Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Hunter Acres Caring Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and homelike environment, with observations of scratched paint, holes in walls, and brown/black substances on vents and ceiling tiles in resident areas. The Maintenance Director was unaware of these issues, and the facility lacked a policy on environmental maintenance.
A facility failed to promptly notify a physician of a significant change in a resident's condition, delaying necessary medical intervention. The resident, with multiple chronic conditions, was eventually hospitalized with severe complications. In another case, a resident with severe cognitive impairment was found unresponsive, but emergency services were delayed due to staff prioritizing personal care over immediate transport. Both incidents reflect a failure to provide timely medical and emergency care.
A resident with dementia and other health conditions experienced severe weight loss due to inadequate dietary interventions and refusal of meals and medications. Despite the facility's policy, the resident's care plan did not address the weight loss, and the RD's involvement was limited. The resident's delusional beliefs about being poisoned contributed to the refusal of food and medication, yet the facility failed to implement effective interventions.
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below five percent, with errors involving two residents. An LPN did not administer Novolog insulin to a resident due to unavailability, and a CMT failed to provide Crestor to another resident because it was out of stock. Both the Administrator and DON expected medications to be ordered before depletion.
Environmental Deficiencies in Resident Areas
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable homelike environment for its residents, as evidenced by multiple observations of environmental deficiencies. On two separate occasions, the bathroom wall in a resident's room was observed to have a three-foot area of scratched and/or peeled-off paint. In the common area of the 300/400 Hall, a ceiling tile and vent were covered in a brown/black substance, and a wall near the exit door had a four-foot by one-inch hole above the cove base. Additionally, a brown substance was noted on the ceiling vent outside the 300/400 Hall. Another observation revealed a hole at the bottom of the outside bathroom door in a resident's room. During interviews, the Maintenance Director was unaware of any current issues, and the Administrator expressed an expectation for all residents to have a homelike environment. The facility did not provide a policy on maintaining the environment.
Delayed Medical Intervention and Emergency Response
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure timely notification of a physician regarding a significant change in condition for a resident with multiple chronic conditions, including COPD, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. On the evening of June 22, 2024, the resident was found lethargic with low oxygen saturation and an elevated temperature. Despite these critical signs, the physician was not contacted until several hours later, delaying necessary medical intervention. The resident was eventually sent to the hospital and admitted to the ICU with severe conditions, including acute and chronic respiratory failure and septic shock. In another incident, the facility failed to provide timely emergency treatment for a resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including Alzheimer's disease, dementia, heart failure, diabetes mellitus, and asthma. The resident was found unresponsive, and although the DON was notified, there was a delay in calling an ambulance. The LPN instructed CNAs to clean the resident before calling for emergency transport, which took approximately 20 minutes. The resident was later admitted to the ICU with acute metabolic encephalopathy, septic shock, and acute kidney failure. Both incidents highlight the facility's failure to adhere to professional standards of practice by not providing timely medical intervention and emergency treatment. The delay in notifying physicians and calling for emergency services contributed to the residents' deteriorating conditions and subsequent hospital admissions.
Failure to Address Significant Weight Loss in Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to timely and effectively address significant weight loss for a resident, who experienced a 24.2% weight loss in less than 90 days. The resident, diagnosed with dementia, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, was admitted with a weight of 215 lbs. Over the course of several months, the resident's weight dropped to 163 lbs, indicating severe weight loss. Despite the facility's policy requiring immediate action for significant weight changes, the resident's care plan did not address interventions related to the weight loss. The resident's dietary needs were not adequately met, as evidenced by the change from a mechanical soft diet to a regular diet without addressing the resident's complaints of bad teeth and inability to eat. The resident frequently refused meals and medications, expressing delusional beliefs that staff were trying to poison him/her. Despite these behaviors, the facility did not implement effective interventions to ensure the resident received adequate nutrition and hydration. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of consistent monitoring and intervention for the resident's weight loss. The Registered Dietician (RD) only saw the resident once during the period of significant weight loss, and the Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged that the RD was scheduled to visit every two weeks but was only required to see residents monthly. The resident's physician attributed the weight loss to the resident's refusal of medications and meals, yet the facility did not take sufficient action to address these refusals and ensure the resident's nutritional needs were met.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds Acceptable Threshold
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than five percent, with two errors occurring out of 36 opportunities, resulting in an error rate of 5.56%. This deficiency involved two residents. For Resident #12, the facility did not administer the prescribed Novolog insulin before lunch as ordered. The LPN responsible for administering the medication reported that the insulin was not available in the building and needed to be ordered from the pharmacy. This oversight occurred despite the resident's blood sugar level being checked and recorded as 102. For Resident #30, the facility failed to administer the prescribed Crestor medication for hyperlipidemia. The CMT responsible for the medication pass noted that the resident was out of Crestor and that it needed to be ordered from the pharmacy. The medication had still not arrived by the following day. Both the Administrator and the DON expressed that they expected medications to be ordered before running out, indicating a lapse in the facility's medication management process.
