Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Taconic Rehabilitation And Nursing At Beacon during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not ensure the dignity of three residents by failing to conceal their urinary catheter drainage bags. A resident with moderately impaired cognition was observed with an uncovered catheter bag visible from their shared room and during transport. Another resident, cognitively intact, had an uncovered bag visible from the hallway, contrary to their care plan. A third resident with severe cognitive impairment was seen with an uncovered bag on the floor during breakfast. Staff interviews confirmed the need for privacy covers.
A resident with functional quadriplegia and diabetes was excluded from their care plan meeting due to the facility's failure to reschedule the meeting to include the resident's representative, despite the resident's request for family involvement. The social worker admitted forgetting to reschedule, leading to the resident's exclusion from the planning process.
A resident's PASRR assessment was missing an identification number prior to admission, contrary to facility policy. Staff responsible for reviewing new admission screens failed to ensure the presence of this number, and the hospital's internal system did not capture it. The deficiency was identified during a survey, highlighting a lapse in the screening process.
Two residents experienced significant health issues due to the facility's failure to monitor and address their nutrition and hydration needs. One resident with congestive heart failure had a 24-pound weight gain that was not reported, while another resident with metabolic encephalopathy experienced a 7.93% weight loss without proper follow-up on dietary recommendations. Inconsistent weight records, missing calorie count results, and discrepancies in meal delivery contributed to these deficiencies.
The facility failed to follow menus for two residents, leading to nutritional care deficiencies. One resident received fish not documented on the meal ticket due to lactose intolerance, without consulting the dietitian. Another resident did not receive items listed on the meal ticket, such as apple juice and fortified mashed potatoes. The kitchen staff did not clarify discrepancies with the dietitian, resulting in incorrect meal provisions.
A recertification survey identified infection control deficiencies in an LTC facility involving four residents. An LPN failed to perform proper hand hygiene during a wound care treatment by wearing multiple layers of gloves without washing hands between changes. An RN did not follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions by not wearing a gown during a dressing change. Additionally, a resident's urinary catheter collection bag was found uncovered and on the floor, contrary to the care plan. These actions indicate lapses in infection control practices.
Failure to Conceal Urinary Catheter Bags Compromises Resident Dignity
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that urinary catheter drainage collection bags were concealed to maintain the dignity of three residents. Resident #322, who had moderately impaired cognition and required assistance with daily activities, was observed multiple times with an uncovered urinary catheter drainage bag visible from the door of their shared room. Additionally, the resident was transported to the therapy room with the catheter bag attached to their wheelchair without a cover. Staff interviews confirmed that the catheter bag should have been covered to ensure privacy. Resident #101, who was cognitively intact and required assistance with daily activities, was observed with an uncovered urinary drainage collection bag visible from the hallway while in bed. Despite the care plan indicating the need for the bag to be covered, the Director of Nursing stated that the bags only needed to be covered when residents were out of their rooms. Resident #86, who had severely impaired cognition and required extensive assistance, was also observed with an uncovered catheter drainage collection bag on the floor while having breakfast. Staff acknowledged the need to cover the bag and remove it from the floor.
Resident Excluded from Care Plan Meeting
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident and their representative were given the opportunity to participate in the development and implementation of the resident's person-centered plan of care. This deficiency was identified during a recertification survey, where it was found that the facility did not include the resident's representative in the care plan meeting as requested. The facility's policy requires that residents and their family members or legal representatives participate in the care planning process, but this was not adhered to in the case of one resident. The resident in question, who was cognitively intact and had diagnoses including functional quadriplegia, primary adrenocortical insufficiency, and diabetes mellitus, expressed a strong preference for family involvement in care discussions. Despite this, the resident's care plan meeting was held without their or their representative's presence, contrary to their wishes. The social worker acknowledged the oversight, admitting that they forgot to reschedule the meeting to accommodate the resident's family, resulting in the resident's exclusion from the planning process.
Missing Identification Number on PASRR Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident, who was screened for mental disorder or intellectual disability, had an identification number documented on their Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) assessment prior to admission. Specifically, the electronic medical record of a resident revealed that the PASRR assessment was signed but did not include an identification number before the resident's admission. The facility's policy, revised in November 2023, mandates that a screen is required for every patient or resident prior to admission, regardless of the length of stay. During the survey, it was found that the staff responsible for reviewing new admission screens did not ensure the presence of an identification number on the PASRR assessment. Staff #10, who was interviewed, stated that they kept a log for all admissions and would send back any incomplete screenings to Admissions. However, in this case, the screener's identification number was not picked up in the hospital's internal system, and Staff #10 acknowledged their responsibility to review the screening form for completeness, including the screener's identification number.
Failure to Monitor and Address Nutrition and Hydration Needs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate nutrition and hydration for two residents, leading to significant health issues. Resident #320, who had diagnoses including congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, experienced a 24-pound weight gain that was not reported to the medical provider. Despite physician orders for daily weights and notification of significant weight changes, the facility did not have a system in place to accurately weigh, monitor, and report weights. The resident's weight records were inconsistent, and there was no documentation of physician notification regarding the weight gain, which was critical given the resident's medical conditions. Resident #71, diagnosed with metabolic encephalopathy, diabetes, and dysphagia, experienced a 7.93% weight loss over 30 days. The resident's care plan included dietitian recommendations for fortified foods and increased supplements, but there was no documented follow-through on these recommendations. The resident's calorie count results were missing, and there was a lack of communication between dietary staff and medical providers regarding the resident's nutritional needs. Observations revealed discrepancies in meal delivery, such as missing items and incorrect portions, further contributing to the resident's weight loss. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness and communication regarding the residents' weight changes and dietary needs. The Physician's Assistant and nursing staff were not informed of critical weight changes, and there was confusion about the documentation and implementation of dietary recommendations. The facility's failure to monitor and address these issues resulted in significant health risks for the residents involved.
Failure to Follow Menus for Residents' Nutritional Needs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that menus were followed for two residents, leading to deficiencies in nutritional care. Resident #61, who had diagnoses including a fractured femur, atrial fibrillation, and congestive heart failure, was on a modified diet and required assistance with eating. During an observation, it was noted that the resident received fish, which was not documented on the meal ticket. The kitchen supervisor acknowledged that the resident's ticket only documented stewed tomatoes and added fish to the tray without consulting the dietitian, as the meal was macaroni and cheese, which the resident could not consume due to lactose intolerance. The food service director and dietitian confirmed that the kitchen staff should have consulted them before making changes to the meal. Resident #71, with diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy, diabetes, and dysphagia, was on a regular puree diet with nectar thick liquids. Observations revealed discrepancies between the meal ticket and what was provided, such as the absence of apple juice and ketchup, and the incorrect type of mashed potatoes. The food service director explained that the dietary software interfaced with the electronic medical record, and any discrepancies should have been discussed with the dietitian. The kitchen supervisor and dietitian were unaware of the discrepancies, and the food service director confirmed that the kitchen staff should have clarified the meal ticket details with the dietitian.
Infection Control Deficiencies in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices for four residents during a recertification survey. For Resident #37, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) did not follow proper hand hygiene protocols during a wound care treatment. The LPN wore multiple layers of gloves, removing one set at a time without performing hand hygiene between changes, which is against the facility's policy. This occurred during a dressing change for a sacral pressure ulcer, where the LPN applied Santyl ointment and a dry dressing without proper hand hygiene. For Resident #61, a Registered Nurse (RN) did not implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions during a dressing change for a pressure ulcer, as they failed to wear a gown. The RN acknowledged the oversight, citing the need to expedite the process due to the resident's upcoming appointment. Additionally, Resident #86's urinary catheter collection bag was observed uncovered and lying on the floor, contrary to the care plan that required it to be covered. A Certified Nurse Aide acknowledged the need to correct this. These deficiencies highlight lapses in infection control practices, including hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment, and catheter care.
