Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Beacon Rehabilitation And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Food Storage and Temperature Control Deficiencies: The facility failed to keep refrigerated foods properly labeled, dated, and covered, and staff did not monitor cold food temperatures as required. During kitchen observations, multiple open refrigerated items were found undated, a pan of grape jelly was unlabeled and undated with peanut butter on the plastic wrap cover, and staff stated they did not check temperatures of cold foods. A sandwich on the tray line was measured at 50.5 degrees Fahrenheit, above the stated safe range.
Resident dignity was not maintained when a CNA pulled a cognitively intact resident backwards about 100 feet through a hallway on a shower bed while other residents and staff were present. The resident, who had seizure disorder, fractures, and HTN, said they did not understand why they were being pulled backwards and wanted to be fully covered because it was cold; the CNA said they did it for better visibility and control, and the DON stated this was a dignity issue.
Inadequate wound care and incorrect air mattress settings were identified for two residents with pressure ulcers. An LPN did not cleanse the entire wound bed, including undermining, or pack ordered Dakin's gauze into the undermining of a Stage 4 sacral wound, and both residents had air mattress pump settings that did not match their weights. Staff were unfamiliar with the mattress functions and settings, and one mattress had a low-pressure alarm sounding for about a day.
A resident with multiple health conditions, including diabetes and congestive heart failure, reported being kicked in the scrotal area by a CNA, causing pain and distress. Another CNA corroborated the incident, but a subsequent head-to-toe assessment showed no visible injuries. The facility's abuse prohibition policy lacked specific reporting procedures. Interviews with involved parties provided varying accounts of the incident, with the accused CNA denying the abuse and claiming to have kicked the mattress instead. The facility initiated an investigation and involved law enforcement.
A resident reported being kicked by a CNA, but the facility failed to notify the Department of Health and local law enforcement within the required timeframe. The resident had a history of diabetes, congestive heart failure, major depressive disorder, and blindness in one eye. Despite no visible injuries, the facility's delayed reporting violated regulatory requirements.
A resident with multiple health issues reported being kicked by a CNA, but the accused CNA was allowed to complete their shift instead of being immediately suspended or reassigned, contrary to the facility's abuse prevention policy.
Food Storage and Temperature Control Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that food was stored, prepared, distributed, and served in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. During a kitchen observation with the Food Service Director present, multiple refrigerated items in the walk-in dairy refrigerator were found open and undated, including American cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, Italian salad dressing, and cranberry juice. A low-boy refrigerator also contained an unlabeled and undated pan of grape jelly that was covered with plastic wrap, and the plastic wrap had spots of peanut butter on it. Dietary Aide #1 stated they forgot to put a date on the grape jelly when it was stored, and the Food Service Director stated the peanut butter on the plastic cover was a concern because of potential cross contamination and the possibility of an allergic reaction to peanut butter. During later interviews and observation, [NAME] #1 stated they only took the temperature of hot food items at the start of lunch meal service and did not take temperatures of cold food items. During the tray line observation, a tray of sandwiches was left at the end of the tray line table, and Dietary Aide #2 stated they did not take the temperature of the sandwiches because they had just been taken out of the refrigerator. Dietary Aide #3 then measured an American cheese sandwich at 50.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and stated cold food should be at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The Food Service Director stated that food out of the proper temperature range is a hazard and increases the possibility of foodborne illness.
Resident Transported Backwards on Shower Bed in Hallway
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure a resident was treated with dignity and respect during transport to the shower room. Resident #70, who had diagnoses including seizure disorder, fractures of the right clavicle and right tibia, and hypertension, had a Quarterly MDS assessment showing a BIMS score of 13, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. During observation, a CNA was seen pulling the resident backwards through the hallway for approximately 100 feet while the resident was lying completely flat on a shower bed, with a gown covering the upper body and a sheet covering the legs. Other staff and residents were present in the hallway during the transfer. The CNA stated they pulled the resident backwards because they could see better and felt they could control the shower bed that way, and also stated there may have been something wrong with the shower bed and it felt unstable. The resident stated they wondered why they were being pulled backwards and would have preferred to be fully covered with a sheet during the transfer because it was cold in the hallway. The RN supervisor stated that if the CNA thought there was a problem with the shower bed, it should not have been used, and the DON stated that pulling a resident backwards is a dignity issue and residents should be facing forward and covered during hallway transport.
Inadequate wound care and incorrect air mattress settings
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that residents with pressure ulcers received the necessary treatment and services to promote healing, prevent infection, and prevent new ulcers from developing. The deficiency involved two residents reviewed for pressure ulcers, including one resident with severe cognitive impairment, diabetes, a cerebrovascular accident, a Stage 3 pressure ulcer, and a Stage 4 sacral pressure injury with exposed muscle, undermining, and purulent drainage, and another resident with diabetes, paraplegia, and two Stage 3 heel pressure ulcers. For the resident with the Stage 4 sacral wound, a wound consult documented undermining from 3:00 to 5:00 with a maximum distance of 4 cm, purulent drainage, and slough in the wound bed. During wound care observation, the LPN cleansed only the center of the wound and did not cleanse the entire wound bed, including the undermining area. The LPN also did not pack the Dakin's moistened gauze into the undermining area as ordered by the physician. The RN wound care nurse stated the entire wound surface, including undermining, should be cleansed and the moistened gauze should be packed into the undermining area. Both residents also had air mattress settings that were not consistent with their weights. One resident weighed 123 pounds, but the air mattress was set at 220 pounds and was later adjusted after the discrepancy was identified; staff also reported a low-pressure alarm had been sounding for about a day. The other resident weighed 305 pounds, but the air mattress was also set at 220 pounds, and staff stated they were unsure how to set the mattress correctly. The record showed no physician's order for the air mattress or monitoring for either resident at the time of the observations, and staff interviews showed confusion about who was responsible for checking and adjusting the mattress settings.
Incident of Physical Abuse by CNA Reported and Investigated
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident (Resident #1) from physical abuse by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA #2). Resident #1 reported being kicked in the scrotal area by CNA #2, causing them pain and distress. Another CNA (CNA #1) corroborated the incident, stating they witnessed CNA #2 kicking Resident #1 in the private area. Despite the report of abuse, a head-to-toe assessment conducted immediately after the incident showed no visible injuries on Resident #1. Resident #1 had a history of diabetes, congestive heart failure, major depressive disorder, and blindness in their right eye, with a Brief Interview of Mental Status indicating moderately impaired cognition. The facility's Policy and Procedure on Abuse Prohibition outlined the requirement to protect residents from abuse, neglect, and mistreatment in accordance with State and Federal Regulations. However, the policy did not specify the appropriate reporting procedures in case of abuse or suspicion of abuse. Resident #1's care plan identified them as being at potential risk for abuse, with interventions aimed at providing support and ensuring a safe environment. Despite the facility's policies and care plan, the incident of abuse still occurred, leading to harm to Resident #1. Multiple interviews conducted with Resident #1, CNA #2, CNA #1, Nursing Supervisor #1, the Administrator, Director of Nursing, and Medical Director provided varying accounts of the incident. Resident #1 reported feeling the kick but not seeing it due to their visual impairment. CNA #2 denied kicking Resident #1, stating they kicked the mattress in response to Resident #1 throwing items at them. Nursing Supervisor #1 conducted an assessment immediately after the incident, finding no physical evidence of injury on Resident #1. The facility took steps to investigate the abuse allegation, including involving law enforcement and updating Resident #1's care plan with additional interventions.
Failure to Timely Report Alleged Abuse Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an alleged abuse incident involving a resident and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) within the required timeframe. Specifically, the incident occurred when a resident reported that CNA #2 kicked them in the scrotal area during an argument. This report was made to Nursing Supervisor #1, who did not notify the New York State Department of Health or local law enforcement within the mandated 2-hour window. The Department of Health was notified the following day at 5:00 pm, and local law enforcement was notified at 4:00 pm, both well beyond the required reporting period. The resident involved had a history of diabetes, congestive heart failure, major depressive disorder, and blindness in one eye. The resident's cognitive status was moderately impaired, as indicated by a Brief Interview of Mental Status score of 10. Despite the resident's report of being kicked, initial assessments by Nursing Supervisor #1 and subsequent assessments revealed no visible injuries or complaints of pain. However, the facility's failure to report the incident promptly as required by federal and state regulations constituted a significant deficiency. Interviews with various staff members, including Nursing Supervisor #1, Nursing Supervisor #2, the Administrator, and the Director of Nursing, revealed a lack of immediate action and communication regarding the incident. Nursing Supervisor #1 admitted to being overwhelmed and forgetting to report the incident, while Nursing Supervisor #2 did not take further action based on the assumption that Nursing Supervisor #1 would handle it the next day. This lapse in protocol and communication led to the delayed reporting of the abuse allegation, violating regulatory requirements and the facility's own policies on abuse prevention and reporting.
Failure to Protect Resident During Abuse Investigation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect residents from potential abuse while an investigation was in progress. Specifically, a resident and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) reported to a Nursing Supervisor that another CNA kicked the resident in their scrotal area. Despite this report, the accused CNA was allowed to complete their resident care assignment until the end of their shift, rather than being immediately suspended or reassigned as per the facility's Abuse Prevention Policy and Procedure. The incident involved a resident with diagnoses including Diabetes, Congestive Heart Failure, and Major Depressive Disorder, who also had blindness in their right eye and moderately impaired cognition. The resident reported feeling a kick in their groin, which caused them to scream out in pain. Another CNA who was present during the incident corroborated the resident's account, stating that they witnessed the accused CNA lift their foot and kick the resident in the private area. The Nursing Supervisor conducted an immediate assessment and found no visible signs of injury. However, the accused CNA was only instructed to leave the resident's unit and return to their own unit, rather than being removed from resident care entirely. This decision was made without consulting higher authorities, and the accused CNA continued to work until the end of their shift. The Director of Nursing and Assistant Director of Nursing were only informed of the incident the following day, at which point the accused CNA was removed from the schedule.
