Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Autumn Lake Healthcare At Crofton during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident was administered medications by a staff member despite their verbal refusal, with a witness confirming the resident was given medications not prescribed to them. The DON questioned the classification of the incident as abuse, but the surveyor clarified that administering medication after refusal is considered abuse.
Three residents experienced deficiencies in care, including delayed treatment for a new eye complaint, lack of access to a critical digestive medication resulting in inability to eat, and repeated failure by staff to follow physician orders for blood pressure measurement sites in a resident with dialysis access. Staff did not consistently document or communicate clinical concerns, failed to ensure medication availability, and did not adhere to posted and charted care instructions.
A significant medication error occurred when a staff member administered losartan and gabapentin to a resident who was not prescribed these medications, despite the resident's verbal refusal and confusion. The incident was witnessed by another staff member, and the error was later confirmed through documentation and interviews with facility leadership.
Failure to Protect Resident from Abuse During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
A facility failed to protect a resident from abuse when a staff member administered medications to a resident who had refused them. According to the facility-reported incident, a staff member was alleged to have shoved incorrect medications into the resident's mouth despite the resident's verbal refusal. Progress notes indicated that the resident inadvertently received losartan and gabapentin, which were not prescribed to them. A witness statement from another staff member confirmed that the resident was yelling and questioning the medications being given, explicitly refusing them. The staff member proceeded to put a spoon in the resident's mouth and administered the medications. The witness then informed the staff member that the medications given were not prescribed for the resident, confirming a medication administration error. The Director of Nursing was interviewed and questioned the classification of the incident as abuse, but the surveyor clarified that administering medication after a resident's refusal constitutes abuse.
Failure to Provide Timely Treatment, Medication, and Adherence to Physician Orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and care according to physician orders, resident preferences, and goals in three separate incidents involving three residents. In the first incident, a resident reported experiencing crusting and itching in the eyes to an LPN, who verbally informed the attending physician but did not document the concern in the electronic health record or follow up when the physician did not immediately address the issue. The physician was unaware of the complaint during the initial visit and only addressed the concern days later after being informed. The lack of documentation and follow-up resulted in a delay in treatment for the resident's eye symptoms. In the second incident, a resident with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and a prescription for Zenpep (pancrelipase) to aid digestion was admitted to the facility but did not receive the medication as ordered. The medication was not available upon admission, and the resident was unable to eat during the entire stay. Although the pharmacy notified the facility via fax that the medication was unavailable and required a dose change, there was no evidence that staff followed up with the physician or nurse practitioner. The resident left the facility the next day, having not received the necessary medication or food for 19 hours. In the third incident, a resident with a history of hemodialysis and recent AV graft placement had clear physician orders and signage indicating that blood pressure measurements should only be taken on the lower extremities, not the arms. Despite these orders, staff documented 27 instances of blood pressure measurements taken on the resident's arms after the orders were in place. Interviews revealed that staff were either unaware of the orders or did not follow them, and documentation errors were also noted. These failures demonstrate a lack of adherence to physician orders and proper communication among staff regarding resident care requirements.
Significant Medication Error Due to Improper Administration
Penalty
Summary
A significant medication error occurred when a staff member administered losartan 100 mg and gabapentin 100 mg to a resident who was not prescribed these medications. The incident was observed by another staff member, who witnessed the resident verbally refusing the medication and questioning what was being given. Despite the resident's refusal and expressed confusion, the staff member proceeded to place a spoon in the resident's mouth and administered the medications. The error was later confirmed through review of the resident's progress notes and staff interviews. The provider documented that the resident inadvertently received the medications and outlined the symptoms to monitor as a result. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the medication error was substantiated, while the associated abuse allegation was deemed inconclusive. The incident was identified during a review of a facility-reported incident and corroborated by a witness statement from another staff member.
