Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Batavia Nursing Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with low back pain and chronic pain had a physician order for a lidocaine 4% patch to the sacrum on a 12-hour on/12-hour off schedule. Staff transcribed the order to apply the patch in the morning and remove it at night, but an LPN signed the MAR as if the patch had been removed even though the next morning an RN found the prior day's patch still on the resident and removed it before applying a new one. The LPN said she did not remember seeing the patch, and the DON and Administrator stated staff were expected to follow the order and remove patches accordingly.
A resident with low back pain and chronic pain had a scheduled lidocaine patch order for the sacrum. The MAR was signed by an LPN to show the patch had been removed, but an RN later found the patch still in place and removed it before applying a new one. The LPN stated she did not remember seeing the patch, and the DON confirmed staff were not to sign the MAR unless the order had been completed.
A facility failed to maintain proper care for a resident's PICC line, lacking physician orders for dressing changes and not adhering to the required weekly dressing change schedule. The resident, in a persistent vegetative state and dependent on a ventilator, also did not receive the prescribed intravenous flushes consistently, with nine instances of missed flushes in March. An LPN, not IV certified, was responsible for the resident's care, and the DON confirmed these deficiencies.
The facility failed to maintain infection control practices on Hall K, where an STNA improperly handled dirty linens without gloves and allowed them to touch her clothing. Additionally, during incontinence care for a resident at risk for infection, an STNA did not change gloves or sanitize hands after cleansing the resident, contrary to facility policies. Interviews with staff confirmed these actions were against expected procedures.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a tracheostomy did not have their dignity maintained during care. The respiratory therapist left the door open while providing tracheostomy care, which was against the facility's policy on privacy. Interviews with staff confirmed the door should have been closed to ensure the resident's dignity.
Failure to Remove Lidocaine Patch Per Order
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were administered per physician orders for one resident. The resident had diagnoses including low back pain and chronic pain, and the MDS indicated intact cognition with a BIMS score of 15 and a scheduled pain medication regimen. The physician ordered a lidocaine 4% external patch to the sacrum once daily for pain/discomfort, with the patch to be on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours, and removed per schedule. Review of the MAR showed the order was transcribed with instructions to apply the patch at 9:00 A.M. and remove it at 9:00 P.M. On one evening, an LPN initialed the MAR to indicate the patch had been removed, but the next morning an RN observed the resident still had the prior day's lidocaine patch on the sacrum. The RN removed the dated patch and applied a new one, and later the RN confirmed the patch should have been removed during the night shift. The LPN stated she did not remember seeing the patch even though she signed the MAR to indicate removal, and confirmed the patch was to be applied by day shift and removed by night shift. The DON and Administrator stated staff were expected to follow physician orders and remove patches accordingly.
Inaccurate MAR Documentation for Lidocaine Patch Removal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure accurate medical records for a resident with low back pain and chronic pain who had intact cognition and a scheduled pain medication regimen. The physician ordered a lidocaine 4% external patch to the sacrum once daily for pain/discomfort, with the patch to be on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours. The MAR transcribed the order with instructions to apply the patch at 9:00 A.M. and remove it at 9:00 P.M., and LPN #8 initialed the MAR on 03/09/26 at 9:00 P.M. to indicate the patch had been removed. During observation the next morning, RN #7 found a lidocaine patch still on the resident's sacrum dated 03/09/26 and removed it before applying a new patch dated 03/10/26. RN #7 stated the patch should have been removed during the night shift on 03/09/26. LPN #8 later stated she was assigned to the resident, did not remember seeing the patch, and had signed the MAR to indicate she removed it. The DON confirmed staff were expected to never sign the MAR if an order had not been completed.
Failure to Maintain PICC Line Care for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide care for a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) consistent with standards of practice for Resident #59. The resident, who was in a persistent vegetative state and dependent on a ventilator, had a PICC line that required regular maintenance. However, there was no physician order for changing the PICC line dressings, and the dressing had not been changed weekly as required. An observation revealed that the dressing was last changed on 03/07/25, which was beyond the seven-day requirement. Additionally, the facility's policy required dressing changes every five to seven days, or if the dressing was compromised, which was not adhered to in this case. Furthermore, the facility failed to ensure that the PICC line was flushed as ordered. The physician's orders required a Sodium Chloride Solution flush of 10 milliliters intravenously every shift, but the medication administration record showed that there were nine instances in March 2025 where the flush was not signed off as completed. An LPN, who was not IV certified, was responsible for the care of two residents with IV lines, including Resident #59. The Director of Nursing confirmed the lack of physician orders for the dressing change and the missed flushes, indicating a lapse in following the prescribed care plan for the resident.
Infection Control and Hand Hygiene Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices in handling dirty linens on Hall K. An observation revealed that a State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) threw dirty linens on the floor and later picked them up without wearing gloves, placing them into a bag. The STNA was also seen carrying unbagged dirty linens down the hallway, allowing them to touch her clothing. Interviews with the STNA and various nursing staff, including the Registered Nurse Clinical Manager (RN CM), Licensed Practical Nurse Clinical Manager (LPN CM), and the Director of Nursing (DON), confirmed that the linens should have been bagged immediately, gloves should have been worn, and the linens should not have touched the staff's clothing. The facility lacked a specific policy on the proper disposal of linens, although infection control was reportedly discussed monthly during in-services. In a separate incident, the facility failed to adhere to proper hand hygiene during incontinence care for a resident with a history of chronic disease and urinary tract infection risk. During an observation, an STNA performed incontinence care without removing contaminated gloves or sanitizing hands before placing a clean incontinence brief on the resident. The STNA acknowledged the failure to change gloves and sanitize hands after cleansing the resident's genitals and before handling clean items. The DON and Administrator both stated that staff should change gloves and perform hand hygiene when transitioning from dirty to clean tasks, especially for residents on enhanced barrier precautions. The facility's policies on infection prevention and control, as well as hand hygiene, were reviewed. The policies indicated that staff should use standard precautions, such as wearing gloves and performing hand hygiene before and after resident contact, and after contact with contaminated surfaces. However, the observed practices did not align with these policies, leading to deficiencies in infection control and hand hygiene practices.
Failure to Maintain Resident Dignity During Tracheostomy Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the dignity of a resident during tracheostomy care. The resident, who was admitted on 01/25/23, had a medical history of traumatic brain injury, chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, and a tracheostomy. The resident was assessed to have severe cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living. During an observation on 09/24/24, a respiratory therapist provided tracheostomy care to the resident with the door to the room left open, compromising the resident's privacy. Interviews with the respiratory therapist, the Director of Nursing, and the Administrator confirmed that the door should have been closed during the tracheostomy care to ensure the resident's dignity. The facility's policy on residents' rights emphasizes the importance of privacy during medical examinations and personal care. This incident was investigated under Complaint Number OH00157584 and represents a deficiency in maintaining the resident's right to a dignified existence.
