Health deficiencies cited at Shearer-richardson Memorial Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with Huntington's disease was involuntarily secluded and unreasonably confined by an LPN and RN, who physically restrained her in a chair and denied her access to the bathroom. Witnesses reported that the staff yelled at the resident, threatening to send her to the hospital. The incident was confirmed by video footage and acknowledged by the facility's DON and Administrator as a violation of the resident's rights.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment due to Huntington's Disease was physically and verbally abused by staff, involving physical restraint and verbal threats. The incident was reported to the facility's Administrator the next day, but the facility failed to report it to the State Agency within the required two-hour timeframe, instead reporting it several days later. The staff initially misjudged the situation as a customer service issue rather than abuse.
A facility failed to complete and transmit a discharge MDS assessment for a resident, as required by policy. The MDS Coordinator confirmed that the assessment was omitted in error, leading to a delay of over 120 days.
A resident with Chronic Pain Syndrome did not have a comprehensive care plan developed to address her pain management needs, despite receiving scheduled medications. Interviews with staff confirmed the oversight, and the facility's policy requires such a plan to inform staff of necessary care.
The facility failed to treat residents with dignity and respect by addressing them by their last names without salutations. A resident's representative reported complaints about this issue and staff taking personal calls during care, which were not resolved. Staff interviews confirmed the practice, and the DON and Administrator acknowledged awareness of the issue. Both residents involved had severe cognitive impairments.
A resident's representative repeatedly complained about aides' behavior, including inappropriate address and personal phone calls during care, but received no formal response or resolution from the facility. The DON dismissed the concerns, and the Administrator admitted to not documenting the grievances. The Grievance Summary Log showed only one unrelated grievance, indicating a failure to adhere to the facility's grievance policy.
Resident Rights Violation Due to Involuntary Seclusion and Restraint
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from involuntary seclusion and unreasonable confinement, resulting in a violation of the resident's rights. The incident involved a resident with Huntington's disease, who was cognitively impaired but still had the right to make decisions about her movements. On the evening of the incident, the resident expressed a need to use the bathroom, but was denied assistance by an LPN, who instead held her in a chair in the lobby area. The LPN, along with an RN, physically restrained the resident, preventing her from leaving the area and accessing the bathroom. Witnesses, including other residents and staff members, reported that the LPN and RN yelled at the resident, telling her she would be sent to the hospital. The resident attempted to free herself from the restraint, but was held in place by the RN, who wrapped her arms around the resident from behind. The situation escalated, with the staff closing the doors to prevent the resident from leaving the lobby, and the resident was eventually sent to the emergency room, where she reported that she simply needed to use the bathroom. The facility's Director of Nursing and Administrator confirmed that the resident's rights were violated, as she was physically restrained and verbally abused. The video footage of the incident corroborated the accounts of the witnesses, showing the resident being held in her chair for several minutes and not allowed to move freely. The incident highlighted a failure to adhere to the facility's policy on abuse, neglect, and exploitation, which prohibits unreasonable confinement and verbal abuse of residents.
Failure to Timely Report Abuse and Seclusion
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of abuse and involuntary seclusion within the required timeframe for one of the three allegations reviewed. The incident involved a resident who was physically restrained in her chair by a staff member, which constitutes abuse. The resident, who had a moderate cognitive impairment due to Huntington's Disease, was also verbally abused according to staff interviews. The incident was reported to the facility's Administrator by a resident the morning after it occurred, but the facility did not report it to the State Agency until several days later, missing the required two-hour reporting window. The Administrator and Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the incident involved physical restraint and verbal abuse, which violated the resident's rights. The facility's policy mandates immediate reporting of such allegations, but the staff initially failed to recognize the situation as abuse, considering it a customer service issue instead. The facility's investigation began the day after the incident, and the involved employees were terminated. However, the delay in reporting to the State Agency was acknowledged as a failure to comply with regulatory requirements.
Failure to Transmit Discharge MDS Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete and transmit a discharge Minimum Data Set (MDS) Assessment for one of the residents reviewed for MDS assessments. The facility's policy requires a comprehensive assessment of each resident's needs using the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) specified by CMS. However, a review of the records revealed that a resident was admitted and later discharged home, but the discharge MDS assessment was not completed and transmitted within the required timeframe. During an interview, the MDS Coordinator confirmed that the resident was discharged on a specific date, but due to an error, the discharge MDS assessment was omitted and not transmitted, resulting in a delay of over 120 days.
Failure to Develop Pain Management Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident diagnosed with Chronic Pain Syndrome, as required by their policy. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including Erosive Osteoarthritis, Arthropathy, and Chronic Pain Syndrome, reported experiencing swelling and pain in her left leg. Despite receiving scheduled Tylenol and a fluid pill as needed for swelling, there was no care plan addressing her chronic pain. Interviews with the resident, RN, RN Supervisor, MDS Coordinator, and DON confirmed the absence of a care plan for managing the resident's pain, which was necessary to inform staff of the required care. The facility's policy mandates the creation of a person-centered care plan with measurable objectives and timeframes to address each resident's needs. However, the MDS Coordinator, responsible for developing care plans, acknowledged the oversight in failing to create a pain management plan for the resident. The resident's Order Summary Report indicated prescriptions for various pain management medications, including Biofreeze Gel, Diclofenac Sodium Gel, and Tylenol, yet these were not incorporated into a formal care plan. The DON confirmed the necessity of a care plan for the resident's pain management, highlighting the facility's failure to comply with its policy.
Failure to Address Residents with Dignity and Respect
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure residents were treated with dignity and respect, as evidenced by staff members addressing residents by their last names only, without using a salutation. This issue was identified for two residents during the survey. Resident #2's representative reported multiple complaints to the Director of Nursing (DON) and Administrator about staff calling the resident by her last name and taking personal phone calls while providing care. The representative stated that these complaints were not resolved, and the DON dismissed the concerns. Interviews with staff confirmed the practice of addressing residents by their last names, acknowledging it could be disrespectful. Resident #39 was observed being addressed by his last name by staff members, despite not expressing a preference for this form of address. The resident, who has severe cognitive impairment, was difficult to interview, but it appeared he preferred to be called by his full name. The DON and Administrator were aware of the issue and acknowledged that staff were trained to use salutations such as Mr. or Mrs. but were unsure why this practice was not followed. Both residents involved had severe cognitive impairments, as indicated by their Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) scores.
Failure to Resolve Resident Grievance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to resolve a grievance made by the representative of a resident who was severely cognitively impaired, as indicated by a BIMS score of 03. The representative had repeatedly complained to the Director of Nurses (DON) and the Administrator about the aides' behavior, including addressing the resident by her last name only and taking personal phone calls in her room during care. Despite these complaints, the representative never received a formal response or resolution from the facility. The DON dismissed the representative's concerns, labeling him as difficult to get along with, and the Administrator admitted to not formally documenting the grievances or including them in the grievance log. Interviews with the DON, Administrator, and Social Services confirmed that the representative's complaints were not formally addressed or documented. The Administrator acknowledged the failure to write up the grievances and provide follow-up to the representative. A review of the Grievance Summary Log for the past six months showed only one documented grievance related to broken glasses, with no record of the other complaints made by the representative. This lack of documentation and follow-up indicates a failure to adhere to the facility's policy of supporting residents' and family members' rights to voice grievances without fear of discrimination or reprisal.
