Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Highland Park Rehabilitation And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to provide appropriate wound care for two residents with skin conditions. One resident developed an untreated ulcer on their foot, while another resident received improper treatment that caused additional skin damage. Staff failed to follow wound care recommendations and document appropriate treatments.
A resident on Warfarin therapy was not adequately monitored for PT-INR levels, leading to hospitalization with a PT-INR level greater than 8.5 and bright red bleeding per rectum. Facility staff failed to follow policies for monitoring and communicating lab results.
The facility was non-compliant with the 2020 Fire Code of New York State, failing to install carbon monoxide detectors in all required areas and not performing necessary maintenance. Observations and interviews revealed that detectors were only installed in corridors and were not vacuumed monthly as required, affecting both Unit A and Unit B.
Failure to Provide Appropriate Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice and the comprehensive person-centered care plan for two residents with skin conditions. Resident #39, who had diagnoses including cellulitis, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cerebral infarction, developed an ulcer on the top of their right foot. Despite multiple observations and reports by staff, no treatment was initiated, and the ulcer was not documented in the care plan. The ulcer was observed to be weeping serous fluid, and the resident reported that no treatment was being applied. Various staff members, including CNAs and LPNs, were aware of the ulcer but failed to ensure that appropriate treatment was initiated and documented in the resident's medical record. Resident #5, who had diagnoses including an unspecified open wound of the buttock, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and bipolar disorder, did not receive care according to the wound consultant's recommendations. The care plan included instructions to monitor skin per the medical doctor's order and to use non-adhesive dressings. However, the treatment administration record revealed that adhesive dressings were used, which caused new abrasions on the resident's buttocks. The wound consultant had recommended using Calmoseptine and non-adhesive dressings, but these recommendations were not followed, leading to further skin damage. Interviews with staff, including LPNs, RNs, and the Director of Nursing, revealed a lack of communication and follow-up on wound care recommendations. The staff failed to document and implement appropriate treatments for the residents' skin conditions, resulting in untreated ulcers and additional skin damage. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that an incident report and assessment should have been completed immediately, and appropriate treatments should have been implemented to protect the residents from further harm.
Failure to Monitor Anticoagulant Therapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that Resident #130's drug regimen was free from unnecessary drugs, specifically failing to adequately monitor the Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio (PT-INR) for a resident on anticoagulant therapy. The facility's policy required PT-INR results to be faxed to the nursing office, entered into the electronic medical record, and communicated to the provider. However, there was no documented evidence that these steps were followed for Resident #130 from 4/3/23 to 4/30/23, leading to adverse consequences. Resident #130 had a history of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, anemia, and a prosthetic heart valve, and was on Warfarin therapy. The resident's PT-INR was only checked once on 4/6/23, showing a subtherapeutic level of 1.4, but no further PT-INR tests were conducted despite the physician's orders and the facility's policy. The lack of monitoring resulted in the resident being hospitalized on 4/30/23 with a PT-INR level greater than 8.5 and bright red bleeding per rectum, likely due to hemorrhoids in the setting of coagulopathy. Interviews with facility staff, including the Physician Assistant, Registered Nurse, and former Director of Nursing, revealed a lapse in communication and oversight in monitoring the resident's PT-INR levels. The staff acknowledged that the PT-INR monitoring was not performed as required, and the necessary follow-up actions were not taken, leading to the resident's hospitalization for a coagulation disorder.
Non-Compliance with Fire Code for Carbon Monoxide Detection
Penalty
Summary
The facility was found to be non-compliant with Section 915 of the 2020 Fire Code of New York State, which mandates carbon monoxide detection in all rooms and sleeping areas with fuel-burning appliances, as well as ongoing preventative maintenance of carbon monoxide detectors. Observations revealed that plug-in style battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms were installed in the corridors of Unit A and Unit B, but not in individual rooms or sleeping areas as required. Additionally, the facility failed to perform the necessary maintenance on these detectors, specifically vacuuming them monthly as recommended by the manufacturer's instructions. The Maintenance Director confirmed that the facility did not vacuum the detectors and had no documentation to support that this maintenance was performed. Review of the facility's carbon monoxide testing logs showed that while the alarms were tested monthly from May 2022 through March 2024, there was no documentation indicating that the alarms had been vacuumed during this period. This lack of proper maintenance and documentation was confirmed through interviews with the Maintenance Director, who stated that only one brand of carbon monoxide detector was used throughout the building and that the facility did not have records of cleaning the detectors. This deficiency affected both Unit A and Unit B, putting residents at risk due to non-compliance with the fire code and inadequate maintenance of safety equipment.
