Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Aviata At Bradenton during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a neurogenic bladder and indwelling Foley catheter had physician orders for monthly and PRN catheter changes, behavior monitoring, and recording urine output each shift. The MAR showed a missed catheter change on the ordered monthly date with no documentation, a catheter change performed later in the month without rationale, and in a subsequent month, two catheter changes within days of each other without documented reasons. Behavior monitoring entries were largely marked as negative for behaviors without corresponding progress notes describing any behaviors. Orders to record Foley bag output were documented with non-numeric entries such as "y" and "NA" or left blank, and no alternative documentation of urine output was found in progress notes. The DON and involved LPNs confirmed these documentation gaps and inconsistencies during interviews.
Surveyors found that appropriate care was not consistently provided for residents who were continent or incontinent of bowel and bladder, including improper catheter care and insufficient prevention of UTIs. These failures resulted in a deficiency related to resident care.
A resident with hemiplegia and muscle weakness experienced ongoing issues with a malfunctioning call light, resulting in delayed staff response and unmet care needs. Despite reporting the problem and being provided with a bell as an alternative, the issue persisted for weeks, and staff did not always hear the bell. Maintenance efforts were insufficient, and documentation of resolution was lacking, indicating a failure in the facility's grievance process.
A resident experienced a malfunctioning call bell light that continuously flashed and sounded for several weeks. Despite being provided with bells to ring as an alternative, the resident reported delays in staff response, and a family member confirmed the ongoing issue. Maintenance attempted repairs, but the problem persisted, and there was no formal documentation of work orders for the call bell system.
Incomplete and Inaccurate Documentation of Foley Catheter Orders and Monitoring
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to maintain complete and accurate documentation of physician orders and related care for a resident with an indwelling Foley catheter. The resident had a history of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, personal history of UTIs, neurogenic bladder, and an indwelling Foley catheter. Physician orders and the care plan included catheter care as ordered, monitoring for signs and symptoms of UTI, and a specific order to change the Foley catheter on the 15th of every month and as needed. Review of the January MAR showed an order to change the Foley catheter on the 15th, but the MAR entry for that date was blank, and there was no progress note documenting that the catheter was changed or explaining why it was not changed on that date. A progress note on 1/29/26 documented that the Foley catheter was changed, but did not provide a rationale for changing it on that day instead of the ordered date. In February, the MAR showed that the catheter was changed on 2/12/26 by one LPN and again on 2/15/26 by another LPN, despite the monthly order specifying the 15th and as-needed changes. There was no documentation in the progress notes explaining the rationale for changing the catheter on 2/12/26 or for changing it again on 2/15/26. Interviews with both LPNs confirmed they recalled changing the catheter but could not recall the reasons for the changes. The DON confirmed that the catheter was changed on both dates based on the MAR and stated that if a nurse did not receive information in nurse-to-nurse report, they might not have known it had already been changed, indicating a lack of clear documentation and communication regarding catheter changes. Additional documentation issues were identified with behavior monitoring and urine output orders. Behavior monitoring entries in February were mostly marked “No,” with no corresponding progress notes describing what behaviors, if any, were observed, despite the order requiring documentation of specific behaviors when present. For March, the order to “EMPTY FOLEY BAG RECORD OUTPUT every shift” was documented incorrectly with a “y” on several dates instead of recording the urine output in cubic centimeters, and one shift was left blank while another was marked “NA,” with no progress notes documenting the output on those dates. The DON acknowledged that the “y” entries were incorrect, that “NA” should not have been used, and that there was no documentation of urine output in the MAR, TAR, or progress notes as required by the physician order.
Deficient Bowel/Bladder and Catheter Care Leading to UTI Risk
Penalty
Summary
The report identifies a deficiency related to the provision of care for residents who are continent or incontinent of bowel and bladder, as well as the management of catheter care and the prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Surveyors found that appropriate care was not consistently provided to residents in these areas. Specific failures included inadequate attention to the needs of residents with incontinence, improper catheter care practices, and insufficient measures to prevent UTIs. These lapses were observed during the survey and contributed to the deficiency cited.
Failure to Ensure Functioning Grievance Process and Timely Call Light Response
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a functioning grievance process for a resident with hemiplegia and muscle weakness, who reported that his call light was not answered in a timely manner. Observations revealed that the call light in the resident's room was continuously flashing and sounding for an extended period, and the issue persisted despite maintenance attempts to repair it. The resident and his roommate were provided with bells to ring for assistance, but both the resident and his family member reported that staff did not always hear the bells, resulting in delays in receiving help. The family member also noted that the resident's clothing was soiled due to these delays, and that he had to intervene to get staff attention. Interviews with facility staff, including the Social Service Director and Maintenance Director, confirmed ongoing issues with the call light system in the resident's room. The Maintenance Director stated that repairs had been attempted, including replacing parts and installing a new box, but the problem recurred and was not fully resolved. Documentation of efforts to address the malfunction was lacking, and the resident's grievance was marked as resolved despite the ongoing issue. The facility's grievance policy required prompt resolution and follow-up within a specified timeframe, but the persistent malfunction and inadequate interim measures indicated a failure to meet these requirements.
Failure to Timely Repair Malfunctioning Call Bell System
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the timely repair of a malfunctioning call bell light for one resident. Observations revealed that the call bell light above the resident's door was continuously flashing and sounding for an extended period, with the issue persisting from at least 07/21/2025 to 08/12/2025. The resident and their roommate were provided with bells to ring as an alternative, but the resident reported that staff sometimes did not hear the bells, resulting in delays in response. The resident also stated that the call bell light had been malfunctioning for about a month and a half, and a family member confirmed that the issue had been ongoing for weeks, causing the resident to wait for assistance and sometimes requiring them to go into the hallway to get staff attention. A grievance was filed by the resident regarding untimely responses to the call bell, and the Social Service Director acknowledged the malfunction and the interim use of bells. The Maintenance Director reported attempts to repair the system, including replacing parts and installing a new box, but the problem recurred shortly after. There was no documentation of work orders for the call bell issue, and the Maintenance Director relied on informal observation rather than formal tracking. The ongoing malfunction and lack of timely repair led to the deficiency cited in the report.
