According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and two out of five stars for quality measures.
According to state surveyors, “the facility failed to ensure a nurse providing care to the resident’s possessed a valid nursing license.” The deficient practice by the nursing staff “has the potential to affect all of the residents residing in the facility.”
The survey team reviewed the employee file for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) with a date of hire as March 26, 2018. The named the nurse used for licensed verification in the employee file “did not match the name of the nurse identified as an LPN.” The last name that the LPN “used on her employment application did not match the last name on the licensed verification in the file.”
The investigators reviewed the LPN’s employment verification form for Homeland Security. However, that LPN “did not list any other last names used on the form, the space was left blank.”
The nursing home “failed to conduct care conferences to involve residents and care planning.” The investigative team reviewed the resident’s Social Service Progress Notes that revealed: “no care conference had been conducted following [the resident’s] admission.”
The survey team interviewed the resident who stated that “the facility did not include her in decisions about her care and stated she had not had a care conference since admission.”
The facility Social Worker “verified there had not Medicare conference yet for [that resident]. She stated the facility used to conduct a care conference with a new resident within two weeks after admission, but [the Social Worker] was running behind and had not had a care conference yet.”
The nursing home “failed to ensure residents were not abused by other residents or staff.” The incident involved a cognitively impaired resident who required the “extensive assistance for all activities of daily living except eating.”
The survey team reviewed a resident’s Nursing Note that revealed: “the resident was noted to be going in and out of other female residents’ room that shift.” The resident “was redirected out of the rooms. It was noted that the resident was in the dining room with his arms around the female resident. The resident was immediately redirected away from the resident. No later in the day indicated the resident was sent out to a behavioral hospital.”
A review of the resident’s Care Plan reveal that the resident “exhibited inappropriate behaviors; the resident would try to touch staff and other residents’ breasts.”
