Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to provide a dignified dining experience for three residents during meal times. CNAs were observed feeding residents while standing and making noises, which did not align with the facility's policy of treating residents with dignity and respect. The DON confirmed these actions were inappropriate.
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care plans for three residents, leading to potential unmet care needs. One resident lacked care plans for a urinary tract infection and constipation, another for falls, pressure ulcers, and pain management, and a third for pain and specialized tube feeding. The facility's policy requires comprehensive care plans, which were not followed.
Two residents were transported in wheelchairs without footrests, contrary to standard care practices, posing a potential injury risk. A CNA and an RN were observed pushing residents without using footrests, despite their availability. The DON acknowledged this as unacceptable and against standard practice.
The facility did not ensure that the required members of the QAPI committee, including the DON, met at least quarterly as per policy. The DON was absent from two meetings, one due to vacation and the other for an unspecified reason, leading to potential decreased quality of care for all 87 residents.
Failure to Provide Dignified Dining Experience
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to treat three residents with dignity and respect during meal times, as observed by surveyors. On October 29, 2024, during lunch at the Glacier Hill Cottage, two CNAs were seen assisting residents with their meals in a manner that lacked dignity. CNA B assisted a resident by standing next to them and placing food in their mouth, and then CNA A took over, continuing to stand while quickly feeding the resident. Similarly, CNA B assisted another resident by standing and placing a spoon in their mouth. This approach did not provide a dignified dining experience for the residents. On October 30, 2024, during lunch at the Grass Creek Cottage, CNA C assisted another resident by placing the meal in front of them, sitting down, and wearing gloves throughout the meal. CNA C made clicking noises or hummed while assisting the resident, which was not considered respectful or dignified. The Director of Nursing confirmed that these observations did not align with the facility's policy of treating residents with kindness, dignity, and respect.
Failure to Implement Comprehensive Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive care plans for three residents, resulting in potential unmet individualized care needs. Resident #24 was always incontinent of bowel and bladder and dependent on staff for toileting hygiene. Despite being diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and experiencing constipation, there were no care plans addressing these issues. Resident #83, admitted with multiple pain-related diagnoses and a history of falls, did not have care plans for falls, pressure ulcers, or pain management, despite these areas being triggered for care planning. The RN acknowledged the incomplete care plan, attributing it to the resident's impending transfer to another unit. Resident #86, admitted with metabolic encephalopathy, gastrostomy, and a pressure ulcer, lacked care plans for pain management and specialized tube feeding. The care plan for pressure ulcers was incomplete, with no goals or interventions listed. The Director of Nursing confirmed the expectation for nursing interventions to be included in the care plan. The facility's policy mandates comprehensive, person-centered care plans with measurable objectives and timeframes, which were not adhered to in these cases.
Failure to Use Wheelchair Footrests During Resident Transport
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to transport two residents safely and according to standards of care, resulting in a potential for injury. On October 29, 2024, a registered nurse (RN) was observed pushing a resident in a wheelchair without footrests from the dining area to the resident's room. The resident had plastic boot-like shoes on both feet, which were barely off the floor during transport. A certified nurse assistant (CNA) intervened and attached the footrests to the wheelchair. The RN acknowledged the oversight, stating that foot pedals should have been used. On October 30, 2024, a CNA was seen pushing another resident in a wheelchair without footrests, despite the footrests being readily available on the back of the wheelchair. The CNA admitted to being new to the area and recognized the mistake of not using the foot pedals. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that transporting residents without footrests is unacceptable and against the standard of practice.
QAPI Committee Meeting Attendance Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the required members of the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) committee met at least quarterly, as mandated by their policy. The review of the QAPI committee meeting attendance logs revealed that the Director of Nursing (DON) was absent from the meetings held on July 10th and September 11th, 2024. During an interview, the DON explained that their absence in September was due to being on vacation, and they were unsure about the reason for their absence in July. The facility's policy requires the QAPI committee to include the DON, among other members, and to meet quarterly to address quality deficiencies. This failure resulted in the potential for decreased quality of care for all 87 residents in the facility.
