Health deficiencies cited at The Center At Val Vista, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions was found with hydrocortisone cream and vapor rub at their bedside without a prior self-medication evaluation or physician's order for self-administration. Staff interviews confirmed that the required assessment and authorization process had not been completed before the medications were left in the room, contrary to facility policy.
A resident's hearing aids were lost upon admission, and the facility failed to provide adequate assistance or follow proper procedures to locate them. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses including cognitive impairment and hearing loss, was observed to be tearfully distraught and had difficulty hearing. Staff interviews and facility policies revealed inconsistencies in handling personal property, leading to a deficiency in safeguarding the resident's medical assistive devices.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment was found self-administering medications not ordered by the physician, including Triphala, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K, and a calcium supplement. The facility failed to conduct a self-administration assessment or obtain proper authorization, leading to potential safety hazards.
Failure to Assess and Secure Medications for Self-Administration
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident with a history of encephalopathy, type 2 diabetes mellitus, anxiety disorder, depressive episodes, hypertension, and dementia was found to have medications left at their bedside without proper assessment for self-administration. The resident's care plan indicated cognitive impairment and a need for assistance and reminders, and the Minimum Data Set (MDS) showed moderately impaired cognition with partial to moderate assistance required for personal hygiene. Despite these factors, two medications—hydrocortisone cream and vapor rub—were observed on the resident's bedside table during a survey observation. Interviews with staff revealed that there was no prior self-medication evaluation for the hydrocortisone cream, and the medication was left in the resident's room without a physician's order or interdisciplinary team assessment for self-administration. The LPN present was unaware that the medications were in the room and stated that she would take steps to label and obtain an order for the medication only after the surveyor's observation. Facility policy requires that medications be administered as prescribed and that self-administration is only permitted after an interdisciplinary team determines it is clinically appropriate and safe. The DON confirmed that the process for self-administration includes obtaining a physician's order, conducting an evaluation, and updating the care plan, and that medications should not be left at the bedside unless these steps are completed. The LPN also stated that medications should not be left at the bedside without an order for self-administration, citing safety concerns. The failure to assess the resident's ability to self-administer hydrocortisone cream and to secure the medication as per policy led to the deficiency.
Failure to Protect Resident's Medical Assistive Property
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure reasonable care for the protection of a resident's medical assistive property from loss or theft. Resident #219, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including cognitive communication deficit and hearing impairment, reported that her hearing aids were lost upon admission. Despite informing the nursing staff, the resident received minimal assistance, and her hearing aids were not located. The resident was observed to be tearfully distraught and had difficulty hearing without her hearing aids, which were essential for her daily living and communication needs. The resident's care plan indicated the use of hearing aids, but the facility's policy and staff interviews revealed inconsistencies in handling personal property. The facility's policy stated that personal property is the patient's responsibility, and staff recommended that valuables be sent home. However, there was no inventory taken for personal property, and the facility did not have a clear procedure for addressing the loss of medical assistive devices. Interviews with staff members indicated a lack of clarity and consistency in reporting and managing missing items. The Director of Nursing (DON) presented documentation and staff interviews suggesting that the resident did not have her hearing aids upon admission, but this was contradicted by the resident's statements and observations. The DON's response to the potential citation was dismissive and unprofessional. The facility's failure to properly manage and safeguard the resident's hearing aids resulted in a deficiency that compromised the resident's ability to communicate and maintain a homelike environment.
Failure to Prevent Unauthorized Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was free from the accident hazard of self-administering medications not ordered by the physician. Resident #42, who was admitted with a hip fracture, Deep Venous Thrombosis Prophylaxis, and a history of breast cancer, was observed with a pill box and various medications in her room that were not prescribed by the facility's physician. Despite having moderate cognitive impairment, as indicated by a score of 10 on the Brief Interview for Mental Status, the resident had been taking these medications, which included Triphala, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K, and a calcium supplement, without proper authorization or assessment for self-administration capability. Interviews with the resident, her husband, and facility staff revealed that there was no documented self-administration assessment or physician's order for the resident to self-administer these medications. The resident's husband had brought the medications from home, and the resident claimed that the facility's doctor had seen the medications and approved their use, although this was not documented. The RN and DON confirmed that the medications were not authorized and that the husband had been educated about not bringing medications into the facility. The facility's policy on self-administration of medications requires that residents be assessed for their ability to self-administer medications safely, receive education about medication safety, and store medications securely. However, these procedures were not followed in the case of Resident #42, leading to the potential risk of medication contraindications and other safety hazards. The DON acknowledged the importance of knowing what medications a resident is taking to ensure patient safety and prevent adverse reactions or interactions.
