Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Emerald Care Center Midwest during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident admitted with a history of thrombectomy experienced a delay in receiving prescribed hydrocodone/APAP for pain management. Although the physician's order was dated, the electronic prescription was not sent to the pharmacy until the following day, resulting in a delay in delivery and administration. The DON acknowledged the delay in submitting the order.
The facility failed to provide complete and accurate documentation for two residents who experienced falls, and restricted access to incident reports for surveyors. One resident, with anemia and hypertension, had incomplete fall documentation, while another, with atrial fibrillation, had inconsistent records. The DON confirmed that incident reports were internal and not accessible to surveyors, contributing to the deficiency.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment experienced a fall resulting in a bruise, but the facility failed to document notification of the resident's representative. The LPN left a message for the family but did not record this in the electronic record, only in the risk management system, which surveyors could not access.
A resident was discharged without a critical wheelchair due to the facility's failure to order and ensure its delivery in a timely manner. The Social Services Director did not document attempts to order the wheelchair and failed to follow up with the resident's family, leading to the deficiency in discharge planning.
The facility failed to administer scabies treatments in a timely manner for two residents. One resident's Ivermectin tablets were delivered but not given until nearly six days later, while another resident's Permethrin cream was applied over a day after delivery. The ADON confirmed these delays upon reviewing the records.
A facility failed to administer Permethrin Cream 5% as ordered for a resident with scabies. The treatment was prescribed to be applied for two days, but the resident reported it was only applied once, and they had not been showered as required. The resident continued to show symptoms, and the ADON confirmed the treatment was not completed as prescribed.
A resident with dementia and dermatitis experienced an untreated rash for several weeks due to the facility's failure to notify the physician. Initial treatment with Clobetasol cream ended, but the rash persisted without further action. The IPC nurse and DON were unaware of the lack of treatment, and a later dermatology visit identified the rash as likely scabies, leading to appropriate treatment.
The facility failed to implement its infection control policy for scabies surveillance among residents, leading to a deficiency. Despite symptoms consistent with scabies, there was no documentation of room cleaning or surveillance data collection. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness and training regarding the infection control policy and procedures. The DON admitted to not gathering surveillance data, and housekeepers were untrained in cleaning procedures for scabies. The IPC nurse was unaware of the surveillance plan, contributing to the deficiency.
The facility failed to implement its abuse policy for three residents, resulting in unreported and uninvestigated allegations of verbal and physical abuse. Despite residents having intact cognition and reporting incidents, the facility did not follow through with immediate reporting to state agencies or proper investigations.
Delay in Pain Medication Order Submission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an order for pain medication was submitted to the pharmacy in a timely manner for one of the sampled residents. The resident was admitted with a history of thrombectomy of the right superficial femoral, profunda femoral, and popliteal arteries. A physician's order dated January 23, 2025, indicated that the resident was to receive hydrocodone/APAP for pain management. However, the resident reported that it took two days to receive medication stronger than Tylenol. The certified medication aide confirmed the delay, and the pharmacist noted that the electronic prescription was not sent until January 24, 2025, at 5:08 p.m. Consequently, the medication was not delivered until after 5:44 p.m. on the same day, and the first dose was administered at 8:59 p.m. The director of nursing acknowledged the delay in submitting the order to the pharmacy.
Incomplete Documentation and Restricted Access to Incident Reports
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that incident reports involving residents were accessible to the State Agency (SA) and that resident records were complete and accurate. This deficiency was identified for two residents who experienced falls. The facility's policy required thorough investigation and documentation of accidents and incidents, including falls, within five working days. However, for Resident #1, there was no incident report provided for falls that occurred on two separate occasions. The documentation for these falls was incomplete, lacking signatures, and missing critical information such as fall risk evaluations and pain assessments. Resident #1, who had diagnoses including unspecified anemia, tremor, and hypertension, experienced a fall while on a shower chair. The incident was unwitnessed, and the documentation was incomplete, with missing signatures and unfilled forms. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged the lack of a signed fall risk evaluation form and stated that the nurse responsible for completing it was no longer employed at the facility. Additionally, the DON stated that the incident report was not part of the resident's chart and was not accessible to surveyors, which hindered the investigation process. Similarly, for Resident #7, who had diagnoses including unspecified atrial fibrillation and cardiomyopathy, the facility failed to provide an incident report for a fall that resulted in a bruise. The documentation was inconsistent, with vital signs recorded from different dates and missing information regarding the notification of the resident's representative. The DON confirmed that surveyors did not have access to incident reports, as they were considered internal documents. This lack of access and incomplete documentation contributed to the deficiency identified by the surveyors.
Failure to Notify Resident's Representative After Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide evidence that a resident's representative was notified after the resident experienced a fall. This deficiency was identified for one of the three sampled residents reviewed for falls. The facility's policy requires that changes in a resident's condition or treatment be immediately shared with the resident and/or their representative. However, in the case of a resident with moderate cognitive impairment, there was no documentation that their representative was notified of a fall that resulted in a bruise to the resident's right rib. The incident occurred when the resident attempted to get out of bed and fell, as reported by a CNA. Although the nurse documented the fall and the minor injury in a Change in Condition Evaluation form, the section for notifying the resident's representative was left blank. The LPN involved stated that they left a message for the family to call back but did not document this notification in the electronic record, only in the risk management system, which surveyors did not have access to. This lack of documentation and communication with the resident's representative constitutes a deficiency in the facility's adherence to its notification policy.
Failure to Ensure Timely Provision of Post-Discharge Medical Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's critical post-discharge medical equipment, specifically a wheelchair, was ordered and received in a timely manner. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including Parkinsonism, traumatic subdural hematoma, and depression, was discharged home with family without the necessary wheelchair. The Physician's Progress Note, which was crucial for the ordering of the wheelchair, was not signed or submitted to the DME company until several days after the resident's discharge. There was no documentation in the resident's clinical record indicating any attempts to order the wheelchair prior to discharge or to follow up with the resident or their family to ensure the equipment was received. The Social Services Director admitted to failing to document any attempts to order the wheelchair and had shredded all related documents. Furthermore, they did not follow up with the resident or their family after the DME company was supposed to deliver the wheelchair, as they went on vacation and did not consider the matter further. The resident's family reported not receiving the wheelchair and not receiving any callbacks from the Social Services Director despite leaving several messages. This lack of documentation and follow-up contributed to the deficiency in the discharge planning process.
Delayed Administration of Scabies Treatment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer medications and treatments in a timely manner for two residents diagnosed with scabies. For one resident, a physician's order for Ivermectin oral tablets was issued, and the medication was delivered to the facility but not administered until nearly six days later. Similarly, another resident had a physician's order for Permethrin cream, which was delivered but not applied until over a day later. These delays were confirmed by the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) upon reviewing the medication administration records and physician's orders, acknowledging the failure to administer the treatments promptly.
Failure to Administer Scabies Treatment as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer treatment as ordered for a resident receiving medication for scabies. A physician's order dated June 11, 2024, prescribed Permethrin External Cream 5% to be applied to the resident's body from the neck down topically one time only for two days, with the cream to be left on for eight hours before showering. The June 2024 Medication Administration Record (MAR) documented that the cream was administered on June 13, 2024, at 1:38 a.m. However, on June 14, 2024, the resident reported that the cream had only been applied once and that they had not been showered that morning. The resident also showed several red, raised areas on their left arm and chest, indicating ongoing symptoms. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) confirmed that the treatment was only done once, and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) acknowledged that the treatment was not administered for two days as prescribed.
Failure to Notify Physician of Ongoing Rash
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician of a resident's ongoing rash, which was not treated for an extended period. The resident, who had diagnoses including dementia, high blood pressure, and dermatitis, was initially noted to have a rash on 01/02/24, and a new order for Clobetasol cream was prescribed. However, after the treatment period ended on 01/17/24, the rash persisted, as documented in weekly skin/wound observation notes from 01/18/24 through 03/07/24, without any further treatment or physician notification. Despite the ongoing rash, the February 2024 MAR and TAR did not document any treatment for the condition. The IPC nurse and the DON were unaware of why the resident was not treated or why the physician was not notified, even though the rash continued for several weeks. A dermatology visit on 03/07/24 suggested the rash was likely scabies, and treatment with oral Ivermectin and topical permethrin was initiated.
Failure to Implement Scabies Surveillance and Control
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its infection control policy for the surveillance of scabies among residents. The infection control policy, revised in January 2024, mandates ongoing surveillance for healthcare-associated infections, including scabies, which can have a substantial impact on resident outcomes. However, the facility did not adhere to this policy for four of the six sampled residents. These residents had various diagnoses, including congestive heart failure, sarcopenia, type two diabetes mellitus, acute kidney failure, muscle weakness, palsy, dementia, high blood pressure, and dermatitis. Despite the presence of symptoms consistent with scabies, such as rashes and itching, there was no documentation of room cleaning or surveillance data collection as required by the infection control plan. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness and training regarding the infection control policy and procedures for scabies. The Director of Nursing (DON) admitted to not gathering surveillance data and was unaware of the policy details. Housekeepers were also untrained and unsure of the cleaning procedures for rooms of residents with scabies. The Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) nurse was unaware of the surveillance plan and believed another nurse was responsible for maintaining it, but no documentation was found. This lack of adherence to the infection control policy and inadequate staff training contributed to the deficiency in managing scabies outbreaks within the facility.
Failure to Implement Abuse Policy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement their abuse policy for three residents. Resident #4, who had an intact cognition and a diagnosis of anxiety disorder, reported verbal abuse by a housekeeping supervisor. Despite the report, the allegation was not immediately reported to state agencies, and the investigation was delayed. The DON admitted that the abuse coordinator should have been notified immediately, but the Administrator decided not to complete a state reportable. Additionally, a witness statement from a CNA indicated a delay in reporting the abuse allegation, further highlighting the facility's failure to follow its abuse policy. Resident #13, with a diagnosis of hypertension and intact cognition, reported that a therapy person was being rough. This allegation was neither reported to state agencies nor investigated. The ADON admitted to speaking with the director of therapy but was unsure of any further actions taken. Similarly, Resident #14, who had undergone joint replacement surgery and had intact cognition, reported rough handling by a CNA. This allegation was also not reported to state agencies, as the DON did not consider it abuse. These instances demonstrate the facility's consistent failure to adhere to its abuse policy, resulting in unreported and uninvestigated allegations of abuse.
