Health deficiencies cited at Golden Age Of Welsh, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with chronic pain conditions experienced inadequate pain management at the facility. Despite reporting significant pain, the resident did not receive timely pain medication or non-pharmacological interventions. Staff failed to follow up with the physician or pharmacy for new medication orders, leading to the resident's refusal of physical therapy and eventual transfer to the ER for severe pain. Hospital records confirmed diagnoses of hip pain, sciatica, and neuropathy, and the resident received treatment with various medications.
The facility failed to address grievances voiced during resident council meetings from April to July 2024. A resident with intact cognition reported that complaints were documented but not followed up on. The Activity Director confirmed that grievances were not filed, and the Social Service Director acknowledged not initiating a grievance process for these complaints.
A facility failed to accurately code the MDS assessment for a resident by omitting opioid use, despite documentation in the MAR showing the resident received an opioid for the entire month. This discrepancy was confirmed by an RN during a record review and interview.
A facility failed to refer a resident with Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder for a Level II PASARR evaluation. The resident's diagnoses were not indicated in the initial pre-admission screening or in the continued stay certification, despite being present since admission. This oversight was confirmed during interviews with facility staff.
A facility failed to update a resident's care plan to reflect their DNR status, as indicated by a physician's order and a LaPOST form. Despite the resident's medical records confirming a DNR status with comfort-focused treatment, the care plan inaccurately documented the resident as a Full Code. This discrepancy was confirmed by an MDS/LPN and the ADON during a record review and interview.
Two residents with respiratory conditions were found with improperly stored respiratory equipment. One resident's BiPAP mask was repeatedly observed hanging open to air, while another's nebulizer mask was left on a bedside table. Both instances were confirmed by staff, indicating a failure to follow the facility's policy on storing respiratory equipment.
Two CNAs failed to follow the Enhanced Barrier Precautions policy by not wearing gowns while providing care to a resident with a feeding tube and incontinence issues. Despite clear signage and available PPE, the CNAs did not don gowns during high-contact activities, as required by the facility's infection control program.
Inadequate Pain Management for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate pain management for a resident, identified as Resident #16, who required such services. The resident, who had a history of chronic pain due to trauma, idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy, and other conditions, reported significant pain on multiple occasions. Despite these reports, the facility did not administer pain medication as needed nor offer non-pharmacological interventions. The resident's pain was documented as a 5 out of 10 on the pain scale on two separate occasions, yet no Tylenol was administered, and non-pharmacological interventions were not documented. The facility's staff, including LPNs, failed to follow up with the resident's physician or pharmacy after the physician indicated that a new pain medication order would be sent. The resident continued to experience severe pain, rated as high as 10 out of 10, and expressed frustration over the lack of effective pain relief. The resident's condition led to a refusal to participate in physical therapy due to pain, further impacting her well-being. Ultimately, the resident was sent to the emergency room for low back pain after continued complaints and inadequate pain management. The hospital records indicated diagnoses of bilateral hip pain, sciatica, and neuropathy, and the resident was treated with medications including Decadron, Demerol, and Phenergan. The facility's failure to manage the resident's pain effectively resulted in actual harm, as evidenced by the resident's need for emergency medical intervention.
Failure to Address Resident Grievances from Council Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure resident rights by not acting promptly upon grievances received during monthly resident council meetings and not demonstrating a response to such grievances. The facility's policy on Resident and Family Grievances, last reviewed in January 2024, outlines that grievances can be voiced during resident or family council meetings and should be addressed by a grievance official. However, a review of the Resident Council Meeting Minutes from April 2024 to July 2024 revealed that complaints voiced by residents were not reviewed, initiated, or resolved, and there was no evidence of these grievances being included in the facility's grievance logs. Resident #11, who had an intact cognition as indicated by a BIMS score of 13, reported attending the monthly Resident Council meetings and noted that complaints were documented by the Activity Director (S5AD) but not followed up on. Interviews with S5AD and the Social Service Director (S4SSD) confirmed that grievances from the resident council meetings were not filed or included with other facility grievances. S4SSD acknowledged receiving the meeting minutes but did not initiate a grievance process for the complaints from April 2024 to July 2024, failing to fulfill her responsibility to file grievances and complete investigations.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Opioid Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the assessment accurately reflected the resident's status by not correctly coding the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment for medications received. Specifically, the facility did not include opioid use in the MDS assessment for one resident. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including Morbid Obesity, Bipolar Disorder, and Spondylosis with Radiculopathy, had received an opioid for the entire month of May 2024, as documented in the Medication Administration Record (MAR). However, the Quarterly MDS with an Assessment Reference Date of 05/31/2023 did not reflect this opioid use. This discrepancy was confirmed during a record review and interview with a Registered Nurse, who acknowledged the inaccurate coding of the resident's opioid use in the assessment.
Failure to Refer Resident for Level II PASARR Evaluation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to refer a resident with a diagnosed mental disorder to the appropriate state-designated authority for a Level II PASARR evaluation. Resident #10 was admitted with diagnoses including Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. However, a review of the resident's electronic medical record revealed no evidence that a Level II PASARR had been submitted with these psychiatric diagnoses. During an interview, the Director of Nursing confirmed that the initial pre-admission screening did not indicate any psychiatric diagnoses, despite the resident having these diagnoses since admission. Additionally, a Notice of Medical Certification for continued stay was submitted without acknowledging the resident's mental health conditions, which should have been identified.
Failure to Update Resident's Code Status in Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive resident-centered care plan for a resident by not updating the care plan to reflect the resident's code status. The facility's policy on Residents' Rights Regarding Treatment and Advance Directives requires that decisions regarding advance directives and treatment be periodically reviewed and documented in the resident's medical record. However, the care plan for the resident in question inaccurately documented the resident as a Full Code, despite the presence of a physician's order and a LaPOST form indicating a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) status with comfort-focused treatment. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including Heart Failure, Hypersomnia, and Traumatic Brain Injury. A review of the resident's Electronic Health Record (EHR) and hard chart confirmed the DNR status, but the care plan did not reflect this. During a record review and interview, the Minimum Data Set/Licensed Practical Nurse (MDS/LPN) confirmed the discrepancy between the care plan and the physician's order. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) also confirmed the inconsistency, acknowledging that the resident's code status was not accurately documented in the care plan.
Improper Storage of Respiratory Equipment for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly store respiratory equipment for two residents, leading to deficiencies in respiratory care. Resident #18, who has diagnoses including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Heart Failure, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Respiratory Failure, was observed multiple times with her BiPAP mask hanging over her recliner, not in use, and not stored in a respiratory bag as required by the facility's policy. This was confirmed by a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who acknowledged that the mask should have been stored properly while the resident was at a doctor's appointment. Similarly, Resident #75, with diagnoses of Acute and Chronic Respiratory Failure with Hypoxia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, was observed with a nebulizer mask lying open to air on his bedside table, not stored in a respiratory bag. This was confirmed by both an LPN and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), who admitted to placing the nebulizer mask on the table without storing it properly. Both residents were cognitively intact, as indicated by their Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) scores.
Failure to Adhere to Enhanced Barrier Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by the actions of two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) who did not adhere to the Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) policy while providing care to a resident. The policy required the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact activities to prevent the transmission of multi-drug resistant organisms. Despite the presence of a sign indicating EBP and a PPE station stocked with necessary supplies outside the resident's room, the CNAs entered the room without donning gowns while changing the resident's soiled brief. The resident involved had a medical history that included Gastrostomy Status, Disturbances of Salivary Secretion, and Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease, and was unable to participate in assessments due to a blank Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score. The resident was always incontinent of bowel and bladder and had a feeding tube, which necessitated the use of EBP. Interviews with the CNAs confirmed their awareness of the EBP requirement and the availability of PPE, yet they failed to comply with the policy. The Director of Nursing/Infection Preventionist also confirmed the necessity of wearing gowns and gloves for high-contact activities under EBP.
