According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of two out of five stars, including two 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 that the nursing home “failed to ensure policies and procedures were implemented related to an injury of an unknown source for [one resident].” The investigation involved a moderately, cognitively impaired resident who “requires extensive assistance for most activities of daily living.”
A review of the Change of Condition Note indicated that the resident “was found on the floor in his room, confused and disoriented to time, place, person, and situation.” The note indicated that the resident sustained injuries.
The Nursing Note documented at the same time that the resident “had a red area on his right forehead, two skin tears to the right arm, and was restless.” The notation indicates that the resident was in bed the morning after “a change of shift, and about one hour later was crawling on the floor.”
The documentation shows that the resident was pulling at his Foley catheter in a confused state and was “asking if he had school tomorrow and was attempting to get out of bed.” Approximately three hours later, a subsequent Nurse Note revealed that the resident “had a second abrasion to the right elbow and a bump with redness to the right side of his forehead. The note included the resident was confused and disoriented.”
Later that morning, the resident was transported to the hospital to receive a head scan as a result of the fall, “which left a laceration to his right eyebrow.” The investigators determined that “no evidence was found that an investigation was conducted [by the facility] or that the results of the investigation were submitted to the State Agency” as required by law.
There “was also no evidence that the injury of the unknown source was reported to the required agencies.” A staff member stated that if a resident sustained falls the staff member would notify the Director of Nursing to conduct an investigation and notify the appropriate agencies and the police.
