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 four out of five stars for quality measures.
The state investigators determined the nursing home "failed to provide residents an environment free from abuse, neglect, or exploitation.” The investigation involved a resident “with severe cognitive impairment, who is incontinent of bowel and bladder and total dependence for transfers with a two-person assist.”
The facility Reportable Event Form from July 1, 2019, identified a Nurse Aide had become “frustrated and moved [the resident’s] foot with his/her foot and then stepped on the foot of [the resident] during a ‘Sara lift’ transfer.”
Another Nurse Aide indicated that “he/she reported this information to the Director of Nursing and the investigating police officer.” The Physical Therapist at the facility identified that he/she “would never expect anyone to hold someone’s foot in place with their foot and if the staff member was having trouble with the transfer, he/she would expect the staff member to request a consult for physical therapy to assist and evaluate the resident for transferring.”
The “facility failed to conduct preventative maintenance to ensure equipment was functional or safe.” This investigation involved a cognitively intact resident who “requires extensive assistance of one person for bed mobility, transfers, dressing, toilet use, personal hygiene, and bathing.”
Documentation at the facility dated March 17, 2019, indicated that the resident “had finished showering, was getting ready to be transferred back to his/her room and was sitting in a shower chair. The shower chair gave way, causing him/her to land on his/her buttocks on the floor.”
As a result of the accident, the resident “obtained a right forearm skin tear” and a skin tear “to the back of his/her right hand.” The resident identified that “he/she had utilized the shower chair the entire time he/she had been at the facility [and] never had an issue.”
