Health deficiencies cited at Elderwood At Cheektowaga during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure residents were properly educated about the COVID-19 vaccine and that their consent or declination was accurately documented. One cognitively intact resident with multiple chronic conditions was recorded as having declined the COVID-19 vaccine without a signed or verbally documented declination and without any documented education on risks and benefits; in interview, this resident stated they wanted the vaccine and had never received education or signed a declination. Review of vaccination forms for 34 other residents who were marked as having declined the COVID-19 vaccine showed no signed declinations and no documentation that Vaccine Information Sheets or other education were provided. Staff and leadership interviews confirmed that education on risks/benefits and completion of consent/declination sections with signatures or verbal documentation were expected but were not carried out or recorded as required.
Two residents with dementia and documented cognitive impairment received COVID-19 and influenza vaccines based on verbal consents obtained directly from them by the Assistant DON/Infection Preventionist, despite activated Health Care Proxies and prior documentation that they lacked medical decision-making capacity. Facility policies and state and federal resident rights documents required informed consent and recognized the authority of health care agents when residents lack capacity. In both cases, the health care agents were not contacted for consent, were unaware the vaccines had been administered, and later stated they would have expected to be involved in these decisions, demonstrating a failure to honor residents’ rights to refuse treatment and to obtain consent from the appropriate representatives.
Three residents with cognitive and chronic medical conditions received influenza and/or COVID-19 vaccines from an outside pharmacist during a vaccine clinic, but the facility’s MAR and immunization records inaccurately documented that facility nurses administered these vaccines or left the administrator information incomplete. Facility policy required that immunizations be documented by the nurse who administered them and that vaccines given by non-facility staff be entered as outside-agency or historical immunizations in the EMR, rather than as standard MAR entries. An LPN reported signing the MAR for vaccines they did not administer, based on verification forms and resident reports, while another LPN stated they only entered orders and did not give any vaccines, despite being listed as the administering nurse. Leadership and nursing staff acknowledged that nurses should not document medications they did not administer or witness, yet the records continued to reflect inaccurate or incomplete documentation of who actually gave the vaccines.
A resident with an indwelling Foley catheter and a history of UTIs was repeatedly observed with the drainage bag positioned above bladder level and not wearing a leg bag as care planned. There were no provider orders for the catheter or its care, and the care plan contained outdated and inaccurate information about the resident's urinary devices. Staff interviews revealed lapses in updating care plans, obtaining orders, and following proper catheter care procedures.
A certified nurse aide was found to have verbally abused a resident by yelling and making inappropriate comments during care, as witnessed by another resident and confirmed by staff interviews. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had multiple medical conditions, reported feeling hurt and disappointed by the aide's actions. The incident was corroborated by witness statements and staff, who recognized the behavior as verbal and mental abuse.
A facility failed to ensure a Consultant Pharmacist reported irregularities in a resident's drug regimen review, leading to the prolonged use of an antibiotic without an end date. The resident, with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, was prescribed Doxycycline Monohydrate since 2020. The pharmacist did not identify or report the excessive duration, and the DON was unaware of the antibiotic use. The deficiency was noted during a standard survey, indicating a lapse in medication management and antibiotic stewardship.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including MRSA, was receiving Doxycycline Monohydrate for lifelong suppression without proper monitoring by the facility's Infection Preventionist or Antibiotic Stewardship Program. The facility's policy required tracking and reporting of antibiotic usage, but this was not done. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness and monitoring due to the antibiotic not appearing on the facility's dashboard, and there was no process to review the pharmacy's report.
A facility failed to review and renew a resident's Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) as required, leading to a discrepancy between the resident's current wishes and documented orders. Despite the resident's moderate cognitive impairment and history of serious medical conditions, their MOLST form had not been updated since a specified date. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of consistent review, highlighting the importance of aligning medical orders with residents' current wishes.
The facility failed to properly label and manage medications in the Unit 4 storage room. Observations revealed undated and outdated Tubersol vials and expired over-the-counter medications. Staff interviews highlighted lapses in adherence to labeling and expiration protocols, with responsibilities shared among LPNs, the Pharmacy Technician, and the Shipping/Receiving Manager. The DON and Administrator emphasized the need for proper labeling and removal of expired medications.
A facility failed to notify a resident and their family of a room change and a positive COVID-19 test. The resident's room was changed without notification, and the family was unaware of the COVID-19 diagnosis until visiting. Staff interviews confirmed the lack of documentation and communication.
A resident with cognitive impairments and dependent on staff for toileting was left exposed during incontinent care by a CNA, compromising their privacy and dignity. Despite the facility's policies on respecting residents' rights, the CNA left the resident uncovered and visible to the hallway, and staff interviews confirmed the lapse in maintaining privacy.
A resident with dementia and hemiparesis experienced a delay in receiving a lumbar x-ray after a fall, due to communication and documentation failures. Although x-rays for the elbow and sacral regions were completed, the lumbar x-ray was delayed because the order was not entered into the electronic medical record, and the Unit Clerk was not informed through the usual process. Staff interviews highlighted inconsistencies in the ordering and documentation process, leading to the deficiency.
Failure to Provide and Document COVID-19 Vaccine Education, Consent, and Declination
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure that when COVID-19 vaccine was available, each resident was properly offered the vaccine, educated on its risks and benefits, and had their decision and education accurately documented in the medical record, as required by facility policy and regulation. The facility’s COVID-19 Vaccine Policy stated that residents who decline vaccination would provide a written affirmation indicating they were offered and declined the vaccine, that vaccination fact sheets would be made available prior to administration, and that informed consent (written or verbal) would be obtained from all individuals being vaccinated. However, the policy did not specify the minimum documentation requirements for the medical record, and in practice, the facility did not consistently obtain or record signed declinations or evidence of education. For one resident reviewed in detail, Resident #3, who had diagnoses including psoriatic arthritis, COPD, and depression and was documented as cognitively intact, the Vaccination Review: Consent/Declination SNF Resident Form showed verbal consent for influenza and a documented decision to decline the COVID-19 vaccine. The declination statement on the form was not signed, and there was no documentation of verbal declination. There was also no evidence in the record that this resident received education regarding the risks and benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine. In interview, Resident #3 stated they wanted to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, reported never receiving written or verbal education about it, and stated they had not signed a declination. An Immunization Audit Report later documented that this resident refused the COVID-19 vaccine on a specific date and that no education was provided. Further review of 34 additional resident Vaccination Review: Consent/Declination forms for residents indicated to have declined the COVID-19 vaccine revealed there were no signed declinations and no documentation that Vaccine Information Sheets or other education on risks, benefits, and potential side effects had been provided to the residents or their representatives. Staff interviews confirmed that when residents declined vaccinations, the declination section of the form should have been completed with a signature or verbal declination notation and that education on risks and benefits should have been provided and documented. The Assistant DON/Infection Preventionist acknowledged responsibility for providing vaccination education but had no evidence that such education was completed, and a former unit manager stated they did not provide vaccination education or obtain consents/declinations for a prior influenza/COVID-19 clinic. Leadership interviews further confirmed expectations that both consent and declination statements be signed when applicable and that risks versus benefits be reviewed prior to obtaining decisions, which did not occur as required in these cases.
Failure to Obtain Proper Consent for COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccinations
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to honor residents’ rights to refuse treatment and to obtain proper consent for immunizations, specifically COVID-19 and influenza vaccines, for two residents reviewed for immunizations. Facility policies for COVID-19 and influenza vaccination required that residents and/or resident representatives receive vaccine information sheets, be educated on risks and benefits, and that informed consent (written or verbal) be obtained prior to administration, with vaccination remaining voluntary. New York State regulations and federal resident rights documents cited in the report state that residents have the right to refuse medication and treatment after being fully informed, and that legal guardians or health care proxies have the right to make important decisions on the resident’s behalf when the resident lacks capacity. Resident #1 had diagnoses including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and a prior stroke, with the MDS documenting moderate cognitive impairment. The resident’s care plan showed multiple advance directives, including a MOLST, Health Care Proxy, and Power of Attorney, with a goal that the resident’s wishes be honored. A Determination of Incapacity for Medical Decision-Making documented that the resident lacked capacity and that the Health Care Proxy/Agent had been informed of this determination by two medical providers. Despite this, a Vaccination Review: Consent/Declination form recorded that the Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist obtained verbal consent directly from the resident for influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, and the vaccines were administered. The Immunization Audit Report also showed prior refusals of other immunizations by the family/resident, and the order summary confirmed active Health Care Proxy status and vaccine orders. The resident’s Agent/Surrogate later stated they were responsible for medical decisions, were not asked for consent, were only notified after the vaccines were given, and would have declined them. The previous Unit Manager stated that Resident #1 lacked capacity, had documentation of incapacity, and that the spouse should have been called; they further stated that the Assistant DON/Infection Preventionist went room to room obtaining verbal consents from residents without verifying capacity, resulting in vaccinations against the Health Care Proxy’s wishes. Resident #2 had diagnoses including dementia, encephalopathy, and COPD, with the MDS documenting severe cognitive impairment. The care plan described the resident as moderately impaired in decision making and referenced a cognitive level tool indicating Level 4 (moderately impaired). There was no initial documentation of capacity determination or advance directives in the care plan, but later orders showed that a Health Care Proxy was activated with an effective date prior to the vaccination clinic. The Vaccination Review: Consent/Declination form documented that the Assistant DON/Infection Preventionist obtained verbal consent from the resident for influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, and the vaccines were administered. The Immunization Audit Report and order summary confirmed the vaccines were given and that a Health Care Proxy order was in place. The Social Worker stated that a BIMS score under 12 indicated lack of capacity, that Resident #2 did not have the ability to make decisions, and that the Health Care Agent made decisions and should have been notified for vaccinations. The Assistant DON/Infection Preventionist stated they obtained consents verbally from residents and by phone from proxies, that it was not legal to vaccinate without proper consent, and acknowledged they did not document family consent for Resident #2 and should have done so. Resident #2’s Health Care Agent reported that vaccination consent was not discussed with them, they were unaware the vaccines were given, and that the resident would not have understood what they were consenting to. The DON, Administrator, and Medical Director all stated that capacity should be assessed (e.g., via BIMS and capacity forms), that if a resident lacks capacity the responsible party or Health Care Proxy must make decisions, and that residents who lack capacity should not receive vaccinations without proxy consent. These facts collectively demonstrate that the facility failed to ensure residents’ rights to refuse treatment and to obtain appropriate consent from authorized representatives before administering vaccines to two cognitively impaired residents.
Inaccurate Documentation of Third-Party Vaccine Administration on MAR
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to maintain accurate and complete medical record documentation regarding vaccine administration for three residents. Facility policies required that residents receive immunizations from a licensed facility nurse per physician orders, that administration be documented on the Medication Administration Record (MAR), and that vaccines given by non-facility staff be entered as historical documentation in the electronic medical record’s immunization module. Policies also required that medications never be out of the sight of the nurse administering them and that nurses document administration on the MAR immediately after giving the medication, observing the five rights of medication administration. For one resident with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and a history of stroke, the MAR for a specified month documented that an LPN administered both a COVID-19 vaccine and an influenza vaccine on a particular date. The Immunization Audit Report showed both vaccines as completed on that date, with incomplete documentation of the COVID-19 vaccine location and administrator, and the influenza vaccine recorded as given in the left deltoid by the Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist. For a second resident with dementia, encephalopathy, and COPD, the MAR documented that another LPN administered both COVID-19 and influenza vaccines on the same date, and the Immunization Audit Report showed both as completed, but with incomplete information on the injection site and who administered them. For a third resident with psoriatic arthritis, COPD, and depression, the MAR documented that the same LPN administered an influenza vaccine on that date, and the Immunization Audit Report showed the influenza vaccine as completed in the left deltoid with the administrator field incomplete; this resident was documented as having refused the COVID-19 vaccine. Interviews established that an outside clinic/pharmacist, not facility nurses, actually administered the influenza and COVID-19 vaccines during a Flu/COVID clinic. The Assistant Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist stated that the pharmacist administered the vaccines and that the correct order type in the electronic medical record should have been “Outside agency Medication/Vaccine Administration,” not a standard MAR medication order. One LPN reported that the outside agency did not have MAR access and that, after verifying which vaccines residents received, they signed the MAR, even though they generally do not sign for medications they did not administer and did not witness one resident’s vaccinations. Another LPN stated they did not administer any vaccines that day and were only entering orders, despite being listed on the MAR as the administering nurse. Other nursing staff and leadership stated that nurses should not document administration of medications they did not give or did not witness, and the Administrator confirmed that nurses should not sign for medications they did not prepare or administer. Despite this, the MAR and immunization records reflected facility nurses as the administering staff or left the administrator field incomplete, while the vaccines were actually given by a third party, resulting in inaccurate medical record documentation.
Deficient Catheter Care and Documentation
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the care and management of an indwelling Foley catheter for one resident. The resident, who had a history of severe intellectual disabilities, hydronephrosis, urinary retention, and recurrent urinary tract infections, was observed multiple times with the urinary drainage bag positioned above the level of the bladder while seated in a wheelchair. The bag was attached to the wheelchair armrest, contrary to facility policy and standard practice, which require the drainage bag to be kept below bladder level to prevent backflow of urine. Additionally, the resident was not wearing a urinary collection leg bag as specified in the care plan when out of bed. Record review revealed that there were no provider orders in place for the indwelling Foley catheter, including orders for its care or for scheduled catheter changes, despite hospital discharge instructions specifying monthly changes. The resident's comprehensive care plan and Kardex contained inaccuracies, such as references to a suprapubic catheter and nephrostomy tube that the resident did not have. The care plan was not updated to reflect the resident's current urinary status or device needs, and staff interviews confirmed a lack of awareness and follow-through regarding the required catheter care and documentation. Staff interviews further indicated that responsibilities for updating care plans, obtaining provider orders, and ensuring accurate documentation were not consistently fulfilled. Nursing staff and aides were unclear about the correct use of leg bags and the proper placement of drainage bags, and there was a lack of communication regarding changes in the resident's condition and device requirements. The facility's failure to ensure appropriate catheter care, accurate care planning, and proper provider orders led to the identified deficiency.
Verbal Abuse of Resident by Certified Nurse Aide
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a certified nurse aide verbally abused a resident during the early morning hours. The aide was witnessed by another resident yelling at the resident, stating that the world did not revolve around them and that they were not special, while also expressing frustration about having other residents to care for. The resident who was the subject of the yelling had diagnoses including congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, and was documented as cognitively intact, alert, and oriented. The incident was corroborated by the resident's roommate, who observed the aide's loud and boisterous tone and described the aide as verbally nasty and overcorrecting during care. Multiple interviews with other residents and staff confirmed concerns about the aide's behavior. One resident expressed fear of the aide and described the aide as wanting residents to adapt to their routine. Another resident described the aide's attitude as unpleasant. Staff interviews, including those with an LPN, RN Unit Manager, social worker, and the Director of Nursing, all acknowledged that yelling at residents constituted verbal and mental abuse and was inappropriate. The resident affected by the incident reported feeling disappointed and hurt by the aide's actions. The facility's policies and state regulations require protection of residents from all forms of abuse, including verbal and mental abuse. The investigation confirmed that the aide's conduct was intentional, verbally abusive, and in violation of resident rights. The incident was documented and verified through resident statements, witness accounts, and staff interviews, establishing that the resident was not protected from verbal abuse as required.
Failure to Report Drug Regimen Irregularities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Consultant Pharmacist reported irregularities in the drug regimen review for a resident who was prescribed and administered an antibiotic for an excessive duration. The Consultant Pharmacist did not identify or report the prolonged use of Doxycycline Monohydrate, which had been prescribed since November 2020 without an end date. The facility's policy required the pharmacist to assess medication regimens monthly for appropriateness and to report any irregularities, including excessive duration and inadequate indications for use. However, there was no evidence of recommendations made to the provider regarding the continued use of the antibiotic from November 2022 through May 2024. The resident involved had diagnoses including osteomyelitis, pressure ulcers, and schizophrenia, and was documented to have severe cognitive impairment. The comprehensive care plan did not reflect the long-term use of antibiotics, and the Director of Nursing was unaware of the resident's antibiotic use. Interviews with the Pharmacy Consultant and the Chief Nursing Officer revealed a lack of communication and failure to identify and report the irregularities, which was expected as part of the pharmacist's role. The deficiency was identified during a standard survey, highlighting a failure in the facility's medication management and antibiotic stewardship program.
Failure to Monitor Antibiotic Use in Resident with MRSA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that its infection control program included protocols and a system to monitor antibiotic use, as evidenced by the case of a resident who had been receiving Doxycycline Monohydrate for lifelong suppression of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) since 11/22/20. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses including osteomyelitis and pressure ulcers, was not monitored or tracked by the Infection Preventionist or the Antibiotic Stewardship Program. The facility's policy required that antibiotic usage be tracked and reported to the Infection Prevention and Control Committee, but this was not done for the resident in question. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness and monitoring of the resident's antibiotic use. The Pharmacy Consultant stated that an Antimicrobial Days of Therapy Report was generated monthly and sent to the Administrator, who was expected to share it with relevant staff. However, the Registered Nurse/Infection Preventionist and the Director of Nursing were unaware of the resident's prophylactic antibiotic use, as it did not appear on the facility's monitoring dashboard. The Chief Nursing Officer acknowledged that there was no process in place to review the pharmacy's report, which contributed to the oversight in monitoring the resident's antibiotic use.
Failure to Review and Renew Advanced Directives
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the system for managing advanced directives was implemented in accordance with the residents' wishes, specifically for one resident. The Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) form for this resident had not been reviewed or renewed since a specified date, despite the facility's policy requiring such reviews at least every 60 days or upon changes in orders. This oversight was identified during a standard survey, which included observations, interviews, and record reviews. The resident in question had a history of cognitive communication deficit, hemiplegia, hemiparesis following a stroke, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Despite having moderate cognitive impairment, the resident was understood to have expressed a desire for their advance directives to be honored throughout their stay. However, during an interview, the resident expressed a wish to receive CPR, indicating a potential discrepancy between their current wishes and the documented MOLST orders, which included a DNR order and other limitations on medical interventions. Interviews with facility staff, including a Physician Assistant, Social Worker, Registered Nurse Unit Manager, and the Director of Nursing, revealed a lack of consistent review and renewal of the MOLST forms. The staff acknowledged the importance of regularly reviewing these orders to ensure they align with the residents' current wishes and to prevent any medical interventions that might contradict those wishes. The deficiency was further highlighted by the absence of evidence in the social services progress notes that the resident's advanced directives had been reviewed during a specified period.
Medication Labeling and Expiration Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals were labeled according to professional principles, specifically in the Unit 4 medication storage room. During an observation, it was found that the refrigerator contained four opened multi-dose vials of Tubersol solution, three of which were undated, and one was outdated. Additionally, the medication storage room cabinet contained expired over-the-counter medications, including liquid Acetaminophen, Sorbitol Solution, and Multi-Vite Liquid. The facility's policy required that only authorized personnel access the medication rooms, and the manufacturer's instructions for Tubersol solution specified that opened vials should be discarded after 30 days. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of adherence to labeling and expiration protocols. A Licensed Practical Nurse admitted to not labeling a new bottle of Tubersol when opened. The Shipping/Receiving Manager stated they were responsible for stocking over-the-counter medications but not refrigerator medications, which were the responsibility of the Pharmacy Technician. The Pharmacy Consultant emphasized the importance of dating multi-dose vials and discarding them after 28 days. The Pharmacy Technician and the Unit Manager both acknowledged the responsibility of nurses to check for expired or unlabeled medications. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator reiterated the expectation that all medication rooms and carts should be free of expired medications and that open vials should be labeled and dated.
Failure to Notify Resident and Family of Room Change and COVID-19 Diagnosis
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident and their responsible party of significant changes, including a room change and a positive COVID-19 test result. Specifically, the resident's room was changed on 11/30/23 without notifying the resident or their family member, as required by the facility's policy. Interviews with the social worker and the Director of Social Work confirmed that there was no documentation of notification, and the family member stated they were not informed of the room change. Additionally, the resident tested positive for COVID-19 on 12/17/23, but there was no evidence that the responsible party was notified. The family member discovered the resident's condition upon visiting the facility and expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of communication. Interviews with nursing staff and the Director of Nursing revealed that the unit manager should have notified the family immediately about the change in condition, but there was no documentation of such notification in the resident's records.
Failure to Ensure Resident Privacy During Personal Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the personal privacy of a resident during personal care, as observed during a complaint investigation. The incident involved a resident with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and osteoarthritis, who was dependent on staff for toileting hygiene. During an observation, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) initiated incontinent care for the resident but left the resident exposed and uncovered, visible to the hallway, when exiting the room. The resident expressed discomfort about being left exposed, and the CNA returned with another CNA to complete the care but again left the resident uncovered with the door open. Interviews with staff, including a Licensed Practical Nurse and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that all nursing staff were responsible for ensuring personal privacy during care to maintain residents' dignity. The CNAs involved acknowledged the failure to cover the resident and close the door, which compromised the resident's dignity and privacy. The facility's policies emphasized the importance of respecting residents' rights to privacy and dignity, which were not adhered to in this instance.
Delay in Radiology Services for Resident After Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide timely radiology services for a resident who required a lumbar x-ray following an unwitnessed fall. The resident, who had a history of dementia, hemiparesis, and repeated falls, was found on the floor complaining of lower back and elbow pain. Although x-rays for the elbow and sacral regions were ordered and completed, the lumbar x-ray was not performed until several days later, resulting in a delay in treatment. The deficiency was primarily due to a breakdown in communication and documentation processes. Registered Nurse #1 did not enter the x-ray orders into the electronic medical record, and the Unit Clerk was not informed of the new orders through the usual method of writing them in a designated book. This miscommunication led to the omission of the lumbar x-ray from the initial radiology request, despite the Nurse Practitioner having ordered it. Interviews with staff, including the Unit Clerk, Registered Nurse #1, the Nurse Practitioner, and the Director of Nursing, revealed inconsistencies in the process of ordering and documenting x-rays. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the communication breakdown, and the Medical Doctor confirmed that all x-rays should have been completed as ordered. The failure to obtain the lumbar x-ray promptly was identified as a deficiency in meeting the resident's needs.
