According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and three out of five stars for quality measures.
According to investigators, “the facility failed to notify the Physician for treatment orders with parameters.” This deficient practice affected two residents “reviewed for notification of a change.”
The investigative team reviewed the resident’s Comprehensive Care Plan that showed that the resident “had alterations and blood glucose due to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. She had an intervention to report abnormal results per the Physician’s parameter and guidelines.” However, many notations were made with the resident had significantly higher blood glucose levels.
A review of the resident’s Nurse’s Notes for three days between November 17, 2018, and November 20, 2018 “lacked any documentation the Physician was notified of the increased blood glucose as ordered.” Actual harm “occurred to [the resident] when there was a delay in treatment when she had to be hospitalized.”
The facility “failed to provide supervision to [a resident] who was nonverbal, and intellectual disabilities and would wander about the facility unclothed.” This deficient practice affected one of three residents reviewed for wandering.
The surveyors reviewed the resident’s Nursing Progress Notes dated between September 10, 2018, and September 20, 2018, that revealed the resident “would wander the hallways unclothed or would just a brief on and he would have to be redirected by staff.” The documentation shows that the resident’s “mother was in to visit and was updated about his behavior and she explained he was used to having a one on one caregiver.
A note documented that the resident “would attend to get ‘thin’ water from the nurse cart all afternoon it was redirected to the thickened water in his room and he would not drink.” One note documented that the resident “became agitated and scene frustrated, he came to the nurse station and pointed to his room, staff went to his room, and he pointed to the shower. The staff told him he would get a shower soon, [then followed] the staff out of the room and hit the staff member on the left shoulder and then went back to his room.”
