Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at American Village during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents were allowed to have medications at their bedside and self-administer without timely IDT assessment or documentation confirming clinical appropriateness, as required by facility policy. One resident had an assessment only for self-administering lotion, not pills, and the other had no assessment at all. Both were observed with medications left at their bedside without nursing supervision.
The facility failed to properly manage medications in two medication carts. An insulin pen was not refrigerated, and several medications lacked open date labels. Discontinued medications were not removed. LPNs were unaware of labeling and storage requirements.
The facility failed to accurately complete MDS assessments for three residents, leading to deficiencies in care. A resident with gangrene had arterial ulcers not documented in the MDS, another with Parkinson's disease had dental issues unreported, and a third with anxiety disorder had a PASRR Level II evaluation omitted. These inaccuracies were acknowledged by the MDS Coordinator, highlighting a lack of thorough documentation.
A resident with dementia and mild intellectual disabilities was observed wearing the same clothes over several days, indicating a failure by the facility to develop a timely person-centered care plan addressing his refusal to change clothing. Interviews revealed the resident's preference for certain clothing items, but no care plan was in place to manage this behavior.
The facility failed to administer lidocaine patches as ordered for a resident with pain due to unavailability and lack of timely order clarification. Additionally, another resident with congestive heart failure and diabetes was not weighed as ordered, and a significant weight gain was not reported to the physician. The Director of Nursing and Unit Manager acknowledged these deficiencies.
A resident with limited ROM and multiple diagnoses, including Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis, was not provided with a prescribed splint as per her care plan. Observations showed the resident without the splint on multiple occasions, and staff interviews confirmed the oversight. The facility's policy requires resident-specific interventions, which were not followed in this instance.
A resident with dementia exhibited fluctuating emotions and behaviors, but the facility failed to develop a timely, person-centered care plan. Despite observations of tearfulness and agitation, the facility relied on pharmacological interventions without documenting non-pharmacological approaches. The lack of a care plan for behavior monitoring, especially during visits from the resident's husband, highlighted a deficiency in aligning with the facility's policy for individualized interventions.
A facility failed to ensure appropriate social services follow-up for a resident with dementia who was allegedly abused by her husband. Despite initial measures for supervised visits, the resident continued to experience distress during her husband's visits, and there was a lack of consistent supervision. Interviews revealed communication gaps between facility units regarding the supervision protocol.
A facility failed to ensure proper infection control during wound care for a resident with a pressure ulcer. The LPN did not use the required gown and gloves, despite Enhanced Barrier Precaution signage in the room. The LPN was unaware of the precautions, indicating a lapse in adherence to infection control policies.
Failure to Assess and Document Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the interdisciplinary team (IDT) timely determined and documented whether self-administration of medications and treatments was clinically appropriate for two residents. For one resident with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other diagnoses, the clinical record showed she was cognitively intact and had multiple physician orders for daily medications. She was observed in her room with medication cups containing her morning medications left at her bedside without a nurse present. The resident confirmed she had not yet taken the medications. The nurse later confirmed the resident had taken them after being prompted. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated that while there was a self-medication assessment for the resident regarding lotion, there was no documentation supporting her ability to self-administer pill medications. For another resident with dementia who was also assessed as cognitively intact, multiple physician orders for daily medications were present. This resident was observed with a medication cup at his bedside and no nurse present. He could identify some, but not all, of the medications in the cup. The nurse reported that the resident refused to let her remove the medications from his room. The DON confirmed there was no self-administration assessment for this resident. The facility's policy requires an IDT assessment and physician order for self-administration, as well as secure storage and quarterly reassessment, none of which were documented for these residents.
Medication Management Deficiencies in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to proper medication management protocols, as observed in two medication carts. In the 200-hall medication cart, an insulin degludec pen for a resident was found opened without an open date label, and another insulin pen was not refrigerated as required by the manufacturer. Additionally, a bottle of lactulose for another resident was open without an open date label, and a bottle of liquid guaifenesin dextromethorphan, which had been discontinued, was not removed from the cart. Another bottle of lactulose for a different resident was also open without an open date label. The LPN responsible for this cart was unaware of the need for open date labels and the refrigeration requirement for the insulin pen. In the 400-hall medication cart, two bottles of nitroglycerin pills for a resident were open without open date labels, and a bottle of liquid ibuprofen for another resident was similarly unlabeled. The LPN overseeing this cart was unsure about the necessity of open date labels. The facility's Medication Storage and Expiration Policy mandates that staff record the date opened on medication containers and store medications according to manufacturers' recommendations. The policy also requires that expired, discontinued, or medications belonging to hospitalized patients be stored separately until destroyed or returned.
Inaccurate MDS Assessments for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately complete the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for three residents, leading to deficiencies in their care. For Resident 329, the clinical record review revealed a diagnosis of gangrene and pain, with a wound progress note indicating arterial insufficiency on both feet. However, the Admission MDS assessment did not reflect the presence of arterial ulcers, which was an oversight acknowledged by the MDS Coordinator during an interview. This discrepancy highlights a failure to accurately document the resident's condition, which is crucial for appropriate care planning. Resident 22, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, had a Nurse Practitioner Progress Note indicating issues with two broken teeth affecting her eating. Despite this, the Significant Change MDS assessment did not report any dental issues, contradicting the care plan that identified a risk for dental problems. Similarly, Resident 49, with anxiety disorder and PTSD, had a PASRR Level II outcome indicating approval for long-term care without specialized services. However, the Significant Change MDS assessment failed to capture this evaluation, as confirmed by the MDS Coordinator. These inaccuracies in the MDS assessments reflect a lack of thoroughness in documenting residents' conditions and evaluations, which are essential for ensuring comprehensive care.
Failure to Develop Timely Care Plan for Clothing Refusal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a timely person-centered care plan for a resident who refused to change clothes. The resident, who has diagnoses including dementia and mild intellectual disabilities, was observed wearing the same clothing over several days. Despite being cognitively impaired and requiring supervision and setup assistance during dressing, the resident's clinical record did not contain a care plan addressing his refusal to change clothing. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the resident often refused to change clothes due to a preference for certain items. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the resident becomes fixated on favorite clothing items, which contributed to the refusal. The facility's Comprehensive Care Plan Policy requires that each resident have an interdisciplinary care plan based on their needs and preferences, but this was not implemented for the resident in question.
Failure to Administer Medication and Monitor Weight as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer lidocaine patches as ordered for a resident with pain and neuropathy. The physician's order required the application of lidocaine patches twice daily to the resident's feet. However, the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) showed multiple instances where the patches were not administered due to unavailability. The pharmacy indicated that the order needed clarification regarding the timeframe the patches should not be worn, but the nursing staff did not seek clarification promptly. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the order should have been clarified sooner. Additionally, the facility did not adhere to a physician's order for another resident with congestive heart failure and diabetes, which required weighing the resident three times weekly and notifying the physician of any weight gain of three pounds or more. The Medication Administration Record (MAR) lacked documentation of weights on specified dates, and a significant weight gain of 5.2 pounds was not reported to the physician. The Unit Manager confirmed that the weights should have been obtained and the physician notified as per the order. The facility's Resident Weight Monitoring policy was provided, indicating the requirement to weigh residents per physician order.
Failure to Apply Splint as Care-Planned for Resident with Limited ROM
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate care for a resident with limited range of motion (ROM) by not applying a splint as care-planned. Resident 40, who has diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain, was observed multiple times without the prescribed left hand resting splint/brace. The care plan indicated that the resident was on a Passive Range of Motion (PROM) program and could tolerate wearing the splint for four hours each morning to reduce the risk of contractures. Despite the care plan, observations on three separate occasions revealed that the resident was without the splint while sitting in her wheelchair. Interviews with a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) and the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the splint should have been applied as per the care plan. The CNA was unable to locate the splint, suggesting it might be in the laundry, and the DON acknowledged the oversight. The facility's Comprehensive Care Plan Policy emphasizes the need for resident-specific interventions to promote the highest level of functioning, which was not adhered to in this case.
Failure to Develop Person-Centered Care Plan for Resident with Dementia
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a timely, person-centered behavior management care plan for a resident diagnosed with dementia, depression, and cognitive communication deficit. The resident, who was severely cognitively impaired, exhibited fluctuating emotions, crying, and yelling, as noted by a hospice MSW. Despite these observations, the facility did not document these behaviors or initiate interventions on the date they were reported. The resident was later transferred to a memory care unit due to increasing behaviors such as agitation, restlessness, and wandering. The facility's response to the resident's behaviors primarily involved pharmacological interventions, including scheduled and as-needed lorazepam, without documented non-pharmacological interventions. The resident's husband expressed concerns about the resident's drowsiness and anxiety, leading to changes in medication administration. However, the facility did not develop a care plan for monitoring the resident's behavior, particularly when the husband was present, nor did they document daily behavior monitoring. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the resident often became tearful and sought physical comfort, yet these observations were not reflected in a care plan. The facility's behavior management policy emphasized individualized and non-pharmacological interventions, but these were not implemented for the resident. The lack of a care plan addressing the resident's mood and behaviors related to dementia was a significant deficiency, as it did not align with the facility's policy to provide supportive interventions for residents with distressing behaviors.
Failure to Ensure Supervised Visitation for Resident with Alleged Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate social services follow-up for a resident with dementia, depression, and cognitive communication deficit, who was involved in an incident of alleged abuse by her husband. The resident, identified as severely cognitively impaired, was observed in distress during interactions with her husband, who was reported to exhibit aggressive behavior towards her. Despite the facility's initial response to the incident, which included supervised visitations, the resident continued to experience emotional distress during her husband's visits. The incident report and subsequent notes indicated that the resident's husband was overheard yelling at her and was resistant to staff intervention. The facility staff had to call the police to escort him out after he refused to leave. Despite these measures, the resident's emotional state fluctuated, and she exhibited increased anxiety and agitation during her husband's visits, as noted in a psychiatry progress note. The facility's social services and nursing staff were aware of the husband's behavior, yet there was a lack of consistent supervision during his visits, as observed on multiple occasions. Interviews with facility staff revealed that there was a lack of communication and coordination between the Assisted Living unit and the Skilled Nursing Facility regarding the supervision of the resident's husband. The Memory Care Support Specialist was unaware of the supervised visitation protocol that was initially implemented. The facility's visitation policy allowed for supervised visits in cases of suspected abuse, but this was not consistently enforced, leading to ongoing distress for the resident during her husband's visits.
Failure to Follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper infection prevention and control measures were followed during a wound dressing procedure for a resident with Alzheimer's disease and a pressure ulcer on the sacrum. The care plan for the resident indicated the need for Enhanced Barrier Precautions, which require the use of gown and gloves during high-contact care activities such as wound care. However, during an observation, it was noted that the LPN only donned gloves and was unaware of the Enhanced Barrier Precautions required for the resident. The Director of Nursing confirmed that Enhanced Barrier Precaution signage was present in the resident's room, but the trash can did not contain discarded PPE, indicating non-compliance with the policy. The LPN admitted to not using the required PPE, highlighting a lapse in adherence to the facility's infection control policy. This deficiency was identified through observation, interview, and record review, emphasizing the need for staff awareness and compliance with infection prevention protocols.
