Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Caleb Hitchcock Health Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and mobility needs suffered a minimally displaced distal ulnar fracture after a staff member, while providing incontinence care, forcefully pulled the resident by the wrist and shoulder. The staff member was reportedly frustrated and in a hurry, leading to improper handling that caused pain and injury, contrary to the resident's care plan and facility policy.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment sustained a wrist fracture during care when a nurse aide, reportedly frustrated and in a hurry, used excessive force to turn the resident. The incident was witnessed by another aide, who did not immediately report the event to nursing staff as required by facility policy. The delay in reporting the suspected abuse led to a deficiency finding.
Failure to Provide Gentle Care During Repositioning Results in Resident Injury
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to provide gentle care when repositioning a resident with severe cognitive impairment and a history of agitation and aggressive outbursts. The resident, who was dependent on staff for personal hygiene and bed mobility, required two staff members for care and specific interventions to prevent injury and agitation. During incontinence care, one nurse aide grasped the resident's shoulder and wrist and pulled the resident toward herself, despite the resident being slightly resistive and not following commands. The resident was observed to grimace during this interaction, and later assessment revealed swelling and bruising of the left hand, with an x-ray confirming a minimally displaced distal ulnar fracture. Interviews and documentation indicated that the nurse aide involved was in a hurry, became frustrated, and used excessive force while turning the resident. The aide's statements were inconsistent and did not clarify the specifics of the incident. The facility's policy defined abuse as the willful infliction of injury resulting in harm or pain, and the actions taken by the staff during this incident did not align with the required gentle and unhurried approach outlined in the resident's care plan.
Failure to Timely Report Suspected Abuse Following Resident Injury
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when staff failed to timely report an allegation of abuse involving a resident with severe cognitive impairment and significant care needs. The resident, diagnosed with dementia and dependent on staff for personal hygiene and mobility, was found to have a swollen and bruised left hand during morning care. Subsequent assessment and x-ray revealed a minimally displaced distal ulnar fracture. The incident took place during incontinence care provided by two nurse aides, one of whom was observed to have grabbed the resident's wrist and shoulder and pulled the resident toward her, causing the resident to grimace. Interviews and documentation indicated that one nurse aide was in a hurry and became frustrated during care, using excessive force to turn the resident, who was not following commands and was slightly resistive. The other aide present during the incident acknowledged that care should have been paused and reapproached later, and admitted that the nurse should have been notified immediately when the incident occurred. However, the incident was not reported to nursing staff at the time, resulting in a delay in addressing the potential abuse. Facility policy required immediate reporting of any allegations of abuse, including the willful infliction of injury or pain. Despite this, the staff involved did not follow protocol, and the incident was only investigated after the resident was found with injuries. The failure to promptly report the suspected abuse constituted a violation of the facility's abuse prevention policy.
