Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pelican Pointe Healthcare And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident, who was cognitively intact, reported that CNAs were not responding promptly to her call bell, affecting her ability to use the restroom. Despite the grievance being acknowledged by the DON and an LPN, there was no evidence of a thorough investigation, violating the facility's grievance policy.
A facility failed to accurately code a resident's MDS for anticoagulant use. The MDS indicated anticoagulant use, but a review of physician orders showed no such medication was prescribed. A staff member confirmed the resident had not received anticoagulants and acknowledged the coding error.
A facility failed to include a physician's order for an AFO brace in a resident's care plan. The resident, with a history of cerebral infarction and hemiplegia, was observed with the brace, but staff interviews revealed no order was issued by the therapy department, and nursing staff were unaware of any order. This oversight resulted in a deficiency in the resident's care plan.
A resident with impaired cognition and mobility issues fell while transferring from bed to wheelchair due to wearing regular socks instead of nonskid socks. The facility failed to update the care plan to include nonskid socks as a fall prevention measure, despite acknowledging the improper footwear as a factor in the fall. Interviews revealed the resident lacked access to clean nonskid socks, underscoring the oversight.
A facility failed to document daily assessments of a resident's dialysis site, as required by their care plan and facility policy. The resident, with Chronic Kidney Disease and End Stage Renal Disease, had a hemodialysis catheter and received dialysis three times a week. However, the nursing staff only assessed the site upon the resident's return from dialysis, not daily, which was confirmed by both an LPN and the DON.
A resident with a cognitive score indicating intact mental status reported a bruise caused by CNAs during a shower. The LPN observed the bruise but did not document or report it, assuming it was due to repositioning. The DON was unaware of the incident until informed by a surveyor and confirmed the bruise's presence, acknowledging the need for documentation and reporting.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses was not provided with the required divided plate or bowl during meal times, as observed in a survey. The facility's policy mandates adaptive eating devices for those who need them, but the resident was seen eating from a regular plate, confirmed by an LPN and the Dietary Manager.
The facility failed to follow professional standards for food service safety by not labeling and cleaning opened refrigerated food items in the kitchen. Items such as sweet and sour sauce, Italian dressing, sour cream, nectar thick liquid, and ham base were found opened and unlabeled. The Dietary Manager confirmed these findings, acknowledging the oversight, which could potentially impact the 115 residents consuming food from the kitchen.
A resident with ESBL and a UTI was not provided with appropriate PPE while on contact precautions. The resident was observed moving through the facility and participating in therapy without PPE, contrary to the facility's policy. The infection preventionist confirmed the oversight, and the occupational therapist was unaware of the precautions.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment and mobility issues was found to have a bed with a 6-inch gap between the mattress and assist bars, posing a safety risk. The facility failed to adjust the bed frame after replacing a bariatric mattress with a regular-sized one, and lacked a process to assess mattress compatibility, leading to the deficiency.
The facility failed to coordinate hospice care for four residents, not providing them with a choice of hospice provider and lacking necessary documentation such as hospice plans of care and certifications. Additionally, the facility did not notify the hospice agency of an alleged abuse incident involving a resident. These deficiencies were confirmed through interviews and record reviews, highlighting lapses in communication and documentation.
Failure to Investigate Resident Grievance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all grievances were thoroughly investigated, as evidenced by the case of a resident who voiced concerns about the response time of CNAs to her call bell. The resident, who was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, expressed her grievance on September 25, 2024, stating that CNAs were not responding quickly enough to assist her to the restroom, and she did not want to use a brief when she could go to the restroom. Despite the resident's clear communication of her needs, the facility did not conduct a thorough investigation into her grievance. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and an LPN revealed that while the resident's grievance was acknowledged, there was no evidence of a comprehensive investigation. The DON admitted to speaking with the resident but could not recall specific details about the CNA involved or the shift in question. Similarly, the LPN confirmed speaking with the resident but was unable to provide documentation of any investigative efforts. This lack of documentation and follow-through indicates a failure to adhere to the facility's grievance policy, which mandates thorough investigation and resolution of resident grievances.
MDS Coding Error for Anticoagulant Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code a resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) regarding anticoagulant use. Specifically, the MDS for a resident indicated that they were taking anticoagulants, but a review of the resident's August 2024 physician orders did not show any order for such medication. During an interview, the staff member responsible for the MDS confirmed that the resident had not received any anticoagulant medication and acknowledged making an error in coding the resident for anticoagulant use.
Lack of Physician's Order for AFO Brace
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident, specifically regarding the use of an Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) brace. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including Cerebral Infarction and Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis of the right dominant side, was observed with an AFO brace on the right lower leg. However, there was no physician's order for the brace in the resident's clinical record. Interviews with staff, including a CNA, a PT, and two LPNs, revealed that the therapy department did not issue an order for the AFO brace, and the nursing staff were unaware of any such order. This lack of documentation and communication led to the deficiency in the resident's care plan.
Failure to Update Care Plan After Resident Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to revise the care plan for a resident after a fall incident, which was a deficiency identified during the survey. The resident, who had moderately impaired cognition and used a wheelchair or walker for mobility, was at risk for falls due to unsteadiness and medication use. The care plan initially included interventions such as anti-rollbacks for the wheelchair, a clutter-free pathway, and reminders to ask for assistance during transfers. However, after the resident fell while attempting to transfer from bed to wheelchair due to wearing regular socks instead of nonskid socks, the care plan was not updated to address this specific risk factor. The incident report and progress notes indicated that the resident slipped because of improper footwear, specifically the lack of nonskid socks, which was acknowledged by the staff. Despite this, the care plan was not revised to include the use of nonskid socks as a fall prevention measure. Subsequent interviews with the resident revealed that he did not have access to clean nonskid socks, as they were in the laundry, further highlighting the oversight in updating the care plan to ensure the resident's safety.
Failure to Document Daily Dialysis Site Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received dialysis care consistent with accepted professional standards and the resident's comprehensive person-centered care plan. Specifically, the nursing staff did not document the daily assessment and monitoring of the resident's dialysis site. The facility's policy required the dialysis site to be assessed and monitored for bleeding or abnormalities as ordered by the physician. However, a review of the resident's electronic health record revealed no evidence of such assessments being documented. The resident in question was admitted with diagnoses including Chronic Kidney Disease, End Stage Renal Disease, and Dependence on Renal Dialysis. The care plan indicated that the resident received dialysis three times a week and had a double lumen tunneled hemodialysis catheter placed. Despite this, the nursing staff only assessed the dialysis access site upon the resident's return from the dialysis center and documented it on the dialysis communication form, rather than daily as required. This was confirmed by both an LPN and the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the lack of documented evidence for daily assessments.
Failure to Assess and Report Resident Bruise
Penalty
Summary
The facility's nursing staff failed to demonstrate appropriate competency and skills by not assessing and reporting a bruise on a resident's forearm. The resident, who was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15, reported that the bruise was caused by CNAs pulling on her arm during a shower. Despite observing the bruise, the LPN did not document an assessment or report the incident, believing the CNAs were merely trying to reposition the resident. The Director of Nursing (DON) was unaware of the bruise until it was pointed out by the surveyor. Upon inspection, the DON confirmed the presence of a large purple bruise on the resident's right forearm. The resident reiterated that the bruise occurred 3 to 4 days prior during a shower when a CNA pulled on her arm. The DON acknowledged that the nurse should have documented the bruise and reported the incident.
Failure to Provide Assistive Eating Device
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an assistive device at meal times for a resident who required it, as observed during a survey. The facility's policy on adaptive eating devices mandates that such devices be available for those who need them, and that the food service department is responsible for ensuring each resident receives the appropriate feeding devices. However, during an observation, a resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including aphasia, dysphagia, and Parkinson's disease, was seen eating from a regular plate instead of the required divided plate or bowl. This resident's care plan specifically noted the need for a divided high-sided plate or bowl due to their risk for weight fluctuations and malnutrition. The deficiency was confirmed through interviews with facility staff, including an LPN and the Dietary Manager, who acknowledged that the resident should have been served with a divided plate or bowl. The resident's dietary card also indicated the need for a divided plate or bowl, which was not provided during the observed meal. This oversight highlights a failure in the facility's procedure to ensure that adaptive devices are provided as required by the resident's care plan and dietary card.
Improper Food Storage and Labeling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety by not properly storing, preparing, distributing, and serving food. During an observation of the kitchen's walk-in cooler, several refrigerated food items were found opened, used, and not labeled with the date they were opened. These items included a container of sweet and sour sauce with sticky residue on the outside, a container of Italian dressing, a container of sour cream, two plastic bottles of nectar thick liquid, and a container of ham base. The Dietary Manager confirmed these findings and acknowledged that all opened food items should have been cleaned and labeled with an open date, which was not done. This deficiency had the potential to affect the 115 residents who consumed food prepared in the kitchen.
Failure to Enforce Contact Precautions for Resident with ESBL
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) was worn by staff and a resident who was on contact transmission-based precautions. This deficiency was observed in the case of a resident diagnosed with Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) Resistance and a urinary tract infection (UTI). The resident's care plan required contact precautions, including the use of gowns and gloves for interactions that might involve contact with the resident or potentially contaminated areas. Despite these requirements, the resident was observed propelling herself in a wheelchair down the hall and into the dining hall without PPE, and later participating in therapy in the gym without PPE, in the presence of other residents and staff. The facility's infection preventionist confirmed that the resident was on contact precautions and should have had therapy conducted in her room. However, the occupational therapist working with the resident was unaware of the contact precautions and allowed the resident to participate in therapy in the gym. The infection preventionist and corporate registered nurse verified that the resident's room had a sign indicating contact precautions, but the precautions were not followed, leading to the deficiency.
Improper Mattress Fit Leads to Safety Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct regular inspections of beds for proper mattress fit, leading to a deficiency involving a resident. The resident, who was admitted with conditions including insomnia, atrial fibrillation, a history of falling, and a healing femur fracture, was found to have a bed with a significant safety issue. Observations revealed a 6-inch gap between the mattress and the assist bars on both sides of the bed, indicating that the mattress was too small for the bed frame. This gap was confirmed by facility staff, who acknowledged that the bed frame had been extended to accommodate a bariatric mattress, but the mattress had been replaced with a regular-sized one without adjusting the frame. The resident's medical records indicated moderate cognitive impairment and a need for substantial assistance with mobility, making the proper fit of the mattress crucial for safety. The facility's lack of a process to assess beds for mattress incompatibility contributed to this oversight. The owner's manual for the bed model used by the facility warned of potential hazards from incompatible mattresses, emphasizing the need for accurate assessment and monitoring to prevent entrapment. Despite these warnings, the facility did not have measures in place to ensure the correct mattress size was used, resulting in the identified deficiency.
Failure to Coordinate Hospice Care and Notify of Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to coordinate hospice care services for four residents, as evidenced by the lack of choice in hospice provider, missing documentation, and failure to notify the hospice agency of an alleged abuse incident. Residents and their responsible parties were not given the option to choose from different hospice providers, as the facility directed them to use their contracted hospice service. This lack of choice was confirmed through interviews with the responsible parties of the residents. Additionally, the facility did not maintain up-to-date hospice documentation for the residents. The electronic health records (EHR) of the residents lacked recent hospice care conference summary reports, initial certifications, and recertifications of terminal illness, as well as hospice plans of care (POC). The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that these documents were not current and were not scanned into the EHR, indicating a failure in maintaining proper records. Furthermore, the facility did not notify the hospice agency of an alleged abuse incident involving one of the residents. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator confirmed that the hospice company should have been informed about the incident, but there was no documentation to indicate that this notification occurred. This oversight highlights a significant lapse in communication and coordination with the hospice agency, which is crucial for the residents' care and safety.
