Health deficiencies cited at Easton Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with Alzheimer's and muscle weakness was injured during a transfer using a Hoyer lift when the lift tipped, causing her to hit her head on a dresser. The incident involved a CNA and an LN who were unsure why the lift tipped, and it was found that there were gaps in staff training on lift use. The resident sustained a head laceration requiring staples and sutures.
The facility did not provide quarterly statements for resident trust fund accounts, as required by policy. A resident's representative reported not receiving any statements for the year and had trouble contacting the responsible staff. Administrative Staff B confirmed no statements were sent due to lack of training, risking uninformed decisions and potential misappropriation.
A resident's personal funds were inaccurately accounted for, resulting in an overcharge of $347.89 due to duplicate charges and a charge without a receipt. Administrative Staff B, responsible for managing the trust accounts, entered transactions twice due to a lack of training and oversight. The facility's policy for managing resident funds was not followed, leading to the mismanagement of the resident's funds.
The facility failed to convey personal funds within 30 days for three residents after discharge or death, risking impaired rights and misappropriation. Administrative Staff B was uncertain about procedures for handling trust funds, and the facility policy lacked guidance on this matter.
A resident with Huntington's disease and a history of trauma was mistreated by two CNAs who physically obstructed him from accessing the refrigerator, leading to a fall and subsequent self-harm attempt. The CNAs' actions escalated the situation, resulting in the resident's mistreatment and immediate jeopardy.
Resident Injury Due to Improper Hoyer Lift Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the safety of Resident 1 during a transfer using a Hoyer lift, resulting in an accident. Resident 1, who had a history of generalized muscle weakness, Alzheimer's Disease, cerebral infarction, and was dependent on a wheelchair, required total assistance for all activities of daily living, including transfers. During a transfer from her bed to her wheelchair, the Hoyer lift tipped, causing Resident 1 to hit the back of her head on a dresser, resulting in a laceration that required staples and sutures. The incident occurred when Certified Nurse Aide M and Licensed Nurse G were transferring Resident 1. The lift tipped during the transfer, and although the staff attempted to lower Resident 1 to the floor, they were unable to prevent her head from hitting the dresser. The staff involved were unsure of the cause of the lift tipping, and there was no indication that the lift was malfunctioning. However, it was noted that the legs of the lift should have been open to provide a stable base, and it was unclear if this was done correctly. Further investigation revealed that there were gaps in staff training regarding the use of the Hoyer lift. Administrative Nurse D was unsure if the staff involved had completed the necessary training, and records of such training were incomplete or missing. Additionally, another CNA reported not receiving lift training at the facility, relying instead on previous experience. This lack of proper training and documentation contributed to the unsafe transfer and subsequent injury to Resident 1.
Failure to Distribute Quarterly Trust Fund Statements
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to distribute quarterly statements to residents with trust fund accounts, as required by their policy. The facility had 23 active resident trust fund accounts, and a sample review included five residents. A review of the Trial Balance revealed that one resident had a trust fund balance of $681.35. The resident's representative reported not receiving any quarterly statements for the trust account throughout the year and had difficulty contacting the person responsible for the trust accounts. Administrative Staff B confirmed that no quarterly statements had been sent out for any trust accounts, citing a lack of training on the process. This failure placed residents at risk for uninformed decisions regarding their trust funds and potential misappropriation.
Inaccurate Accounting of Resident's Personal Funds
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a resident with an accurate accounting of her personal funds, resulting in an overcharge of $347.89. The issue arose from duplicate charges and a charge without a receipt in the resident's trust account. The transactions were documented on the Resident Statement Landscape, showing withdrawals with handwritten receipts and one withdrawal without a receipt. Administrative Staff B, who was responsible for managing the trust accounts, admitted to entering the same transactions twice, once in January and again in August, due to a misunderstanding of the process and lack of oversight. Interviews with facility staff revealed that Administrative Staff B had not received adequate training to handle the resident trust accounts and was learning on the job. Additionally, there was no review process in place for the trust accounts, as Administrative Staff B was the only one managing the receipts and withdrawals. The facility's policy required the Business Office Manager or designee to provide receipts for withdrawals and reconcile accounts quarterly, but this was not followed. The lack of training and oversight led to the mismanagement of the resident's funds, placing the resident at risk for impaired autonomy and misappropriation.
Failure to Convey Resident Funds Timely
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the timely conveyance of personal funds for three residents, identified as R3, R4, and R5, within 30 days of their discharge or death. The review of the Trial Balance revealed that R3 had a trust fund balance of $233.39 and was discharged from the facility, R4 had a balance of $178.95 and was also discharged, and R5 had a balance of $20.56 and died in the facility. These funds were not conveyed as required, placing the residents at risk for impaired rights and misappropriation. Administrative Staff B admitted uncertainty about the procedures for handling residents' trust funds upon their death, typically contacting the family to arrange for funeral expenses. She acknowledged a lack of training on conveying funds for accounts that were old or from previous months. The facility's policy on Transactions Involving Resident Funds did not provide guidance for handling funds upon discharge, eviction, or death, contributing to the deficiency.
Resident Mistreatment and Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a resident remained free from abuse and mistreatment. The incident involved a resident with a history of trauma and Huntington's disease, who requested chocolate milk from two CNAs. The CNAs instructed the resident to ask for the milk correctly and physically obstructed him from accessing the refrigerator, leading to a struggle. During the struggle, the resident fell to the ground, kicked at the staff, and subsequently attempted to choke himself, verbalizing suicidal intentions. The resident's medical records indicated diagnoses of Huntington's disease, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, with a documented need for substantial assistance with daily activities. The care plan directed staff to anticipate the resident's needs and intervene calmly to prevent agitation. However, the CNAs' actions escalated the situation, resulting in the resident's fall and subsequent self-harm attempt. Interviews with staff and administrative personnel revealed that the CNAs' approach was inappropriate and demeaning, as they insisted the resident use 'big boy words' and physically prevented him from accessing the refrigerator. The facility's policy on abuse and neglect was not followed, leading to the resident's mistreatment and immediate jeopardy.
Removal Plan
- An all-staff in-service on preventing abuse, neglect, and exploitation and reporting abuse.
- The facility updated R1's care plan to include his past trauma and relevant interventions for staff to follow.
- CNA N and CNA O were not permitted back into the facility and were subsequently terminated.
