Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Leakesville Rehabilitation And Nursing Center, Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident's privacy was breached when a staff member posted a video on personal social media, showing the resident in the background without consent. The facility's policy prohibits such actions, emphasizing residents' rights to privacy and confidentiality. The resident, who is deaf and nonspeaking, had not given recent consent for social media postings and was unaware of the incident.
The facility experienced significant understaffing in its dietary department, leading to delayed and cold meal service for residents. The Dietary Manager often worked alone or with minimal help due to staff absences, resulting in meals being served late and cold. Residents and staff reported frequent complaints about the food temperature and timing, and the facility had several open positions for dietary staff.
The facility failed to serve meals at appetizing temperatures, affecting two residents who reported receiving cold food. Observations and interviews revealed delays in meal delivery due to understaffing and training issues in the kitchen. A test tray confirmed food temperatures were below required levels, and the Dietary Manager acknowledged the problem.
A resident was left to sleep on blood-stained sheets and in a blood-stained gown after an IV procedure, despite the facility's policy for clean linens. Staff interviews revealed a lack of communication and action to address the issue, which was only resolved the following day by an RN. The resident, who was cognitively intact, had requested clean linens but was ignored.
A facility inaccurately coded the MDS for a resident discharged to home, documenting it as a discharge to another facility. The resident, admitted with Altered Mental Status, was discharged with orders for home health and medication. The error was acknowledged by the MDS nurse and DON.
A deaf resident missed several medical appointments due to the facility's failure to provide a sign language interpreter. Despite being cognitively intact, the resident could not communicate with healthcare providers, leading to missed gastroenterology, dental, and cardiology appointments. Facility staff were unaware of their responsibility to arrange for an interpreter, assuming clinics would provide one or that the resident could use a phone app, which was not utilized.
A resident with cerebral palsy was not properly secured in a facility van, resulting in their wheelchair overturning during transport. The CNA responsible claimed the straps were secure, but upon the incident, it was found that some belts were not connected. The DON's investigation found no equipment faults and suggested the resident might have removed the straps themselves.
Resident Privacy Breach on Social Media
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to uphold a resident's right to privacy and confidentiality when a staff member posted a video on personal social media that included a resident without consent. The facility's policy, revised in February 2023, explicitly prohibits taking photographs or videos of residents without written authorization from the Administrator and forbids posting such content on social media. Despite this, a Business Office Manager (BOM) recorded a video during nursing home week featuring two staff members dancing, with a resident visible in the background. The BOM admitted to posting the video on social media, claiming she did not notice the resident in the background and was focused on the staff members. The resident involved, who was admitted to the facility in May 2022, had signed a release for activity photographs but had not given recent consent for social media postings. The resident, who communicates using a notepad due to being deaf and nonspeaking, confirmed she was unaware of any social media postings and expressed discomfort with the idea. The Administrator acknowledged the incident, stating it was accidental and against facility policy, which emphasizes residents' rights to privacy and confidentiality. The resident was cognitively intact, as indicated by a BIMS score of 15 on a recent assessment.
Staff Shortages Lead to Cold and Late Meals
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide sufficient staff to ensure timely and warm meal service for residents, as observed over three of the four days of the survey. The facility's policy on dietary services staffing, revised in July 2023, mandates sufficient staff to carry out food and nutrition services, considering resident needs and facility assessments. However, observations revealed significant understaffing in the kitchen, with the Dietary Manager (DM) often working alone or with minimal assistance due to staff sickness and resignations. This resulted in delayed meal preparation and service, with meals being served late and cold. Residents and staff interviews corroborated these findings, with consistent complaints about cold food and late meal service. On multiple occasions, the DM was observed performing multiple roles, including cooking and dishwashing, due to the absence of scheduled staff. Additional help from nurses was required to complete meal preparations, yet residents still received cold meals. The facility had several vacancies for cooks and dietary aides, and the Administrator acknowledged the staffing shortage and ongoing recruitment efforts.
Failure to Serve Meals at Appetizing Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide meals at an appetizing temperature for two residents, which was identified through observations, interviews, and record reviews. Resident #32 reported that his meals were served cold daily, and during an observation, it was noted that his lunch tray was delivered late, resulting in cold food. The resident had to wait for a spoon, further delaying his meal, and he requested the food to be rewarmed. The facility's policy requires that food be served at a safe and appetizing temperature, but this was not adhered to, as confirmed by staff interviews and resident complaints. Resident #109 also complained about receiving cold food and frequently requested it to be reheated. Staff interviews revealed that the kitchen was understaffed, contributing to delays in meal delivery. A test tray observation confirmed that the food temperatures were below the required levels, and the Dietary Manager acknowledged the issue, citing staffing challenges and training of new kitchen staff as contributing factors. The Administrator confirmed awareness of the complaints and the expectation for food to be served at appropriate temperatures.
Failure to Maintain Clean Linens for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for Resident #32, as evidenced by the resident having to sleep on blood-stained sheets and in a blood-stained gown following a procedure for an intravenous line. Despite the facility's policy requiring clean and good condition linens, the resident reported that his requests to have the soiled linens changed were ignored by the staff. Interviews with the staff, including a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA), revealed that they either did not notice the blood or failed to report it to the appropriate personnel. The issue was further confirmed by a Registered Nurse (RN) who observed the blood-stained linens the following morning and changed them. The Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator both expressed that they expected the staff to ensure linens were clean and not allow residents to remain in soiled conditions. Resident #32, who was cognitively intact with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 15, had been admitted to the facility with a diagnosis of Hemiplegia Following Cerebral Infarction Affecting the Left Nondominant Side.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Resident Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for a resident who was discharged to home but was incorrectly documented as being discharged to another facility. This error was identified for one of the 17 sampled residents. The resident, who had been admitted with a diagnosis of Altered Mental Status, was discharged with a physician's order for home health and medication. However, the Discharge MDS inaccurately recorded the discharge as unplanned to an Intermediate Care Facility. Both the MDS nurse and the Director of Nursing acknowledged the coding error during interviews, confirming that the resident was indeed discharged to home.
Failure to Provide Interpreter for Deaf Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a sign language interpreter for a deaf resident during clinical appointments, which led to missed medical and dental appointments. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had a diagnosis of being deaf and nonspeaking, was unable to communicate effectively with healthcare providers at these appointments. This lack of communication assistance resulted in the resident missing important medical consultations, including gastroenterology, dental, and cardiology appointments. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness and understanding of the responsibility to provide an interpreter for the resident. The Speech Therapist indicated she could assist if informed in advance, but this was not arranged. The Director of Nursing and other staff members were unaware of the missed appointments and assumed that either the clinics would provide interpreters or that the resident could use a phone app for communication, which was not the case. The facility's failure to ensure the resident had an interpreter led to the resident's needs not being met, as evidenced by the missed appointments and the inability to proceed with necessary medical procedures, such as a tooth extraction. The facility's policy on providing communication aids was not effectively implemented, resulting in a deficiency in meeting the resident's rights and needs.
Failure to Secure Resident in Transport Van
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to secure a resident properly during transport in the facility van, leading to an accident. The incident involved a resident with cerebral palsy who was being transported back from a doctor's appointment. The resident's wheelchair overturned in the van when the driver accelerated, causing the resident to hit his head. Interviews with the resident and staff revealed that the resident believed he was not strapped down properly, while the Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) responsible for securing the resident stated that she had checked the straps and ensured they were secure before departure. However, upon the incident, it was noted that the front right belt and seat belt were not connected. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the incident and conducted an investigation, which included interviews with the CNA and the resident. The investigation found no injuries to the resident, and the maintenance check of the van's straps revealed no equipment faults. The DON and the previous Administrator did not suspect negligence, suggesting the possibility that the resident might have removed the straps himself. The resident had a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score indicating cognitive intactness, which was considered during the investigation.
