Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Genoa Community Hospital/ltc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to store food under sanitary conditions and allowed outdated food to be available for consumption. Observations revealed unlabeled macaroni salad and outdated Jello in the cooler, and food packages stored directly on the freezer floor. The Dietary Manager confirmed these deficiencies.
A facility failed to provide a written notice of transfer to a resident or their legal representative when the resident was transferred to a hospital due to uncontrollable manic behaviors. The facility's policy requires a 30-day written notice, except in urgent cases, but no evidence of such notice was found in the resident's medical record. This was confirmed by the facility administrator.
A facility failed to provide a written bed hold notification to a resident or their representative when the resident was transferred to a hospital ER for manic behaviors and admitted to a behavioral health unit. The facility's policy mandates informing residents of the bed-hold policy upon admission and prior to transfer, but no evidence of such notification was found in the resident's medical record. The administrator confirmed the oversight.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a history of Alzheimer's Dementia was prescribed Haloperidol for Alzheimer's Disease, which is not an acceptable diagnosis for this antipsychotic medication. The facility's policy required a specific condition or behavior to justify the use of psychotropic drugs, but this was not adhered to, as confirmed by the DON.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment suffered a significant unwitnessed fall resulting in a head injury requiring emergency treatment. The facility failed to report the incident to APS within the required two-hour timeframe, as confirmed by the DON and Administrator.
Food Storage and Labeling Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food was stored under sanitary conditions and that outdated food was not available for consumption, which could potentially lead to foodborne illness affecting all residents. During an observation on a kitchen tour, it was found that the walk-in cooler contained two large trays of macaroni salad in Styrofoam bowls covered with plastic wrap, which were not labeled or dated. Additionally, a large bowl of orange-colored Jello was labeled with a date that was 23 days old. Furthermore, the walk-in freezer had three stacks of food packages stored directly on the floor. The Dietary Manager confirmed these findings, acknowledging that the macaroni salad should have been discarded and that food should not be stored directly on the floor.
Failure to Provide Written Notice of Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a written notice of transfer to a resident or the resident's legal representative upon transfer to the hospital. According to the facility's policy, a 30-day written notice of transfer or discharge should be provided to the resident and/or the resident's representative, except in cases of immediate transfer due to urgent medical needs. The notice should include specific information such as the reason for transfer, effective date, location, and contact details for relevant agencies. However, in this case, the facility did not adhere to this policy. Resident 24 was transferred to the local hospital emergency room due to manic behaviors that could not be controlled and was later admitted to a behavioral health unit for psychosis and mania. A review of the resident's medical record revealed no evidence that a written notice of transfer was provided to the resident or their legal representative. This was confirmed during an interview with the facility administrator, who acknowledged that the required notice had not been given.
Failure to Provide Bed Hold Notification
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a written bed hold notification to a resident or the resident's representative when the resident was transferred to a hospital emergency room. The facility's policy requires informing residents and/or their representatives of the bed-hold policy upon admission and prior to any transfer for hospitalization or therapeutic leave. However, upon review of the resident's medical record, there was no evidence that such a notification was provided when the resident was transferred to the hospital for manic behaviors and subsequently admitted to a behavioral health unit. An interview with the administrator confirmed the lack of written notification.
Inappropriate Use of Antipsychotic Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure there was an approved diagnosis for the use of an antipsychotic medication for a resident. The facility's policy on psychotropic medication usage required attending physicians to certify that such medication was necessary to treat a specific condition or behavior, and the consulting pharmacist was to report any irregularities, including inadequate indications for use, to the Medical Doctor or Director of Nursing (DON). However, a review of the resident's records revealed that Haloperidol, an antipsychotic medication, was prescribed for Alzheimer's Disease, which is not an acceptable diagnosis for this medication. The resident in question had severe cognitive impairment and a history of Alzheimer's Dementia, anxiety, hallucinations, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorder. Despite these conditions, the medication was specifically ordered for Alzheimer's Disease, and the resident received multiple doses of Haloperidol over April and May 2024. An interview with the DON confirmed that the diagnosis for the use of Haloperidol was Alzheimer's Disease, which was not appropriate according to the facility's policy and regulatory standards.
Failure to Timely Report Significant Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report a fall with significant injury involving a resident to the state agency within the required time frame. The incident involved a resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including neurocognitive disorder, who required moderate assistance with daily activities and was on several medications, including antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. The resident was found on the hallway floor with a head injury that required emergency treatment, including ten stitches. The incident was unwitnessed, and the facility did not report it to Adult Protective Services (APS) within the mandated two-hour window for significant injuries. The facility's policy on abuse and neglect requires that any incident or suspected incident be reported to the Director of Nursing or Director of Social Services, who would then investigate and report any alleged violations to the state agency and other required agencies. However, in this case, the facility reported the incident the following day, exceeding the required reporting timeframe. An interview with the Director of Nursing and the Administrator confirmed the delay in reporting the injury to APS.
