Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Aurora Health And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with paraplegia and impaired sensation sustained a second-degree burn on the elbow after an LPN, despite knowing facility policy, set up a portable heater in the resident's room at the resident's request. The injury was discovered by another nurse and CNA, and subsequent infection required antibiotic treatment. Facility policy prohibits space heaters due to fire and burn risks.
A resident was incorrectly coded as using a trunk restraint in the MDS Quarterly assessment. Observations and interviews confirmed that the resident has never used a restraint, and there was no physician order for one. The MDS Nurse acknowledged the error, and the Administrator confirmed that incorrect coding could affect the resident's level of care.
A facility failed to prevent infection by improperly handling suction tubing during respiratory care for a resident. The tubing was placed in a trash can, picked up, and reused, contrary to infection control policies and physician's orders. Interviews confirmed the tubing should have been replaced to prevent contamination.
Resident Burned After Unauthorized Use of Space Heater
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a portable space heater was used in a resident's room, resulting in a burn injury. The resident, who had a history of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, paraplegia, and autonomic dysreflexia, requested the use of a heater brought by his family due to his tendency to feel cold and sweat excessively. Despite being aware that heaters were not permitted in the facility due to fire and burn risks, an LPN set up the heater approximately three feet from the resident at his request. The resident, who was cognitively intact but had impaired sensation due to his spinal injury, was later found with redness and blisters on his right elbow by another nurse and CNA during their rounds. The resident was unaware of the injury due to his lack of sensation in the affected area. Medical documentation confirmed a diagnosis of a second-degree burn on the resident's right elbow, which subsequently became infected with Enterococcus Faecalis and MRSA, requiring multiple courses of antibiotics. Facility policy review indicated that space heaters were prohibited due to safety concerns, and staff interviews confirmed that the heater was used against established protocols. The incident was identified as a failure to maintain a safe, hazard-free environment, as required by facility policy and regulatory standards.
Incorrect MDS Coding for Restraint
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly code a resident for a restraint on the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for one of the 21 residents' MDS assessments reviewed during the survey. Specifically, Resident #56 was incorrectly marked as using a trunk restraint less than daily in the MDS Quarterly assessment. However, observations and interviews with the resident, a registered nurse, and a certified nursing assistant confirmed that Resident #56 has never used a restraint. Additionally, a review of the resident's physician orders revealed no order for a restraint. The MDS Nurse acknowledged that the trunk restraint was marked by mistake and confirmed that Resident #56 has never had a restraint. The MDS Nurse also emphasized that the purpose of the MDS is to gather accurate information about the resident to guide their care and determine payment for services. The Administrator confirmed that incorrect MDS coding could result in the resident receiving the wrong level of care. Resident #56 was admitted to the facility on the date specified in the report.
Improper Handling of Suction Tubing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent the possibility of an infection as evidenced by improper handling of suction connecting tubing during respiratory care for a resident. During an observation, the Respiratory Therapist (RT) performed suctioning and trachea care on the resident. After suctioning, the RT placed the suction connecting tubing in the trash, allowing it to come into contact with the side of a trash can that was full of trash. The RT then picked up the tubing, suctioned sterile water through it, and wrapped it for future use, despite acknowledging that the tubing should have been changed due to contamination. Interviews with the RT, Infection Preventionist, and Director of Nurses (DON) confirmed that the suction tubing should have been replaced after touching the trash can to prevent potential infection. The facility's policy on infection control and the resident's physician's order for proper storage and handling of respiratory equipment were not followed. The resident involved had a medical history that included Cerebral Infarction and Tracheostomy Status.
