Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Braxton Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Staff did not provide a dignified dining experience, as some residents at the same table received their meals at different times, with delays up to 23 minutes and one resident leaving without being served. Additionally, an LPN entered a room without knocking or announcing, and a nurse assisted a resident with a meal while standing, rather than sitting as expected.
A resident did not receive the required SNF Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) regarding Medicare/Medicaid coverage and potential liability for non-covered services in a timely manner. The notice was only completed and sent after surveyors requested documentation during the annual survey, as confirmed by the NHA during an internal audit.
A resident's PASARR was not updated after new diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease and non-Alzheimer's dementia were added to their medical record. The initial PASARR only reflected major depression, and despite updated documentation showing additional diagnoses, the required reassessment was not completed. The NHA was unaware that these changes necessitated a new PASARR.
Two residents were receiving sensory and one-on-one activities that were not documented in their care plans, despite records and staff confirmation that these services were being provided. The care plans included general activity interventions but failed to specify the individualized activities actually delivered.
A resident's behavior monitoring was not properly documented by nursing staff on three separate day shifts, despite CNA records indicating that monitoring had occurred. The DON confirmed the missing documentation in the official behavior monitoring record, which was expected to be completed by nurses.
Failure to Ensure Dignified Dining and Resident Privacy
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to promote a dignified dining experience for multiple residents during meal service. Observations revealed that residents seated together at the same table did not receive their meals at the same time, resulting in significant delays for some individuals. For example, one resident left the dining room without being served, while others waited up to 23 minutes after their tablemates had been served. Staff continued to serve other tables before returning to serve all residents at a given table. These actions were confirmed by interviews with facility staff and the administrator. Additional deficiencies were observed regarding resident privacy and respectful communication. An LPN was seen entering a resident room without knocking or announcing himself on two separate occasions, only knocking after already being inside and interacting with the residents. Furthermore, a nurse was observed standing while assisting a resident with their meal in bed, contrary to expected practice. These findings were confirmed through staff interviews and direct observation.
Failure to Provide Timely SNF ABN Notification
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide timely notification to a resident or the resident's representative regarding Medicare/Medicaid coverage and potential liability for non-covered services. Specifically, the SNF Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN), Form CMS-10055, was not completed or sent to the resident until prompted by surveyors during the annual survey process. This deficiency was identified for one of three residents reviewed, where the required notice was only provided after the surveyor requested the SNF Beneficiary Notification Review form. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed that this lapse was discovered during an internal audit of ABNs.
Failure to Update PASARR Following New Dementia Diagnoses
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the preadmission screening and resident review (PASARR) was updated and completed when new diagnoses of Dementia (Non-Alzheimer's) and Alzheimer's disease were added for a resident. Record review showed that the resident's initial PASARR only included a diagnosis of major depression, with no indication of dementia or Alzheimer's. However, subsequent medical documentation and the most recent MDS assessment listed active diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease, non-Alzheimer's dementia, anxiety disorder, and depression. Despite these new diagnoses, the PASARR was not updated as required. During an interview, the Nursing Home Administrator was unaware that the addition of dementia and Alzheimer's diagnoses should have triggered a new PASARR assessment.
Care Plans Omitted Documented Sensory and One-on-One Activities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the care plans for two residents accurately reflected the sensory and one-on-one activities they were receiving. For one resident, activity participation records showed that the individual had received one-on-one activities six times and sensory activities twelve times over a 30-day period. However, a review of the resident's care plan revealed that neither one-on-one nor sensory activities were included as interventions, despite the resident's dependence on staff for activities, cognitive stimulation, or social interaction due to cardiac disease. The Activities Director confirmed that these activities were being provided but were omitted from the care plan. Similarly, another resident's care plan did not include one-on-one activities, even though activity preference records indicated a preference for weekly one-on-one sessions. The care plan listed general interventions such as assisting with transport, ensuring compatibility of activities, and providing materials of interest, but did not specifically address the one-on-one activities being provided. Both the Administrator and Activities Director confirmed that residents receiving one-on-one activities should have these interventions documented in their care plans.
Failure to Accurately Document Behavior Monitoring
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately document the completion of behavior monitoring for one resident who was reviewed for unnecessary medications. During a 90-day review period, it was found that behavior monitoring records were missing for three specific day shifts. Although the Director of Nursing confirmed the absence of documentation in the behavior monitoring record for those dates, she was able to provide CNA documentation indicating that behavior monitoring had taken place. The expectation was that nurses would complete the required documentation appropriately, but this was not done for the identified dates. This deficiency was identified during a survey that reviewed five residents for unnecessary medications, with a facility census of 65 at the time.
