- Failure to Provide Every Resident an Environment Free of Accident Hazards and Provide Adequate Supervision to Prevent Avoidable Accidents – citation date February 26, 2018
- Failure to Implement Gradual Dose Reductions and Nonpharmacological Interventions to Minimize or Eliminate the Use of Psychotropic Medications – citation date February 26, 2018
According to investigators, “the facility failed to provide adequate supervision and assistance to prevent falls, and failed to assess, implement and monitor interventions consistent with the resident’s needs.” Specifically, “the facility failed to provide adequate supervision to ensure [a resident] did not ambulate without his rolling walker.”
The surveyors reviewed documentation involving the newly admitted resident who “fell twice in approximately one month, with the second fall resulting in a large hematoma over his left side.” Surveyors observed the resident just after noon on February 20, 2018, in the Transitional Care Unit dining room. There was a noticeable large, colorful bruise above his left eye.
A few minutes later, the resident was observed “walking without his walker.” A staff member “intervened by verbally reminding the resident to use his walker.” A few hours later, the resident was observed lying sideways on his bed “with his feet on the floor. He had a questioning look on his face and asked if it was time to get up yet.”
A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) “was at her medication cart, which was located immediately outside of the resident’s room. She was passing medications and did not notice the resident positioned partially off his bed. There was nothing on the resident’s door by his name alerting the staff that this resident was a fall risk.”
The nursing home “failed to properly assess indications for the use” of antipsychotic medications. The nursing home also failed to “properly monitor the efficacy, identify possible adverse consequences, and investigate or implement behavior interventions” for the use of the drug.
Specifically, “the facility failed to comprehensively assess the indications for the use of antipsychotic and hypnotic medications. Also, the facility failed to monitor possible adverse effects and potential outcomes such as falls and failed to monitor behaviors or hours of sleep.”
