sanitizing dispensers in the hallway. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) intervened and provided immediate hand hygiene education to the nurse aide, who acknowledged having received prior training on the matter. In another instance, a nurse aide failed to doff soiled gloves and perform hand hygiene before exiting a resident's room after checking for incontinence. The nurse aide was observed wearing the same soiled gloves while retrieving supplies from a clean linen closet, which is against the facility's infection control practices. The nurse aide admitted to knowing the correct procedure but did not follow it at the time. Interviews with the ADON, Director of Nursing (DON), and the Administrator confirmed that all staff had received hand hygiene education and were expected to follow the facility's infection control policies. The ADON, who is also the Infection Preventionist, stated that the staff would need re-education on proper hand hygiene and incontinence care procedures to prevent such deficiencies in the future.
Failure to Recognize Abdominal Binder as Physical Restraint
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to recognize the use of an abdominal binder as a physical restraint for a resident admitted with diagnoses including intracranial hemorrhage, presence of a gastrostomy tube (G-tube), and dementia. The resident's baseline care plan did not include a care plan for the use of the abdominal binder as a restraint, and there was no physician order or documented consent for its use. Staff interviews revealed that the abdominal binder was used to prevent the resident from pulling out the feeding tube, but staff were unaware that it could be considered a restraint. The binder was unfastened during care but otherwise kept in place, and the resident was unable to remove it independently. Observations and interviews with various staff members, including nurses, nurse aides, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), the Director of Nursing (DON), and a Nurse Practitioner, confirmed the consistent use of the abdominal binder since the resident's admission. Despite its use for safety reasons, there was no documentation of a restraint assessment or consent in the medical record. The staff's lack of awareness regarding the classification of the abdominal binder as a restraint led to the deficiency identified in the report.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plans for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop an individualized, person-centered comprehensive care plan for two residents. Resident #399 was admitted with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including a periprosthetic fracture of the left hip and chronic embolism. Despite the presence of necrotic wounds on the right great toe and an open wound on the right heel, the care plan only addressed the risk for pressure ulcers and did not include the actual wounds. The MDS Nurse used the admission nursing assessment, which did not document any skin integrity issues, to complete the care plan and did not update it even after the Nurse Practitioner identified the wounds during an acute visit. Resident #11, who had severe cognitive impairment and contractures in both knees, was recommended to use bilateral knee splints by the Physical Therapy department. However, the care plan did not include this recommendation. The MDS Nurse acknowledged the oversight, and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the care plan should have been comprehensive and included the use of bilateral knee splints.
Failure to Update Care Plan for IV Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to revise the care plan for a resident receiving intravenous (IV) medication. Resident #22, who was admitted with diagnoses including diabetes and retention of urine, received Vancomycin via IV from 2/1/24 to 2/12/24. The IV catheter was removed on 2/14/24. However, the resident's care plan, last reviewed on 3/5/24, still included a focus area for receiving IV fluids via midline, despite the discontinuation of the IV antibiotics and catheter. This oversight was confirmed by the MDS Nurse during an interview on 3/14/24, who acknowledged that the care plan should have been updated. The Administrator also indicated that the care plan should accurately represent the resident's current status.
Failure to Maintain Accurate Electronic Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain accurate electronic records for three residents, leading to deficiencies in medication administration, weight documentation, and treatment application. For Resident #28, the Unit Manager administered an acid reflux medication but did not document it in the Medication Administration Record (MAR). The Director of Nursing confirmed that all administered medications should be documented in the MAR. Medication Aide #1, who was expected to sign off on the medication, was unavailable for an interview. Resident #71 had a physician's order for weekly weights, but the weights were not documented in the electronic medical record for the specified period. Nurse #10 recorded the weights on a report sheet but failed to enter them into the electronic system. For Resident #198, a physician's order specified the application of a medicated cream to the buttocks, but Nurse #12 applied the cream to a different area without proper documentation. The Director of Nursing stated that all treatments should be documented in the MAR and progress notes.
Failure to Provide Functional Call Light for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide Resident #11 with a functional call light to request staff assistance for three consecutive days. Resident #11, who was admitted with moderate dementia and other conditions requiring extensive assistance, was observed on multiple occasions without a working call light. On 3/11/24, Resident #11 was found in her room with her pants and brief pulled down, stating she had used facial tissue due to a lack of toilet tissue and that her call light was not working. Despite pressing the call light, neither the wall panel light nor the light outside the room door turned on, indicating a malfunction. Nurse #6 confirmed the issue and reported it to the Maintenance Director, who acknowledged the problem and stated it was repaired on 3/13/24 after being reported on 3/12/24, although the nurse claimed to have reported it on 3/11/24. Interviews with various staff members, including Nurse Aides and the Maintenance Director, revealed that Resident #11 frequently used her call light for assistance but had been observed propelling herself into the hallway when the call light was not answered. The Maintenance Director admitted that the call light cord was burned out and replaced it, stating that call light audits were conducted monthly, with the last audit on 2/29/24. However, the malfunction was not identified until the call light was pressed and found to be non-functional. The Administrator and Regional Quality Assessment and Assurance Nurse Consultant confirmed that maintenance staff should ensure all call lights are functional for residents who use them. Despite the facility's procedures for daily room rounds and weekly call light audits, the deficiency in providing a functional call light for Resident #11 persisted for three days, impacting the resident's ability to request necessary assistance and maintain her activities of daily living.
Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information in Accessible Location
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post daily nurse staffing information in a prominent location that was readily accessible to residents on five consecutive days during the survey. Observations revealed that the daily nurse staffing sheet was placed on the ledge of the receptionist's desk in the front lobby, which was only accessible to residents by manually opening a set of double doors. This placement made the staffing information not readily visible or accessible to residents. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator confirmed that the current location of the posting had been in use for a long time and acknowledged that it was not in an area easily accessible to residents.
