Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Landmark Of Lake Charles during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents with newly identified mental health diagnoses were not referred for required Level II PASARR evaluation after their initial screenings failed to indicate mental illness. The LPN responsible for PASARR confirmed that the necessary resubmission for Level II determination was not completed after the residents received qualifying psychiatric diagnoses.
The facility did not provide documentation verifying that its full-time social worker was qualified, as required for facilities with more than 120 beds. Despite multiple requests, the social worker and facility staff were unable to produce a diploma or transcript confirming the required educational background.
A resident with multiple psychiatric diagnoses and a Level II PASARR determination for intellectual/developmental disability had several MDS assessments incorrectly coded as not having serious mental illness or intellectual disability. An LPN confirmed the PASARR information was inaccurately recorded in the MDS.
The facility's kitchen failed to maintain sanitary conditions, with debris on the deep fryer, expired and unlabeled food items in the walk-in cooler and dry storage, and a dirty food service cart. These issues were confirmed by the Dietary Supervisor and had the potential to affect 87 residents.
A facility failed to accurately code a resident's MDS assessment for hospice care. Despite a physician's order for hospice care due to End Stage Neural Vascular Dementia, the MDS assessment incorrectly indicated the resident was not receiving hospice care. This error was confirmed by an LPN during a review.
A facility failed to refer a resident with Major Depressive Disorder and Psychotic Disorder for a Level II PASARR evaluation. The resident's Level I PASARR screening incorrectly indicated no mental illness, and no Level II PASARR was submitted. An LPN confirmed the oversight during an interview.
A facility failed to properly store a resident's oxygen equipment according to its infection control policy. The resident, with a history of acute respiratory failure and other conditions, had oxygen tubing observed twice laying over the concentrator instead of in a labeled bag. An LPN confirmed the improper storage and could not recall the last use of the oxygen.
Failure to Refer Residents for Level II PASARR Evaluation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to refer residents with diagnosed mental disorders to the appropriate state-designated authority for Level II PASARR evaluation and determination. Specifically, two residents were admitted with or later developed diagnoses such as major depressive disorder with severe psychotic symptoms, mood disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, psychotic disorder with delusions, and delirium. Despite these qualifying psychiatric diagnoses, their Level I PASARR screenings indicated 'No' to the presence or suspicion of mental illness, and there was no evidence that a Level II PASARR had been submitted for either resident. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the LPN responsible for PASARR acknowledged the oversight, confirming that both residents had received qualifying diagnoses after the initial PASARR was completed. The staff member further confirmed that the Level I PASARR should have been resubmitted to reflect the new diagnoses for a Level II determination, but this was not done. This failure was identified through record reviews and staff interviews during the survey.
Failure to Provide Qualified Full-Time Social Worker Credentials
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that it employed a qualified social worker on a full-time basis, as required for facilities with more than 120 beds. During interviews and record reviews, the administrator and administrative assistant were unable to provide documentation of the social worker's credentials. The individual identified as the facility's social worker stated she had a bachelor's degree in social work but was unable to produce her diploma or an official transcript when requested. Multiple attempts were made to obtain proof of her qualifications, including requests for her diploma and transcript, but no documentation was provided by the time of the survey. The facility, with 130 licensed beds, could not demonstrate that the social worker met the necessary qualifications.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for PASARR Status
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment accurately reflected a resident's status regarding serious mental illness and intellectual or developmental disability. A review of the resident's medical records showed an admission with multiple psychiatric diagnoses, including severe depression with psychotic features, major depressive disorder, persistent mood disorder, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. The resident's Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASARR) indicated a Level II determination, confirming that the individual met state criteria for intellectual/developmental disability. Despite this, multiple MDS assessments for the resident, conducted on three separate dates, were coded as 'no' in section A1500, indicating the resident was not considered by the state Level II PASARR process to have a serious mental illness or intellectual disability. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview with an LPN, who acknowledged that the PASARR information was incorrectly coded and did not accurately reflect the resident's status as determined by the state process.
Sanitation and Food Storage Deficiencies in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in the kitchen, as evidenced by several observations during a survey. The deep fryer had a thick layer of debris in the cooking oil collection area, which was confirmed by the Dietary Supervisor (S1DS) to have not been cleaned after its last use. Additionally, the walk-in cooler contained expired food items, including unopened squeeze bottles of strawberry jam, a large opened container of Caesar dressing, mayonnaise tartar dressing, and an opened gallon of milk. These items were confirmed by S1DS to be expired and should have been discarded. Furthermore, several opened food items in the cooler, such as a large bag of garlic bread toast, hot dog buns, and sour cream, were not labeled with the date and time they were opened, which S1DS acknowledged should have been done. In the dry storage room, expired food items were also found, including a plastic gallon bag with an opened bag of blueberry muffin mix and two plastic gallon bags with opened bags of white frosting mix. These items were confirmed by S1DS to be expired and should have been discarded. Additionally, during an observation of the food service line, a cart used for tray distribution was found to have multiple areas of sticky residue and food debris. S1DS confirmed that the cart was not cleaned after its previous use, which was against the facility's protocol. These deficiencies had the potential to affect the 87 residents who consumed food from the kitchen.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Hospice Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code a resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment regarding hospice care. The resident, who was admitted to the facility with a terminal diagnosis of End Stage Neural Vascular Dementia, had a physician's order for hospice care dated 06/06/2024. However, the Quarterly MDS assessment with an Assessment Reference Date (ARD) of 09/09/2024 incorrectly indicated that the resident was not receiving hospice care. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview and record review with an LPN, who acknowledged the resident's hospice admission and the inaccurate coding on the MDS 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. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including Major Depressive Disorder and Dementia, and later had a Psychotic Disorder with Delusion added. Despite these diagnoses, the Level I PASARR screening incorrectly indicated that the resident did not have a mental illness, and no Level II PASARR was submitted. An interview with the LPN responsible for PASARRs confirmed that the diagnoses were not identified on the Level I screening and that a Level II determination should have been sought but was not.
Improper Storage of Oxygen Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary care and services in accordance with professional standards of practice by not ensuring proper storage of a resident's oxygen equipment. Specifically, the oxygen tubing for a resident with a history of acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, vascular dementia, and dyspnea was observed on two occasions to be improperly stored over the oxygen concentrator instead of in a labeled plastic bag as required by the facility's infection control policy. The resident had a physician's order for oxygen at 2 liters per nasal cannula as needed for dyspnea, and the oxygen was not in use at the time of the observations. An LPN confirmed the improper storage and was unable to recall the last time the resident used the oxygen.
