Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Dayspring Of Miami Valley Hlth Care Center & Rehab during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to securely store medications, as a Humalog Pen with insulin was found unattended on a treatment cart, potentially affecting 23 residents with cognitive decline. Interviews with RNs confirmed the inappropriate storage, contrary to the facility's policy requiring locked storage.
A resident with a history of falls and significant cognitive impairment did not have prescribed fall interventions, such as fall mats and visual cues, in place as per their care plan. Observations revealed the absence of these safety measures, and staff interviews confirmed the oversight. The facility's policy on fall management was not followed, leading to non-compliance.
A resident with significant cognitive impairment and on a finger food diet was served a meal that did not match the physician's order. The meal provided was not in sandwich form as required, and the facility's staff, including the Regional Kitchen Manager and Dietician, confirmed the error. The facility's policy requires adherence to physician-prescribed diet orders, but the meal served was inconsistent with these orders.
The facility failed to store foods in a sanitary manner, affecting 124 residents. Observations revealed unlabeled and undated food items in the dry storage area and walk-in cooler, including expired yogurt and uncovered pans of raw pancakes or dough. The facility's policy requires all opened food items to be labeled, dated, covered, and discarded within seven days.
A resident with specific care needs did not receive adequate ADL care, including nail trimming and hair washing, despite being dependent on staff for personal hygiene. Observations showed long, dirty fingernails and greasy, matted hair. The resident expressed a desire for care, and LPNs confirmed the poor hygiene condition, contradicting claims of frequent refusals.
The facility failed to send a resident to an ophthalmologist appointment timely and did not address another resident's dry, scaly skin. One resident continued on Erythromycin Ophthalmic Ointment without a follow-up appointment, while another had untreated dry skin despite a care plan indicating potential skin issues. Observations and interviews confirmed these deficiencies.
A resident with cognitive impairment and a history of falls was involved in an unsafe hoyer transfer due to incorrect positioning of the hoyer pad and lack of required staff assistance. The incident occurred when only one staff member was present, despite the care plan requiring two for transfers. The facility's policy on mechanical lifts was not followed, leading to a deficiency in accident prevention and supervision.
A resident in an LTC facility continued to receive Erythromycin Ophthalmic Ointment for unspecified conjunctivitis without a follow-up ophthalmology appointment. Despite pharmacy recommendations for follow-up, the appointment was canceled and not rescheduled, resulting in prolonged antibiotic use. Staff interviews confirmed the ongoing administration of the ointment since admission.
Medication Storage Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were securely stored in a location inaccessible to residents, which had the potential to affect 23 ambulatory residents with cognitive decline on the Healthcare II unit. During an observation, a Humalog Pen with a covered needle and 220 units of insulin was found unattended on top of a treatment cart in the 1200 A Hall. Interviews with two registered nurses confirmed the presence of the unattended insulin pen. One nurse admitted she thought she had placed it inside the glove box, while the unit manager confirmed that storing an insulin pen on top of the cart or in a glove box is inappropriate. The facility's Medication Storage policy, dated December 2021, mandates that medications and biologicals be securely stored in a locked cabinet, cart, or medication room inaccessible to residents and visitors. This deficiency was investigated under Master Complaint Number OH00160536.
Failure to Implement Fall Interventions for At-Risk Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that fall interventions were in place for a resident with a history of falls and at risk for future falls. Resident #84, who had significant cognitive impairment and required assistance for mobility and transfers, had experienced multiple falls in the past. The care plan for the resident included interventions such as fall mats, visual cues, and other safety measures. However, during observations, it was noted that these interventions were not consistently implemented. Specifically, there were no fall mats or visual cues present in the resident's room, contrary to the care plan and physician orders. Interviews with staff, including a State tested Nursing Aide (STNA) and the Director of Nursing (DON), confirmed the absence of these interventions. The STNA identified that the black rug-like object in the resident's room was not a fall mat and lacked padding. The DON was unsure why the interventions were not in place and suggested that a fall mat might be a hazard due to the resident's occasional independence with mobility. This oversight represents a failure to adhere to the facility's policy on fall and accident management, which mandates the implementation and evaluation of interventions to reduce fall risks.
Failure to Provide Therapeutic Meal as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a therapeutic meal as ordered by the physician for Resident #84, who was on a finger food diet with regular texture. The resident, diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, malnutrition, and dementia, required supervision or assistance with meals due to significant cognitive impairment. On the evening of November 5, 2024, Resident #84 was observed with a meal that did not match the physician's order or the facility's menu spreadsheet for finger food diets. Instead of receiving a pot roast sandwich, the resident was served chopped pot roast with gravy, diced sweet potato, and Brussels sprouts, which did not align with the prescribed diet. Interviews with the Regional Kitchen Manager and the Dietician confirmed the discrepancy between the meal served and the physician's order. The facility's policy mandates that diet orders be followed as prescribed by the physician, yet the meal provided to Resident #84 was not in accordance with these orders. The Regional Kitchen Manager acknowledged the error and attributed it to challenges with new staff reading meal tickets correctly. Despite discussions with nursing aides and staff, no explanation was provided for the deviation from the ordered meal type.
Food Storage Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store foods in a sanitary manner, which had the potential to affect 124 residents who received food from the kitchen. During an observation of the dry storage area, a bag of lemonade mix was found wrapped in plastic wrap without a label or date. Additionally, a half bag of dry macaroni noodles and a half bag of dry pasta noodles were closed with a twist tie, unwrapped, and also lacked labels and dates. Chef #394 confirmed these items were not labeled or dated. In the walk-in cooler, five five-pound containers of yogurt were found with expired dates, and a cart containing five pans of what appeared to be raw pancakes or dough was uncovered, unlabeled, and undated. Chef #394 was unsure of the contents on the pans. Furthermore, pickle chips and loose lettuce leaves were stored in metal bowls covered loosely with plastic wrap, both with use-by dates. The facility's policy requires all opened food items to be labeled, dated, covered, and discarded within seven days.
Failure to Provide Adequate ADL Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) care for a resident with specific needs. The resident, who had diagnoses including contracture of the left hand, monoplegia of the left upper extremity, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, was dependent on staff for personal hygiene and bathing. Despite the care plan indicating total dependence on two staff members for bathing and showering, observations and interviews revealed that the resident had not received proper hygiene care for several weeks. The resident's fingernails were observed to be long and dirty, with a black/brown substance underneath, and her hair was greasy, matted, and unwashed. The resident expressed a desire to be cleaned and reported that staff had not provided the necessary care. Interviews with LPNs confirmed the resident's poor hygiene condition and acknowledged that the resident's hair appeared greasy and matted. The facility's policy on ADL care required staff to ensure residents unable to perform these activities received necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene. However, there was no evidence of the resident refusing care since July 2024, contradicting staff claims of frequent refusals.
Failure to Ensure Timely Medical Appointments and Skin Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure timely ophthalmology follow-up for a resident diagnosed with unspecified conjunctivitis. The resident, who was cognitively intact and required varying levels of assistance for daily activities, was prescribed Erythromycin Ophthalmic Ointment to be applied to the left eye four times daily. Despite a physician's recommendation for a follow-up with an ophthalmologist to determine the stop date for the medication, the appointment scheduled for late June was canceled, and no subsequent appointment was arranged. Interviews with facility staff confirmed the oversight, with no clear understanding of who canceled the appointment or why it was not rescheduled. Additionally, the facility did not adequately address the skin care needs of another resident who had dry, scaly skin on the lower extremities. Despite the resident's cognitive intactness and a care plan indicating the potential for skin impairment, there were no physician orders for treating the dry skin, nor were there any documented skin assessments noting the condition. Observations confirmed the resident's skin condition, and interviews revealed that the resident had not received any lotion application, despite complaints of discomfort and itching. The facility's policy required monthly skin assessments, which were not effectively implemented in this case.
Deficiency in Safe Hoyer Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe hoyer transfer for a resident, leading to a deficiency in accident prevention and supervision. The resident, who had significant cognitive impairment and required extensive assistance for mobility and transfers, was involved in an incident where the hoyer pad was incorrectly positioned. This error caused the State tested Nursing Aide (STNA) to lower the resident to the floor to prevent slipping off the hoyer pad. The resident was at risk for falls due to a history of multiple falls, osteoporosis, cognitive decline, and poor safety awareness. During the incident, only one staff member was present, contrary to the care plan that required two staff members for transfers. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) confirmed that the resident was never hooked up to the hoyer machine, and the investigation was misworded. However, the STNA verified that the resident was hooked up to the hoyer lift machine and went to the ground. The facility's policy required mechanical lifts to be used with the appropriate number of staff as determined by the care plan assessment, which was not adhered to in this case.
Prolonged Antibiotic Use Without Follow-Up
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's drug regimen was free from unnecessary antibiotics, specifically affecting a resident who was prescribed Erythromycin Ophthalmic Ointment for an unspecified conjunctivitis. The resident, who was cognitively intact and required varying levels of assistance with daily activities, was admitted with a prescription for the antibiotic ointment. Despite the absence of a culture to confirm the infection, the resident continued to receive the antibiotic treatment for an extended period without proper follow-up. The physician's orders initially prescribed the antibiotic ointment on a specific date, and subsequent pharmacy reviews recommended continuation until a follow-up with an ophthalmologist. However, the resident's appointment with the ophthalmologist was canceled, and no rescheduling occurred, leading to the prolonged use of the antibiotic. Interviews with facility staff confirmed the ongoing administration of the ointment and the lack of follow-up appointments, highlighting a lapse in ensuring appropriate and timely medical care for the resident.
