Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ormond Nursing & Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with dementia and moderate cognitive impairment, known to exhibit exit-seeking behaviors and wearing a security bracelet, did not have a care plan addressing elopement risk until prompted by surveyors. Staff were aware of the resident's repeated attempts to leave, but no measurable objectives or interventions were documented in the care plan as required by facility policy.
A resident who was a current tobacco user was observed removing a lighter from his pocket and lighting a cigarette on the smoker's patio, despite facility policy requiring smoking supplies to be stored at the nursing station. Staff, including an LPN and the Regional Administrator, confirmed that residents should not have lighters and were unaware the resident had one, indicating a failure to enforce the facility's smoking policy.
A resident with multiple medical conditions, including COPD and GERD, did not receive Ondansetron as ordered by the physician. Facility policy requires nursing staff to ensure medications are administered according to physician orders, but interviews with the DON and ADON confirmed the medication was not given as prescribed.
A facility failed to issue a written discharge notice to a resident and their representative before discharging the resident due to unpaid bed hold payments. The ADON stated that the cost was explained to the representative, but no documentation of a discharge notice was provided. The administrator could not explain the absence of the notice.
Two residents were not assessed for self-administration of medications as per facility policy. One resident was found with a medication cup containing tablets left by an LPN, and another had a container with ointment. Both residents were cognitively intact, but there was no documented physician's order for self-administration or permission to keep medications at the bedside, as confirmed by the DON.
A facility failed to ensure a resident with PTSD had an accurate PASARR. The resident's PTSD diagnosis was not selected as a mental illness in their Level I PASARR, and a Level II PASARR was not completed or submitted for review. Interviews with staff confirmed the absence of a Level II PASARR and lack of documentation.
Failure to Develop Care Plan for Resident at Risk of Elopement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a care plan addressing exit-seeking behaviors for a resident with moderate cognitive impairment and a diagnosis of dementia. Despite documentation indicating the resident was at risk for elopement and the use of a security bracelet/elopement alarm, there was no evidence that a care plan with measurable objectives and timeframes was created when the risk was first identified or when the security device was initiated. Staff interviews confirmed the resident frequently asked for keys and ways to leave the facility, and that the risk for elopement was known among nursing staff. Record reviews and staff interviews further revealed that the care plan process policy required individualized care plans to address residents' unique needs and to be updated as necessary. However, the resident's care plan did not include interventions or goals related to elopement risk until the day of the surveyor's inquiry, despite the risk being documented months earlier. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the care plan should have been developed when the risk was initially identified, but this was not done until prompted by the survey.
Resident Found in Possession of Cigarette Lighter in Violation of Smoking Policy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to enforce its smoking policy, which prohibits residents from possessing cigarette lighters in their rooms and requires that such items be stored at the nursing station. During an observation, a resident who was a current tobacco user was seen removing a lighter from his pocket and using it to light a cigarette on the smoker's patio. Review of the resident's care plan indicated that smoking supplies were to be stored according to facility policy. Interviews with facility staff, including an LPN and the Regional Administrator, confirmed that residents should not have lighters in their possession and that staff were unaware the resident had a lighter. This lapse in supervision and policy enforcement resulted in the resident having access to a cigarette lighter, contrary to facility regulations.
Failure to Administer Ordered Medication
Penalty
Summary
Nursing personnel failed to administer a prescribed medication as ordered for one resident. According to the facility's medication administration policy, nursing staff are required to ensure that medications match the physician's orders and are given in the proper dose. Record review showed that a resident with diagnoses including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and unspecified psychosis was admitted and had a physician's order for Ondansetron 4 mg by mouth every 6 hours for three days. However, interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) confirmed that the resident did not receive the Ondansetron as ordered.
Failure to Provide Written Discharge Notice
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a written notice of discharge to a resident and the resident's representative prior to the resident's discharge. This deficiency was identified for one of the two sampled residents reviewed for discharge requirements. The clinical record review revealed that the resident was admitted to the facility and later discharged because the resident's representative was unable to make the bed hold payments. During an interview, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) indicated that the cost of the bed hold was explained to the resident's representative, who did not make the necessary payments. However, there was no documented evidence that a written notice of discharge was issued to the resident or the representative before the discharge. The facility's administrator could not provide an explanation for the lack of a written discharge notice.
Failure to Assess Residents for Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to assess two residents for self-administration of medications, as required by their policies. Resident #22, who was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, was observed with a disposable medication cup containing seven tablets on the bedside table. The resident indicated that the nurse left the medications for self-administration when feeling better. The LPN confirmed that she did not ensure the resident swallowed the medications during administration, and there was no documented evidence of a physician's order allowing self-administration or keeping medications at the bedside. Similarly, Resident #97, also cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, was found with a clear plastic container on the bed containing a box of Betamethasone Valerate ointment. The resident stated that the ointment was kept for potential future use. There was no documented evidence of a physician's order for self-administration or permission to keep medications at the bedside. The DON confirmed the absence of such orders for both residents, indicating a failure to adhere to the facility's policies regarding medication administration.
Failure to Complete Accurate PASARR for Resident with PTSD
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with a mental illness had an accurate PASARR (Preadmission Screening and Resident Review). Resident #67, who was admitted with a diagnosis of PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), did not have this diagnosis selected as a mental illness in their Level I PASARR dated 10/07/2020. Furthermore, the facility did not complete or submit a Level II PASARR for the resident's PTSD diagnosis to the required agency for review. Interviews with the Social Service Director and the Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed the absence of a Level II PASARR and the lack of documented evidence for its completion and submission.
