Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Nhc Healthcare, Lawrenceburg during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions was able to exit the facility unassisted and was found outside on the ground with abrasions, due to unlocked doors and lack of staff awareness. The facility did not identify or investigate the elopement as required by policy.
Nursing staff did not provide or document daily catheter care for a resident with an indwelling urinary catheter, despite facility policy and the care plan requiring it. The resident, who was dependent on staff and at risk for complications due to multiple diagnoses, had no physician orders or TAR documentation for catheter care. The DON confirmed that catheter care should have been ordered and completed.
A resident with multiple respiratory and cardiac conditions was observed receiving oxygen at a lower flow rate than prescribed by the physician. Despite an order for 3 L/min via nasal cannula, the resident consistently received only 2 L/min, as confirmed by observation and the DON.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment reported that a CNA was rough during perineal care, causing discomfort. Despite the complaint and a request from the resident's responsible party to prevent the CNA from providing further care, the incident was not reported to the appropriate authorities, and no investigation was conducted. The facility's failure to report and investigate the allegation constitutes a deficiency in adherence to its abuse reporting policy and regulatory requirements.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions reported rough handling by a CNA during perineal care. Despite the resident's complaint and a call from the resident's responsible party, the facility failed to investigate the allegation, violating their policy on abuse investigation.
The facility failed to follow proper infection control practices during tracheostomy care for a resident with severe cognitive impairment and chronic respiratory failure. Additionally, the facility did not store oxygen tubing and a nasal cannula in accordance with its policy for another resident with Alzheimer's disease and hypertension. The DON and IP confirmed these breaches and stated that staff did not follow the facility's infection control policies.
Failure to Prevent and Investigate Resident Elopement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an environment free from accident hazards related to elopement for a resident with moderate cognitive impairment. The resident, who had diagnoses including cerebral infarction with hemiplegia, altered mental status, disorientation with confusion, and metabolic encephalopathy, was initially assessed as not at risk for elopement. However, the resident was later found outside the facility on the ground near the front entrance, unassisted and without staff knowledge. The resident's wheelchair was found by the front doors, and the resident sustained abrasions to both knees. The front doors were confirmed to be unlocked during the day, allowing anyone to exit freely by pushing the door or pressing the exit button. Staff interviews confirmed that the resident had not previously displayed exit-seeking behavior and that the incident was not immediately recognized as an elopement. The facility's policies required identification of residents at risk for wandering and elopement, as well as thorough investigation and documentation of incidents and accidents. Despite these policies, the facility failed to identify and investigate the elopement event, and the resident was able to leave the building without staff awareness or supervision.
Failure to Provide Required Catheter Care for Resident with Indwelling Catheter
Penalty
Summary
Nursing staff failed to provide required catheter care for a resident with an indwelling urinary catheter. Facility policy stated that indwelling catheter care should be provided once daily using approved techniques to reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection. The resident, who had diagnoses including Alzheimer's, dementia, obstructive and reflux uropathy, urinary retention, and functional urinary incontinence, was dependent on staff for toileting and bathing and required the use of an indwelling urinary catheter. The care plan indicated the need for daily and as-needed catheter care due to the resident's risk for complications. Despite these requirements, there were no physician orders for daily or as-needed catheter care for the resident, and the Treatment Administration Records for the relevant months showed no documentation that catheter care was provided. Observations confirmed the resident had an indwelling catheter in place, and the DON acknowledged that catheter care should have been ordered, documented, and completed according to the care plan.
Failure to Follow Physician Orders for Oxygen Therapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow physician orders for oxygen therapy for one resident. According to facility policy, staff are required to verify and document the physician's order for oxygen, including the prescribed liter flow, delivery device, and duration. Medical record review showed that the resident, who had diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory failure, dementia, palliative care, and heart failure, had a physician's order for oxygen at 3 liters per minute via bi-nasal cannula every shift. However, multiple observations over two days revealed the resident was receiving oxygen at a flow rate of only 2 liters per minute. During an interview, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the oxygen flow rate should match the physician's order and that staff are expected to follow these orders.
Failure to Report Allegation of Potential Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of potential abuse involving a resident with moderate cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions, including congestive heart failure and osteoarthritis. The resident reported that a CNA had been rough during perineal care, causing discomfort. Despite the resident's complaint and a subsequent request from the resident's responsible party to prevent the CNA from providing further care, the incident was not reported to the appropriate authorities as required by facility policy and federal and state law. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the incident was known to several individuals, including an LPN who documented the resident's complaint and the responsible party's request. However, the LPN did not notify the abuse coordinator or social services, and no investigation was conducted. The Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator were also unaware of the incident, and the facility did not report the allegation to the state agency. Further interviews indicated that the CNA involved in the incident was not interviewed, and the facility did not take any documented action to investigate the resident's concerns. The DON acknowledged that any suspicion of abuse should be investigated, but no steps were taken to address the resident's complaint. The failure to report and investigate the allegation of potential abuse constitutes a deficiency in the facility's adherence to its abuse reporting policy and regulatory requirements.
Failure to Investigate Allegation of Potential Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to investigate an allegation of potential abuse involving a resident with moderate cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions, including congestive heart failure and osteoarthritis. The resident reported that a CNA had been rough during perineal care, causing discomfort. Despite the resident's complaint and a subsequent call from the resident's responsible party expressing concerns about the CNA's care, no investigation was initiated by the facility staff, including the LPN and DON. The facility's policy mandates that all allegations of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of patient property be investigated, but this protocol was not followed in this instance. The resident's concerns were documented by an LPN, who noted the resident's complaint about rough handling during a bath and a subsequent call from the resident's responsible party requesting that the CNA not be allowed to care for the resident. However, the LPN did not notify the appropriate personnel or initiate an investigation. The Social Worker, who also served as the Abuse Coordinator, was unaware of the incident until several days later and confirmed that no investigation had been conducted. The DON admitted that no investigation was carried out because the issue was perceived as a preference rather than a potential abuse case. Interviews with the resident, the responsible party, the LPN, the CNA, and the DON revealed a lack of communication and adherence to the facility's abuse investigation policy. The CNA confirmed that the resident had complained about being hurt during perineal care, and the LPN acknowledged that the resident's responsible party had requested the CNA not care for the resident anymore. Despite these reports, the facility did not take the necessary steps to investigate the allegations, as required by their policy, leading to a deficiency in handling potential abuse cases.
Infection Control Breaches During Tracheostomy Care and Improper Storage of Respiratory Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow proper infection control practices during tracheostomy care for a resident with severe cognitive impairment and chronic respiratory failure. The respiratory therapist (RT) used nonsterile gloves to handle sterile items and double-gloved, which is against facility policy. The RT did not wash her hands between clean and dirty tasks, leading to multiple breaches in infection control. The Director of Nursing (DON) and Infection Preventionist (IP) confirmed these breaches and stated that the RT did not follow the facility's infection control policies. Additionally, the facility did not store oxygen tubing and a nasal cannula in accordance with its policy for another resident with Alzheimer's disease and hypertension. The nasal cannula was observed uncovered and draped over a geriatric chair, contrary to the facility's policy that requires respiratory equipment to be covered when not in use. Both a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed the improper storage of the nasal cannula. The DON stated that she expected staff to follow the facility's policies for infection control and proper storage of respiratory equipment. The IP expressed shock at the RT's performance of tracheostomy care, highlighting the severity of the infection control breaches observed during the survey.
