Failure to Notify Ombudsman of Resident Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the state Ombudsman of resident discharges or transfers as required, affecting three residents. Resident #99, who had diagnoses including infectious gastroenteritis, cerebral infarction, and a femur fracture, was transferred to a local hospital on two occasions. However, there was no evidence that the Ombudsman was notified of these transfers. Similarly, Resident #25, with conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and congestive heart failure, was transferred to the hospital, but the Ombudsman was not informed. Interviews with the Administrator confirmed the lack of notification for these transfers. Additionally, Resident #76, who had multiple diagnoses including basal cell carcinoma, respiratory failure, and kidney failure, was transferred to the hospital three times. The facility did not notify the Ombudsman of these transfers either. The Administrator acknowledged that the Ombudsman was not notified in writing for any of these instances, indicating a systemic issue in the facility's process for notifying the Ombudsman of resident transfers or discharges.
Deficiencies in Dementia and Depression Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for two residents with dementia and depression, leading to deficiencies in addressing their specific needs. Resident #4, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic polyneuropathy, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and unspecified dementia, was admitted on an unspecified date. Despite being assessed to require substantial assistance with daily activities and having non-Alzheimer's dementia, depression, and bipolar disorder, there was no care plan in place for dementia care. This was confirmed by Licensed Social Worker (LSW) #30, who acknowledged the absence of a dementia care plan for Resident #4. Similarly, Resident #47, diagnosed with vascular dementia, adult failure to thrive, major depressive disorder, and unspecified psychosis, was admitted on an unspecified date. The resident required total dependence for daily activities and was assessed to have depression. However, the care plan revised on February 28, 2023, did not specify symptoms or behaviors related to the resident's depression. A Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ 9) indicated that Resident #47 experienced symptoms of feeling tired or having little energy, which were not reflected in the care plan. This oversight was verified by LSW #30, confirming the deficiency in addressing the resident's specific symptoms of depression.
