According to state investigators, “the facility did not provide documentation that verified [two employees] who were hired in the last four months were [not on] to the New York State Nurse Aide Registry [and] had been screened through the New York State Nurse Aide Registry [before] their employment.”
In a separate summary statement dated July 18, 2018, the nursing home “did not develop and implement written policies and procedures for screening employees, that would prohibit, [as well as] prevent abuse and neglect. Specifically, the facility did not provide documentation [that] the verified [fourteen employees] were [included] to the New York State Nurse Aide Registry and had been screened [before] their employment.”
The nursing home “did not ensure the residents received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice, the Comprehensice Person-Centered Care Plan, and the resident’s choices.” One resident reviewed for quality of care “had an issue with a lack of a Registered Nurse’s (RN) Assessment of a resident who experience an unwitnessed fall from the bed.”
The investigation involved a severely, cognitively impaired resident who “was sometimes understood, and sometimes understands. The resident requires extensive staff assistance for bed mobility, toilet use, personal hygiene, dressing, eating, and total staff assistance for transfers. The resident did not ambulate.”
A review of the Progress Note dated June 10, 2018, just before dinner time, revealed that in Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) “found the resident lying on her [fall mat] on the left side of the bed.” The resident had “her pillow and blanket. The bed was in the low position. The resident had been napping after lunch. No injuries were noted at this time.”
The nursing staff notified the Medical Doctor and the resident’s family as well as completed an accident and incident report.” However, “there was no evidence of a complete head to toe assessment [after] the resident had an unwitnessed fall.”
