- Failure to Protect Every Resident from All Forms of Abuse, Physical Punishment or Being Separated from Others – citation #F223 date November 2, 2017
- Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care to Prevent the Development of New Bedsores – citation #F686 date October 11, 2018
According to state investigators, “the facility failed to ensure [one resident] was free from physical and verbal abuse by contract that staff.” The deficient practice affected one resident “reviewed for abuse.”
Documentation shows that actual harm occurred to the resident “when during treatment, the contracted dentist grabbed the resident’s face, forced her mouth open and removed a denture mold from her mouth. The dentist also called [the resident] a derogatory name with both acts resulting in extreme agitation from [the resident].”
A nurse, a dental assistant and a State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) were present in the room with the resident at the time of the incident when the dentist was attempting to remove a wax mold from the top of the resident’s mouth while the resident held the bottom part of the mold in their hand. The resident refused to give the mold back. At that time, the dentist “aggressively grabbed a wax mold out of the resident’s hand.
When the resident, “screamed for the dentist to get away from her, [the dentist] aggressively grabbed a wax mold out of the resident’s hand.” Next, the dentist “aggressively, and with unnecessary force, grabbed the top wax mold out of the resident’s mouth, causing the resident to become very agitated.”
The staff returned the resident to the secured unit and calmed the resident down “using therapeutic talking and color activities. The resident’s daughter was notified.”
The facility “failed to ensure pressure-relieving interventions were implemented [for a resident] as per the resident’s Physician’s orders.” The survey team reviewed the resident’s Current Risk for Pressure Ulcer Care Plan [that] indicated to elevate the resident’s heels always except at meals.”
The surveyors observed the resident while lying in bed “with her eyes closed. The resident’s heels were observed not elevated at the time.” The surveyors interviewed a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who “verified the resident did not have elevated [heels] while in bed as per the Physician’s orders.”
The nursing home was reminded of their Pressure Ulcer Policy dated February 2008 “to use heel protectors to relieve pressure on the heels. Staff might also place pillows under the calf to raise the heels off the bed.”
