According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, four out of five stars for staffing issues and one out of five stars for quality measures.
According to state surveyors, the facility “failed to timely notify the Physician of changes in blood pressure, confusion, vaginal drainage, refusals to ambulate, changes in urine, and delayed urinalysis completion for [a resident].” The deficient practice resulted “in Amber/cloudy colored urine, hypotensive/hypertensive episodes, urinary tract infection with positive urine cultures.”
A review of the resident’s Progress Notes documented numerous changes in medical condition including generalized weakness, not feeling well, weakness with mobility, loose stools, refusing to get out of bed, refusing restorative ambulation, and a noted green discharge.”
Notations showed that the resident had “high heart rate, fever, shipping, or feeling very cold, confusion, disorientation, extreme pain or discomfort, and clammy or sweaty skin.” The resident was transferred to the local hospital via Emergency Medical Services (EMS) after being found lying on the floor at the nursing home. EMS began chest compressions before transportation to the hospital. The cause of death was determined “chronic urinary tract infection associated with adjacent abscess and localized peritonitis.”
The nursing home “failed to prevent [one resident] from involuntary seclusion resulting in psychosocial harm and resulting in [the resident] being fearful and potentially having psychosocial effects.” The incident involved a resident who displays “signs and symptoms of mood distress such as anxiety, restlessness, hallucinations, rejection of care and agitation.”
Documentation shows that a CNA stated that she did not know where the resident was who was found “screaming in a room.” A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) asked the CNA why “she put him back there.” The resident stated that he “did not know why he was put back there, was confused about his whereabouts asking how she got the key and thought he was locked in.”
Documentation shows that the resident “was sitting in his Broda chair, with the TV on, and no call light within reach.” The CNA said that “the room door was shut, and she had to unlatch it to open it.”
