Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Chapin Home For The Aging during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a left knee shrinker order was not provided the device, as observed during a survey. The resident, with a below left knee amputation and total dependence on staff, reported not receiving the shrinker. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness and application of the device, despite it being part of the care plan. The facility's staff, including a CNA, LPN, and nursing directors, failed to ensure the device was applied, highlighting a communication breakdown.
Two residents with Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive impairments eloped from the facility due to inadequate supervision and security measures. Despite being identified as at risk for elopement, the residents were able to leave the premises using a dietary elevator. Staff noticed their absence during dinner, but the facility's failure to secure the elevator and monitor the residents effectively led to the incident.
The facility did not post daily nurse staffing information in a prominent area accessible to residents and visitors. Observations during a survey revealed the postings were not visible, and interviews with staff indicated a lack of awareness about the requirement for visibility. The information was placed in front of the supervisor's door, which was not easily accessible.
Failure to Provide Ordered Device for Resident with Limited Mobility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with limited range of motion and mobility received the necessary care and equipment to maintain or improve their function. Specifically, a resident with a physician's order to wear a left knee shrinker at all times was observed without the device. This deficiency was identified during a recertification survey, where it was noted that the resident, who has a below left knee amputation, was not provided with the shrinker as ordered. The resident reported that staff were not applying any device to their left stump, and staff interviews confirmed a lack of awareness and application of the shrinker. The resident, who has diagnoses including hypertension, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was admitted with moderate cognitive impairment and total dependence on staff for most activities of daily living. The comprehensive care plan indicated the need for active and passive range of motion exercises and the continuous use of a left knee shrinker. However, there was no documentation of the resident refusing the device, and staff interviews revealed a lack of knowledge about the device's existence and application. Interviews with various staff members, including a CNA, LPN, Assistant Director of Nursing, and Director of Physical Therapy, highlighted a breakdown in communication and responsibility. The CNA and LPN were unaware of the shrinker order, while the Assistant Director of Nursing and Director of Physical Therapy acknowledged the order but did not ensure its implementation. The Nurse Educator expressed surprise at the staff's lack of compliance despite previous education efforts, and the Director of Nursing noted discrepancies in documentation regarding the resident's refusal of the device.
Inadequate Supervision Leads to Resident Elopement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate supervision to prevent the elopement of two residents, both diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive impairments. On the day of the incident, the residents left the facility unannounced, using a dietary elevator to exit the building. The facility's policy emphasized the importance of identifying residents at risk of elopement and monitoring their movements, but this was not effectively implemented for the two residents involved. Resident #140 had a history of wandering and was identified as at risk for elopement, yet no elopement alarm was used. The resident's care plan included monitoring behavior and providing diversional activities, but these measures were insufficient to prevent the elopement. Similarly, Resident #139, who also had severe cognitive impairment, was known to wait in front of the elevator, indicating a risk for elopement. Despite this, the resident did not have a wander guard, and the care plan's interventions were not enough to prevent the incident. Interviews with staff revealed that the residents were last seen before dinner, and their absence was noticed when it was time to serve dinner. The staff initiated a search and notified the appropriate personnel, but the residents had already left the premises. The dietary elevator, which was supposed to be operated by keys, somehow opened, allowing the residents to access it. The facility's failure to secure the elevator and adequately supervise the residents contributed to the elopement incident.
Inadequate Posting of Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the daily nurse staffing information was posted in a prominent area that was readily accessible to residents and visitors. During the Recertification Survey conducted from September 3 to September 10, 2024, observations revealed that the postings of daily nurse staffing levels for each shift were not visible, nor was there any signage indicating where the information could be found. The facility's policy, last revised on May 16, 2024, required that daily nursing schedules be posted on the nursing supervisor's door along with a daily nursing data sheet, accessible to residents, visitors, and staff. Interviews with the Staffing Coordinator and the Director of Nursing Services indicated a lack of awareness regarding the requirement for the staffing information to be posted in a visible area. The Staffing Coordinator stated that the staffing roster and data sheet had always been placed in front of the supervisor's door, which was not readily accessible to residents or visitors. The Director of Nursing Services mentioned that the location had been used for many years, but changes during COVID may have impacted the areas where residents and visitors currently pass through.
