Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Brewer Center For Health & Rehabilitation, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow physician orders for medications and treatments for multiple residents. One resident did not receive a scheduled IM antibiotic dose as ordered. Another resident with constipation and diarrhea had PRN Loperamide and scheduled Sennosides administered inconsistently with bowel-related orders, and an ordered oral antibiotic was delayed for many days after it was received from the pharmacy, without documented timely provider follow-up. A resident with complaints of SOB did not receive a PRN nebulizer treatment despite an active order. During a med pass, a CNA-M gave a resident 14 pills to swallow at once, contrary to an order requiring meds to be given whole with water, one at a time, in an upright position.
A resident with a history of stroke and left-sided weakness, including a flaccid left arm, had a care plan for functional mobility that required two staff for all transfers. Despite this, a CNA attempted to transfer the resident alone from a wheelchair to a bed, the transfer failed, and the CNA lowered the resident to the floor. The resident was assessed with no visible injuries, and both the CNA and the Administrator later confirmed that the care plan requiring two-person assistance for transfers was not followed.
Failure to Follow Physician Medication and Treatment Orders
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves multiple failures by facility staff to follow physician orders for medications and treatments for several residents. One resident had a physician order dated 4/23/26 for Ceftriaxone Sodium 1 gram IM daily for 5 days for a urinary tract infection. Review of the Treatment Administration Record showed the antibiotic was administered on 4/23, 4/24, 4/26, and 4/27, with no evidence of administration on 4/25. The DON confirmed that the ordered dose on 4/25 was not given. Another resident with ongoing issues of constipation and diarrhea had active orders for Loperamide 2 mg PO PRN after loose stool, with one repeat dose allowed, and Sennosides 8.6 mg, 2 tablets PO twice daily for constipation, to be held for loose stools in the last 24 hours. Review of the bowel elimination history and MAR showed repeated instances where Loperamide was given when there was no bowel movement or when bowel movements were normal, and not given after documented loose/diarrhea stools as ordered. Sennosides was administered within 24 hours of loose stools, contrary to the order to hold it under those circumstances. Additionally, this resident had an antibiotic received from the pharmacy on 3/21/26 with a faxed order on 4/1/26 indicating it should be taken every 8 hours for 7 days following a 3/18/26 office visit; however, the MAR showed the first dose was not given until 4/1/26, 12 days after the antibiotic was received from the pharmacy, and the record lacked evidence of timely follow-up with the urologist regarding the antibiotic and progress note. A further deficiency was identified when a resident with a provider response indicating an existing PRN nebulizer order for shortness of breath had no documented PRN nebulizer treatment administered on the date the nurse requested nebulizer treatments for complaints of shortness of breath, despite the active order. In another case, during a medication pass observation, a CNA-M handed a resident a cup containing 14 pills, which the resident placed in the mouth and swallowed all at once with water. This was inconsistent with a physician order dated 4/9/26 specifying that medications were to be given whole with water, one at a time, with the resident in an upright position. The CNA-M later confirmed that the medications had been given all at once rather than one at a time as ordered.
Failure to Follow Two-Person Transfer Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a resident’s care plan for transfer assistance was not followed, resulting in a failed transfer. The resident had a history of stroke within the past year with left-sided involvement, including a flaccid left arm that the resident was unable to move. The resident’s care plan, initiated for a deficit in functional mobility, specified that two staff members were required for all transfers. On 2/10/26, documentation showed that a CNA attempted to transfer the resident from a wheelchair to the bed without a second staff member, contrary to the care plan. During this one-person transfer, the transfer failed and the CNA lowered the resident to the floor. The charge nurse assessed the resident and documented no visible injuries. In the facility’s investigation and in the CNA’s written statement, the CNA acknowledged not following the care plan requiring two staff for transfers, and the Administrator confirmed in an interview that the care plan was not followed.
