Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Connecticut Baptist Homes, Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with impaired cognition eloped from the facility due to inadequate monitoring, while another resident fell and sustained a head injury during a transfer performed by a single aide without a gait belt. A third resident suffered a fracture during an improper transfer attempt. The facility failed to adhere to monitoring and transfer protocols.
The facility failed to maintain accurate records of staff training, as required by their policies. Documentation of annual in-servicing and competency training was missing following the resignation of the former Staff Development Nurse. Interviews revealed that the necessary documents had not been seen since the nurse's departure, and a new Infection Control/Staff Development Nurse was hired to oversee ongoing education.
The facility failed to maintain accurate records of the required 12 hours of annual nurse aide training, including dementia management and abuse prevention. Documentation was missing following the resignation of the former Staff Development Nurse, and the facility could not provide evidence of compliance with training policies.
The facility failed to conduct required neurological assessments for a resident after an unwitnessed fall and did not complete weekly skin assessments for another resident as per physician's orders. The first resident, at high risk for falls, did not receive neurological checks post-fall, while the second resident, with severe cognitive impairment, missed five out of ten scheduled skin assessments.
The facility failed to monitor orthostatic blood pressure for two residents on antipsychotic medications as per physician orders. One resident, with dementia and a history of falls, did not have the required weekly measurements documented. Another resident, with Alzheimer's and behavioral issues, lacked monthly orthostatic blood pressure documentation despite orders. The facility's policy mandates such monitoring for residents on new or adjusted antipsychotic medications, which was not followed, leading to a deficiency.
Inadequate Supervision and Transfer Procedures Lead to Resident Incidents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adequately monitor and document the whereabouts of a resident with severely impaired cognition and a high risk for elopement, leading to the resident exiting the facility unsupervised. Despite being on a 15-minute check schedule, the documentation by a nurse aide conflicted with surveillance footage, which showed the resident leaving the facility and being unattended for over 30 minutes. The Director of Nursing Services (DNS) was unaware of the duration the resident was outside until reviewing the surveillance video with the surveyor. Another resident, who required two-person assistance for transfers due to hemiplegia and hemiparesis, was transferred by a single nurse aide without a gait belt, resulting in a fall and head injury. The nurse aide admitted to not reading the care card or using a gait belt, contrary to the facility's policy. The DNS confirmed that the nurse aide should have followed the physician's order for two-person assistance and used a gait belt during the transfer. A third resident, who was at high risk for falls, was injured during a transfer when a nurse aide attempted to transfer the resident alone without a gait belt. The resident sustained a fracture, and the nurse aide had to call for assistance. The facility's policy required the use of a gait belt for transfers, which was not adhered to in this instance. The DNS noted that the nurse aide was unable to explain how the injury occurred during the transfer.
Deficiency in Staff Training Documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an accurate record of an effective training program for all staff members, as required by their policies. The facility assessment outlined that every staff member should have knowledge competency in various areas, including infection control, resident rights, and emergency response, among others. However, upon request, the facility was unable to provide sufficient documentation of the completion of employee's annual in-servicing and competency training. This included missing completed and signed Annual Inservice Education Fair packets and competency forms. Interviews with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) revealed that the documentation had been missing since the resignation of the former Staff Development Nurse in November 2023. The Administrator acknowledged the absence of staff competency forms and tracking documentation for the required annual 12-hour nurse aide training. The DNS confirmed that the in-service and competency documents were stored together in a box, which had not been seen since the former Staff Development Nurse left. The facility had hired a new Infection Control/Staff Development Nurse, who was tasked with overseeing ongoing education and implementing a new online education program.
Deficiency in Nurse Aide Training Documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an accurate record of continuing nurse aide competence, specifically the required 12 hours of annual training, including dementia management and resident abuse prevention. Upon request, the facility was unable to provide sufficient documentation of completed and signed Annual Inservice Education Fair packets and competency forms. Interviews with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) revealed that the documentation had been missing since November 2023, following the resignation of the former Staff Development Nurse. The DNS confirmed that the facility conducts 12 hours of in-service training annually using various methods, but the documentation to support this was not available. The facility's policies require the development and maintenance of an effective training program for all staff, with certified nursing assistants receiving a minimum of 12 hours of education annually. The Competency Evaluation policy mandates the evaluation of employees to ensure appropriate competencies and skills. However, the facility was unable to locate the necessary documentation to verify compliance with these policies. The DNS mentioned that the in-service and competency documents were stored together in a box, which has not been seen since the former Staff Development Nurse left. A new Infection Control/Staff Development Nurse has been hired to oversee ongoing education, but the lack of documentation remains a significant issue.
Failure to Conduct Neurological and Skin Assessments
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete neurological vital signs for a resident after an unwitnessed fall. The resident, who had diagnoses including dementia and diabetes, was identified as being at high risk for falls. Despite the care plan indicating the need for close supervision, the resident experienced an unwitnessed fall while attempting to remove shoes from a wheelchair. The facility's policy required neurological assessments after falls, but these were not conducted for the resident, as confirmed by the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) during an interview. Additionally, the facility did not adhere to a physician's order for weekly skin assessments for another resident with severe cognitive impairment and incontinence. The resident was at risk for skin impairment, and the care plan required weekly skin assessments on shower days. However, the facility failed to complete these assessments on five occasions over a ten-week period. This oversight was identified during a review of the resident's records, and the DNS acknowledged the responsibility of the nursing staff to perform these assessments as per the facility's policy.
Failure to Monitor Orthostatic Blood Pressure for Residents on Antipsychotics
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that orthostatic blood pressure monitoring was completed as per the physician's order for two residents receiving antipsychotic medications. Resident #20, who was admitted with diagnoses including dementia and a history of falls, had a physician's order to obtain orthostatic blood pressures weekly for four weeks. However, the medical administration records for April and May 2023 did not show that these measurements were taken. Interviews with LPN #4 and the Director of Nursing Services (DNS) confirmed that the orthostatic blood pressures were not completed as required, with only one instance documented in a laying down position. Resident #42, diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and other conditions, was also on antipsychotic medications and had a physician's order for monthly orthostatic blood pressures. Despite this, there was no documentation of these measurements in the electronic medical record for April and May 2024. The psychiatric APRN had ordered weekly orthostatic blood pressures initially due to changes in the resident's antipsychotic medication, but these were not documented as completed. The DNS confirmed that the expected protocol was not followed, and the orthostatic blood pressures were not recorded as per the physician's order. The facility's policy on the use of psychotropic medications requires that such drugs are only administered when necessary and that their effects are monitored and documented. The policy also mandates orthostatic blood pressure monitoring for residents on new or adjusted antipsychotic medications. In both cases, the facility did not adhere to these policies, resulting in a deficiency related to the monitoring of residents receiving antipsychotic medications.
