Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mountainside Skilled Nursing And Rehab during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not ensure that residents were protected from abuse, including physical, mental, and sexual abuse, physical punishment, and neglect by any person.
The facility did not promptly report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft, nor did it communicate the results of its investigation to the proper authorities as required.
Two residents in an LTC facility experienced significant medication administration errors. One resident with moderately impaired cognition received Gabapentin doses outside the prescribed time frame, while another resident with intact cognition received multiple medications, including Gabapentin, Carvedilol, and OxyCONTIN, significantly later than scheduled. The facility's policy of administering medications within one hour of the scheduled time was not followed, as confirmed by the DON.
A facility failed to obtain a physician's order for a resident's Foley catheter care, resulting in the catheter not being changed for four months. The resident had chronic kidney disease and other conditions requiring catheter use. The facility's policy required monthly changes, but no orders or documentation were found for the specified period. Interviews confirmed the oversight, and the deficiency was identified after a concern was raised by the resident's representative.
Failure to Protect Residents from Abuse and Neglect
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect residents from all types of abuse, including physical, mental, and sexual abuse, as well as physical punishment and neglect by any individual. This deficiency indicates that there was an incident or incidents where residents were not safeguarded from such harm, as required by regulations. The report does not provide specific details about the actions or inactions of staff, the events that led to the abuse or neglect, or information about the residents involved.
Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect, or Theft
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and did not report the results of the investigation to the proper authorities. This deficiency was identified based on the facility's lack of prompt action in notifying the appropriate agencies when an incident of suspected abuse, neglect, or theft occurred. The report indicates that the required notifications and investigation results were not communicated as mandated.
Medication Administration Errors in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents were free from significant medication errors, as evidenced by the administration of medications outside the prescribed time frame for two residents. Resident #1, who had a moderately impaired cognition, was prescribed Gabapentin for muscle pain, to be administered three times a day. However, on a specific date, both the 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM doses were administered at 12:57 PM, which was outside the facility's policy of administering medications within one hour of the scheduled time. There was no documentation in the progress notes regarding the administration times of the medication. Resident #2, with intact cognition, was prescribed multiple medications, including Gabapentin, Carvedilol, and OxyCONTIN, each with specific administration times. On the same date, these medications were administered significantly later than scheduled, with the morning doses given around 12:50 PM to 12:53 PM, instead of their respective scheduled times. The resident confirmed that they had not received their morning medications by noon, and the Director of Nursing acknowledged that medications should be administered within a 60-minute window of the scheduled time. The facility's policy and job description for medication administration were not followed, leading to this deficiency.
Failure to Obtain Physician's Order for Foley Catheter Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to obtain a physician's order for the care of an indwelling Foley catheter for a resident with chronic kidney disease, obstructive and reflux uropathy, and acute kidney failure. The resident's care plan indicated the use of an indwelling Foley catheter due to obstructive uropathy, with an intervention to change the catheter monthly and as needed. However, the order summary report for active orders did not include any orders for the catheter change or care, and there was no documentation of catheter change or care in the medication and treatment administration records for the specified period. Interviews with the Unit Manager/Registered Nurse and the Director of Nursing confirmed that there should have been an order for the Foley catheter, and it should have been changed every 30 days as per the facility's policy. The facility's Foley Catheter Care and Change Policy, revised in 2014, required monthly changes to prevent infection and other complications. The deficiency was identified when the catheter was changed on 3/13/2024, four months after the previous change, and only after a concern form was submitted by the resident's representative.
