According to investigators, “the facility failed to notify the medical doctor after a resident [was diagnosed with a condition].” The surveyors reviewed the resident’s Care Plan for “a therapeutic diet for diabetes.”
The Care Plan goal “was that the resident will have no significant weight changes. Interventions include, but were not limited to, monitor weight and to notify the Medical Doctor and family of significant weight changes.”
The surveyors noted that there were numerous days over many months or there was no weight documentation. On April 19, 2017, the resident weighed 348 pounds (a 7-pound weight gain).” During that time, there was no documentation indicating that the doctor was notified.
By April 26, 2017, the resident weighed 343.5 pounds and the next day weighed 347 pounds or a “3.5 pounds weight gain. Documentation indicated the doctor was not notified.”
The nursing home “failed to assess a pressure wound for [one resident].” The resident’s April 14, 2017, Care Plan indicated that the resident “had a Stage I pressure wound to the sacrum and the staff would assess the wound weekly and document the measurements and the description of the wound.”
The wound notes indicate that “measurements for the Stage I pressure ulcer to the sacrum were completed on April 14, 2017, April 18, 2017, and April 25, 2017.” However, the Nurse Consultant indicated “there were no wound measurements completed after April 25, 2017, and should have been completed weekly including May 2, 2017, and May 9, 2017.”
The facility “failed to ensure a resident’s room was free of accident hazards and failed to complete smoking risk assessments.” The nursing home also “failed to follow facility policy regarding the type of electronic cigarettes allowed in the facility.”
The state surveyors observed a six plug power strip that controlled a resident’s tabletop fan and an electronic cigarettes charger plugged into it that was laying on the foot of her bed. At that time, the resident “indicated she kept it [the power strip] in bed at all times including while she slept so she could reach it easier. She indicated she checked before she goes to make sure it is okay.”
The resident indicated that “she did not want on the floor due to housekeeping may get wet with the mop and ruin my electronic cigarettes charger.”
