Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Fair View Nursing And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents with dementia were involved in an incident where one alleged unwanted advances by another, which was overheard by an RN but not reported to facility leadership within the required 2-hour timeframe. Staff interviews revealed inconsistent understanding of abuse reporting requirements, and documentation of the incident was incomplete.
A resident with dementia and a history of sexually inappropriate behaviors did not have these behaviors addressed in their comprehensive care plan, despite documentation and family acknowledgment. The responsible RN confirmed the omission during a care plan review, indicating the care plan was not updated to include necessary interventions.
A resident with a history of hypertension, COPD, and recent C. diff infection experienced multiple episodes of low blood pressure while receiving Metoprolol. Despite the facility's EHR flagging these readings as low and policy requiring physician notification, staff did not inform the physician or adjust care, and continued to administer the medication. The DON was unaware of the EHR's low blood pressure parameters, and the physician confirmed she was not notified of the resident's low blood pressures.
A facility failed to perform daily diabetic foot checks for a resident with type 2 diabetes, as required by professional standards. The resident's medical record showed no documentation of these checks, and staff interviews revealed that only weekly skin checks were conducted. The absence of a facility policy for diabetic foot checks contributed to this deficiency.
A resident with dementia experienced a significant weight loss of 6.78% over one month, and the facility failed to notify the physician or implement necessary interventions. The registered dietitian and registered nurses did not conduct assessments or alert the physician to the weight changes, and there were gaps in weight monitoring. The medical director was unaware of the weight loss, highlighting a deficiency in maintaining the resident's nutritional status.
The facility did not follow its antibiotic stewardship program, leading to inappropriate antibiotic treatment for two residents with UTIs. One resident received antibiotics despite a low colony count and lack of symptoms, while another was treated based on non-qualifying symptoms. The facility's policy requires adherence to CDC and CMS guidelines, which was not met, as confirmed by staff interviews and record reviews.
Failure to Timely Report Alleged Resident-to-Resident Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all alleged violations involving abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment were reported immediately, but no later than 2 hours after the allegation was made, as required by federal regulations. Specifically, an allegation of abuse was made by one resident against another during a phone call with her daughter, which was overheard by a registered nurse. The nurse did not immediately report the allegation to the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) or Director of Nursing (DON), and there was no documentation of immediate notification to facility leadership regarding the incident. The resident who made the allegation had a history of cerebral infarction, a closed fracture of the distal end of the left radius, and dementia. The accused resident also had a history of stroke and dementia. The incident involved the first resident expressing discomfort about another resident holding her hand and making unwanted advances, which she relayed to her daughter and was overheard by staff. Despite this, staff did not observe any physical resistance or discomfort prior to the phone call, and there was no documentation in the accused resident's chart regarding the incident. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of timely education and awareness regarding abuse reporting requirements. Several staff members, including registered nurses and certified nursing assistants, indicated that they had only recently received or signed off on abuse reporting education, some on the day of the survey. The DON and NHA also provided inconsistent information about the reporting timeframe, with the DON stating a 24-hour window if there was no immediate danger or injury, contrary to the facility's policy and federal requirements for 2-hour reporting in cases involving abuse.
Failure to Address Sexually Inappropriate Behaviors in Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive, resident-centered care plan addressing all of a resident's needs, specifically omitting a care plan for sexually inappropriate behaviors. The resident in question had a documented history of occasional sexually inappropriate behaviors, as noted in the medical record and acknowledged by a family member during a care plan conference. Despite this, the resident's comprehensive care plan did not include any interventions or strategies to address these behaviors. The facility's policy requires that the comprehensive plan of care be maintained and updated in the electronic medical record to reflect the resident's current status and goals, with reviews at least quarterly or as needed. The responsible RN confirmed during an interview that, although she attended the care plan conference and was aware of the concerns, she did not update the care plan to include the issue of sexual inappropriateness or related interventions. This omission was identified during a review of the resident's care plan with the surveyor.
Failure to Notify Physician of Resident's Low Blood Pressure While on Metoprolol
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to promptly notify and consult with a physician when a resident experienced consistently low blood pressure while taking Metoprolol, a medication known to lower blood pressure. Despite the resident's history of hypertension, COPD requiring continuous oxygen, and a recent hospital discharge for transient hypotension and C. diff infection, the facility continued to administer Metoprolol without informing the physician of multiple low blood pressure readings. The resident's blood pressure readings were frequently below the facility's EHR low parameter of 90/60 mm Hg, with several instances of systolic blood pressure below 90, which should have triggered clinician notification according to INTERACT guidelines and the facility's own policy. The EHR system flagged these readings as low, but no notification was made to the physician. The Director of Nursing stated that there were no specific blood pressure parameters for the resident and expected nurses to use their judgment, but was unaware of the EHR's set parameters. The physician confirmed that she had not been notified of the low blood pressures and would have expected to be informed if the systolic blood pressure dropped below 100. The facility was aware of the resident's low blood pressure readings, continued to administer Metoprolol, and did not communicate these findings to the physician, resulting in a failure to follow the facility's policy for notification of changes in a resident's condition.
Failure to Conduct Routine Diabetic Foot Checks
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with type 2 diabetes mellitus received routine diabetic foot checks in accordance with professional standards of practice. The resident's medical record lacked documentation of daily diabetic foot checks, which are recommended by the American Diabetes Association to be conducted daily with a comprehensive exam annually. The absence of a facility policy for diabetic foot checks contributed to this oversight. Interviews with facility staff, including an RN, ADON, and DON, revealed that diabetic foot checks were not being performed daily as required. Instead, weekly skin checks were conducted on shower days. The staff acknowledged the deficiency, with the ADON and DON confirming that the standard practice should involve daily checks. This lack of adherence to the standard practice led to the deficiency identified by the surveyor.
Failure to Maintain Resident's Nutritional Status
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident, identified as R29, maintained acceptable nutritional status, resulting in a significant weight loss. R29, who has a diagnosis of dementia and severe cognitive impairment, experienced a weight loss of 6.78% over one month. The facility's policy required that significant weight changes be reported to a physician, but this was not done. The registered dietitian (RD) and registered nurses (RNs) did not notify the physician of the weight changes, nor did they conduct necessary assessments or implement interventions. The RD acknowledged reviewing weights but did not alert the physician to the changes, and the RNs failed to conduct assessments or notify the physician despite noticing a 5-pound weight difference. The facility's documentation showed gaps in weight monitoring, with no weights recorded between 10/29/24 and 11/24/24, and no evidence of interventions being implemented. The medical director, MD I, confirmed that he was not notified of the weight changes and acknowledged the oversight. The facility's failure to assess, notify the physician, and implement nutritional interventions for R29's significant weight loss constitutes a deficiency in maintaining the resident's nutritional status.
Failure to Adhere to Antibiotic Stewardship Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its antibiotic stewardship program, which is designed to ensure appropriate antibiotic prescribing practices. This deficiency was identified through the review of two residents, R11 and R186, who were treated with antibiotics for urinary tract infections (UTIs) without meeting the necessary criteria. R11 was administered amoxicillin despite a urine culture showing a colony count below the threshold required to confirm a UTI, and the resident did not exhibit symptoms such as dysuria or fever. Similarly, R186 was treated with cephalexin for a UTI based on symptoms of strong urine, which does not meet the criteria for antibiotic treatment according to McGeers Criteria, despite having a high colony count in the urine culture. The facility's policy on antimicrobial stewardship, which includes following the Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship as recommended by the CDC and CMS, was not followed. The Infection Preventionist and Assistant Director of Nursing acknowledged that the criteria for antibiotic treatment were not met for both residents. The facility's failure to monitor and report antimicrobial susceptibility trends and ensure compliance with antibiotic use protocols contributed to the inappropriate administration of antibiotics, as evidenced by the surveyor's interviews and record reviews.
