Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Port Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident alleged being slapped by a CNA, but the incident was not reported immediately to the Administrator or DON as required by the facility's abuse policy. The resident, with intact cognitive functioning, reported the incident to a nurse, who informed the Charge Nurse, but the report was delayed until the Unit Manager discovered it days later. Additionally, the facility failed to conduct a required NAR check for the CNA before employment.
A resident with a stage 3 pressure ulcer did not have a comprehensive care plan addressing the existing skin breakdown, and the facility failed to implement required bed and chair alarms as per the falls care plan. Despite physician orders and care plan requirements, the alarms were not in place, and the care plan was not updated upon the resident's readmission. Interviews with staff confirmed these deficiencies, indicating a lapse in executing and updating care plans as per facility policy.
A resident with diabetes and other conditions developed a new wound on the left buttock, but the LTC facility delayed treatment for two days. The facility's policy requires immediate intervention for new skin areas, but the resident's medical record lacked documentation of the wound's condition and care plan. The DON acknowledged the need for immediate action but could not provide specific details about the wound.
The facility failed to label insulin pens with resident names, open dates, and expiration dates, as required by professional principles. During an observation, two Lantus insulin pens were found in a medication cart without proper labeling, making it impossible to identify the intended residents. Interviews with nursing staff confirmed the deficiency, acknowledging the need for proper labeling to ensure medication viability.
Failure to Report Abuse Allegation and Conduct NAR Check
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its abuse policy regarding the immediate reporting of abuse allegations. On a specific date, a resident alleged that a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) slapped them on the forearm during care. Although the resident reported the incident to a nurse, and the nurse subsequently informed the Charge Nurse, neither of them reported the allegation to the Administrator or Director of Nursing (DON) immediately, as required by the facility's policy. Instead, the written statements were placed in the Unit Manager's mailbox, delaying the report until the following Monday when the Unit Manager discovered the statements and informed the DON. The resident involved in the incident had a history of a fracture and anxiety, and their cognitive functioning was intact, as indicated by a perfect score on a mental status assessment. The resident was able to communicate effectively and reported the incident promptly. Despite this, the staff failed to follow the mandated reporting procedures, resulting in a delay in addressing the allegation of abuse. Additionally, the facility did not conduct a required Nurse Aide Registry (NAR) check for the CNA involved in the incident before their employment. The CNA was an agency-contracted employee, and the responsibility for the NAR check was assumed to be with the agency. However, it was later discovered that the check had not been completed, which was a violation of the facility's screening protocol for new employees.
Failure to Implement Comprehensive Care Plan and Safety Measures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident who was admitted with a stage 3 pressure ulcer. Despite the presence of a wound on the sacrum, the resident's care plan did not include a specific plan for addressing the actual skin breakdown. The resident's initial wound consult form and subsequent wound consultant notes confirmed the presence of the stage 3 pressure ulcer, yet the care plan only addressed potential skin breakdown, not the existing condition. Interviews with the charge nurse and the Director of Nurses revealed that the care plan should have been updated upon the resident's readmission from the hospital to include the stage 3 pressure injury. Additionally, the facility failed to implement bed and chair alarms for the resident as indicated in the falls plan of care. Observations over several days showed that the resident did not have bed or chair alarms in place, despite physician orders and the active falls care plan requiring them. The resident confirmed the absence of alarms since admission, and the September Treatment Administration Record inaccurately documented that alarms were applied every shift. Interviews with the CNA and charge nurse indicated that the alarms had not been used since mid-August, and the plan of care and physician's orders were not followed or updated. The facility's policy on interdisciplinary care planning emphasizes the need for ongoing execution and modification of care plans to meet residents' needs. However, in this case, the care plan was not updated to reflect the resident's current condition, and the required interventions for fall prevention were not implemented. This oversight highlights a failure in the facility's processes for ensuring that care plans are comprehensive and executed as intended.
Delayed Wound Treatment for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility delayed the implementation of a wound treatment for a resident who developed a new wound. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including diabetes, osteoarthritis, and muscle weakness, was found to have an open area on the left buttock. Despite the resident being cognitively intact and reporting the wound, the facility did not apply any treatment for the first couple of days after the wound was discovered. The Treatment Administration Record indicated that the wound treatment was initiated two days after the wound was first noted. The facility's policy on pressure injury prevention and treatment requires immediate investigation, reporting to the physician, and implementation of new interventions for any new skin areas. However, the medical record for the resident failed to document further notes describing the new open area, and the care plans did not indicate an actual skin breakdown care plan had been initiated. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that new skin areas should be addressed immediately and that residents with wounds should have measurements documented, but was unable to provide specific details regarding the resident's wounds.
Improper Labeling of Insulin Pens
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals, specifically insulin pens, were labeled in accordance with currently accepted professional principles. During an observation, it was noted that two Lantus insulin pens in a medication cart on the [NAME] unit were not labeled with the required open and expiration dates. Additionally, the resident names on the pens were illegible, making it impossible to determine which resident each pen was intended for. This oversight was confirmed during interviews with nursing staff, who acknowledged the requirement for insulin pens to be labeled with the resident's name, open date, and expiration date, as they are only viable for 28 days after opening. The facility's policy on medication storage, revised in December 2019, mandates that certain medications, including multi-dose injectable vials, must have an expiration date shorter than the manufacturer's expiration date once opened. Despite this policy, the insulin pens observed did not comply with these labeling requirements. Interviews with Nurse #1, Charge Nurse #2, and the Director of Nurses confirmed the deficiency, as they all recognized the necessity for proper labeling to ensure medication purity and potency. The failure to label the insulin pens appropriately represents a deviation from the facility's established procedures and professional standards.
