Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Chateau At Brooklyn Rehab And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A cognitively intact resident was not provided with quarterly statements of their personal fund account, as required by facility policy. The resident was unaware of their account and its balance, while the facility sent statements to the resident's representative instead. This oversight occurred despite the resident's ability to manage their financial affairs.
The facility failed to create comprehensive care plans for two residents, resulting in deficiencies in pain management and respiratory care. A resident with chronic pain had no care plan despite being prescribed pain medication, and another resident receiving oxygen therapy lacked a care plan for its use. Nursing staff acknowledged these oversights, citing issues with care plan responsibilities and staffing.
An LPN in an LTC facility diverted narcotic medications intended for two residents, falsifying records to cover up the theft. The LPN was caught on camera removing the medications and later admitted to the theft, leading to their termination and arrest. Despite the misappropriation, the residents did not report any missed doses or pain.
A facility failed to report the diversion of narcotic medication intended for a resident to the Department of Health. An LPN diverted 30 Oxycodone tablets, but the incident was not reported as required by policy. The discrepancy was discovered during an investigation, and the LPN was arrested for Petit Larceny. The facility's misunderstanding of reporting requirements led to this oversight.
An LPN in a long-term care facility diverted narcotics intended for two residents by documenting receiving fewer tablets than delivered. The LPN took the medications for personal use, as confirmed by video footage and admission. The facility's policies on controlled substances were not followed, leading to the misappropriation of medications.
A facility failed to ensure proper handling and documentation of controlled substances, leading to narcotic diversion by an LPN. The LPN documented receiving fewer narcotics than delivered, which was not verified by the supervisor. Video footage confirmed the LPN diverted medications for personal use, affecting two residents prescribed Percocet and Oxycodone.
Failure to Provide Resident with Financial Account Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to uphold a resident's right to manage their financial affairs, as evidenced during a recertification survey. Specifically, the facility did not provide a cognitively intact resident with quarterly statements of their personal fund account, which is a requirement according to the facility's policy. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including Hypertension, Multiple Sclerosis, and Bipolar Disorder, was not aware of the existence of their account or its balance, despite having a Brief Interview for Mental Status score indicating cognitive intactness. Interviews with the resident revealed that they had not received any bank statements and were unaware of their account status. The Medicaid/Finance Coordinator confirmed that the resident had an account with a balance of $5357.28, but the quarterly statements were sent to the resident's representative instead. The coordinator stated that they were informed that the representative was responsible for all matters concerning the resident, which led to the resident not being informed about their account, despite their cognitive capability to manage their financial affairs.
Deficiencies in Pain and Respiratory Care Planning
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for two residents, leading to deficiencies in pain management and respiratory care. Resident #6, who had diagnoses including heart failure and hemiplegia, was prescribed Gabapentin and Acetaminophen for neuropathic pain. Despite these prescriptions and documented pain assessments, there was no comprehensive care plan addressing the resident's chronic pain. Interviews with nursing staff revealed that the responsibility for creating care plans lay with the Registered Nurse supervisors, but a pain care plan for Resident #6 was not created, which was acknowledged as an oversight by the nursing management. Similarly, Resident #22, who was readmitted with conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure, was receiving oxygen therapy as per a physician's order. However, there was no care plan in place to address the use of oxygen therapy. The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed the absence of a care plan for oxygen use, attributing it to the lack of a regular Registered Nurse Supervisor on the unit. This deficiency was identified during the recertification survey, highlighting lapses in the facility's care planning process.
Misappropriation of Narcotic Medications by LPN
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect residents from the misappropriation of their medications, specifically involving two residents who were prescribed narcotic pain medications. An LPN diverted narcotic medications intended for these residents, hiding them in their personal bag and removing them from the facility. This was discovered during a routine narcotic count when discrepancies were noted in the narcotic log sheets, and further investigation revealed that the LPN had falsified records to cover up the theft. Resident #232, who was cognitively intact and had a history of malignant neoplasms and joint pain, was prescribed Percocet for pain management. The facility's narcotic logbook indicated that 60 tablets were delivered, but the LPN documented receiving only 30 tablets. A subsequent investigation, including a review of surveillance footage, showed the LPN removing the medication from the narcotic box and placing it in their personal bag. Despite the theft, Resident #232 did not report any pain or missed doses, and the facility took immediate steps to replace the missing medication. Similarly, Resident #334, who was also cognitively intact and had a history of polyarthritis and osteoarthritis, was prescribed Oxycodone. The narcotic logbook showed a delivery of 60 tablets, but the LPN again documented receiving only 30 tablets. The facility's investigation confirmed the LPN's involvement in the misappropriation of these medications as well. The LPN was observed on camera taking the medications and later admitted to the theft, leading to their termination and arrest. The facility reported the incident to the appropriate authorities, including the police and regulatory bodies.
Failure to Report Narcotic Diversion to Health Authorities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report the misappropriation of narcotic medication intended for a resident to the Department of Health, as required by their policy. During an investigation into missing narcotics, it was discovered that a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) had diverted 30 Oxycodone 10 mg tablets intended for a resident diagnosed with Polyarthritis, Osteoarthritis of the left knee, and Neuropathy. The facility's policy mandates that any confirmed abuse or misappropriation be reported to the local police, ombudsman, and state licensing certification agency within 24 hours, and to the state survey and certification agency within five days. However, the diversion of medication for this resident was not reported to the Department of Health, despite being documented in the Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement report. The investigation revealed discrepancies in the narcotic log sheets, where the LPN documented receiving only 30 tablets instead of the 60 tablets delivered. The incident was reported to the New York City Police Department, resulting in the arrest of the LPN for Petit Larceny. Interviews with the Director of Nursing Services and the facility Administrator indicated that the initial report to the Department of Health only included information about another resident, and the additional diversion was not reported due to a misunderstanding of the Department's notification. This oversight led to the failure to report the misappropriation of medication for the second resident, as required by state regulations.
Narcotic Diversion by LPN in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that services provided met professional standards of quality, as evidenced by the diversion of narcotics by a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) intended for two residents. The LPN documented receiving fewer narcotics than were actually delivered, which led to the misappropriation of medications. Specifically, the LPN documented receiving 30 Percocet tablets instead of 60 for one resident and 30 Oxycodone tablets instead of 60 for another resident. This discrepancy was not initially detected due to a lack of monitoring by the Registered Nursing Supervisor who delivered the medications. The investigation revealed that the LPN took the medications for personal use, as confirmed by video footage and the LPN's admission. The footage showed the LPN removing medications from the locked box on the medication cart and placing them in a personal bag. The LPN initially denied any knowledge of the missing medications but later admitted to taking them. The facility's Director of Nursing and Administrator conducted a thorough search and reviewed camera footage, which confirmed the LPN's actions. The incident was reported to the police, and the LPN was arrested and terminated. The facility's policies on controlled substances were not adequately followed, as the LPN was able to document incorrect quantities without verification. The Registered Nursing Supervisor did not ensure that the narcotics were properly logged and secured, allowing the LPN to divert the medications. This failure in oversight and adherence to policy led to the misappropriation of narcotics, affecting the care of the residents involved.
Narcotic Diversion Due to Inadequate Pharmaceutical Controls
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper pharmaceutical services, specifically in the handling and documentation of controlled substances, leading to the diversion of narcotics by a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). The LPN documented receiving fewer narcotics than were actually delivered, which was not verified by the Registered Nursing Supervisor who delivered the medications. This discrepancy was not immediately identified due to a lack of proper oversight and verification procedures. The incident involved two residents who were prescribed controlled substances, including Percocet and Oxycodone. The LPN documented receiving only half of the narcotics delivered for these residents, which was later discovered to be false. The facility's investigation revealed that the LPN had diverted the medications for personal use, as confirmed by video footage showing the LPN removing narcotics from the medication cart and placing them in a personal bag. The facility's failure to notify the pharmacy of the narcotic diversion and the absence of a robust system to track and reconcile controlled substances contributed to the deficiency. The Director of Nursing Services and other staff members were unaware of the missing narcotics until a thorough investigation was conducted, which included reviewing video footage and cross-referencing narcotic sheets with medication orders.
