Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Scenic Hills At The Monastery during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to maintain the dignity and rights of a resident with severe cognitive impairment and hemiplegia/hemiparesis by not providing timely assistance with meals. The resident waited 18-19 minutes for help during two observed meals, despite care plans indicating the need for assistance. Staff prioritized serving all residents before assisting those in need, contrary to the facility's Resident Rights policy.
A resident with Alzheimer's and other conditions had a blister on the left thigh that was not properly assessed or treated according to professional standards. The nurse failed to change gloves after removing a soiled dressing and did not notice an irritated area under the adhesive, which the resident pointed out. The clinical record lacked a specific care plan for the blister, and the irritated area was not addressed in physician orders or progress notes.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment experienced multiple falls due to the facility's failure to implement necessary fall prevention measures. The resident's perimeter mattress was not moved during a room change, and required interventions like a stop sign on the door and Dycem on the wheelchair were not in place. Staff were unaware of these needs, and the facility's policy to follow care plans was not consistently adhered to.
The facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices, including improper use of PPE during resident care, inadequate hand hygiene, and mishandling of medications. A resident with severe cognitive impairment did not receive appropriate care during dressing changes and toileting, and a CNA did not follow droplet precautions for a resident with COVID-19 symptoms. These deficiencies occurred despite existing policies and staff training.
Failure to Assist Resident with Eating in a Timely Manner
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain resident dignity and protect the rights of a dependent resident, identified as Resident 42, who required assistance with eating due to severe cognitive impairment and hemiplegia/hemiparesis following a stroke. During two separate meal observations, Resident 42 was left waiting for assistance to eat for 19 and 18 minutes, respectively, after meals were placed in front of them. Despite being aware of the resident's need for assistance, staff prioritized serving all residents before assisting those who required help, leading to delays in providing necessary support to Resident 42. The resident's care plans, which were last revised in February 2025, indicated the need for assistance with eating and highlighted risks for malnourishment and significant weight loss. However, staff, including a CNA and an LPN, did not adhere to these care plans during meal times. The facility's Resident Rights policy emphasized the importance of treating residents with dignity and respect, yet the observed actions during meal service did not align with this policy, resulting in a deficiency in maintaining resident dignity and rights.
Failure to Meet Professional Standards in Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that services provided met professional standards of quality for a resident with skin conditions. A blister on the resident's left thigh was not assessed when initially identified, and the nurse was unaware of the correct timing for the treatment. The clinical record lacked a care plan specific to the blister, and there was no assessment or measurement of the area when it was first identified. Additionally, the nurse did not change gloves after removing the soiled dressing before cleaning the wound, which is against the facility's policy. The resident, who has Alzheimer's, malnutrition, and depression, required substantial to maximum assistance with daily activities. The nurse failed to notice an irritated area under the adhesive of the dressing, which the resident had to point out. The nurse documented the presence of small blisters in the area of the adhesive but did not cover them with a new dressing. The irritated area was not addressed in the physician orders, care plans, wound management, or progress notes, indicating a lack of comprehensive care and documentation for the resident's condition.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Measures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate supervision and assistance devices to prevent accidents for a resident reviewed for falls. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and required substantial assistance with daily activities, experienced multiple falls due to inadequate interventions. The resident's mattress, which was a perimeter mattress designed to prevent falls, was not moved with the resident during a room change, leading to a fall. Additionally, several fall interventions, such as the placement of a stop sign on the room door and Dycem to the wheelchair, were not in place as required by the care plan. Observations revealed that the resident's wheelchair lacked foot pedals and Dycem, and the call don't fall sign was not visible from the bed. Staff members were unaware of the need for these interventions, and there was no written policy for following care plans, although it was the facility's policy to adhere to them. The facility's Fall Management policy emphasized maintaining a hazard-free environment and implementing care plan interventions, but these were not consistently followed, contributing to the resident's falls.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Resident Care and Medication Handling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary environment, leading to deficiencies in infection prevention and control. One resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including Alzheimer's, was not provided with proper care during dressing changes and toileting. Staff did not adhere to enhanced barrier precautions, such as changing gloves between tasks and ensuring clean briefs did not come into contact with contaminated surfaces. Additionally, handwashing was not performed according to the required standards, compromising infection control. In another instance, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) improperly handled medication by picking up a dropped pill with bare hands and administering it to a resident. This action violated the facility's medication administration policy, which requires medications to be handled with care and not touched with bare hands. The Infection Preventionist confirmed that the pill should have been discarded and replaced, and handwashing should have been performed for at least 20 seconds. Furthermore, a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) did not follow proper droplet precautions when exiting a resident's room who was on isolation for COVID-19 symptoms. The CNA failed to change the surgical mask after leaving the room and did not adhere to the facility's policy on droplet precautions, which requires the use of an N95 mask without a surgical mask underneath. These lapses in infection control practices were observed despite the facility's policies and training provided to staff.
