Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Care Center Of Aberdeen during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and dementia was administered Haldol and Sertraline without documented consent from their representative, despite facility policy requiring informed consent for psychotropic medications. The DON confirmed that no consent forms were found, and the representative was unaware of the medications until after requesting a list.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was moved to a different room without the required written notification or explanation being provided to their representative, as confirmed by both the Social Service Director and Administrator. This action was not in accordance with facility policy, which mandates written notice prior to any room or roommate change.
A facility failed to maintain a clean and odor-free environment, affecting three residents. Observations revealed strong odors and dirty wheelchairs, with one resident's room having a pungent smell and liquid on the bathroom floor. Two residents were found in unclean wheelchairs, with a family member expressing concern over the lack of cleanliness. The DON admitted that the facility lacked an effective plan to ensure regular cleaning, and staff were expected to clean wheelchairs as needed.
Failure to Obtain Consent for Psychotropic Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was free from the use of chemical restraints by administering psychotropic medications without obtaining the required consent. Specifically, a resident with severe cognitive impairment and a diagnosis of unspecified dementia with behavioral disturbances was given Haldol, an antipsychotic medication, and Sertraline, an antidepressant, without documented consent from the resident's representative. The facility's policy required consent for the use of antipsychotic and psychoactive medications, but the Director of Nursing confirmed that no such consent was found for either medication. The resident's representative discovered the use of Haldol only after requesting a list of medications and reported being unaware of its administration, never having signed a consent form. Medication records showed that Haldol was administered over several weeks and Sertraline was ongoing, with no evidence of informed consent being obtained. The Minimum Data Set confirmed the resident was receiving both antipsychotic and antidepressant medications during this period.
Failure to Provide Written Notice for Resident Room Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to honor a resident's right to receive written notification, including the reason for a room change, prior to moving the resident to a different room. According to the facility's policy, the Social Service Designee or Social Worker, in conjunction with the DON, is responsible for ensuring that residents or their representatives receive written notice before any room or roommate change occurs. In this case, the Social Service Director acknowledged that while she had previously discussed a room change with the resident's representative, she moved the resident again at a later date without providing the required written notification or explanation to the representative. The resident involved had a diagnosis of dementia and a BIMS score of 6, indicating severe cognitive impairment, which further underscores the importance of notifying the resident's representative. Both the Social Service Director and the Administrator confirmed during interviews that the facility did not provide the necessary written notice or reason for the room change, as required by policy and resident rights.
Facility Fails to Maintain Clean and Odor-Free Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and odor-free environment for its residents, as evidenced by observations of dirty wheelchairs and strong, offensive odors affecting three residents. During an inspection, a strong, pungent odor was detected in a resident's room, with a puddle of liquid on the bathroom floor that appeared to be urine. The resident, who had mild cognitive deficits, did not notice the odor, but the facility's administrator confirmed the issue and acknowledged the need for a clean environment. Additionally, two residents were observed in dirty wheelchairs, with one resident's family member expressing concern over the lack of cleanliness since the resident's admission. The wheelchairs were found to have accumulated grime, dust, and other substances, indicating a lack of regular cleaning. The Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that the responsibility for cleaning wheelchairs was assigned to CNAs on the night shift, but there was no effective system in place to ensure compliance, and staff were expected to clean wheelchairs as needed. Interviews with staff and a complainant highlighted ongoing issues with cleanliness and odor in the facility. The complainant reported persistent urine odors and dirty wheelchairs, despite having raised these concerns with staff. The DON admitted that the facility lacked an effective plan to ensure wheelchairs were cleaned regularly, and the administrator confirmed the need for immediate corrective action.
