The Fayette County neglect attorneys at the Nursing Home Law Center have found serious deficiencies and safety concerns at Mayfair Manor Nursing Center that include:
According to the state surveyors, the nursing facility “failed to ensure each resident received adequate supervision and assistive devices to prevent accidents.” The nursing home also “failed to ensure staff transferred residents by the facility assessed required assistance” that resulted in a resident falling.
The incident involved a resident who was not able to “stand and pivoted” without assistance for transferring. The investigators performed an investigation over the incident and determined that the “resident’s bed was unlocked, and the resident slid out of bed, and a State Registered Nurse Aide (SRNA) assisted the resident down to [their] knees and down to the floor.”
The state investigators determined that the facility’s “failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary and comfortable environment.” The nursing facility also failed to “help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections.”
The incident involved a resident who received care from two State Registered Nurse Aides (SRNAs) who turned, repositioned and brought in a meal tray “without sanitizing or washing hands upon observation.
According to the investigators, the facility “failed to have an effective system in place to ensure an environment remain as free from accidents and hazards as possible area.” The survey team observed a “medication cart on the South Hall that was left unlocked and unattended.” Inside the medication cart was “a vial of insulin and three medication cups containing loose narcotic pain pills [that] were left on top of the cart.”
The surveyors say that the narcotic pain medications were “accessible to any resident who approached the cart.” A subsequent observation made two days later revealed that the medication cart was “unlocked and unattended in the North Hall nurse’s station.”
