According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including one out of five stars concerning health inspections, two 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 ensure an allegation of abuse was fully investigated for [a resident].” The allegation of verbal abuse occurred between a resident and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). The “self-report lacked documentation of a final investigation report.” The Facility Administrator and Social Worker were “not able to locate the final investigation report.”
This deficient practice violated the facility’s policy titled: Abuse Investigations revised in 2010. The document indicates “all reports of resident abuse, neglect, and injuries of an unknown source will be thoroughly and promptly investigated by facility management. The results of the investigation would be recorded on approved documentation forms.”
The “facility failed to ensure the environment remained as free from accident hazards as [is] possible.” The surveyors observed a “12-ounce plastic bottle completely filled with a light blue liquid on a nightstand adjacent to the middle bed in Room 227, which had three beds. The bottle was equipped with a spray nozzle and was labeled [as a] glass cleaner.”
During the observation, while one “resident was sleeping in the middle bed, the other two residents were not in the room.” A Charge Nurse verified that “the bottle contained glass cleaner and should not have been in a place accessible to residents.”
The nursing home “failed to ensure a background screening was performed on employees every five years, per facility policy.” The investigation involved two employee files.
In one case, an employee’s file “lacked documented evidence of the Nevada Automated Background Screening Clearance” that needed to be obtained on or after November 15, 2018. In a separate case, another employee file lacked documented evidence that the background screening check had been performed on or after March 23, 2013.
