Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Blossom Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow its abuse reporting policy when two residents with intact cognition reported that a CNA handled them roughly during ADLs and was verbally rude. A social worker documented the grievances, and the administrator interviewed the residents but did not report these abuse allegations to the State Survey Agency, ombudsman, law enforcement, or physicians within the required time frame, contrary to the facility’s written policy that mandates immediate reporting of suspected abuse to specified authorities.
Two cognitively intact residents reported through grievances that a CNA handled them roughly during ADL care, including pushing on a shoulder while turning and being rude and rough during care. Facility records showed documentation of one resident’s pain complaint and a skin assessment, but no comprehensive, documented investigations of either abuse allegation were found. The Administrator acknowledged only interviewing the residents about the CNA’s alleged verbal and physical abuse and not completing or documenting the thorough investigations required by the facility’s abuse-reporting policy.
The facility lacked an effective training program for staff, impacting resident safety and care quality. The DON admitted to difficulties in ensuring staff attendance and tracking training completion. Interviews with the Administrator and DCO confirmed the absence of a formal program, highlighting a significant deficiency in staff training.
The facility failed to ensure adequate pillowcases for residents, affecting their right to a homelike environment. A cognitively impaired resident had to use personal pillowcases, while another resident reported frequent shortages. Observations confirmed the lack of pillowcases, and staff acknowledged the issue.
The facility failed to inform two residents and/or their representatives about the risks and benefits of antipsychotic medications. One resident with Alzheimer's Disease was given Depakote and Risperdal without proper documentation of informed consent, and their Power of Attorney was unaware of these medications. Another resident with Huntington's Disease was started on Mirtazapine and Trazodone without notifying the representative or explaining the risks and benefits. The DON and MDS Coordinator confirmed the lack of communication and documentation regarding psychotropic medications.
A facility failed to provide a NOMNC to a resident 48 hours before the end of their Medicare-covered Part A stay. The resident signed the NOMNC on their last covered day, rather than two days prior as required. Both the Social Worker and Administrator acknowledged the error in timing.
Failure to Report Resident Abuse Allegations to Required Authorities
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow its abuse reporting policy by not reporting two residents' allegations of rough handling and verbal abuse to the State Survey Agency (SSA) and other required authorities. The facility's written policy on Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation-Reporting and Investigating states that all reports of resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, or misappropriation must be reported to local, state, and federal agencies as required, and that suspicions must be reported immediately to the administrator and appropriate external agencies. The policy defines "immediately" as within two hours for allegations involving abuse or resulting in serious bodily injury, and within 24 hours for allegations that do not involve abuse or result in serious bodily injury. Record review showed that these reporting requirements were not followed for two residents. One resident, with a Quarterly MDS BIMS score of 13 indicating little to no cognitive impairment, filed a grievance stating that a CNA was very rough while changing her brief and pushed on her shoulder while trying to turn her. Another resident, also with a BIMS score of 13, filed a grievance stating that the same CNA handled the resident very roughly and was rude, which the Social Worker documented as verbal abuse. The Social Worker reported that she took both complaints, and the Administrator confirmed she had interviewed both residents regarding the allegations. The Administrator further confirmed that she did not report these abuse allegations to the SSA, Ombudsman, police, or the residents' medical doctor, and record review confirmed that the allegations were not reported within the required time frame.
Failure to Thoroughly Investigate Resident Abuse Allegations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to thoroughly investigate allegations of verbal and physical abuse in accordance with its policy titled "Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation or Misappropriation-Reporting and Investigating" for two residents. The policy required that all reports of resident abuse be thoroughly investigated by facility management, with the Administrator initiating the investigation and the individual conducting the investigation documenting it completely and thoroughly. One resident, with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 13 indicating little to no cognitive impairment, reported via a grievance that a CNA was very rough while changing her brief, pushing on her shoulder while trying to turn her. Progress notes documented that this resident complained of shoulder pain and stated the CNA was rough when turning her, and a subsequent skin assessment was completed. However, there was no additional documentation related to the abuse allegation reported on that date and no record of a thorough investigation of the allegation. A second resident, also with a BIMS score of 13 indicating little to no cognitive impairment, filed a grievance stating that the same CNA handled the resident very roughly and was rude during care. Record review revealed no documented thorough investigation of this resident’s allegation of abuse. Interviews with facility leadership confirmed that the Administrator only interviewed the two residents about the CNA being verbally abusive and handling them roughly during ADL care and did not conduct or document any further investigations into the allegations, despite the facility’s policy requiring comprehensive investigation and documentation of all abuse allegations.
Deficiency in Staff Training Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement and maintain an effective training program for all new and existing staff members, as revealed by the In-Service Deficiency Report. The report indicated that there were 19 training topics that should be provided to employees annually, including critical areas such as elopement, emergency operation plan training, abuse policy and procedure, communication training, fire safety, trauma-informed care, and more. However, the Director of Nursing (DON) admitted that there was no formal training program in place, and although she attempted to provide training on various topics, there was difficulty in ensuring staff attendance. The DON acknowledged the importance of training for resident care and safety but confirmed the absence of documentation to track which staff had been trained in specific areas. Interviews with the Administrator and the Director of Clinical Operations (DCO) further confirmed the lack of a formal training program for existing staff. They acknowledged that the training provided did not ensure all staff attended, which could potentially impact the quality of care provided to residents. The absence of a structured training program and the inability to hold staff accountable for attending training sessions were significant factors contributing to the deficiency. The facility's failure to ensure comprehensive staff training posed a risk to resident safety and the overall quality of care provided.
Deficiency in Providing Adequate Pillowcases
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a sufficient supply of clean pillowcases for three residents, compromising their right to a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment. Resident 52, who is cognitively impaired, had to rely on a family member to provide pillowcases, as the facility was out of stock. During an observation, it was noted that Resident 52 had a pillowcase with his name written on it, indicating it was brought from outside the facility. Resident 6, who is cognitively intact, reported frequent shortages of pillowcases, resulting in some of her pillows being uncovered. Similarly, Resident 285, who is severely cognitively impaired, was observed lying on a pillow without a pillowcase. The Director of Nursing and Unit Manager confirmed the shortage of pillowcases in the linen closets, and the Housekeeping Supervisor admitted to not ordering enough pillowcases despite increased usage. The facility's Administrator acknowledged the deficiency, agreeing that every resident should have enough pillowcases for all their pillows.
Failure to Inform Residents of Medication Risks and Benefits
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents and/or their representatives were informed of the risks and benefits of physician-ordered antipsychotic medications. Resident 24, diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, was administered Depakote and Risperdal without documentation that the resident or their representative was informed of the associated risks and benefits. The resident's Power of Attorney was unaware of the medication changes and had previously requested the discontinuation of mood-altering medications. The Director of Nursing admitted that consents were not obtained due to a general consent to treat signed upon admission, and staff failed to document discussions about medication risks and benefits. Similarly, Resident 78, diagnosed with Huntington's Disease, was started on Mirtazapine and Trazodone without notifying the resident's representative of the new medications or explaining their risks and benefits. The Director of Nursing and the MDS Coordinator confirmed that they did not provide information about the risks and benefits of psychotropic medications to the resident or family. A family member was only informed about a medication for sleep but not about the other psychotropic medications. The facility did not provide a policy related to psychotropic medications and consents before the survey exit.
Failure to Timely Issue NOMNC
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) to a resident, identified as R134, 48 hours before the end of their Medicare-covered Part A stay. The resident was admitted and later readmitted to the facility, with a discharge date of 06/16/24. The NOMNC indicated that R134's Medicare services would end on 06/16/24, and the resident signed the document on the same day, which was their last covered day. During an interview, the Social Worker acknowledged that the NOMNC should have been issued two days prior, on 06/14/24, but was not. The Administrator also agreed that the NOMNC should have been issued timely, two days in advance.
