Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Concord Care And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to maintain resident dignity by allowing a resident's name to be visibly marked on their clothing. The resident, who was severely cognitively impaired and required assistance with dressing, was observed wearing socks with their name visible. This was confirmed by an LPN, highlighting a breach of the facility's dignity policy.
A resident with multiple medical conditions was observed extinguishing a cigarette on the ground and placing the butt between their wheelchair cushion and the wheelchair, contrary to the facility's smoking policy. The resident confirmed this practice, and an LPN verified the findings.
The facility failed to supervise residents during smoking, as required by their policy. Observations showed residents smoking unsupervised and possessing smoking materials, contrary to the facility's rules. Staff interviews confirmed the lack of supervision and improper storage of smoking articles.
A resident with diabetes, hypertension, and seizures was administered medications incorrectly, resulting in a 6.67% error rate. An LPN gave a blood pressure medication despite the resident's low systolic reading, and the wrong type of multivitamin was administered. The facility's policy requires adherence to physician orders, which was not followed.
An LPN failed to maintain proper hand hygiene during medication administration, affecting two residents. The LPN was observed handling medication with bare hands without sanitizing them, contrary to the facility's infection control policy, which mandates handwashing to prevent infection transmission.
Failure to Maintain Resident Dignity
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to uphold the dignity and respect of its residents by not ensuring that residents' names were not visible on their clothing. This deficiency was identified during a review of Resident #31, who was observed sitting in a wheelchair in the common area wearing yellow non-slip socks visibly marked with their first name. Resident #31, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including rhabdomyolysis, heart disease, and severe cognitive impairment, required substantial assistance with dressing. The facility's policy on dignity, revised in February 2021, mandates that each resident should be cared for in a manner that promotes their well-being and self-esteem. However, the visible marking of the resident's name on their clothing was verified by an LPN, indicating a failure to adhere to this policy.
Failure to Ensure Safe Smoking Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure safe smoking practices for a resident, leading to a deficiency. Resident #41, who has a history of cardiomyopathy, hypoxemia, and other medical conditions, was observed extinguishing a cigarette on the ground and placing the butt between the cushion of their wheelchair and the wheelchair itself. This practice was confirmed by the resident during an interview, where they stated that they place the used cigarette butts in approved receptacles only when ready to return inside the facility. An LPN verified these findings. The facility's smoking policy, which was undated, requires residents to extinguish cigarettes in a designated container, indicating a failure to adhere to this policy.
Failure to Supervise Residents During Smoking
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate supervision for residents while smoking and did not maintain smoking materials in a safe manner. Observations revealed multiple instances where residents were smoking unsupervised in the designated smoking area. For example, Resident #11 was observed smoking alone outside, and Resident #37 had a pack of cigarettes on his bed while resting in his wheelchair. Interviews with staff confirmed that residents were often left unsupervised during smoking times, and smoking materials were not properly secured as per the facility's policy. The facility's smoking policy mandates that all smoking articles be stored in a locked area and that residents be supervised while smoking. However, observations and interviews indicated that this policy was not being followed. Residents were found with smoking materials on their person or in their rooms, and staff members were not consistently present to supervise smoking activities. Additionally, residents were not wearing smoking aprons as required, further indicating a lack of adherence to safety protocols. This deficiency was investigated under Complaint Number OH00153750.
Medication Administration Errors Exceed Acceptable Rate
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer medications as ordered by the physician, resulting in a medication error rate of 6.67%, which exceeds the acceptable threshold of 5%. This deficiency was identified during an observation of medication administration for a resident diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type II, hypertension, and seizures. The resident was prescribed a multivitamin with minerals and a combined blood pressure medication, valsartan-hydrochlorothiazide, with specific instructions to hold the medication if the systolic blood pressure was below 110 mmHg. During the observation, an LPN administered the multivitamin and the blood pressure medication despite the resident's systolic blood pressure being 97 mmHg, which was below the threshold. The LPN confirmed the error upon interview, acknowledging that the blood pressure medication should have been withheld. Additionally, the Director of Nursing noted that the resident should have received a multivitamin with minerals, not just a multivitamin. The facility's policy mandates that medications must be administered according to the physician's orders, which was not adhered to in this instance.
Failure in Hand Hygiene During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene during medication administration, affecting two residents. During an observation, an LPN was seen administering medication to a resident by popping a gabapentin tablet into his bare hand and then placing it into a medication cup without sanitizing his hands. Similarly, the LPN handled a vitamin C tablet directly with his bare hand for another resident without hand sanitization. The LPN confirmed in an interview that he did not wash his hands throughout the medication administration process. The facility's infection control policy requires staff to identify infection transmission risks and implement relevant precautions, including handwashing during medication administration.
