Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Medilodge Of Okemos during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to provide proper care for PICC lines for two residents, leading to an increased risk of infection due to overdue dressing changes. Additionally, a resident receiving multiple opioids did not have a PRN Narcan order, contrary to facility policy. These deficiencies were confirmed by the facility's nursing staff and administration.
The facility failed to provide restorative services and enabler bars for three residents, leading to potential declines in their functional levels. One resident did not receive the prescribed range of motion program due to unavailability and lack of documentation. Another resident missed several restorative treatments, with no explanation provided. A third resident required enabler bars for bed mobility, but the referral was missed, and the necessary equipment was not provided.
The facility exceeded the acceptable medication error rate of 5%, reaching 6.67% due to two errors. One resident received Ayr nasal gel without a physician's order, and another resident with diabetes was administered insulin without proper priming or site disinfection. These actions were contrary to the facility's procedures, as confirmed by the DON.
The facility failed to ensure proper medication storage, as observed with a nasal spray and pain-relieving gel left in two residents' rooms without permission for self-administration. The DON confirmed that neither resident had an approved self-administration assessment, indicating a lapse in medication management protocols.
A resident experienced embarrassment and difficulty eating due to the lack of timely dental care, as the facility failed to obtain consent for new dentures. Despite a dentist's recommendation for new dentures due to the poor condition of the existing ones, the consent form was not signed because the social worker missed this step.
Deficiencies in PICC Line Care and Narcan Order
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to acceptable standards of clinical practice for the care of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines for two residents, resulting in an increased likelihood of infection. Resident #348, a male with multiple diagnoses including osteomyelitis and diabetes, had a PICC line dressing that was not changed as per the physician's order of every seven days. Observations revealed that the dressing was dated 8/31/24 and was not changed until 9/10/24, exceeding the seven-day requirement. The Registered Nurse Unit Manager confirmed the oversight and acknowledged that the dressing should have been changed on 9/5/24. Additionally, the dressing was not applied correctly, as the insertion site was not visible through the dressing. Similarly, Resident #350, a female with osteomyelitis and other conditions, had a PICC line dressing that was also not changed according to the seven-day schedule. The dressing was dated 8/31/24 and was not changed until 9/10/24, with serosanguinous drainage noted at the insertion site. The facility's Director of Nursing confirmed that the staff should follow the PICC policy, which includes changing dressings every seven days and assessing the site daily for signs of infection. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure an as-needed Narcan order was in place for Resident #348, who was receiving multiple opioid medications for chronic pain. Despite the resident's active orders for opioids, there was no PRN order for Narcan, which is typically ordered as a safeguard against opioid overdose. The Nursing Home Administrator confirmed the absence of a Narcan order, which was against the facility's policy that requires a physician's order for all medications administered to residents.
Failure to Provide Restorative Services and Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide restorative services or enabler bars for three residents, leading to potential declines in their functional levels. Resident #18, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including respiratory failure and spinal cord injury, had a care plan that included a restorative range of motion program. However, the task sheet for the last 30 days did not reflect that the resident received the prescribed restorative care. Interviews revealed that the resident was often unavailable for treatment, and there was no documentation to validate the reasons for not following the program. Resident #75, with diagnoses such as atrial fibrillation and muscle weakness, was also supposed to receive restorative nursing care for range of motion. The task sheets indicated that the resident did not receive the prescribed treatment on several occasions. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) was unable to provide documentation explaining why the treatments were not administered, and the facility did not follow the physical therapy department's recommendations to maintain the resident's highest functional level. Resident #73, who had a left femur fracture and muscle weakness, required a therapy referral for enabler bars to assist with bed mobility. However, no therapy assessment was noted in the resident's electronic medical record, and observations confirmed the absence of enabler bars. The Physical Therapy Assistant acknowledged missing the referral, and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the communication for the assessment was not acted upon, resulting in the resident not receiving the necessary equipment to aid in mobility.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds Acceptable Threshold
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below 5%, resulting in a rate of 6.67% due to two observed medication errors involving two residents. The first error involved a resident with chronic respiratory failure who was administered Ayr nasal gel without a physician's order. The registered nurse applied the gel using a cotton-tipped swab, despite the resident's medical record only containing an order for Ayr Saline Nasal Drops. This discrepancy was confirmed by the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged the absence of an order for the nasal gel. The second error involved a resident with type 2 diabetes mellitus who was prescribed Lantus Solostar insulin. The registered nurse administered the insulin without priming the pen or using an alcohol wipe to disinfect the injection site, contrary to the facility's procedure for insulin administration. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the proper procedure was not followed, which contributed to the medication error rate exceeding the acceptable threshold.
Improper Medication Storage in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper storage and labeling of medications in two resident rooms, leading to a potential safety issue. In the case of one resident, a bottle of Flonase Nasal Spray was found on the bedside table, despite the resident not having permission to store or self-administer medications. The resident confirmed that the nasal spray was not typically stored in her room. A review of the physician's orders showed an active prescription for Fluticasone Propionate Suspension for the resident. In another instance, two boxes of Voltaren Gel were observed in a different resident's room. The resident stated that he did not self-administer the gel and that the boxes were regularly left in his room. The physician's orders confirmed an active prescription for Voltaren External Gel. The Director of Nursing verified that neither resident had an approved medication self-administration assessment, indicating that the medications should not have been present in their rooms.
Failure to Provide Timely Dental Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure timely dental care for a resident, resulting in embarrassment and difficulty eating due to the lack of dentures. The resident had seen a dentist two months prior, who recommended new dentures due to the poor condition of her existing ones, which were over six years old and very loose. The resident's dental notes indicated moderate soft plaque, hard calculus deposits, and gingivitis. Despite the dentist's recommendation, the consent form for new dentures was not signed by the resident's responsible party, as the social worker responsible for obtaining the consent missed this step. Consequently, the resident did not receive the necessary dental care and continued to experience issues related to the absence of dentures.
