Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Nhc Healthcare, Bristol during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with multiple health conditions and a history of falls was injured after a CNA failed to lock the shower chair brakes before assisting with a transfer.

A resident did not receive treatment and care in accordance with physician orders and their own preferences and goals, resulting in a deficiency related to the delivery of individualized care.
The facility did not promptly report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft, nor did it communicate the results of its investigation to the proper authorities as required.
Failure to Lock Shower Chair Brakes Leads to Resident Fall and Injury
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure the resident environment was free from accident hazards by not locking the shower chair brakes prior to transferring a resident, resulting in a fall. The resident, who had diagnoses including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Congestive Heart Failure, Osteoporosis, and a history of falls, was identified as a fall risk with impaired mobility and difficulty walking. The care plan included interventions for safe transfer techniques. During a transfer from a shower chair to a wheelchair, the certified nursing assistant (CNA) did not lock the shower chair brakes after moving the chair, which led to the chair moving unexpectedly when the resident attempted to stand and transfer. As a result of the unlocked shower chair, the resident fell, sustaining a fracture at the base of the left thumb, skin tears to both forearms, and a scalp hematoma. The resident was cognitively intact and able to describe the incident, confirming that the chair was not locked and moved out from under her during the transfer. The facility's policy on safe transfers required brakes to be locked prior to transfer, but this was not followed at the time of the incident. Staff interviews and documentation confirmed the failure to lock the brakes, which directly led to the resident's injuries.
Failure to Provide Care According to Orders and Resident Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves a failure to provide appropriate treatment and care according to physician orders, as well as the resident’s preferences and goals. The report indicates that care was not delivered in alignment with the established plan or the expressed wishes and objectives of the resident, as required.
Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse, Neglect, or Theft
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to timely report suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and did not report the results of the investigation to the proper authorities. This deficiency was identified based on the facility's lack of prompt action in notifying the appropriate agencies when an incident of suspected abuse, neglect, or theft occurred. The report indicates that the required notifications and investigation results were not communicated as mandated.
