Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Queens Boulevard Extended Care Facility during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain appetizing food temperatures during meal service on two floors, as observed during a survey. Residents reported meals being lukewarm or cold, and some requested reheating. The Food Service Director acknowledged the issue, noting that meal delivery took longer than expected, leading to inadequate food temperatures.
A resident reported being roughly handled by a CNA, but the LTC facility failed to investigate the allegation as required by their policy. Despite the resident's intact cognition and clear communication of the incident to the Social Services Director and Assistant Director of Nursing, no investigation was conducted. The Assistant Director of Nursing did not pursue the complaint further due to a lack of physical evidence, and the Director of Nursing was unaware of the issue until later. This resulted in a deficiency for not adhering to the mandated investigation procedures.
A resident's quarterly assessment was not completed as required due to administrative errors and a computer glitch. The MDS Director created a Discharge Assessment for a planned discharge that did not occur, leading to the system halting subsequent assessments. The issue was not identified until months later, with the DON and Administrator unaware of the lapse.
Two residents received care that did not meet professional standards. One resident was given oxygen therapy without a physician's order, contrary to facility policy. Another resident, with a history of diabetes, had high blood sugar levels on multiple occasions without the physician being notified, as required by their care plan. Insulin was administered without a physician's order. Facility policies on oxygen therapy and changes in condition were not followed.
Deficiency in Maintaining Appetizing Food Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food was served at appetizing temperatures during meal service, as observed during the Recertification Survey. This deficiency was noted on both the 5th and 6th floors, where meals were not maintained at the required temperatures. The facility's policy mandates that hot meals should be kept at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or above, and cold meals at 35 degrees or below. However, during the survey, it was found that the food temperatures were below these standards. For instance, on the 5th floor, chicken cacciatore was at 124.8 degrees Fahrenheit, and on the 6th floor, it was at 134.2 degrees Fahrenheit, both below the required temperature. Interviews with residents and staff further highlighted the issue. Residents reported that meals were often served lukewarm or cold, and some residents requested their meals to be reheated in the microwave. The Food Service Director acknowledged that the food temperatures were not adequate and that the meal delivery process took longer than expected, contributing to the temperature issues. This deficiency was evident for multiple residents, including those with intact cognition and those requiring assistance with eating, indicating a systemic issue in maintaining proper food temperatures during meal service.
Failure to Investigate Abuse Allegation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all allegations of abuse were thoroughly investigated, as evidenced by the case of a resident who reported being roughly handled by a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The resident, who had intact cognition and required assistance with various activities of daily living, reported the incident to the Social Services Director and the Assistant Director of Nursing. Despite the resident's complaint, there was no documented evidence of an investigation into the allegation. The facility's policy mandates that all reports of abuse be promptly and thoroughly investigated, but this was not adhered to in this case. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of communication and follow-through regarding the resident's complaint. The Director of Social Services acknowledged the resident's discomfort with the CNA but did not elaborate on the reasons. The Assistant Director of Nursing admitted to receiving the complaint but did not investigate further, as they found no physical evidence of harm, such as scratches or bruises. The Director of Nursing was unaware of the allegation until informed by the surveyors and stated that any abuse allegation should be investigated immediately. This oversight led to a deficiency in the facility's compliance with regulations requiring thorough investigations of abuse allegations.
Failure to Complete Quarterly Assessment for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was assessed using the quarterly review instrument as required by federal regulations. Specifically, the quarterly assessment for Resident #107 was not completed within the mandated timeframe. The resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) Admission Assessment was completed on December 22, 2023, and submitted on January 9, 2024. However, there was no documented evidence of a subsequent quarterly assessment being completed after this date. This oversight was identified during a recertification survey conducted from June 13, 2024, to June 21, 2024. The deficiency occurred due to a series of administrative errors and a computer glitch. The Director of Minimum Data Set stated that they had created a Discharge Assessment for the resident in anticipation of a planned discharge in February 2024, which did not occur. Upon deleting the discharge assessment, the electronic medical record system stopped generating subsequent assessments for the resident. This error went unnoticed until the quarterly assessment was completed on June 17, 2024. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator were unaware of the lapse in completing and submitting the quarterly assessment, attributing the issue to a computer glitch that altered the assessment schedule sequence.
Failure to Adhere to Physician Orders and Facility Policies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that services provided met professional standards of quality for two residents. Resident #85 was observed using oxygen therapy without a physician's order, which is against the facility's policy that requires a physician's order for oxygen administration unless in an emergency. Despite being administered oxygen for about a week, there was no documentation or physician's order for this treatment in the resident's records. Interviews with staff revealed that the oxygen was administered based on the resident's oxygen saturation levels, but the necessary physician's order was not obtained. Resident #20, who has a history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and diabetes mellitus, had a physician's order to notify the physician if their blood sugar levels were below 70 or above 400 milligrams per deciliter. However, the licensed nurse failed to notify the physician on seven occasions when the resident's blood sugar exceeded 400 milligrams per deciliter. Additionally, the resident was administered 7 units of Novolin R insulin without a physician's order on five occasions when their blood sugar was above 400 milligrams per deciliter. The nurse justified this action by citing the resident's history of life-threatening hypoglycemia, but the physician was not informed of the high blood sugar levels. The facility's policies on oxygen therapy and changes in a resident's condition were not followed, leading to these deficiencies. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the standard of practice was not adhered to, as the nurse should have obtained a physician's order for oxygen therapy and notified the physician of the resident's high blood sugar levels. These actions and inactions contributed to the facility's failure to meet professional standards of quality care.
