Health deficiencies cited at Morning Star Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with vascular dementia was transferred to the ER due to aggressive behavior. Despite the hospital's clearance for return, the facility refused re-admission, citing safety concerns and inability to meet care needs. The family was informed post-transfer, and the facility did not assist in finding alternative placement. The resident was later discharged to another facility and passed away.
A facility failed to assist a resident with financial matters by not completing an LT101 form for Medicaid, despite being informed of a submitted Medicaid application. The resident's family was left to handle the copay, and the oversight was confirmed after the resident's death.
Failure to Re-admit Resident After Hospital Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident who was transferred to the hospital was allowed to return, which constitutes a deficiency in handling hospital transfers. The resident, who was admitted for short-term rehabilitation, exhibited aggressive behavior towards staff and other residents, leading to their transfer to the emergency room. The facility staff, including the nurse manager and RN, decided to send the resident to the ER after an incident where the resident was violent, attempting to hit and spit at staff and other residents. Law enforcement was involved due to the resident's aggression, and the resident was eventually transported to the hospital. After the resident was transferred to the hospital, the facility received communication from the hospital indicating that the resident was ready to return, as the aggressive behaviors were not present in the ER. However, the facility's administrator decided not to readmit the resident, citing safety concerns for other residents and staff, and the inability to meet the resident's needs due to their vascular dementia. The family was informed of this decision only after they attempted to arrange the resident's return, and the facility did not assist in finding an alternative placement for the resident. Interviews with facility staff, including the RN, nurse manager, and social services director, confirmed that the decision not to readmit the resident was made by the administrator. The resident's family was not informed of the discharge until they visited the facility to collect the resident's belongings. The resident was eventually discharged to another skilled nursing facility, where they passed away shortly after. The facility's failure to provide adequate documentation and communication regarding the resident's discharge and refusal to readmit constitutes a deficiency in their handling of hospital transfers.
Failure to Assist with Financial Matters for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide medically-related social services to assist with financial matters for a resident, leading to a deficiency. The resident was admitted to the facility and had a planned short-term discharge to a general hospital. However, the facility did not complete an LT101 form for Medicaid, which was necessary for the resident's financial eligibility. The resident's son was informed of this oversight after the resident's death, and it was confirmed by the facility that the LT101 had not been completed. Further investigation revealed that the facility did not request the LT101 because the resident was not on Medicaid, despite the resident's daughter notifying the facility that a Medicaid application had been submitted. Communication with Medicaid confirmed that an application had been received, but the facility failed to request the LT101 completion. The social services director acknowledged that the LT101 was not submitted, and the resident's family had agreed to pay the copay, indicating a lack of coordination and follow-through in handling the resident's financial matters.
