Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Soddy-daisy Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Multiple resident rooms and privacy curtains were found in disrepair and unclean conditions, including scuffed walls, chipped paint, torn sheet rock, missing trim, and soiled curtains with unknown substances. Staff interviews revealed inconsistent cleaning practices and a lack of a written repair plan, while residents and family members reported that these issues had persisted for extended periods.
A resident with multiple complex medical conditions experienced an unwitnessed fall with a head injury, but the subsequent MDS assessment failed to document the fall, contrary to facility policy and federal requirements. The MDS Coordinator acknowledged the oversight during an interview.
A resident with multiple diagnoses and a high risk for falls did not have prescribed fall prevention interventions, such as low bed positioning and bilateral fall mats, implemented as outlined in their care plan. Multiple observations confirmed the absence of these interventions, and staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness regarding the resident's fall prevention needs.
A resident with multiple diagnoses, including dementia and muscle weakness, had new fall prevention interventions in place—such as a bolster bed, anti-rollback wheelchair devices, and a tilted wheelchair seat—but the facility failed to update the comprehensive care plan to reflect these changes. The DON confirmed the omission after observations and review of records.
A resident with multiple health conditions had physician orders and a care plan requiring bilateral fall mats as a fall prevention measure. Despite MARs being signed by nursing staff indicating the mats were in place, multiple observations and staff interviews confirmed the mats were not present at the bedside. The DON verified the absence of the mats, showing that the facility failed to maintain accurate and factual documentation in the resident's medical record.
Failure to Maintain Clean, Sanitary, and Homelike Resident Rooms and Privacy Curtains
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain resident rooms and privacy curtains in a clean, sanitary, and homelike condition for 12 out of 71 rooms observed. Observations revealed multiple rooms with scuff marks, torn sheet rock, missing paint, loose or peeling baseboards, chipped plaster, and missing trim. Privacy curtains in several rooms were found to be soiled with an unknown brown substance, and some rooms had missing or damaged fixtures such as lighting and closet doors. These conditions were directly observed during the survey and confirmed by interviews with staff, residents, and family members. Facility policies required maintenance and housekeeping services to ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, including routine cleaning and disinfection of high-touch areas and privacy curtains. However, interviews with the Maintenance Director and Environmental Services staff revealed that repairs were made on an as-needed basis without a written plan, and there was inconsistency in the cleaning and laundering of privacy curtains. Staff could not recall the last time privacy curtains were removed for laundering, and some curtains were confirmed to be visibly soiled and in need of cleaning or replacement. Residents and family members reported that the disrepair and unclean conditions had persisted for extended periods, with one resident stating the walls had been in poor condition since their admission over a year ago. The Maintenance Director acknowledged awareness of the disrepair in the identified rooms, and the Regional Director of Operations for Environmental Services confirmed that the soiled privacy curtains had not been adequately addressed. No performance improvement plans were in place at the time of the survey.
Failure to Accurately Document Fall in MDS Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately complete a Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment following a fall for one resident. According to facility policy and federal regulations, residents must be assessed using a comprehensive and standardized process to identify care needs. A resident with multiple diagnoses, including cerebral infarction, Alzheimer's disease, dementia with behaviors, diabetes, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, dysphagia, and muscle weakness, experienced an unwitnessed fall resulting in a head injury. However, review of the quarterly MDS assessment conducted after the fall showed that the incident was not identified or documented, and the assessment incorrectly indicated that the resident had not experienced any falls. The MDS Coordinator confirmed during an interview that the fall was overlooked and not recorded in the assessment.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Interventions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement the care plan interventions related to fall prevention for one resident. According to the facility's policies, comprehensive care plans must be developed and implemented to address each resident's specific needs, including fall risk interventions. The resident in question had a history of cerebral infarction, Alzheimer's disease, dementia with behaviors, diabetes, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, dysphagia, and muscle weakness, and was identified as being at risk for falls due to weakness and unstable mobility. The care plan included interventions such as keeping the bed in the lowest position and placing bilateral fall mats at the bedside, especially after multiple attempts by the resident to get out of bed without assistance. Despite these documented interventions, multiple observations over several days revealed that the resident's bed was not in the lowest position and fall mats were not present at the bedside. Staff interviews confirmed a lack of awareness and implementation of the prescribed fall interventions. The Wound Care Nurse was unaware of the resident's fall interventions and could not recall the last time fall mats were present, while the DON confirmed the absence of fall mats and the failure to implement the care plan as required.
Failure to Revise Care Plan for Fall Interventions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to revise the comprehensive care plan to include updated fall prevention interventions for a resident with multiple medical conditions, including cerebral infarction, Alzheimer's disease, dementia with behaviors, diabetes, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, dysphagia, and muscle weakness. Despite documented recommendations from both the physician and occupational therapy to keep the wheelchair seat in the lowest position with anti-rollback devices and to tilt the wheelchair seat for safety, these specific interventions were not updated in the resident's care plan. The facility's own policies require that care plans be revised to reflect new or changed interventions following a fall or identification of new risk factors. Observations over several days confirmed that the resident consistently used a bolster bed and a wheelchair equipped with anti-rollback devices and a tilted seat. During an interview, the DON acknowledged that these interventions were in place but confirmed that the comprehensive care plan had not been revised to include the anti-rollback devices, the tilted wheelchair seat, or the bolster bed. This omission was identified through review of facility policy, medical records, direct observation, and staff interview.
Inaccurate MAR Documentation for Fall Prevention Intervention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately complete the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for one resident with multiple diagnoses, including cerebral infarction, Alzheimer's disease, dementia with behaviors, diabetes, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, dysphagia, and muscle weakness. Physician's orders and the resident's care plan required bilateral fall mats to be checked and in place at the bedside every shift as a fall prevention intervention. The MARs for several months were signed by nursing staff, indicating that the fall mats were in place for all day and night shifts. However, direct observations on multiple occasions revealed that the resident did not have fall mats present at the bedside. Interviews with environmental services staff and a CNA confirmed that they had not observed fall mats in the resident's room during their shifts. An LPN admitted to signing the MARs as if the fall mats were in place but could not recall seeing them, and the DON confirmed the absence of the fall mats. This demonstrates that the facility did not maintain accurate and factual documentation in the resident's medical record, as required by facility policy and professional standards.
