Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Stone Mountain Run Of Journey Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple psychiatric diagnoses was found with medication left at the bedside without a documented assessment for self-administration. The resident was unable to identify the medication, and staff interviews revealed uncertainty about whether the required assessment had been completed, despite facility policy and staff education prohibiting this practice without proper evaluation.
Staff did not immediately report an allegation of potential sexual abuse between two cognitively impaired residents to the Administrator, as required by facility policy. Instead, the incident was reported the following day, delaying notification to the State Survey Agency and the start of the investigation. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the reporting delay, and the Administrator confirmed the sequence of events.
A resident's air mattress was found to be much smaller than the bed frame, leaving a large section of the frame exposed and creating a risk of limb entrapment. Despite staff acknowledging the hazard and reporting it to maintenance, the issue was not corrected over several days, and no bed assessment was documented in the resident's record. Facility policies requiring immediate correction and regular inspection of equipment were not followed.
A resident over 65 did not have documented evidence of receiving the appropriate pneumococcal vaccine, and the consent form was incomplete, with neither vaccine option circled. There was also no documentation that the resident or their representative received education about the PCV20 or PCV21 vaccines, and the DON confirmed the consents did not follow current CDC guidelines.
Failure to Assess Resident for Medication Self-Administration Before Leaving Medication at Bedside
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to assess whether a resident was clinically appropriate to self-administer medications before leaving medication at the bedside. According to the facility's policy, residents may only self-administer medications after an interdisciplinary team assessment determines it is safe. However, review of the resident's electronic medical record revealed no such assessment was conducted. The resident, who had diagnoses including major depressive disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder, was noted to have a BIMS score of 4 out of 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. Despite this, a medication cup containing a yellowish liquid was observed at the resident's bedside during breakfast, and the resident was unsure of what the medication was, only stating it was taken every morning and evening. Interviews with the DON and other staff confirmed uncertainty about whether a self-administration assessment had been completed for the resident, and staff acknowledged they had been educated not to leave medications at the bedside without such an assessment. The DON later confirmed that an assessment had been completed and determined the resident was not capable of self-administration, yet the medication was still left at the bedside unattended.
Failure to Timely Report Alleged Sexual Abuse Between Residents
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to immediately report an allegation of potential sexual abuse involving one resident against another to the Administrator, who also served as the abuse coordinator. According to facility policy, all alleged violations involving abuse must be reported to the Administrator and appropriate authorities immediately, but not later than two hours after the allegation is made. In this case, a resident with moderate cognitive impairment informed a nurse that her roommate, who was severely cognitively impaired, had asked her for sex. The nurse moved the alleged perpetrator to another room, but the Administrator was not notified until the following day, resulting in a delay in reporting the incident to the State Survey Agency and initiating an investigation. The records indicate that the resident making the allegation had a history of confabulation, while the accused resident had a care plan for hypersexual behaviors but no documented incidents following medical intervention. The investigation was not started until after the Administrator was informed, and only then were both residents interviewed regarding the incident. The delay in reporting was acknowledged by the Director of Nursing, who stated the allegation should have been reported immediately, and the Administrator confirmed the timeline of notification and subsequent reporting to authorities.
Failure to Ensure Bed Frame and Mattress Compatibility Creates Entrapment Hazard
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident's air mattress was observed to be significantly smaller than the bed frame, leaving approximately 12 inches of the bed frame exposed. This mismatch created a potential hazard for the resident, as their legs or arms could become trapped in the exposed area during repositioning or care. Multiple observations over several days confirmed that the issue persisted, and both nursing and therapy staff acknowledged the risk. The resident's electronic medical record did not contain any completed bed assessments, and the facility's policies required regular inspections to identify such hazards. Interviews with staff revealed that the issue had been reported to maintenance, but no corrective action had been taken by the time of subsequent observations. The Director of Nursing was not aware of the problem until it was brought to her attention during the survey. Facility policies stated that all hazards should be corrected immediately and that all staff are responsible for reporting defective equipment, but these procedures were not followed in this instance.
Failure to Obtain Accurate Consent and Provide Education for Pneumococcal Vaccination
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident over the age of 65 received accurate consent and education regarding pneumococcal vaccinations in accordance with CDC guidelines and facility policy. Specifically, the resident's electronic medical record did not show evidence of receiving the PCV20 or PCV21 vaccination, and the consent form provided by the facility was incomplete, as neither vaccine option was circled. Additionally, there was no documentation that the resident or their representative was given education about the benefits and potential side effects of the PCV20 or PCV21 vaccines prior to administration. During an interview, the DON, who also served as the Infection Preventionist, confirmed that although an audit for vaccinations was completed and education was provided to the resident's representative, the consents were inaccurate and did not align with current CDC recommendations. This lack of proper consent and education meant the resident and/or representative was not given the opportunity to make an informed decision before the vaccine was administered.
