Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Hospital Authority Of Brooks County, Georgia, The during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with multiple chronic conditions alleged that a CNA shoved a neck pillow behind her head. Despite the facility's policy requiring immediate suspension of staff accused of abuse, the CNA continued to work and remained assigned to the resident during the investigation. The Administrator did not initially consider the incident as abuse and only reassigned the CNA after further inquiry, resulting in a failure to follow the facility's abuse prevention policy.
A resident with multiple chronic conditions reported that a CNA had shoved a pillow behind her head. The incident was initially reported to the DON as rough handling and was not reported to the state agency until the following day, after the Ombudsman intervened. Law enforcement was also contacted at the resident's request. This delay in reporting did not comply with the facility's abuse reporting policy.
Failure to Suspend Staff After Alleged Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from alleged abuse by staff, as required by its Abuse/Neglect Prevention Program policy. According to the policy, any staff member accused of abuse is to be immediately suspended pending investigation. However, after a resident with multiple diagnoses, including emphysema, chronic pulmonary edema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hemiplegia, hemiparesis, dementia, and hypertension, alleged that a CNA shoved a neck pillow behind her head, the accused CNA continued to work and was not suspended. Documentation showed that the CNA worked the same day as the alleged incident and even completed a double shift the following day. Further, law enforcement records indicated that the CNA was still assigned to the resident nearly a month later. Interviews revealed that the CNA was aware of the resident's accusation and had another CNA accompany her when providing care to the resident. The Administrator stated that she did not initially consider the incident to be abuse and believed that the facility policy only required reassignment, not suspension, of the accused staff member. This series of actions and inactions resulted in the facility not following its own policy for handling abuse allegations, thereby failing to ensure the resident was protected from potential further abuse during the investigation.
Failure to Timely Report Alleged Abuse to State Agency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of abuse to the State Survey Agency (SSA) within the required timeframe for one resident. According to the facility's policy, all personnel are required to promptly report any incident or suspected incident of resident abuse, including injuries of unknown source. In this case, a resident with multiple diagnoses, including emphysema, chronic pulmonary edema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hemiplegia, dementia, and hypertension, reported that a CNA had shoved a pillow behind her head. The incident occurred on 1/27/2025 but was not reported to the state agency until 1/28/2025. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged responsibility for state reportables and stated that the incident was initially reported to her as rough handling. The Ombudsman visited the facility the following day and informed the Administrator that the incident should be reported as abuse. Law enforcement was also involved after the resident requested to make an assault charge. The delay in reporting the incident to the SSA did not comply with the facility's abuse reporting policy.
