The state of Oklahoma and Medicare.com routinely update their comprehensive list of deficiencies online to reflect all violations
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 one out of five stars for quality measures.
The nursing home “failed to provide supervision to prevent falls and implement new interventions to prevent further falls for [two residents] who were reviewed for falls.” In one incident, resident “had two falls in two days and sustained a fractured arm, a laceration to her nose that requires seven sutures to close, and two closed head injuries.”
A Nurse’s Note dated October 25, 2018, at 5:41 PM noted that the resident “fell out of her wheelchair onto the floor in the facility’s lobby at 3:15 PM that day. The note documented the resident was bleeding from an abrasion on her right forehead.
Documentation shows that the resident “had been sent to the emergency room for evaluation at 3:30 PM.” The emergency room stated that the resident had “a closed head injury without a concussion, neck strain, and a proximal humeral fracture.”
According to state investigators, “the facility failed to implement their Abuse Policy to ensure reference checks were performed for six [employees].” The failure involved two Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), and four Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs). The deficient practice by the nursing staff and administration “had the potential to affect all seventy-one residents who resided in the facility.”
The surveyors reviewed the employee files and found six employees that had “no documentation of reference checks having been completed.” The surveyors interviewed the Human Resource Director and asked, “where the reference checks were documented. She stated she only documented bad references [and] if she obtained a good reference; she did not document anything.” The Director stated to the surveyor said she was not aware of the facility’s policies and procedures for performing reference checks.
