Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at United Methodist Communities At The Shores during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with bipolar disorder and later documented schizophrenia had a PASRR level one on file that marked mental illness as “no.” The most recent MDS showed the resident was cognitively intact with a BIMS of 15, but the facility did not complete a new PASRR level one after the new mental illness diagnosis was identified. The DON stated PASRR should be reviewed on admission and reported the facility did not have a PASRR policy.
A resident admitted with significant cardiac and cerebrovascular diagnoses had an order for Eliquis, but the baseline care plan only addressed malnutrition risk and did not include anticoagulant information. The RN/UM and administration acknowledged that anticoagulants should have been included in the baseline care plan within the required timeframe, and the facility policy stated the baseline care plan should be completed upon admission and reviewed within 48 hours.
Failure to care plan for an indwelling urinary catheter: A resident admitted with urinary retention and HF had an MDS indicating an indwelling catheter, but the care plan did not include a focus area or interventions for catheter care. The RN and DON both stated that residents with indwelling urinary catheters should have care plan focus and interventions, and the RN confirmed this resident was not care planned for the catheter.
A resident with an indwelling urinary catheter was observed in bed with the Foley drainage bag touching the floor and not secured to the bed frame, although the privacy bag was intact. The resident had diagnoses including urinary retention and HF, and the MDS confirmed the catheter. The RNM and DON stated the bag should be hung below the bladder and never on the floor, consistent with the facility’s Foley catheter care policy.
Failure to Update PASRR After New Mental Illness Diagnosis
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a new Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) level one assessment after a resident received a new mental illness diagnosis. Resident #4 was admitted with diagnoses including bipolar disorder, muscle weakness, chronic pain, and failure to pneumonia. The resident’s PASRR level one dated 11/2022 indicated that the question asking whether the resident had a mental illness was marked “no.” However, the most recent quarterly MDS dated 7/29/25 showed a BIMS score of 15 out of 15 and listed active diagnoses of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. During interview, the DON stated the PASRR should be reviewed on admission, and later stated the facility did not have a PASRR policy.
Failure to Include Anticoagulant in Baseline Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission that included the minimum healthcare information needed to meet the resident’s immediate needs. Resident #45 was admitted with diagnoses including cerebral ischemia, atherosclerosis heart disease, nonrheumatic aortic valve stenosis, and myocardial infarction, and had a physician order for Eliquis 2.5 mg twice daily as an anticoagulant. The resident’s Individual Comprehensive Care Plan contained only one focus, dated 8/12/25, addressing risk for malnutrition, and did not include anticoagulant or blood thinner information. The admission MDS dated 8/14/25 identified that the resident was on an anticoagulant. During surveyor interview, the RN/UM stated that the baseline care plan should include interventions related to diagnoses and important issues such as pain, skin issues, antibiotics, and anticoagulants, and agreed that anticoagulants should have been included in the baseline care plan within the first 24 hours. The RN/UM reviewed the ICCP with the surveyor and stated that the anticoagulant was not included. Administration later stated that the baseline care plan timeframe was 16 hours with a 48-hour window and that an anticoagulant should be included. The facility policy stated that the baseline care plan should be completed upon admission and reviewed with the resident or representative within 48 hours.
Failure to Care Plan for Indwelling Urinary Catheter
Penalty
Summary
Facility failed to develop and implement a care plan that addressed the medical needs identified on the comprehensive assessment for Resident #34, who was admitted with urinary retention and heart failure. The resident's admission MDS indicated that he had an indwelling urinary catheter, but the current care plan did not include a care plan focus area or interventions for the catheter. During surveyor interviews, the RN stated that care plans are reviewed monthly and updated as needed when residents' needs change, and acknowledged that residents with indwelling urinary catheters should have focus and interventions in place on a care plan. When asked whether Resident #34 was care planned for the indwelling catheter, the RN stated that he was not. The DON also stated that residents with indwelling urinary catheters should have focus and interventions in place on a care plan. The facility policy titled Care Plan stated that the interdisciplinary care plan team will develop the care plan in coordination with the attending physician's plan of medical care and that the care plan is individualized to address the resident's medical, nutritional, psychological, physical, functional, social, educational, and spiritual needs and the severity of the resident's condition.
Improper Securing of Foley Catheter Drainage Bag
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an indwelling urinary catheter drainage bag was secured in a manner to prevent contamination for one resident reviewed for a urinary catheter. During the initial tour of the unit, the resident was observed in bed with a Foley catheter drainage bag in contact with the floor, although the privacy bag was intact, and the drainage bag was not secured to the bed frame. The resident’s admission record showed diagnoses including retention of urine and heart failure, and the admission MDS indicated the resident had an indwelling catheter. During interviews, the RNM stated that indwelling urinary catheter bags should be hanging on the side of the bed frame, not touching the floor, and in a privacy bag to prevent contamination, and the DON stated that the bag should never be on the floor. The facility policy titled Foley Catheter Care and Catheter Maintenance Guidelines stated that the collecting bag should be secured below the level of the bladder at all times and not resting on the floor.
