Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Elizabeth Seton Children's Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive and physical impairment fell during a mechanical lift transfer when a sling eyelet came off the hook as staff raised the resident. Staff did not complete the required time out to verify that all sling eyelets were secured before lifting, and the resident slid out of the sling and landed on the floor. The resident was sent to the ED, where imaging was negative for fracture.
Improper PPE was used during terminal room cleaning for a resident who had been on contact precautions for a respiratory virus. A housekeeper removed a privacy/cubicle curtain while wearing only gloves and a mask, even though the facility policy and leadership stated that gown, gloves, and mask were required for terminal cleaning and curtain removal. The resident had severe cognitive deficits and was dependent on staff for most ADLs.
A resident, who required two-person assistance for all care activities, was attended to by a single CNA, contrary to the care plan. This led to the resident showing signs of discomfort and swelling in the left thigh, necessitating a hospital transfer to rule out a fracture. The facility's investigation confirmed the CNA's unauthorized action, which was captured on video surveillance.
A resident with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome was subjected to physical abuse by a registered nurse who restrained the resident's arms with closed hands and yelled at them, contrary to the facility's policy. The incident was witnessed by two staff members but was not reported immediately. The facility's policy prohibits physical restraint and requires immediate reporting of suspected abuse.
An LTC facility failed to report an alleged abuse incident involving a resident and a registered nurse to the New York State Department of Health within the required timeframe. The incident, witnessed by a CNA and a speech therapist, involved the nurse holding the resident's forearms and pointing a finger close to their face. The facility's policy mandates immediate reporting, but the report was delayed, and the 5-day investigation results were submitted late.
Mechanical Lift Transfer Failure Resulted in Resident Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate supervision and assistance during a mechanical lift transfer for one resident who had cerebral palsy, seizure disorder, dependence on a respirator, tracheostomy, and gastrostomy. The resident also had severely impaired cognition, was rarely or never understood, and was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. The resident was identified as being at risk for falls and had a moderate fall risk score on assessment. During the transfer from a wheelchair to a shower bed using a mechanical lift, staff attached the sling eyelets to the lift hooks, but a time out was not performed to double check that all strap eyelets were secured before the resident was raised. While the resident was being lifted, one sling eyelet came off the hook, and the resident slid out of the sling and fell to the floor. Staff statements described that the resident tilted to one side, began sliding out, and could not be caught in time. A registered nurse who responded found the resident on the floor with a certified nursing aide holding the resident's upper body and head. The resident was sent to the emergency department for evaluation after the fall. Hospital paperwork documented x-rays and a CT scan that were negative for fracture, and the medical note documented no bruise, swelling, redness, or increased work of breathing at the time of assessment. Interviews with the aides and nursing staff confirmed that the sling eyelet had not remained secured on the hook during the lift and that the time out process was not completed before raising the resident.
Improper PPE Used During Terminal Room Cleaning
Penalty
Summary
An infection prevention and control deficiency was identified when staff did not maintain the facility’s terminal cleaning procedure for a resident who had been on contact precautions. Resident #72 was admitted with diagnoses including thyroid disorder, diabetes insipidus, and unspecified lack of expected normal physiological development in childhood, and the 7/22/25 MDS documented severe cognitive deficits. The resident was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living except eating, which required substantial to maximal assistance. A physician order dated 7/24/25 placed the resident on contact precautions, which were discontinued on 8/1/25 after a positive Rhino-Entero virus. During observation on 8/1/25, a housekeeper was performing terminal cleaning in the resident’s room and removing a privacy/cubicle curtain while wearing only gloves and a mask. The facility’s Terminal Room Cleaning Policy required staff to wear PPE including gowns, gloves, and masks and to remove privacy/cubicle curtains for laundering during terminal cleaning. The housekeeper stated they had been instructed to use only gloves and a mask for this task. The Infection Preventionist and the Director of Environmental Services and Security both stated that proper PPE for removing the curtain included a gown, gloves, and a mask, and that the housekeeper had been trained on terminal cleaning and infection control.
Single CNA Provides Care Against Care Plan Requirements
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received care in accordance with their comprehensive person-centered care plan. Specifically, the care plan for the resident required assistance from two staff members for all care activities. However, on one occasion, a single Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) provided care to the resident alone. This action was contrary to the care plan, which specified that two caregivers were necessary for tasks such as bed mobility and transfers. The resident, who was wheelchair-bound and dependent on others for all care, was at risk for significant bone fragility due to chronic immobilization and medication use. Following the unauthorized single-person care, the resident exhibited signs of discomfort and swelling in the left thigh, prompting a transfer to the hospital to rule out a fracture. The facility's internal investigation, including video surveillance review, confirmed that the CNA repositioned the resident without assistance, using a chuck to move the resident. The resident's care plan had been reviewed and documented the need for two-person assistance to prevent abuse, neglect, and mistreatment, which was not adhered to during this incident.

Failure to Protect Resident from Physical Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from physical abuse, as evidenced by an incident involving a registered nurse and a resident with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and other impairments. On the day of the incident, the resident, who has a history of behavioral symptoms and requires substantial assistance with daily activities, was involved in a confrontation with a registered nurse. The nurse was observed by two staff members and on video surveillance restraining the resident by holding their forearms with closed hands and yelling at them. This action was contrary to the facility's policy, which prohibits physical restraint and requires open-handed gentle touching. The incident was not immediately reported by the witnesses, a certified nurse aide and a speech therapist, who observed the nurse's actions. The speech therapist reported the incident the following day, expressing uncertainty about whether the nurse's actions were appropriate. The facility's policy mandates that staff report any suspected abuse immediately, and the delay in reporting contributed to the deficiency. The facility's occurrence report concluded that there was reasonable cause to believe abuse occurred. Interviews with facility staff, including the nurse manager, director of nursing, and chief nursing officer, revealed concerns about the nurse's handling of the situation. They noted that the nurse's actions did not align with the facility's training and policies on managing resident behaviors. The facility's policy emphasizes the use of non-restrictive interventions and prohibits the use of physical restraint, which was not adhered to in this case.
Delayed Reporting of Alleged Abuse Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an alleged abuse incident involving a resident and a registered nurse to the New York State Department of Health within the required timeframe. The incident occurred on 6/12/24, when a certified nurse aide and a speech therapist witnessed a verbal and physical interaction between the resident and the nurse. The certified nurse aide did not report the incident immediately, and the speech therapist reported it to the administration the following day, on 6/13/24. The facility's policy mandates immediate reporting of such incidents, but the report to the state was delayed. The resident involved in the incident had a history of Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, neurogenic bladder, and G-tube placement, with moderately impaired cognition and behavioral symptoms. The resident required substantial assistance with daily activities and had impairments in both upper and lower extremities. During the incident, the resident was observed swinging their arms and hitting their head, while the nurse held the resident's forearms down and pointed a finger close to the resident's face. The facility's policy only allows open-handed gentle touching, which was not adhered to in this case. The facility conducted a 5-day investigation, concluding that there was reasonable cause to believe abuse occurred. However, the results of this investigation were not submitted to the state until 6/21/24, beyond the 5-working-day requirement. Interviews with staff revealed that there was uncertainty about the appropriateness of the nurse's actions, and the incident was not reported to the facility administration until the day after it occurred. The delay in reporting and investigation submission constituted a deficiency in the facility's compliance with state regulations.
