Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Bel Air Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain resident funds exceeding $100 in interest-bearing accounts, affecting eight residents. Despite a policy requiring funds over $50 to be in such accounts, the funds were kept in non-interest-bearing checking accounts. This was confirmed by the Social Service Designee/Multi-Media Specialist.
The facility failed to maintain the upper level shower, affecting residents' ability to receive showers per their preferences. A resident with multiple sclerosis received only one shower in 30 days, while another with dementia received five. The facility deemed the repair quote too expensive, opting for residents to use a lower level shower. Additionally, two residents reported their rooms and bathrooms were too cold, with a confirmed temperature of 69.9°F. These issues indicate a lapse in maintaining a safe and comfortable environment.
The facility failed to provide adequate activities for residents, particularly on weekends and evenings, affecting several residents. Activity records from November 2024 to March 2025 showed many days without documented group activities, especially on weekends and holidays. The activities staff worked only weekdays until 4:00 P.M., with no coverage for evenings or weekends. Residents confirmed the lack of activities during these times, and the facility lacked a policy for the activities program.
The facility failed to provide the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) and Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) at least two days in advance for three residents. A resident with multiple diagnoses signed the notices on the last covered day, while another signed a day after. An interview with the Social Services Designee revealed a lack of awareness about the requirement to provide these notices in advance.
The facility did not ensure the Activities Director was qualified, affecting all 32 residents. The personnel file lacked evidence of necessary training or certification. The Activities Director was new and still learning the role, with plans to complete training, as confirmed by interviews with the Activities Director, HR Director, and DON.
Failure to Maintain Resident Funds in Interest-Bearing Accounts
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that resident funds exceeding $100 were maintained in an interest-bearing account, affecting eight residents out of ten reviewed for personal funds. The facility's policy, dated June 1, 2022, required that if a resident's balance exceeded $50, those funds must be placed in an interest-bearing account. However, the review of personal fund account statements for January and February 2025 for the affected residents showed balances ranging from $126.00 to $1,193.96, with no evidence of interest earned. An interview with the Social Service Designee/Multi-Media Specialist confirmed that the residents' funds were kept in a simple checking account that did not bear interest. This oversight was contrary to the facility's policy and affected the financial management of the residents' personal funds. The facility census at the time was 32, and the deficiency was identified during a review of the facility's management of personal funds for residents.
Facility Fails to Maintain Shower and Room Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the upper level shower in proper working order, affecting the ability of residents to receive showers according to their preferences. Resident #5, who has diagnoses including age-related osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and multiple sclerosis, expressed that it was very important to choose between different types of baths. However, due to the broken shower, Resident #5 received only one shower in the past 30 days. The resident reported that the facility's solution was to use the lower level shower, which was inconvenient and uncomfortable. Similarly, Resident #6, with diagnoses including cerebral infarction and dementia, also faced difficulties due to the non-functional upper level shower, receiving only five showers in the past 30 days. The facility had received a quote for replacing the shower, but it was deemed too expensive, and no alternative solution was implemented. Additionally, the facility failed to maintain comfortable temperatures in the bathrooms of Residents #2 and #14. Resident #2, with diagnoses including spinal stenosis and congestive heart failure, reported that the room and bathroom temperatures were too cold. Similarly, Resident #14, with multiple diagnoses including tongue cancer and heart failure, also reported discomfort due to cold temperatures. An observation confirmed that the shared bathroom for these residents was indeed cold, with a temperature reading of 69.9 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility's policy and resident handbook emphasize providing a safe, comfortable, and homelike environment, including maintaining proper room temperatures and functional facilities. However, the failure to address the broken shower and cold room temperatures indicates a lapse in maintaining these standards, affecting the residents' quality of life and comfort.
Inadequate Resident Activities on Weekends and Evenings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate activities to meet the needs and preferences of residents, particularly on weekends and evenings. This deficiency affected five residents out of six reviewed for activities, with a facility census of 32. The review of activity participation records from November 2024 through March 2025 revealed numerous days without documented group activities, especially on weekends and holidays. Additionally, the posted activities calendars showed no scheduled activities after 4:00 P.M. daily, no activities on Sundays, and limited activities on Saturdays. Interviews with residents confirmed the lack of activities during these times, with some residents expressing dissatisfaction with the limited options available. The facility's activities staff were scheduled to work only Monday through Friday from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., with no staff available for evenings or weekends. Interviews with the Activities Assistant and Activities Director confirmed the absence of activities after 4:00 P.M. and on weekends. The Activities Director acknowledged the deficiency and noted that she had recently assumed her role. The facility was unable to provide a policy for the activities program, further highlighting the lack of structured planning and oversight in meeting residents' activity needs.
Failure to Provide Timely Medicare/Medicaid Notices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) and Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) at least two days in advance for three residents. Resident #28, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, night terrors, atrial fibrillation, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, was discharged without receiving the required notices in advance, as they were signed on the last covered day. Similarly, Resident #91, with conditions including spinal stenosis, prostate cancer, hyperlipidemia, dementia, schizoaffective disorder, and hypertension, signed the notices a day after the last covered day. Resident #92, suffering from cerebral infarction, chronic kidney disease stage four, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, also signed the notices on the last covered day. An interview with the Social Services Designee revealed that she was unaware of the requirement to provide these notices two days in advance, as she had only been in her position for one week.
Unqualified Activities Director in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Activities Director was qualified for the position, which had the potential to affect all 32 residents residing in the facility. A review of the personnel file for the Activities Director revealed no evidence of training or certification required for the role. Although the Activities Director had registered for an upcoming training course, this was not completed at the time of the survey. Interviews with the Activities Director, HR Director, and DON confirmed that the Activities Director was new to the position and lacked formal training or education to fulfill the role effectively.
