Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Lorien Taneytown, Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A deficiency was cited when a facility area was found to contain accident hazards and lacked adequate supervision to prevent accidents, resulting in unsafe conditions for residents.
The facility did not provide mandatory infection prevention and control (IPC) training that included its own written standards, policies, and procedures. Instead, staff received only a general overview from a corporate online program, and contracted staff were not required to complete any IPC training. Leadership was unaware that facility-specific IPC training was required.
A resident was left unsupervised by two agency GNAs after previously attempting to get out of a reclined Geri chair unassisted. The resident fell, sustained a head injury, and later died. Review showed no evidence of competency evaluation or training for agency staff, and interviews confirmed a lack of orientation or documentation. The RN who responded failed to properly assess or monitor the resident after the fall, and 911 was not called until 31 minutes later.
The facility did not ensure that all new and existing staff, including contracted personnel, received required facility-specific training in Compliance and Ethics, QAPI, and Infection Control and Prevention. Several staff files lacked documentation of completed trainings, and contracted staff were not provided with necessary orientation or behavioral health and communication training. The trainings that were provided were generic and not tailored to the facility as required.
A contracted staff member began working at the facility without documentation of required communication training. The HR Director reported that there were no online training requirements for contracted staff and relied on the staffing agency to provide necessary training, without reviewing the agency's training program. This deficiency was confirmed through interviews with facility leadership.
The facility did not ensure that contracted staff received required compliance and ethics training. Two contracted employees began work without completing the mandatory, facility-specific training, and the HR Director confirmed there was no process in place to verify or require this training prior to their start date.
Failure to Maintain Safe Environment and Adequate Supervision
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified due to the failure to ensure that a specific area within the facility was free from accident hazards and that adequate supervision was provided to prevent accidents. The report notes that the environment did not meet safety standards, which resulted in the presence of accident hazards and insufficient oversight to protect residents from potential harm. No additional details regarding the specific hazards, the number of residents affected, or their medical conditions at the time of the deficiency are provided in the report.
Failure to Provide Facility-Specific Infection Control Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a mandatory training course that included its own written standards, policies, and procedures for the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) program. Record review showed that the infection control training provided to staff was a general overview and did not address the facility-specific IPC standards, policies, or procedures. The Director of Human Resources confirmed that the training was an online program provided by the corporate office and did not include requirements for contracted staff. During interviews, both the Director of Nursing and the Nursing Home Administrator were unaware that the IPC training was required to be specific to the facility.
Failure to Ensure Competent Staff and Adequate Supervision Resulting in Fatal Resident Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurses and nurse aides had the appropriate competencies to care for residents, as evidenced by an incident involving a resident who suffered a fatal fall. Video surveillance showed that two agency GNAs left a resident unsupervised in a reclined Geri chair at the nurses' station, despite the resident previously attempting to get out of the chair unassisted. After being left alone, the resident attempted to walk unassisted, fell, and sustained a head injury. Review of the agency GNA's personnel file revealed no evidence of competency evaluation or training specific to the facility, and interviews with facility staff confirmed there was no process for training or evaluating agency staff, nor documentation of orientation or shadowing. Following the fall, the response by nursing staff was inadequate. The RN who responded failed to properly assess the resident for injuries before moving them, did not conduct a neurological assessment, and left the resident before rendering first aid. The RN was unaware of the worsening head injury and did not check on the resident again until EMS arrived 36 minutes later. Additionally, 911 was not called until 31 minutes after the fall. The resident was observed to have a large knot on the temple and a nosebleed, and later died at the hospital due to injuries from the fall.
Failure to Provide Required Facility-Specific Staff Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement all required training programs and did not ensure that both facility and contracted staff received necessary trainings. Record reviews revealed that multiple staff members, including those hired as early as 2019 and as recently as 2025, had not received training specific to the facility's Compliance and Ethics program, Quality Assurance Performance and Improvement (QAPI), and Infection Control and Prevention (ICP). Additionally, contracted staff were missing required communication and behavioral health training, as well as training on facility-specific policies and procedures. The review of employee files showed consistent gaps in documentation of completed trainings for both facility-employed and agency staff. Interviews with the Director of Human Resources confirmed that while an online training program was provided from the corporate office for facility staff, there was no structured orientation or onboarding training for contracted staff, aside from occasional shadowing. The Nursing Home Administrator acknowledged that the QAPI and ICP trainings provided were generic and not tailored to the facility, as required. The lack of facility-specific training and incomplete training records were evident for both permanent and contracted staff, as documented in the reviewed files.
Failure to Ensure Communication Training for Contracted Direct Care Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all staff who worked directly with residents received required communication training. Specifically, a review of one contracted staff member's file showed that she began working at the facility through a staffing agency but did not have documentation of communication training as required. The Director of Human Resources stated that there were no online training requirements for contracted staff and that the agency was responsible for providing the necessary trainings. Additionally, the Director of Human Resources did not review the agency's training program when contracted staff began working at the facility. These findings were confirmed during interviews with facility leadership.
Failure to Provide Compliance and Ethics Training to Contracted Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement a process to ensure that all staff, including contracted personnel, received mandatory, facility-specific compliance and ethics training. Record review showed that two contracted staff members began working at the facility but did not receive the required training. The Director of Human Resources confirmed that there were no online training requirements for contracted staff and that she did not review their training records before their first day at the facility. This deficiency was acknowledged by the Nursing Home Administrator during the survey.
