Health deficiencies cited at Good Samaritan Society - Albion during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to assess safe self-administration of insulin. A cognitively intact resident with diabetes was allowed to self-administer insulin via an insulin pump, and the care plan and MAR reflected self-administration orders and staff documentation of carbohydrate counts and insulin doses. However, no self-administration assessment was found in the record, and the DON confirmed the resident had not been assessed for safe insulin self-administration.
A resident with no cognitive impairment and requiring substantial assistance was scheduled for surgery due to a right foot second toe fracture. The injury, identified weeks prior, was not reported to the State Agency and/or APS as required. The DON confirmed the serious nature of the injury and the failure to report it within the mandated time frame.
A resident with dysphagia experienced a prolonged coughing/choking episode while eating in their room without staff supervision. Despite being on a specialized diet and having a care plan recommending supervision, the resident was left unattended, leading to a potential accident. Interviews confirmed the resident's risk for choking and the lack of close monitoring by staff.
Failure to Assess Safe Self-Administration of Insulin
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to assess Resident 8 for safe self-administration of medication. The facility policy stated that before a physician’s order was obtained, the Resident Self-Administration of Medications Assessment was to be completed to determine whether the resident could safely self-administer medications, and that the resident’s ability to continue self-administration was to be reviewed quarterly and with significant change. Review of Resident 8’s MDS showed the resident was cognitively intact and had a diagnosis of diabetes, and the care plan stated the resident chose to self-administer insulin, could safely administer insulin and change needles, and would self-administer insulin per physician’s order. The resident’s MAR showed orders for a blood sugar transmitter change weekly, an insulin pump change every 3 days and as needed every 6 hours, and Humalog insulin via insulin pump with the resident notifying staff of carbohydrate counts and insulin units administered after each meal. However, no Resident Self-Administration of Medications Assessment was found in the medical record. During observation, Resident 8 counted carbohydrates at breakfast, entered the carbohydrate number into the insulin pump, and the pump delivered the insulin dose needed; the resident then told staff the carbohydrate count and insulin amount, and staff documented it in the MAR. The DON confirmed that Resident 8 had not been assessed to determine whether the resident was safe to self-administer insulin.
Failure to Report Serious Injury in a Timely Manner
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report a serious injury to the State Agency within the required time frame for one resident. The resident, who had no cognitive impairment and required substantial assistance with transfers and toileting, was scheduled for surgery due to a fracture of the right foot second toe. The injury was discovered a couple of weeks prior, and the resident was unsure how it occurred due to a lack of feeling in the feet. The injury was identified on 3/8/24, and an x-ray showed dislocation with lateral deviation, leading to a referral to a podiatrist. The podiatrist's clinical note on 3/19/24 revealed a right foot 2nd digit fracture dislocation with exposed bone, recommending amputation of the toe. Despite the serious nature of the injury, the facility did not report the incident to the State Agency and/or Adult Protective Services (APS) as required. The Director of Nurses (DON) confirmed that the injury was considered serious and required surgical intervention, but acknowledged that the incident had not been reported within the mandated time frame. The facility's policy on abuse and neglect mandates prompt reporting and investigation of such incidents, but this protocol was not followed in this case.
Failure to Prevent Choking Hazard for Resident with Dysphagia
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent potential accidents related to a resident with dysphagia who experienced a coughing/choking episode during meal service. The resident, who had intact cognition and diagnoses including lung disease, heart failure, pneumonia, and dysphagia, was observed coughing excessively while eating in their room without staff supervision. Despite being on a mechanically altered diet and having a care plan that recommended supervision during meals, the resident was left unattended, leading to a prolonged coughing episode caused by a piece of fish getting stuck in their throat. The resident's care plan included various interventions to manage their dysphagia, such as a specialized diet and adaptive equipment, but these measures were not effectively implemented to ensure the resident's safety during meals. Interviews with the speech therapist and the administrator confirmed that the resident was at risk for choking and aspiration due to difficulty swallowing. The speech therapist noted that the resident had been educated about the risks and allowed to consume regular food items upon request, despite the potential hazards. The administrator acknowledged the resident's risk for choking but could not verify that the resident had been closely monitored by staff when eating independently in their room. This lack of supervision and adherence to the care plan contributed to the deficiency observed during the survey.
