Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Lopatcong Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses required assistance with ADLs, but the facility staff failed to consistently document the care provided. Despite policies requiring timely and accurate documentation, there were numerous instances of incomplete records in February, as revealed by a survey. Interviews with CNAs, a UM/LPN, and the DON confirmed the expectation for documentation, yet gaps remained unexplained.
Failure to Document ADL Care for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility staff failed to consistently document the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) status and care provided to a resident, as required by facility policies and procedures. This deficiency was identified during a survey conducted on 6/25/24, which included interviews, medical record reviews, and examination of other pertinent facility documents. The resident in question was admitted with diagnoses including a fracture of the neck of the right femur, Parkinson's disease, and a history of falls. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment indicated that the resident had severely impaired cognition and required assistance with ADLs such as toileting, eating, and transfer. However, the Documentation Survey Report (DSR) and progress notes for February 2024 showed a lack of documentation for the care provided or any refusal of care on multiple dates and shifts. Interviews with facility staff, including Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), a Unit Manager/Licensed Practical Nurse (UM/LPN), and the Director of Nursing (DON), revealed that CNAs were responsible for documenting ADL care in the Point of Care (POC) system by the end of each shift. Despite this expectation, there were numerous instances where documentation was incomplete, with no explanation provided for the blanks in the resident's DSR. The facility's policies on nursing documentation and ADLs, revised in May 2023, emphasized the importance of timely and accurate documentation reflective of the care provided. However, the failure to adhere to these policies resulted in the identified deficiency.
