- Failure to Report and Investigate Any Acts or Reports of Abuse, Neglect or Mistreatment of Residents – citation #F225 date November 10, 2016
- Failure to Notify the Resident’s Doctor or Responsible Party of a Decline in the Resident’s Health – citation #F580 date June 27, 2018
The nursing home “failed to immediately report an allegation of mistreatment to the Administrator.” The incident was documented in a self-reported incident report in a statement written by in State-Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA). The document states that “she overheard [another STNA] talking rudely to [the resident] as she approached the room to provide assistance. She reported the occurrence to [a nurse on duty].”
However, there is “no evidence the Administrator was notified until two days later. The surveyors interviewed the Administrator who verified that the nurse “should have reported the allegation immediately. She further stated the facility began their investigation.”
According to investigators, “the facility failed to notify the Physician of medications not being available for three residents. The facility further failed to notify the Physician promptly of one resident’s change in health condition.”
A review of a resident’s Medication Administration Records (MAR) indicates that they had a Physician’s orders to receive an antibiotic. However, there is documentation that shows that the medication administration was not signed off as given and no note in the MAR. Additionally, there was “no evidence of Physician was made aware that the medication was not being given.”
A review of the resident’s Nurse’s Notes revealed that the resident “was upset because an IV antibiotic was not at the facility and was concerned her infection would spread.” The note reveals that the nurse “heard the resident tell other residents, ‘you want to go to the emergency room for pain pills’”.
The note states that the nurse asked the resident “if she was in pain, and she said, ‘Yes, and my bones.’ The nurse asked [the resident] if she wanted to call her Physician to get an order [for medications].”
The resident responded that “she wanted her Peripheral Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) line out because she was not getting proper care at the facility. There was no evidence of Physician was made aware [that the resident’s] continuous schedule antibiotic was not available” for administration.
