The state of Texas and the federal government regularly updates its long-term care home database system with complete details of all deficiencies, citations, and violations.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of two out of five stars, including three out of five stars concerning health inspections, three out of five stars for staffing issues and four out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined that the nursing home “failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections.”
Specifically, a Licensed Vocational Nurse failed to don gloves during the administration of medication to the resident. These failures “placed twenty residents who resided on Hall 400 and received care from [the Licensed Nurse] by placing them at risk for cross-contamination and the spread of infection.”
The nursing home “failed to immediately consult with the resident’s physician when there was a significant change in the resident’s condition or need to alter treatment significantly.”
Additionally, “backspace a Licensed Vocational Nurse “failed to intervene and report immediately change in condition for [the resident] after the resident developed vomiting, abdominal pain, and bleeding.” Also, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) “failed to ensure the head of the bed for [the resident] remained elevated to a thirty-two read to 45° angle per facility policy. The resident developed vomiting and aspirated.”
As a result of the negligent actions, the resident was transported to the hospital “due to a change in condition” and expired. The state surveyors determined that these failures were “a past noncompliance due to the facility having implemented actions the correct the noncompliance [before] the beginning of the survey. These failures place residents at risk for not receiving the necessary interventions to treat their specific conditions or diagnoses.”
A review of an-services reflected that all nursing staff had been trained on “physician notification with resident changes in status, abuse, neglect, and elevating the bed from 30° and 45°” when medically necessary.
