Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Adams Lane Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with multiple medical and mental health conditions, who was cognitively intact, expressed ongoing interest in discharge and took independent steps to secure housing and manage finances. Despite this, facility staff did not provide or document any assistance with the discharge process, and the DON and Administrator confirmed the lack of support and documentation, contrary to facility policy.
A resident with multiple health conditions, including impaired mobility and cognition, was not provided with a bedside chair or accessible call light, hindering his ability to watch TV and access personal belongings independently. Staff confirmed the facility's policy of not providing bedside chairs, leaving families responsible for them.
The facility failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment in shared bathrooms, affecting several residents. A resident with multiple health conditions found the shared bathroom cluttered with unlabeled personal items, leading her to use her toiletries at her bedside. Another resident shared a bathroom with three others, where unlabeled items and soiled clothing were left on the floor, prompting her to keep her toiletries in her room. Additionally, a third resident's bathroom had a strong odor and dirty linen on the floor, which was not promptly addressed by staff.
A facility failed to accurately complete the PASSAR for a resident, omitting diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder, depression, and anxiety. The resident was admitted with multiple conditions, including Ogilvie syndrome and required various levels of assistance for daily activities. The PASSAR only identified a mood disorder, and this oversight was confirmed by a social worker designee.
A facility failed to create a care plan for a resident receiving diuretic medication. The resident, who is cognitively intact, has multiple health conditions including heart failure and was prescribed furosemide. However, there was no care plan for this medication, as confirmed by an LPN during an interview.
A medication cart was found unlocked and unattended in a hallway, posing a risk to a cognitively impaired and independently mobile resident. A RN confirmed leaving the cart unsecured, violating the facility's policy requiring all drug compartments to be locked when not in use.
A facility failed to maintain infection control with urinary catheters for a resident with multiple health conditions. The resident's catheter tubing was repeatedly observed on the floor, and the catheter bag was placed in a wash basin. Nursing staff confirmed these observations, and red-colored sediment was noted in the tubing, indicating potential contamination.
The facility failed to provide timely written bed hold notices to residents or their representatives before hospital transfers, affecting three residents. One resident with multiple health issues was transferred due to low oxygen levels, and the notice was signed post-return. Another resident requested hospital transfer for pain, with the notice signed after return. A third resident with respiratory and heart conditions was transferred, and the notice was delayed until after return. The DON and ADON confirmed these delays, indicating a systemic issue.
Failure to Provide Medically Necessary Social Services for Discharge Planning
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide medically necessary social services to assist a resident with the discharge process. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had multiple complex medical diagnoses including congestive heart failure, chronic respiratory failure, atrial fibrillation, and several mental health conditions, expressed ongoing interest in discharging from the facility. Care conference notes documented her uncertainty about discharge and her request to be asked about it at each meeting. The care plan indicated that staff would assist the resident and her family with information and resources related to discharge decisions. However, a review of the medical and discharge records over a one-month period revealed no documentation of assistance provided to the resident regarding her discharge planning, such as support with selling her house, visiting apartments, or purchasing a new home. Interviews with the social services staff confirmed that while the resident's discharge status was discussed quarterly, no further assistance or follow-up was provided even after the resident began actively seeking housing options and made appointments to view apartments. The resident reported that she independently managed all aspects of her potential discharge, including financial considerations and housing searches, without support from facility staff. The DON and Administrator acknowledged the lack of documentation and assistance provided, despite being aware of the resident's active efforts to discharge. The facility's policy required documentation of discharge planning and communication, which was not followed in this case.
Failure to Accommodate Resident's Needs and Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to reasonably accommodate the needs and preferences of a resident, identified as Resident #26, by not providing essential items within reach. During an interview and observation, it was noted that the resident preferred to sit in a chair to watch television and access personal belongings independently. However, there was no bedside chair or nightstand available, and personal belongings were stored on the floor in shopping bags, out of reach. Additionally, the call light was observed hanging off the right side of the bed, also out of reach, which the resident was unable to retrieve without assistance. Interviews with staff confirmed the lack of accommodation for the resident's needs. A Licensed Practical Nurse acknowledged the call light was out of reach, and another staff member stated that the facility did not provide bedside chairs, leaving it to families to supply them. The resident's care plans indicated a need for extensive assistance due to impaired mobility and cognition, yet the facility did not ensure the resident's environment supported his independence in leisure activities, such as watching TV, which he enjoyed.
Failure to Maintain Clean and Homelike Environment in Shared Bathrooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for several residents, as evidenced by the conditions observed in shared bathrooms. Resident #40, who has multiple health conditions including cerebral infarction and chronic respiratory failure, shared a bathroom with two other residents. The bathroom sink was cluttered with unlabeled personal items such as mouthwash, shampoo, and razors, making it difficult for Resident #40 to use her personal toiletries there. She confirmed that she kept her toiletries at her bedside due to the unclean state of the bathroom. A Certified Nurse Aide also confirmed the issue of unlabeled items and the shared use of the bathroom. Similarly, Resident #75, who suffers from chronic kidney disease and other ailments, shared a bathroom with three other residents. The bathroom was observed to have unlabeled personal items on the sink and soiled clothing on the floor, which Resident #75 found disrespectful and unclean. She also kept her toiletries in her room due to the bathroom's condition. An LPN confirmed the presence of soiled clothing and unlabeled items. Additionally, Resident #33's bathroom had a strong odor and dirty linen on the floor, which was confirmed by another LPN who noted that a towel had been left on the floor to soak up urine but was not removed afterward.
Inaccurate PASSAR Completion for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the pre-admission screening and resident review (PASSAR) was accurately completed for a resident, affecting one of two residents reviewed for PASSAR accuracy. The resident in question was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including Ogilvie syndrome, schizoaffective disorder, depression, and anxiety. Despite these conditions, the PASSAR dated 07/28/24 only identified a mood disorder under the indication of serious mental illness, omitting the specific diagnoses of schizoaffective disorder, depression, and anxiety. This oversight was confirmed during an interview with the Social Worker Designee, who acknowledged that the resident's mental health conditions were not included in the PASSAR and that a new assessment had not been completed.
Lack of Care Plan for Diuretic Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident receiving diuretic medication. Resident #60, who is cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, was admitted with multiple diagnoses including malignant neoplasm, diabetes, chronic respiratory failure, morbid obesity, heart failure, and hypertension. The resident's medical record indicated an order for furosemide, a diuretic, to be administered for heart failure. However, upon review, it was found that there was no care plan addressing the use of this diuretic medication. This oversight was confirmed during an interview with the MDS nurse, LPN #350, who acknowledged the absence of a diuretic medication care plan in the resident's plan of care.
Medication Security Breach
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were securely locked against unauthorized access, as observed during a survey. A medication cart was found unlocked and unattended in the hallway outside a resident's room. The resident in question was identified as cognitively impaired and independently mobile, which increased the risk of unauthorized access to medications. A Registered Nurse confirmed during an interview that she had left the medication cart unlocked and unattended. The facility's Medication Storage policy, which was reviewed, mandates that compartments containing drugs and biologicals must be locked when not in use, and carts used to transport these items should not be left unattended if open or accessible to others.
Infection Control Deficiency with Urinary Catheters
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices concerning urinary catheters, affecting one resident. The resident, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including metabolic encephalopathy, morbid obesity, heart failure, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, major depression, chronic kidney disease, and anxiety, had intact cognition and required varying levels of assistance for daily activities. Observations revealed that the resident's urinary catheter tubing was repeatedly found on the floor, and the catheter bag was placed in a wash basin. These observations were confirmed by interviews with nursing staff, including a registered nurse and licensed practical nurses, who verified the improper placement of the catheter tubing on the floor. Additionally, red-colored sediment was noted in the tubing, indicating potential contamination or infection risk.
Failure to Provide Timely Bed Hold Notices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide written bed hold notices to residents or their representatives prior to hospital transfers, affecting three residents. Resident #71, who had multiple diagnoses including diabetes and chronic kidney disease, was transferred to the hospital due to low oxygen levels and returned to the facility without a signed bed hold notice until after readmission. The Director of Nursing confirmed the notice was signed post-return. Resident #61, with conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and schizophrenia, requested hospital transfer due to pain and swelling. The bed hold notice was signed after the resident's return, contrary to policy. Similarly, Resident #106, with diagnoses including respiratory failure and heart failure, was transferred to the hospital, and the bed hold notice was signed upon return. The Assistant Director of Nursing verified the delay in signing the notice, indicating a systemic issue in adhering to the facility's bed hold policy.
