The federal government and Nevada Department of Public Health website update comprehensive information containing historical details of all citations and violations.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, three out of five stars for staffing issues, and two out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to ensure a resident-to-resident altercation involving a vulnerable person, which resulted in bodily injury, was reported to law enforcement and the State Licensing Agency,” as required by law.
The investigators determined that “failure to report this kind of incident could result in the lack of protection to a vulnerable person and recurrence or aggravation of the injuries. Resident vulnerability is based on risk factors including the individual resident’s functional status, medical condition, cognitive abilities, mood, and health treatments.”
The Nursing Progress Note documented that one resident approached another resident and “was confronted about taking money from a third resident.” The first resident attempted to grab the second resident’s belongings when the second resident struck the first resident “on the right side of the head.”
The nursing staff assessed the injured resident, performed neurological checks and applied ice. Staff immediately separated the residents and the aggressive resident was “escorted out of the facility, since he/she signed a leave against medical advice (AMA)” form.
The nursing staff called a Nurse Practitioner and documented in the Nursing Notes that the resident was experiencing pain, nausea, and drowsiness. The resident had “a purple area under the right side.” The Nurse Practitioner ordered the resident to be transferred to an acute care facility.
The results of a CT scan revealed the resident had a zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture in the craniofacial area of the face.
In a separate summary statement of deficiencies, dated August 17, 2018, the facility “failed to report two incidents of resident-to-resident altercations.” In one case, a resident “was involved in a verbal altercation and swung at another resident, hitting that resident in the arm and threatening to hit another.”
The aggressive resident “was cussing, yelling, threatening and was removed from the area.” The Director acknowledged “the resident-to-resident altercation on July 4, 2018, was not reported to the Administrator/Abuse Coordinator and the State Survey Agency and should have been.”
