Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Advanced Healthcare Of Mesa during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to accurately complete a Discharge MDS for a resident, resulting in a discrepancy between the MDS and progress notes. The resident, admitted with multiple medical conditions, was discharged home with Home Health services, but the MDS incorrectly indicated a discharge to a hospital. Interviews revealed the RN/MDS Coordinator selected the wrong discharge option, contrary to facility expectations and policy.
The facility failed to provide written notification to two residents regarding the reason for their transfer to the hospital and did not send a copy to the ombudsman. The facility's practice was to verbally inform residents and families and notify the ombudsman at the end of the month without including the reason for the transfer.
The facility failed to notify two residents of the bed-hold policy upon transfer to the hospital. One resident was transferred after testing positive for Covid-19, and the other for possible sepsis. In both cases, there was no documentation of the bed-hold policy being provided, contrary to the facility's policy.
A facility failed to use appropriate hand hygiene and PPE when providing wound care for a resident with multiple pressure ulcers. An RN did not sanitize her hands after doffing soiled gloves and retrieved new gloves from her pocket beneath her gown, which could be contaminated. The DON confirmed these practices were not in line with the facility's policy.
Inaccurate MDS Completion for Resident Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly complete a Discharge Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for a resident, leading to a discrepancy between the MDS and the progress notes. The resident was admitted with several medical conditions, including surgical wound infections and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and was discharged home with Home Health services. However, the MDS inaccurately indicated that the resident had been discharged to a short-term general hospital, which was not the case. Interviews with the RN/MDS Coordinator and the Director of Nursing revealed that the MDS was completed incorrectly, with the wrong discharge option selected. The RN/MDS Coordinator acknowledged the inaccuracy, stating it was not in line with facility expectations. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident was discharged home and emphasized the importance of following the Medicare Guide for accurate assessments. The facility's policy requires staff to certify the accuracy of the assessments they complete, which was not adhered to in this instance.
Failure to Provide Written Notification for Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents were notified in writing regarding the reason for their transfer and that a copy of this notification was sent to the ombudsman. Resident #86, who was cognitively intact, was transferred to the emergency department after testing positive for COVID-19 and experiencing shortness of breath. Although the family was verbally informed, there was no written notification provided to the resident or the ombudsman. Similarly, Resident #26, who had mild cognitive impairment, was transferred to the hospital without receiving a written statement regarding the reason for the transfer or the bed hold policy. The resident confirmed during an interview that he did not receive any written notification. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and the Administrator revealed that the facility's practice was to verbally inform residents and their families about hospital transfers and to notify the ombudsman at the end of the month without including the reason for the transfer. The facility's policy states that residents and their representatives should be notified in writing about transfers or discharges, and a copy should be sent to the ombudsman. However, the facility admitted to not following this policy and acknowledged the need to develop a process to ensure compliance.
Failure to Notify Residents of Bed-Hold Policy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents were notified of the bed-hold policy upon transfer to the hospital. Resident #86, who was admitted with diagnoses including a periprosthetic fracture and chronic respiratory failure, was transferred to the emergency department after testing positive for Covid-19. Despite the family being notified about the hospital transfer and the facility's Covid-19 protocol, there was no documentation of a bed-hold policy being signed and dated by the resident or a family member. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the bed-hold policy is typically discussed with a family member in emergent situations, but it was unclear if this conversation was documented in a progress note. The Administrator stated that the resident would not have been given a bed-hold policy because the facility was not going to accept the resident back due to being Covid positive. Resident #26, who had diagnoses including benign prostatic hyperplasia and hypertensive heart disease, was transported to the hospital for possible sepsis. The clinical record did not reveal a bed-hold policy, and the resident confirmed that he did not receive a written statement regarding the bed-hold policy when transferred. The Director of Nursing mentioned that the bed-hold policy is given if feasible and discussed with a family member in emergent situations, but it was not clear if this was documented. The facility's policy states that written information about the bed-hold policy should be provided before a patient is transferred to a hospital or goes on therapeutic leave, which was not adhered to in these cases.
Inappropriate Hand Hygiene and PPE Use During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to use appropriate hand hygiene practices and personal protective equipment (PPE) when providing wound care for a resident with multiple pressure ulcers. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including dementia, a fracture of the left femur, and abnormalities of gait and mobility, had a care plan addressing impaired skin integrity. On November 7, 2023, a Registered Nurse (RN) was observed performing wound care on the resident's left heel without sanitizing her hands after doffing soiled gloves and before donning new gloves. Additionally, the RN retrieved new gloves from her pocket beneath her gown, which could be contaminated, further increasing the risk of infection. The RN acknowledged these actions during an interview on November 8, 2023, and the Director of Nursing confirmed that these practices were not in line with the facility's policy on hand hygiene and PPE use. The facility's policy on Isolation Procedures and Universal Precautions emphasizes that hand washing is the single most important procedure for preventing infections and is necessary before and after the removal of gloves and barriers. The RN's failure to sanitize her hands and the inappropriate retrieval of gloves from beneath her gown were identified as deficiencies that could result in infection. The Director of Nursing stated that the hands should be sanitized because the old gloves may be contaminated and that reaching underneath the gown to get gloves from the pocket creates the potential for contamination, as the inside of the gown could be contaminated by touching the staff's clothing.
