Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Bronx Gardens Rehabilitation And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and total dependence on two-person assistance for bed mobility fell from bed and sustained serious injuries when a CNA attempted to turn the resident alone, contrary to the care plan. The CNA did not request help from the other CNA on duty, and the incident resulted in actual harm, including head injuries and hospitalization.
A deficiency was identified when staff food was found stored in a refrigerator designated for resident snacks and nourishment. An unlabeled and undated bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, belonging to a dietary staff member, was discovered during a kitchen observation, in violation of facility policy prohibiting staff food in resident refrigerators.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment reported to a PA that another resident had grabbed their hands and held them by the throat. The PA assessed the resident, found no injuries, and reported the allegation to the RN Manager. An investigation, including interviews and camera review, determined that no contact occurred and the incident did not happen. Despite this, the facility did not report the allegation to the State Agency as required by regulation and policy.
Failure to Provide Required Two-Person Assistance for Bed Mobility Results in Resident Fall and Injury
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident who required two-person assistance for bed mobility fell from their bed while being turned by a single Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The resident had a history of Alzheimer's dementia, bipolar disorder, and diabetes mellitus, and was assessed as severely cognitively impaired and totally dependent on two staff for bed mobility according to their care plan and Minimum Data Set. Despite these documented needs, the CNA performed bed mobility alone, contrary to the resident's plan of care and facility policy, which required two-person assistance for such activities. On the morning of the incident, the CNA was providing incontinence care and attempted to turn the resident without assistance. During this process, the resident slid off the bed, which was positioned above the CNA's waist level, and fell to the floor. The resident sustained multiple injuries, including cuts and bleeding to the chin and forehead, a subdural hematoma, parenchymal hemorrhage, and a scalp hematoma. The resident was subsequently transferred to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Interviews with staff confirmed that the CNA did not request help from the other CNA on duty, despite having done so in the past for this resident. The facility's investigation determined that the CNA failed to follow the established plan of care, which clearly indicated the need for two-person assistance for bed mobility. The incident resulted in actual harm to the resident, as documented by the injuries sustained and the need for hospital transfer.
Staff Food Improperly Stored in Resident Refrigerator
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety, as evidenced by the presence of staff food in a refrigerator designated for resident snacks and nourishment. During an initial kitchen observation, a plastic bag containing an unlabeled and undated quart-sized bowl of spaghetti and meatballs was found in the snack/nourishment refrigerator. The Food Service Director confirmed that this food item belonged to a dietary staff member and acknowledged that staff food should not be stored in resident food refrigerators, as per facility policy. The facility's policy specifically prohibits the storage of staff food in patient food refrigerators to ensure proper storage and infection control practices.
Failure to Report Alleged Abuse to State Agency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an allegation of abuse was reported to the New York State Department of Health as required by regulation and facility policy. A resident with severe cognitive impairment reported to a Physician Assistant that another resident had grabbed their hands and held them by the throat. The Physician Assistant immediately assessed the resident and found no physical injuries, then reported the allegation to the unit Registered Nurse Manager. An investigation was initiated, including interviews with staff and other residents, review of camera footage, and a physical assessment of the resident. The investigation determined that the alleged perpetrator, another resident with severe cognitive impairment, was seen wandering the hallway but did not enter the reporting resident's room or make physical contact, as confirmed by camera footage and the roommate's account. The facility concluded within two hours that the alleged incident did not occur and that abuse was ruled out. Despite this, the facility did not report the allegation to the State Agency as required by both regulation and their own policy, which mandates reporting all allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment, regardless of the outcome of the investigation. Interviews with the DON and Administrator confirmed that the decision not to report was based on their determination that the incident was unsubstantiated. The Administrator also stated that the camera recording was not saved. The facility's failure to report the allegation to the appropriate authorities constitutes a deficiency under 10 NYCRR 415.4 (b).
