Health deficiencies cited at Wyandot County Skilled Nursing And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary condition of the ventilation hood system, which was covered in dust and debris and located above key kitchen equipment. The Dietary Manager confirmed the need for cleaning, and the facility's sanitation policy did not include the hood system in the daily cleaning schedule.
The facility did not self-identify any improvement opportunities for the first three quarters of 2024, affecting all 64 residents. QAPI meetings in January, April, and July were identical, with no new areas identified. Interviews with the Administrator and DON revealed a lack of proactive measures, focusing only on past citations without recording meeting notes or taking action to prevent recurring issues.
The facility failed to maintain accurate documentation of advance directives for two residents. One resident's DNR-CCA status was not updated in the PCC system, while another resident's DNR-CC status was inaccurately recorded as DNR-CCA in both the PCC and care conferences. These discrepancies were confirmed by the DON.
The facility failed to notify the physician when two residents experienced significant changes in condition. One resident was found unconscious with low blood pressure and pale skin, and the physician was not notified until hours later, leading to an emergency room evaluation. Another resident showed changes in cognition and responsiveness, but the physician was not informed, only the responsible party was contacted. These incidents highlight a failure in the facility's protocol for managing changes in resident conditions.
A resident experienced a significant medication error when an LPN failed to prime an insulin pen before administering insulin. The LPN did not release two units of insulin as required by the facility's policy, leading to an incorrect dose being administered. The facility's policy mandates priming the pen to ensure accurate dosing, which was not followed in this instance.
Unsanitary Ventilation Hood System in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the ventilation hood system in a sanitary condition, which had the potential to affect all residents in the facility with a census of 64. During an observation, it was noted that the metal louvres in the hood system were covered in a thick coat of dust and debris. This hood system is located directly above the flat top grill, burners, steamer, and convection oven, which are critical areas for food preparation. An interview with the Dietary Manager confirmed that the vents required cleaning. A review of the facility's undated 'General Sanitation of Kitchen' policy revealed that the hood system was not included in the daily cleaning schedule, indicating a lapse in the facility's sanitation practices.
Failure to Self-Identify Improvement Opportunities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to self-identify any areas of opportunities for improvement for the first three quarters of 2024, potentially affecting all 64 residents. The Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) Plan meeting was held on January 17, 2024, where recent survey results were reviewed, and plans were made to monitor various audits, including Pre-Admission Screening and Resident Review results, baseline care plans, comprehensive care plans, fall audits, catheter care audits, diet audits, oxygen audits, personal protection equipment audits, pneumonia vaccine audits, and COVID-19 testing per CDC guidelines. A new Performance Improvement Plan was initiated for wound care. However, the QAPI meetings held on April 23, 2024, and July 30, 2024, were identical to the January meeting, with no new areas identified for improvement. Interviews with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that the facility had not attempted to self-identify any opportunities for improvement and had only focused on addressing the citation issued at the last annual survey. The Administrator admitted that no notes were recorded for the meetings, and there was no true course of action taken to prevent the recurrence of the same concerns identified. The facility's policy on Quality Assurance Performance Improvement Plan stated that the program should be data-driven and utilize a proactive approach to improve quality of care and services, but this was not reflected in the facility's actions.
Inaccurate Documentation of Advance Directives
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the advanced directives for two residents were accurate and consistent across different documentation systems. Resident #18, who was admitted with acute respiratory failure, type two diabetes mellitus, and Alzheimer's disease, had a discrepancy in their code status. Although the resident's care plan and hard medical chart indicated a DNR-CCA status, the Point Click Care (PCC) system listed the resident as full code. Interviews with the LPN and DON confirmed the inconsistency, acknowledging that the advance directive was not updated in the PCC system, which should have matched the hard chart and care plan. Similarly, Resident #20, admitted with diagnoses including weakness, anemia, and spinal stenosis, had a DNR form signed by the POA indicating a DNR-CC status. However, both the PCC system and care conferences recorded the resident's code status as DNR-CCA. The DON verified the inaccuracy, confirming that the information in the PCC and care conferences did not align with the DNR form signed by the POA. These discrepancies highlight the facility's failure to maintain accurate and consistent documentation of residents' advance directives.
Failure to Notify Physician of Change in Resident Condition
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician when two residents experienced a change in condition. Resident #20, who had intact cognition and required substantial to maximal assistance for mobility, was found unconscious on the toilet with low blood pressure and pale skin. Despite these significant changes, the physician was not notified until several hours later, after the resident's condition had further deteriorated, requiring emergency room evaluation. The delay in communication with the Certified Nurse Practitioner (CNP) resulted in a failure to promptly address the resident's critical condition. Similarly, Resident #7, who was cognitively impaired and had a history of falls, exhibited a change in cognition and responsiveness, including audible wheezing and sluggish pupil response. Despite these observations, the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) did not notify the physician, only leaving a message for the responsible party. The resident's condition improved by the evening, but the lack of timely physician notification represented a failure in the facility's protocol for managing changes in resident conditions.
Failure to Prime Insulin Pen Leads to Medication Error
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accuracy of insulin administration for a resident, resulting in a significant medication error. The physician's orders for the resident included a sliding scale for insulin administration using a Novolog FlexPen. During an observation, an LPN conducted a glucometer test for the resident, which resulted in a reading of 158. The LPN then prepared the insulin injection but failed to prime the insulin pen by not releasing two units of insulin before dialing up the dose. Instead, the LPN directly drew up 17 units of insulin and administered it to the resident without priming the pen. The facility's policy on insulin pen usage, dated 2021, clearly states that the insulin pen should be primed by dialing up two units and ensuring at least one drop of insulin appears on the needle tip before setting the ordered dose. The LPN confirmed during an interview that the insulin pen was not primed prior to administering the insulin. This oversight in following the facility's insulin pen policy led to the medication error, affecting the resident's insulin administration.
