Health deficiencies cited at St Cabrini Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found multiple instances where medication carts were left unlocked and unattended with computer screens visible and no privacy screens applied on two units. On one unit, carts were left in the hallway and near the nurse's station while an LPN was with a resident in the dining area, and staff later acknowledged they should have applied the privacy screens. On another unit, a cart was left in front of a room with the screen open to a resident's MAR while an LPN was inside the room, and in a separate instance an LPN was obtaining vitals with a resident while the nearby cart's computer remained exposed. Staff interviews confirmed that privacy screens were not used as required, despite an existing policy that residents are to be afforded privacy in treatment and care.
Surveyors found multiple instances where medication carts were left unlocked and unattended, with computer screens displaying medication administration records, on two nursing units. On one unit, a cart was left in a hallway and another near the nurse’s station while the assigned LPNs were away obtaining vitals and administering medications to a resident. On another unit, a cart was left unlocked outside a room with an open MAR while an LPN was inside with a resident, and a separate cart was left unlocked on one side of the nurse’s station while the LPN was on the other side with a resident. In interviews, involved LPNs and a unit manager acknowledged the carts should have been locked and that access to medications is supposed to be restricted to authorized staff under facility policy.
A resident with heart failure and COPD continued to receive a higher dose of Carvedilol after a cardiologist recommended a reduction, because nursing staff did not promptly notify the physician of the new recommendation. The resident's family provided the cardiologist's report to a nurse, but the physician was not informed until several days later, resulting in continued administration of the higher dose.
Failure to Protect Privacy of Electronic Medical Records on Medication Carts
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves failure to protect the privacy and confidentiality of residents' personal and medical information by leaving medication carts unlocked and computer screens visible without privacy screens. During an abbreviated survey on multiple units, surveyors observed on 3 North that medication carts were left unattended in the hallway and near the nurse's station with the computers open and no privacy screens applied. At one point, a unit manager walked past an unattended, unlocked cart and then locked the cart and computer screen, but the cart had already been left unsecured. One LPN on 3 North stated they were not aware that the privacy screen was not applied, and another LPN acknowledged they should have applied the privacy screen when walking away from the cart. On 2 South, surveyors observed a medication cart in front of a resident room with the screen open to a specific resident's medication administration record while the assigned LPN was inside the room. That LPN stated they were busy and forgot to apply the privacy screen, and acknowledged they should have locked the cart and applied the privacy screen, demonstrating they knew how to do so. In another observation on 2 South, an LPN was obtaining vitals with a resident on one side of the nurse's station while the medication cart on the other side had no privacy screen on the computer. That LPN confirmed the privacy screen was not applied, despite the facility's Resident Rights to Privacy Policy stating that residents are to be treated with consideration, respect, and full recognition of their dignity and individuality, including privacy in treatment and care for personal needs.
Unlocked and Unattended Medication Carts with Open MAR Screens
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to ensure medications and biologicals were stored securely and accessible only to authorized personnel, as required by facility policy and 10 NYCRR 415.18(e)(1-4). During an abbreviated survey on 1/29/2026, multiple observations were made of unattended, unlocked medication carts with open computer screens displaying medication administration records. On Unit 3 North at 10:42 a.m., a medication cart was observed left in the hallway unlocked and unattended; a unit manager later walked past, noticed it was unlocked, and then locked the cart and computer screen. At 10:46 a.m. on the same unit, another medication cart near the nurse’s station was observed unlocked and unattended while the assigned nurse was in the dining area obtaining vitals and administering medications to a resident. On Unit 2 South, similar issues were observed. At 11:00 a.m., a medication cart was found in front of a resident’s room with the cart unlocked and the computer screen open to that resident’s medication administration record while the nurse was inside the room with the resident. At 11:03 a.m., another medication cart was observed unlocked on one side of the nurse’s station while the assigned nurse was on the opposite side of the station obtaining vitals from a resident. In subsequent interviews, the involved LPNs acknowledged that they had not locked the carts, stated they typically do lock them, and attributed the lapses to being busy or believing the carts were locked. These observations and statements occurred despite a written facility policy stating that medications and biologicals are to be stored safely and securely, with access limited to licensed nursing, pharmacy personnel, or other lawfully authorized staff.
Failure to Timely Notify Physician of Cardiologist's Medication Recommendation
Penalty
Summary
Nursing staff failed to notify the attending physician in a timely manner of a cardiologist's recommendation to reduce a resident's Carvedilol dosage from 25 mg to 6.25 mg twice daily. The resident, who had chronic diastolic congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with moderately impaired cognition, attended an outside cardiology appointment where the dose reduction was recommended due to junctional bradycardia. Upon return, the resident's family handed the cardiologist's report to a nurse and communicated the presence of recommendations. However, there was no documented evidence that the physician was notified of the cardiologist's recommendation as required by facility policy. As a result, the resident continued to receive the higher Carvedilol dose of 25 mg twice daily for several days following the cardiology appointment. The medication administration records confirmed the continued administration of the higher dose until the physician was finally notified and the order was changed to the recommended lower dose. Interviews with nursing staff and the physician confirmed that the standard procedure of reviewing recommendations, notifying the physician, and documenting the communication was not followed, and the physician was not made aware of the cardiologist's recommendations until several days later.
