Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mohun Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors observed improper food storage and sanitation practices, including cold foods held above safe temperatures, visible mold-like substances in kitchen equipment, unlabeled and undated food items, and food stored directly on the floor. Dietary staff confirmed these issues and acknowledged improper temperature control and storage procedures.
The facility failed to ensure that residents or their representatives were informed of and consented to donations made from their trust accounts. Multiple withdrawals labeled as donations were authorized by staff rather than the residents, including for individuals with cognitive impairments. Some residents were unaware of these transactions, and staff could not provide clear procedures or documentation regarding the donation process.
The facility did not develop or implement care plans for several residents with identified needs, including antibiotic use, pain management, bladder retraining, and lab work refusals. Staff and leadership confirmed that care plans addressing these issues were missing from the medical records, despite physician orders and assessments indicating the necessity for such plans.
The facility did not establish or document clear parameters for PRN pain medication administration for two residents, resulting in pain medications being given without guidance for pain levels, including when no pain was reported. Additionally, two residents prescribed antidepressants were not monitored or documented for side effects or ongoing symptoms, despite care plans requiring such monitoring. Nursing staff and leadership confirmed these deficiencies in practice and documentation.
Surveyors found expired Ferrous Gluconate and Systane drops in a medication cabinet used for storing over-the-counter and resident-held medications. An LPN confirmed the medications were expired and should have been disposed of. The facility was unable to provide a medication storage policy when requested. This issue affected 28 residents on the first and second floors.
A resident with multiple chronic conditions did not have documentation of morning medication administration, as the assigned LPN left mid-shift without signing the MAR. The DON and other staff confirmed the absence of records for the medications, though the resident did not report missing any doses or experiencing adverse effects.
Food Storage and Sanitation Deficiencies in Dietary Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to serve and store food in a safe and sanitary manner, as evidenced by multiple observations and staff interviews. On one occasion, seafood salad was held on the buffet serving line at temperatures between 49 and 51 degrees Fahrenheit, above the recommended maximum of 40 degrees. The Director of Dietary Services confirmed that the seafood salad had been on the line for over 30 minutes and acknowledged the improper holding temperature. Facility policy and CDC guidelines both require that foods be maintained at proper temperatures to prevent bacterial growth, which was not followed in this instance. Additional deficiencies were observed during a kitchen tour, including the presence of red and black substances inside the ice machine, a crate of bananas stored on the floor, and a fuzzy gray and brown substance on the walk-in refrigerator ceiling near the fans. In the walk-in freezer, there were opened and undated packages of carrots, an unlabeled and undated cup of a brown substance, and several food items stored directly on the freezer floor. Icicles were present on the freezer ceiling, with ice forming on a package of cheese manicotti. Staff interviews confirmed the presence of these unsanitary conditions and the lack of proper labeling and storage practices.
Failure to Obtain Resident Consent for Donations from Trust Accounts
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents or their representatives were properly informed of and consented to donations made from their resident fund accounts. Financial and medical record reviews, along with resident and staff interviews, revealed that multiple withdrawals labeled as donations were made from the accounts of four residents. In several cases, the Resident Trust Funding Request Forms indicated that the donations were requested by the residents, but the forms were actually signed and authorized by facility staff, specifically the Resident Life Director, rather than the residents themselves. For residents with cognitive impairments, such as one with severe impairment and another with moderate impairment, there was no evidence that a legally authorized representative had provided consent for the withdrawals. Interviews with cognitively intact residents confirmed that they were unaware of donations being made to certain organizations, including the Dominican Sisters of Peace, and had not authorized such transactions. One resident stated she had requested donations to specific schools, not to the organizations listed in her account statements. Another resident was unsure about her financial transactions and had not been informed about donations or the status of her account. Staff interviews revealed a lack of documented procedures or education for residents or their representatives regarding expected or required donations, and staff could not provide clear answers about donation amounts, frequency, or account limits. Facility policy and the resident handbook state that residents may use their funds as they choose and that misappropriation of resident property is not tolerated. However, the investigation found that the process for handling donations from resident accounts was not transparent or consistently documented, and residents or their representatives were not always involved in or aware of these financial decisions. This resulted in the wrongful use of resident funds without proper consent, affecting multiple residents.
Failure to Initiate and Implement Comprehensive Care Plans for Resident Needs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care plans that addressed all identified needs for five residents out of eighteen reviewed. For one resident with multiple diagnoses, including diabetes and osteonecrosis of the jaw, there was a physician order for prophylactic antibiotics, but no corresponding care plan for antibiotic use or infection management was found. Staff interviews confirmed the absence of such a care plan in the electronic medical record, and facility leadership acknowledged that it should have been present. Another resident with significant pain management needs, including multiple as-needed pain medications, did not have a care plan addressing pain or the use of pain medications. Staff confirmed that a pain management care plan was missing and that it should have been in place according to facility policy. Similarly, a resident identified as a good candidate for bladder retraining due to frequent incontinence did not have a care plan addressing bladder continence, goals, or interventions, despite assessments indicating the need for such a plan. Additional deficiencies included a resident with a history of refusing lab work and a standing order for antibiotics prior to dental work, whose care plan did not address lab refusals, antibiotic use, or infection risks related to orthopedic hardware. Another resident receiving antibiotics prior to dental appointments also lacked a care plan focus, goals, or interventions for antibiotic medication. Staff interviews consistently confirmed the absence of required care plans for these identified needs.
Failure to Establish Pain Medication Parameters and Monitor Psychotropic Side Effects
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents' drug regimens were free from unnecessary drugs by not establishing or documenting appropriate parameters for the administration of as-needed (PRN) pain medications and by failing to monitor and document side effects for residents prescribed psychotropic medications. For two residents with pain management needs, multiple PRN pain medications were ordered without clear guidelines or parameters for their use. In one case, a resident with multiple complex diagnoses, including hemiparesis, morbid obesity, and dysphagia, received various pain medications such as Tramadol, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen, but there were no instructions specifying which medication should be used for different pain levels. Medication administration records showed that pain medications were sometimes given for pain levels as low as zero, and there was no care plan or progress notes justifying these decisions. Nursing staff interviews confirmed that medication was given based on resident request and pain level, but acknowledged the lack of specific parameters. Another resident with chronic pain conditions, including osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, also had multiple PRN pain medications ordered without specific parameters for their administration. The resident received narcotic pain medication for low pain scores and even when reporting no pain, with no formal guidelines in place to direct staff on appropriate medication selection. Nursing staff confirmed that while they generally used lower-strength medications for mild pain and higher-strength for severe pain, there were no written parameters, and documentation did not always support the rationale for medication administration. Additionally, the facility failed to monitor and document side effects and effectiveness of psychotropic medications for two residents prescribed antidepressants. In both cases, there was no evidence in the medical record or treatment administration records that staff were monitoring for signs and symptoms of depression or side effects of the medications, despite care plans indicating that such monitoring should occur. Interviews with nursing staff and the Director of Nursing confirmed that monitoring was expected but not documented. This lack of monitoring and documentation was consistent across both residents reviewed for unnecessary medications.
Expired Medications Found in Medication Storage Cabinet
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to ensure proper storage and management of medications in the second floor medication room. Specifically, a medication cabinet used to store over-the-counter medications for residents, as well as medications held for residents prior to admission, contained various scattered medications and empty boxes. Upon inspection, expired Ferrous Gluconate and Systane drops were found in the cabinet. An LPN confirmed that these medications were expired and should have been disposed of. Additionally, the facility was unable to provide a medication storage policy when requested by surveyors. This deficiency affected 28 residents living on the first and second floors, with a total facility census of 68 at the time of the survey.
Failure to Maintain Accurate Medication Administration Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an accurate medical record for one resident, as evidenced by missing documentation of medication administration on a specific morning. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses including hypertension, GERD, polyarthritis, major depressive disorder, osteoarthritis, chronic kidney disease, and vitamin deficiencies, was prescribed several medications to be administered daily. On the morning in question, the Medication Administration Record (MAR) did not show evidence that any of the prescribed morning medications were given to the resident. Review of the medical record confirmed the absence of documentation for these medications, and the Director of Nursing verified that there was no evidence in the chart to indicate administration. Further investigation revealed that the LPN assigned to the resident's floor was present during the relevant shift but left the facility before completing her shift, citing anxiety, and did not sign off on the MAR for the resident. Attestation statements from facility staff confirmed that the LPN was responsible for medication administration on the affected floors and that she left without completing the required documentation. Another nurse completed the remainder of the shift, and the LPN was subsequently reported for job abandonment. There was no evidence that the resident experienced any adverse reactions as a result of the missing medication documentation.
