Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Allied Services Transitional Rehab Unit during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident admitted with urinary retention, UTI, and severe sepsis had a Foley catheter in place, and a physician order addressed catheter care and irrigation PRN. However, the baseline person-centered care plan did not include the resident’s Foley catheter need or individualized interventions for safe, hygienic catheter management, and the physician orders did not reflect continued Foley use.
A resident with CHF and Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder had a physician order for Melatonin for difficulty sleeping, but the care plan did not address the resident's inability to obtain adequate rest and sleep. The NHA and DON confirmed the care plan did not reflect resident-centered psychosocial and clinical needs and lacked updated information, despite policy requiring a comprehensive, measurable plan with 24-hour involvement.
A resident’s admission MDS was not coded accurately because an active diagnosis of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder was omitted. The resident had CHF, an active sleep disorder diagnosis, and was receiving Melatonin 3 mg nightly, but the RNAC completed and submitted the MDS without including the sleep disorder in Section I. The NHA, DON, and RNAC confirmed the error.
A facility failed to assess and treat a pressure ulcer for a resident with a suspected deep tissue injury (DTI) on the right heel. The resident, with multiple health conditions, was not thoroughly assessed upon admission, and no treatment was applied initially, despite facility policies requiring comprehensive skin assessments and timely interventions. The DON confirmed these deficiencies.
The facility failed to ensure accurate controlled medication records by not completing required narcotic shift counts. A review of narcotic count sheets revealed missing signatures from nurses responsible for verifying controlled drug counts during shift changes. This discrepancy was confirmed by the DON, indicating a lack of adherence to the facility's policy for controlled medication management.
The facility failed to ensure proper storage and adherence to expiration/use by dates for pharmaceutical products in the medication room. Observations revealed multiple expired items, including Max Zero Needless connectors, various gauge needle safety infusion sets, Autoguard BC winged IV catheters, disposable needles, and IV starter kits. An LPN and the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed the expired supplies should have been discarded.
Baseline Care Plan Missing Foley Catheter Needs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a baseline person-centered care plan within 48 hours of admission that addressed the immediate clinical needs of Resident 52. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including urinary retention, UTI, and severe sepsis. A physician order dated December 5, 2025, at 2:45 PM directed catheter care every shift for good hygiene and irrigation PRN for blockage with 30 ml NSS. A CRNP history and physical completed later that day documented that the resident had been seen by urology while hospitalized and required a Foley catheter due to urinary retention, and the facility was able to justify continued Foley use. However, the resident’s physician orders did not reflect an order for continued Foley catheter use, and the baseline person-centered plan of care initiated on December 5, 2025, did not include the resident’s need for a Foley catheter or individualized interventions for proper care and services to safely and hygienically manage the catheter. The NHA and DON reviewed and confirmed this information during interview.
Incomplete Care Plan for Sleep Needs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to fully develop a person-centered comprehensive care plan for Resident 21 to meet individualized needs. Resident 21 was admitted with diagnoses including acute diastolic congestive heart failure and Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder. A physician's order dated December 1, 2025, included Melatonin 3 mg every evening at bedtime for difficulty obtaining adequate rest and sleep. Review of the clinical record showed Resident 21's care plan did not include information addressing the resident's inability to get adequate rest and sleep. The facility's policy required a comprehensive care plan with measurable objectives addressing medical, nursing, mental, and psychosocial needs, with 24-hour involvement and updates as needed. During an interview on December 11, 2025, the NHA and DON confirmed the care plan did not reflect resident-centered psychosocial and clinical needs and lacked updated information.
Inaccurate MDS Diagnosis Coding
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete an accurate MDS assessment for one resident. Resident 21 was admitted with diagnoses including acute diastolic congestive heart failure and had an active admission diagnosis of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder. The clinical record also showed a physician order for Melatonin 3 mg by mouth at bedtime, and the eMAR confirmed the resident received Melatonin each evening beginning December 1, 2025. The admission MDS was signed as completed by the RNAC on December 8, 2025, and the completed assessment was signed on December 9, 2025 and transmitted on December 10, 2025. Section I of the MDS did not include the active diagnosis of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder. Interviews with the NHA, DON, and RNAC confirmed that the electronically submitted MDS did not include this diagnosis and was not coded accurately, so it did not accurately reflect the resident’s current medical treatments or mood or behavior status at the time of submission.
Failure to Assess and Treat Pressure Ulcer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to thoroughly assess and timely implement treatments for a pressure ulcer in one resident, identified as Resident 18. Upon admission, the resident had a suspected deep tissue injury (DTI) on the right heel, which was not measured or thoroughly assessed. The facility's policy required a comprehensive skin assessment upon admission, but there was no documented evidence that this was completed for the resident's right heel DTI. Additionally, the facility did not apply a treatment to the impaired area upon initial identification, as required by their wound management policy. Resident 18 was admitted with multiple diagnoses, including a left femur fracture, type II diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, which increased the risk for skin integrity issues. Despite the resident's baseline care plan identifying the risk for skin breakdown, the facility did not document a thorough assessment or timely treatment of the DTI. The Director of Nursing confirmed the failure to assess and treat the DTI appropriately, which was a deficiency in the facility's care practices.
Failure to Ensure Accurate Controlled Medication Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement procedures to ensure accurate controlled medication records, as evidenced by missing signatures on narcotic count sheets. According to the facility's policy, a physical inventory of controlled medications must be conducted at the end and beginning of each shift by two licensed nurses, who must both view the medication, validate the count, and document their verification with signatures. However, a review of the Narcotic Count Sheets for January and February 2025 revealed multiple instances where either the oncoming or off going nurse failed to sign the sheet, indicating a lack of verification of the controlled drug count during shift changes. Specifically, missing signatures were noted on several dates for both the [NAME] Wing and East Wing medication carts. These discrepancies were confirmed during an interview with the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the facility's failure to ensure consistent implementation of procedures to maintain accurate controlled drug records. The absence of required signatures suggests that the facility did not adhere to its own policy for controlled medication management, potentially compromising the accuracy of medication records.
Failure to Ensure Proper Storage and Adherence to Expiration Dates for Pharmaceutical Products
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper storage and adherence to expiration/use by dates for pharmaceutical products in the medication room. Observations revealed multiple expired items, including 38 Max Zero Needless connectors, various gauge needle safety infusion sets, Autoguard BC winged IV catheters, disposable needles, and IV starter kits. An LPN confirmed the expired supplies should have been discarded. The Nursing Home Administrator also confirmed that expired pharmacy products should have been removed and discarded.
