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 two out of five stars for quality measures.
According to state surveyors, “the facility failed to ensure a mobility bar to [the resident’s] bed was safely and securely attached.” The surveyors observed the resident’s open bed that revealed “the resident had a mobility bar to the left side of the bed. Observation revealed a 2-inch piece of white tape at the bottom of one side of the bar. The bar was loose, allowing the mobility bar to rotate 180°. The bed was against the wall, and no rail was present to the right side of the bed.”
A facility Registered Nurse (RN) “confirmed the mobility bar to the left side of the resident’s bed was not correctly attached, rotated 180°, and was not secured.” The surveyors documented that “this deficiency as an example of continued noncompliance from the survey dated August 9, 2017.”
The nursing home “failed to ensure [two residents] were offered the pneumococcal immunizations and failed to immunize a resident who requested a pneumococcal immunization.” In one incident, a resident consented to pneumococcal immunization. However, “record review revealed no evidence that the immunization was administered as requested.”
A second resident’s Power of Attorney “refused the influenza vaccine. However, the Vaccine Administration Information Form “did not indicate whether the pneumococcal vaccine had been offered, if [the resident] had previously received the vaccine, or if [the resident’s] Power of Attorney refused the pneumococcal vaccine” on behalf of the resident.
The facility “failed to mean acceptable infection control practices during incontinence care for [a resident] to prevent the spread of infection. The facility also failed to complete an assessment and develop a management program as required.”
