Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Louisiana Extended Care Hospital Of Lafayette during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to create person-centered baseline care plans for seven residents within 48 hours of admission, resulting in a lack of specific goals and interventions for conditions such as fractures, cardiac defibrillators, and various medications. The Chief Nursing Officer confirmed that the care plans were not tailored to individual needs, potentially impacting the quality of care.
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, with key policies not reviewed annually since 2020. Additionally, a resident with a urinary tract infection and Foley catheter did not have Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) implemented, as staff were unaware of EBP requirements. This oversight was confirmed by the facility's CNO and DON, indicating a lack of understanding and implementation of EBP.
The facility failed to ensure the designated Infection Preventionist (IP) had the necessary training and certification. The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), acting as the IP, lacked specialized Infection Prevention and Control training and was unfamiliar with key procedures. Despite claims of completed training, documentation showed the required training was not completed, potentially affecting 10 residents.
A facility failed to notify the State LTC Ombudsman of a resident's hospital transfer. The resident, diagnosed with a stage 4 large cell neuroendocrine tumor, was transferred per physician orders. The DON was unaware of the notification requirement and did not provide the Emergency Transfer Log when requested. This oversight could impact 10 residents.
Failure to Develop Person-Centered Baseline Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement person-centered baseline care plans for seven residents within 48 hours of their admission. These care plans are essential for addressing the residents' immediate needs and ensuring appropriate interventions are in place. The deficiencies were identified through record reviews and interviews, revealing that the facility's computer system generated generalized care plans that were not specific to the individual needs of the residents. For instance, one resident with a left wrist splint and pelvic fractures did not have a baseline care plan that included goals and interventions for these conditions. Another resident with a cardiac defibrillator and a right great toe fracture also lacked a care plan addressing these specific medical needs. Additionally, residents requiring insulin, anticoagulants, antianxiety, antidepressant, opioid, and diuretic medications did not have corresponding goals and interventions outlined in their baseline care plans. The Chief Nursing Officer confirmed these findings, acknowledging that the care plans generated by the facility's system were not tailored to the residents' specific conditions. This lack of individualized care planning could potentially impact the quality of care provided to the residents, as their unique medical needs were not adequately addressed in the initial care plans.
Inadequate Infection Control Program and Lack of Enhanced Barrier Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program (IPCP) as evidenced by the lack of annual review of its policies and procedures. Key policies, including those related to pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccinations, as well as the infection control committee and plan, had not been updated since their initial effective dates, some dating back to 2020. This oversight was confirmed by the facility's Chief Nursing Officer, who also served as the designated Infection Preventionist, acknowledging that these policies should have been reviewed annually. Additionally, the facility did not implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) for a resident with a urinary tract infection who had a Foley catheter. Observations revealed that staff assisted the resident without using personal protective equipment, and there were no signs indicating the need for EBP in the resident's room. Interviews with staff, including a Licensed Practical Nurse and the Director of Nursing, indicated a lack of understanding and implementation of EBP, with the Director of Nursing being unaware of what EBP entailed. This lack of knowledge and implementation of EBP had the potential to affect the facility's census of 10.
Inadequate Training for Infection Preventionist
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the designated Infection Preventionist (IP) possessed the necessary knowledge and skills for the role, as evidenced by the lack of specialized Infection Prevention and Control training. The Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), who assumed the role of IP after the previous IP resigned in April 2024, confirmed during an interview that he did not hold an Infection Preventionist certificate and had not received any specialized training from the former IP. Additionally, the CNO had not reviewed the facility's Infection Prevention and Control Program (IPCP) policies and procedures for the year and was unfamiliar with Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP). Although the Administrator stated that the CNO completed IP training in July 2022, a review of the Infection Control Nurse Competency Checklist revealed that the required specialized training had not been completed. This deficiency had the potential to affect a census of 10 residents.
Failure to Notify Ombudsman of Resident Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the State Long Term Care Ombudsman of a facility-initiated transfer for a resident who was hospitalized. The resident, who was admitted with a diagnosis including a stage 4 large cell neuroendocrine tumor, was transferred to the hospital on December 14, 2024, as per physician orders. Despite requests made to the Director of Nursing (S2DON) on February 17, 2025, for the facility's Emergency Transfer Log sent to the Ombudsman, the documentation was not provided by the time of the survey exit. During an interview, S2DON admitted to marking hospital transfers on a paper calendar and was unaware of the requirement to notify the Ombudsman of such transfers. This oversight has the potential to affect a census of 10 residents.
