Facility Fails to Maintain Clean and Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for residents in three of the eight units reviewed during the survey. Specifically, Unit 2 A was found to have a strong smell of urine, unclean bedroom floors, and bathrooms with brown splatter on the toilets. Additionally, over bed tables were covered with food debris. Unit 3 A's dining room floor was sticky and unclean, with debris on the base of food carts and brown material on a raised toilet seat in a resident room. Unit 4 A had a continuously running sink in a resident room, unclean floors in multiple resident rooms, and food splatter on the floors and walls. The facility's policy on resident room cleaning, revised in March 2020, required daily cleaning to ensure cleanliness and sanitation, prevent infection, and maintain the facility's appearance. However, observations revealed that the policy was not consistently followed, as evidenced by the presence of food debris, dried splatter, and brown stains in various rooms. Interviews with staff, including housekeepers and nursing staff, indicated that there was a lack of clarity and consistency in cleaning responsibilities, particularly regarding the handling of bodily fluids and deep cleaning procedures. Interviews with residents and their family members further highlighted the facility's failure to provide a homelike environment. A family member reported that the facility was consistently unclean during their visits, with stool on the toilet and bathroom floor. The resident expressed dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of their room, stating it was never cleaned and did not feel homelike. Staff interviews confirmed that the presence of sticky floors, debris, and unclean surfaces was not acceptable and did not align with the facility's standards for a homelike environment.
Failure to Provide Scheduled Showers for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents who were unable to carry out activities of daily living received the necessary services to maintain good personal hygiene, specifically showering, for two residents. Resident #46, who had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and muscle weakness, required substantial assistance with showering. Despite being cognitively intact and expressing a preference for showers, the resident did not receive scheduled showers for three consecutive weeks. The certified nurse aide responsible for Resident #46's care did not provide the showers due to staffing issues and did not report the missed showers to the nursing staff, resulting in the resident going without a shower for an extended period. Resident #99, diagnosed with cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy, also required substantial assistance with showering. The resident expressed a preference for showers twice a week but was scheduled for only one shower per week. On a scheduled shower day, the resident did not receive a shower due to the unavailability of a mechanical lift pad and the certified nurse aide's inability to return to assist them. The failure to provide the shower was not communicated to the nursing staff, and the resident went without a shower for two weeks. Interviews with facility staff, including certified nurse aides, licensed practical nurses, and the Director of Nursing, revealed a lack of communication and adherence to the shower schedule. The staff acknowledged the importance of providing showers for resident dignity and hygiene but failed to ensure that the residents received their scheduled showers. The facility's policies on activities of daily living and bathing were not followed, leading to the deficiency in care for these residents.
Deficiencies in Medication Administration and Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the comprehensive person-centered care plan, and the residents' choices. For Resident #236, Licensed Practical Nurses administered medications outside of acceptable time parameters, failed to administer and document tube feedings, and signed off on treatments and medications that were not completed. Observations revealed that the resident's tube feeding was not connected, and medications were documented as given without the nurse entering the resident's room. The nurse practitioner was not notified of missed or late medications and treatments, which were critical for the resident's nutrition and health. Resident #99, who had diagnoses including atopic and seborrheic dermatitis, did not receive their prescribed medicated shampoo as ordered. The shampoo was left at the resident's bedside, and certified nurse aides administered it instead of licensed staff. The resident reported not always receiving their weekly shower, which was necessary for the treatment of their scalp condition. The facility's staff failed to communicate effectively, and the nurse practitioner was not informed of missed doses of the medicated shampoo, which could exacerbate the resident's condition. Interviews with staff, including Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurse Unit Manager, and the Director of Nursing, highlighted a lack of adherence to medication administration policies and inadequate communication regarding missed treatments. The facility's policies required that medications be administered by licensed nurses and documented accurately, with providers notified of any deviations. However, these protocols were not followed, leading to deficiencies in the care provided to the residents.
