Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Edgebrook Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Menus were not consistently prepared in advance, followed, updated, or reviewed by a dietician, resulting in failure to meet the nutritional needs of residents as required.
The facility failed to maintain adequate staffing levels on weekends, as required by their resident census and care levels. During a review period, it was found that the facility did not meet the necessary staffing numbers for several weekend evening shifts, resulting in a deficiency. Despite using a program to notify staff of open shifts and attempting to fill these shifts with contract staff or by mandating extended hours, the facility's efforts were insufficient to meet the required staffing levels.
The facility failed to reconcile controlled substances stored in a refrigerator as part of their emergency kit. An unlocked refrigerator contained controlled substances, and staff, including an RN, TMA, and LPN, confirmed that narcotics were not being counted or locks verified since a pharmacy change. The director of nursing acknowledged the lapse, which was against the facility's policy requiring daily reconciliation and secure storage.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was transferred to the hospital without the facility notifying the family in writing about the bed hold policy and potential costs. Although the family was informed of the hospital transfer, the bed hold policy was not discussed or provided, contrary to the facility's policy requiring notification within 24 hours.
The facility did not follow CDC recommendations for enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) for two residents with indwelling devices or MDRO. Staff inconsistently used gowns and gloves during high-contact care activities, despite care plans and signage indicating the need for such precautions. The director of nursing was unaware of the full scope of EBP requirements.
Deficiency in Menu Planning and Nutritional Oversight
Penalty
Summary
Menus did not consistently meet the nutritional needs of residents as required. The menus were not always prepared in advance, were not consistently followed, and were not regularly updated to reflect residents' current needs. Additionally, menus were not always reviewed by a dietician, and there were instances where the dietary needs of residents were not met as outlined in their care plans. These deficiencies were identified through review of facility records and observations, which showed lapses in menu planning, preparation, and oversight by qualified dietary staff.
Inadequate Staffing Levels on Weekends
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate staffing levels to meet the needs of its residents, as required by their resident census, care levels, and individual plans of care. During the review of the Payroll Based Journal Report for the period from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024, it was identified that the facility submitted weekend staffing data that was excessively low. Specifically, the facility did not meet the required staffing numbers for four out of eight weekend evening shifts. On these occasions, the facility was short of the necessary nursing assistants (NAs) and trained medication aides (TMAs) needed to provide care and services to the residents. Interviews with the administrator and the director of nursing (DON) revealed that the facility included contract staff in their PBJ report but were uncertain why it triggered a deficiency. They reported using a computerized program called On Shift to notify staff of open shifts and attempted to fill these shifts by calling unscheduled staff, using contract staff, or mandating staff to work extended hours. Despite these efforts, the facility's assessment and documentation did not indicate that these approaches were effectively utilized to fill the shifts when staffing numbers could not be attained.
Failure to Reconcile Controlled Substances in Refrigerator
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a system for periodic reconciliation of controlled substances stored in a refrigerator as part of their emergency kit. During an observation and interview, it was noted that the refrigerator in the medication room was unlocked, containing a plastic container with a breakaway tag. Inside the container were controlled substances, including morphine liquid, Tramadol tablets, and lorazepam vials. The registered nurse (RN) indicated that since switching pharmacies a few months ago, they had not been counting the narcotics or verifying the security of the lock for medications kept in the refrigerator. Further interviews with a trained medication aide (TMA) and a licensed practical nurse (LPN) revealed that they did not participate in counting the narcotics in the refrigerator or verifying the lock's integrity. The director of nursing confirmed that the narcotics in the refrigerator had not been reconciled or had their locks verified since the new pharmacy took over. The facility's policy required controlled drugs to be stored in separate, locked compartments and reconciled at least daily, which was not being followed.
Failure to Notify Resident's Family of Bed Hold Policy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident and their representative in writing about the bed hold policy, including any potential costs, at the time of the resident's transfer to the hospital. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, was transferred to the hospital after being found with unstable vital signs and shortness of breath. Although the family was informed of the hospital transfer, there was no documentation indicating that the bed hold policy was discussed or provided to them. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the usual practice was to verbally confirm the bed hold with the family and have them sign the form at their convenience. However, in this case, the director of nursing confirmed that the bed hold notice was not discussed or provided to the family when the resident was discharged to the hospital. The facility's policy required that the bed hold policy be sent with the resident to the hospital and provided to the family within 24 hours of the transfer, which was not followed in this instance.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) as recommended by the CDC for two residents with indwelling devices or multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDRO). One resident, who had a gastrostomy tube, did not have EBP precautions included in their care plan. During observations, a registered nurse and a nursing assistant did not consistently use gowns and gloves for high-contact care activities, such as assisting with toileting and perineal care, despite signage indicating the need for such precautions. The staff believed gowns were only necessary for procedures related to the gastrostomy tube. Another resident, colonized with an MDRO, had a care plan that required EBP for high-contact activities. However, staff only used gowns and gloves when toileting the resident, not for other personal care activities. The director of nursing, also the infection preventionist, was unaware of the need for gowns and gloves beyond specific situations and was not aware of the contact precautions signage in the resident's room. The facility's policy stated that EBP should be used for all high-contact activities, but this was not followed in practice.
