Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Long Island Care Center Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple chronic conditions experienced repeated episodes of watery stool over several days. Despite facility policy requiring physician notification for changes in condition, there was no documentation that the physician or Medical Director was informed. Interviews confirmed that staff did not communicate the change, resulting in a failure to follow established protocols.
Two residents with impaired cognition experienced ongoing watery bowel movements that were documented by CNAs, but their care plans were not updated by the interdisciplinary team to reflect these changes, despite facility policy requiring updates when a resident's condition changes. Nursing staff interviews confirmed that care plans were not revised as needed.
A resident with anxiety and borderline personality disorder was physically abused by an LPN, who hit them with a plastic bottle. The incident was captured on surveillance video, and the resident was later transferred to the hospital after calling the police. The facility's investigation confirmed the abuse.
Failure to Notify Physician of Resident's Change in Condition
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident's physician of a significant change in condition, specifically repeated episodes of watery stool. Documentation showed that a resident with multiple complex diagnoses, including cerebral palsy, peripheral vascular disease, seizure disorder, chronic lung disease, and asthma, experienced watery bowel movements on several occasions over a two-week period. Despite this, there was no evidence in the nursing or medical notes that the Medical Director or physician was informed of these changes, as required by facility policy. Interviews with facility staff revealed that Certified Nursing Assistants are responsible for reporting such changes to the nursing staff, who are then expected to assess the resident and notify the physician. However, the Registered Nurse Supervisor could not recall being informed of the resident's condition, and the Medical Director confirmed they were not notified. The facility's policy mandates physician notification for any change in a resident's condition to ensure continuous quality of care, but this process was not followed in this instance.
Failure to Update Care Plans for Changes in Bowel Patterns
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the care plans for two residents were reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team to reflect ongoing changes in their bowel patterns, specifically the presence of watery bowel movements. For both residents, Certified Nursing Assistant Accountability Records documented multiple instances of watery bowel movements over several days. Despite this, their comprehensive care plans, which addressed constipation and included interventions such as medication administration and monitoring, were not updated to reflect the new bowel patterns. The facility's policy requires care plans to be updated whenever there is a change in the resident's condition or other factors affecting care, but this was not followed in these cases. Resident #1 had diagnoses including cerebral palsy, peripheral vascular disease, seizure disorder, chronic lung disease, and asthma, with severely impaired cognition. Resident #2 had coronary artery disease and a cerebrovascular accident, with moderately impaired cognition. Both residents had care plans focused on constipation, but neither plan was revised to address the documented watery bowel movements. Interviews with nursing staff and the DON confirmed that care plans are typically updated quarterly or as needed, but in these instances, the updates did not occur as required, with staff citing reasons such as the absence of active unit managers and the resident's transfer to the hospital.
Failure to Protect Resident from Physical Abuse by Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from physical abuse by a nursing home staff member. Specifically, a surveillance video recording showed that a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) hit a resident on the left side of their face with a plastic bottle. The incident occurred when the resident, who had diagnoses of anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and end-stage renal disease, approached the LPN at the nursing station. The resident was later transferred to the hospital after calling the police and complaining of pain, although no visible injury was noted at the time of assessment by the Registered Nurse Supervisor (RNS). The facility's policy on preventing abuse and mistreatment was not followed, as evidenced by the actions of the LPN. The surveillance footage showed the LPN standing up quickly and hitting the resident with a bottle after the resident approached the nursing station. The RNS arrived shortly after the incident and separated the LPN and the resident. The resident was observed using their cell phone to call the police, who arrived and interviewed both the resident and the LPN. The LPN left the facility after the police interview. Interviews with the RNS and the LPN provided conflicting accounts of the incident. The RNS stated that the LPN reported picking up the cranberry juice and sanitizer bottles to prevent the resident from throwing them, while the LPN claimed they did not hit the resident. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator, both new to the facility, were not familiar with the individuals involved in the incident. The facility's investigation concluded that physical abuse had occurred based on the surveillance footage.
