Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Hoosier Health & Living Community during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors observed that nurse staffing information was not updated daily, with postings on the bulletin board showing an outdated date while other materials were current. The DON confirmed the posting should be updated daily by designated staff, but there was no facility policy guiding this process.
The facility failed to maintain safe water temperatures in 10 resident rooms, with temperatures exceeding the state regulation of 100 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Residents reported discomfort due to hot water, with temperatures measured as high as 126.5 degrees Fahrenheit. The Maintenance Director did not document individual sink temperatures, only the water heater gauge, which read 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility's policy stated water should range from 100 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, but the Maintenance Director aimed for 120 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
A resident was observed with a bottle of cough syrup at his bedside, which he used without a physician's order or an assessment for self-administration. The facility's policy requires an interdisciplinary team assessment and a physician's order for self-administration, which were not completed. The RN was unaware of the medication at the bedside, and it was removed after discovery.
A facility failed to maintain clean and safe oxygen therapy equipment and did not assess a resident during breathing treatments. A resident with COPD had a nebulizer machine with undated and exposed equipment. The facility's records lacked documentation of vital signs during treatments for two months, and staff confirmed that procedures for changing and labeling equipment were not followed.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was found to have bedrails installed without a proper assessment or physician's order, contrary to facility policy. Observations and staff interviews revealed that the required procedures for bedrail use were not followed, resulting in a deficiency.
The facility failed to follow physician's orders for two residents, leading to the administration of unnecessary medications. One resident received Digoxin despite a heart rate below the prescribed threshold, while another received Midodrine when their systolic blood pressure was above the specified limit. This indicates a failure to adhere to medication administration guidelines.
A facility failed to document a resident's skin condition accurately, as the resident's toenails were long, thick, and discolored, with no prior documentation of this impairment. Despite staff awareness of the condition, it was not recorded until a progress note was made. The resident, who was severely cognitively impaired and dependent on staff for care, initially had podiatry services declined by family but later consented. The facility's policy required weekly assessments and documentation, which was not followed.
Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post daily nurse staffing information as required, as observed on two separate occasions. On both observations, the bulletin board by the Unit Manager's office on the 300 Hall displayed a nurse staffing posting that was outdated, showing a date from several months prior, while the activity calendar was current for April. During interviews, the DON confirmed that the nurse staffing information should be updated daily by herself, the Assistant DON, or the scheduler, but acknowledged that there was no facility policy in place for this process and that they simply followed the regulation.
Unsafe Water Temperatures in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain safe water temperatures in 10 out of 18 resident rooms observed, with temperatures exceeding the state regulation of 100 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. During interviews and observations, residents reported that the water in their bathrooms was too hot to keep their hands under without discomfort. The water temperatures in these rooms were measured using a probe thermometer and found to be as high as 126.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite the high temperatures, residents indicated they had not been burned by the water. The Maintenance Director admitted to conducting random checks of water temperatures but did not document the actual temperatures from individual sinks, only recording the temperature from the water heater gauge, which read 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility's policy on water temperature inspection, last reviewed in March 2022, stated that hot water in resident areas should range from 100 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the Maintenance Director mentioned attempting to maintain water temperatures between 120 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, which is above the policy's stated range.
Failure to Assess Resident for Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident who self-administered medications was appropriately assessed for self-administration. During multiple observations, Resident 18 was seen with a bottle of severe cold and cough syrup on his over-the-bed table, which he indicated he used when he had something caught in his throat. However, there was no assessment or physician's order in the resident's clinical record to authorize self-administration of medications, nor was there an order for the cough syrup itself. The facility's policy requires that the interdisciplinary team assess a resident's cognitive, physical, and visual abilities before allowing self-administration of medications, and a physician's order must be obtained and recorded. RN 7, during an interview, was unaware that Resident 18 had cough syrup at his bedside and confirmed that the resident did not have an order to self-administer medications. The cough syrup was subsequently removed from the resident's room. The facility's failure to follow its policy resulted in a deficiency related to the self-administration of medications.
Failure to Maintain Safe Respiratory Care for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain oxygen therapy equipment in a clean and safe manner and did not properly assess a resident during breathing treatments. Resident 69, who has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), was observed with a nebulizer machine on her nightstand, with the face mask and tubing exposed to air and not dated. There was no plastic bag or other equipment visible, and a small amount of fluid was present in the reservoir. The resident confirmed that staff did not use a bag for her equipment. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) indicated that oxygen tubing was supposed to be changed weekly and dated, but the equipment for Resident 69 was not labeled or stored properly. The clinical records for September and October 2024 lacked a physician's order to change the breathing treatment equipment and did not document the required vital signs during treatments. The facility's policies, which were last reviewed in 2011, stated that tubing must be changed weekly and labeled, and that nursing staff should monitor the effectiveness of nebulizer treatments by assessing lung sounds, respiratory rate, and heart rate. However, these procedures were not followed, as evidenced by the absence of documentation for the entire months of September and October 2024. Interviews with staff confirmed that vital signs should be taken during medication administration, but this was not done for Resident 69.
Failure to Assess and Obtain Physician's Order for Bedrail Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly assess a resident for the use of bedrails, as observed in the case of a resident who was severely cognitively impaired with diagnoses including unspecified dementia, hypertension, and anxiety. The resident was observed multiple times with half bedrails on both sides of her bed, yet the clinical record lacked a physician's order or an assessment for the bedrails prior to their installation. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) confirmed that an order and assessment should have been completed before the bedrails were placed. Interviews with facility staff, including a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) and the Maintenance Director, revealed that the process for installing bedrails involved obtaining a physician's order, which was not followed in this case. The Maintenance Director was unaware of when the bedrails were installed for the resident, indicating a lapse in communication and procedure adherence. The facility's policy on the use of bedrails, which requires a proper assessment and physician's order, was not followed, leading to this deficiency.
Failure to Follow Medication Hold Parameters for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to physician's orders regarding medication administration for two residents, leading to the administration of unnecessary drugs. Resident 18, who was cognitively intact and diagnosed with conditions including atrial fibrillation, was prescribed Digoxin with a specific instruction to withhold the medication if the heart rate was below 60. Despite this, the resident received Digoxin on multiple occasions when their heart rate was below the specified threshold, indicating a failure to follow the hold parameters set by the physician. Similarly, Resident 5, who was moderately cognitively impaired and had diagnoses including diabetes and hypertension, was prescribed Midodrine with instructions to hold the medication if the systolic blood pressure exceeded 105. The resident received the medication numerous times when their systolic blood pressure was above the specified limit. This repeated administration of Midodrine against the physician's orders further highlights the facility's failure to comply with medication administration guidelines, as confirmed by the Qualified Medication Aide's interview and the facility's policy.
Failure to Document Resident's Skin Condition
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure accurate documentation of a resident's skin condition, specifically regarding the toenails and skin of Resident 80. Observations revealed that the resident's toenails were long, thick, yellow, and curved, with a black discoloration under the third toenail on the right foot. Despite these conditions, there was no prior documentation of this skin impairment in the resident's clinical record before a progress note dated 10/29/24. Interviews with staff, including CNAs and an LPN, indicated that the condition of the resident's toe was known but not documented, and there was uncertainty about when the impairment was first noticed or reported. Resident 80, who was severely cognitively impaired with diagnoses including stroke, hemiplegia, hypertension, and aphasia, required substantial assistance for daily activities and was dependent on staff for care. The resident's family initially declined podiatry services upon admission in July 2024, but later consented after being informed of the need. The facility's policy required weekly head-to-toe assessments and documentation of findings, which was not adhered to in this case, leading to the deficiency.
