Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at St Patrick's Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Repeated nursing staffing shortages were documented across multiple units and shifts, with floors often missing LPNs/RNs and CNAs compared with facility par levels. Residents, family representatives, and staff reported delayed call bell response, long waits for toileting and incontinence care, residents remaining in bed, and units sometimes staffed with only two to three CNAs for 44 residents. Interviews also described RN supervisors covering floors, frequent call outs, turnover, and ongoing staffing instability.
Failure to Notify Representative of Medication Discontinuation: A resident with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, depression, and severe cognitive impairment had Namenda and Midodrine discontinued, but the chart contained no evidence that the resident's representative was promptly notified. Records showed Namenda was stopped for low benefit and polypharmacy, while staff interviews confirmed the family was not informed and later discovered the missing meds during a care plan meeting.
Failure to Protect Resident from Physical Abuse: A resident with dementia and moderate cognitive impairment reported that a CNA hit them on the nose and grabbed their hand during care. Staff documented a skin tear to the arm and swelling to the nose bridge, and the resident was sent to the hospital for further evaluation. The facility’s investigation included conflicting staff accounts about whether the resident became combative and whether the CNA’s actions caused the injuries.
The facility failed to protect two residents from sexual abuse by a staff member. One resident reported being fondled, while another reported an oral sexual act. Both residents provided inconsistent statements, and the facility's investigation concluded there was no evidence of abuse. However, a sexual assault forensic exam for one resident documented physical evidence.
The facility failed to report allegations of sexual abuse involving two residents within the required 2-hour timeframe. The delay was attributed to the unavailability of key staff and lack of access to a computer, despite the facility's policy requiring immediate reporting.
The facility failed to report the results of investigations into allegations of sexual abuse involving two residents within the required 5 working days. Both investigations concluded with no evidence supporting the allegations, but the delay in reporting constituted a deficiency.
Repeated Nursing Staffing Shortages and Delayed Resident Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide sufficient nursing staff to meet resident needs and to maintain a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. The deficiency was based on observation, record review, and interviews showing repeated staffing shortages across multiple units and shifts, including day, evening, and night shifts. The facility assessment last updated in 11/2025 listed staffing par levels for each floor, but actual staffing schedules from 11/2024 through 12/2024, 01/2026 through 03/2026, and 06/2026 showed numerous dates when the floors were short of one or more nurses and/or certified nursing assistants compared with those par levels. Complaints and interviews described delayed response to call bells, residents waiting extended periods for toileting assistance, residents remaining in bed for long periods, and residents not receiving timely incontinence care. A resident representative reported that call bells were not answered in a timely manner, residents waited up to three hours for toileting help, and one resident remained in bed until about 2:00 PM. Another complaint reported residents lined up in the hallway on the locked dementia unit and stated only three staff members were caring for 44 residents, with the resident representative also providing feeding assistance to one resident because of the staffing shortage. Staff and resident interviews confirmed the staffing concerns were ongoing. Residents reported waiting up to two hours for call bell response, especially at night, and said they sometimes did not receive clean incontinent briefs or timely help to get to the bathroom. Housekeeping and nursing staff described units smelling of urine, residents walking in the hallway holding wet incontinent briefs, and call bells ringing without being answered promptly. CNAs and nurses stated that on some weekends there were only two to three CNAs on a unit, that some residents remained in bed when staffing was low, and that staffing shortages occurred frequently, with RN supervisors sometimes covering floor assignments. The staffing coordinator and DON stated there were frequent call outs, turnover, and ongoing recruitment efforts, and that the facility used per diem, agency, and supervisory coverage to address shortages.
Failure to Notify Representative of Medication Discontinuation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the resident and the resident representative were promptly notified when there was a need to alter treatment significantly, specifically when medications were discontinued. This deficiency was identified for one resident reviewed for notification of change, and the report states that the resident's representative was not informed when Namenda and Midodrine were stopped. Resident #33 was admitted with diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, non-Alzheimer's dementia, and depression. The Quarterly MDS documented severe cognitive impairment and the need for supervision or touching assistance with most activities of daily living. The care plan addressed cardiovascular issues related to hypotension and impaired cognition, with interventions including administering medications as prescribed and monitoring blood pressure and vital signs. A physician order documented that Namenda 10 mg twice daily was discontinued, and a medical progress note stated it was discontinued due to low benefit and contribution to polypharmacy. The record contained no note documenting discontinuation of Midodrine 10 mg, and review of progress notes from November 2024 through June 2025 found no evidence that the resident's representative was notified of the medication changes. Staff interviews confirmed that the medications were discontinued by a former PA, that the family notification was not documented, and that the family later learned of the missing medications during a care plan meeting.
Failure to Protect Resident from Physical Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was free from physical abuse. Resident #1 had diagnoses of spinal stenosis, depression, and dementia, and the MDS dated 04/11/2025 documented moderate cognitive impairment. The resident required one-person assistance with bed mobility and toileting hygiene. During the evening of 05/27/2025, the resident reported that CNA #1 hit them on the nose and grabbed their hand. A nursing progress note documented that the resident sustained a 2-centimeter skin tear on the left arm when CNA #1 was trying to provide care. RN Supervisor #1 later assessed the resident and documented a 2-centimeter skin tear over a purpura area on the left forearm and about 1-centimeter swelling over the bridge of the nose with no skin break. The resident stated that CNA #1 hit them on the nose and scratched their arm. The resident received Tylenol for pain and was transferred to the hospital for further evaluation, and did not return to the facility. The facility’s investigation recorded conflicting accounts of the event. CNA #1 stated the resident became combative during care, hit and kicked them, and that they held the resident’s wrists to prevent injury. Other staff interviews noted the resident was upset about how personal items were arranged and that this could have triggered behavior that was not at baseline. The DON and Administrator stated they could not confirm intentional hitting, while the resident’s representative reported a linear fracture to the nose. The survey cited the facility for failure to protect the resident from abuse.
Failure to Protect Residents from Sexual Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect residents from sexual abuse by nursing home staff, as evidenced by incidents involving two residents. Resident #1 reported that an Asian man entered their room, asked to see their hernia, and then fondled their penis. This incident was reported to a Certified Nursing Assistant, and the resident expressed fear during the event. The facility's investigation noted inconsistencies in Resident #1's statements and concluded there was no evidence to support the abuse claim. However, Resident #1's primary physician documented that the resident wanted to go to the emergency room for an examination but was not transferred, and there was no documentation to support that the resident refused the transfer. Resident #2 reported that an Asian man entered their room and performed an oral sexual act while they were asleep. The resident was transferred to the emergency room, where a sexual assault forensic exam was conducted, and evidence was collected. The facility's investigation also concluded there was no evidence to support the abuse claim, citing inconsistencies in Resident #2's statements. However, the emergency department's physical exam documented a dried substance on Resident #2's penis, and the resident expressed feeling helpless and sick to their stomach during the assault. Interviews with staff and the alleged perpetrator, a Physical Therapist Assistant, revealed conflicting accounts of the events. The Physical Therapist Assistant denied any inappropriate conduct and provided detailed descriptions of their interactions with both residents. Despite the facility's policy to suspend employees during abuse investigations, the investigation concluded without definitive evidence of abuse, and the alleged perpetrator was terminated. The police were involved, and the investigation continued due to the involvement of two residents.
Failure to Timely Report Allegations of Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation, and mistreatment were reported immediately, as required by regulations. Specifically, two residents reported incidents of sexual abuse by an alleged perpetrator described as an Asian man. Resident #1 reported the incident to a Certified Nursing Assistant, stating that the abuse occurred at 10:00 am, but the facility did not report the allegation to the New York State Department of Health within the required 2-hour timeframe. Instead, the report was made at 1:08 am the following day. Similarly, Resident #2 reported an incident of sexual assault to a Licensed Practical Nurse, stating that the abuse occurred between 10:30 am and 11:00 am. The facility also failed to report this allegation within the required 2-hour timeframe, reporting it at 12:39 am the following day. The facility's investigation summaries documented inconsistencies in the residents' statements and concluded that there was no evidence to support the allegations of abuse. However, the facility's policy and procedure on abuse and neglect required that such allegations be reported within 2 hours if there was reasonable cause for abuse. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and the Administrator revealed that the delay in reporting was due to the unavailability of the Administrator and the Assistant Director of Nursing, as well as the Director of Nursing's lack of access to a computer. This failure to report the allegations in a timely manner constitutes a deficiency in the facility's compliance with regulatory requirements.
Failure to Timely Report Investigation Results
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not report the results of all investigations to the administrator or designated representative and to other officials in accordance with State law within 5 working days of the incident. This deficiency was evident in two out of four residents sampled. Resident #1 reported an incident of sexual abuse by an alleged perpetrator on 04/06/24, but the facility completed their investigation and submitted the report to the New York State Department of Health on 04/15/24. Similarly, Resident #2 reported a sexual assault on 04/06/24, and the facility also completed their investigation and submitted the report on 04/15/24. Both investigations concluded that there was no evidence to support the allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment. However, the facility failed to report the results of these investigations within the required timeframe of 5 working days from the incident date. Resident #1, who has diagnoses including Anxiety disorder, Schizophrenia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and right groin pain/mass inguinal hernia, reported that an Asian man entered their room and fondled their penis. The investigation noted inconsistencies in Resident #1's statements and descriptions of the alleged perpetrator. Resident #2, with diagnoses including Chronic Kidney Disease, Dysphagia, and a penile implant, reported that an Asian man performed fellatio and attempted penetration. The investigation documented that Resident #2's significant other mentioned hearing staff talk about an Asian man on another floor. Both investigations concluded with no evidence supporting the allegations, but the facility's delay in reporting the results constituted a deficiency.
