Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Grove during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents experienced falls when staff did not follow individualized care plan interventions. One resident with moderately impaired cognition and an order for a total mechanical lift with two-person assist was transferred using a sit-to-stand lift after a CNA relied on the resident’s verbal report instead of the documented transfer status, leading to a fall during the transfer. Another resident with dementia and severely impaired cognition, care planned for bed and chair alarms due to a history of falls, was found on the floor with the bed alarm not sounding, despite orders to check alarm operation and placement each shift. The DON stated that care plans are communicated via care profiles, and the QA nurse identified failure to follow these care plans as the cause of both incidents.
Two residents with cognitive impairment and documented fall risk experienced falls when staff did not follow established transfer and alarm orders. One resident, ordered for a total mechanical lift with two-person assist, was instead transferred by a CNA using a sit-to-stand lift after the resident stated she could stand, leading to a fall when the resident released the handles and slid to the floor. Another resident, ordered to have a bed/chair alarm checked each shift and with a care profile specifying a bed alarm, was found on the floor after an unwitnessed fall with head injury when the bed alarm was not engaged and did not sound.
During a survey, hazardous cleaning chemicals were found unsecured in a shower room, contrary to facility policy. The DON and Administrator confirmed the chemicals should have been locked away, as exposure could be harmful. No incidents involving chemicals were reported in the past year.
The facility failed to maintain proper sanitation procedures as the low-temperature dishwasher did not reach the required temperature. Despite attempts to rectify the issue, the dishwasher's temperature remained below the recommended level. The facility's policy required the use of a three-compartment sink if the dishwasher was not functional, which was not initially followed. Eventually, the kitchen staff began using the three-compartment sink for dishwashing.
Failure to Implement Individualized Care Plan Interventions Resulting in Falls
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to implement individualized care plan interventions for two residents, resulting in falls. For one resident with COPD and moderately impaired cognition (BIMS score of 12), the physician’s order and care plan required a total mechanical lift with two-person assist for transfers, and the care profile specified “TOTAL LIFT X2 CNAs FOR TRANSFERS” and discontinuation of the sit-to-stand lift. Despite these directives, a CNA performed a chair-to-bed transfer using a sit-to-stand lift after asking the resident how she transferred and relying on the resident’s statement, “I can stand,” rather than checking the care profile and transfer status prior to the shift. During the transfer, the resident let go of the lift handles and slid to the floor, as documented in the nurse’s note and fall report, and the facility’s staffing disciplinary record noted the CNA did not follow the proper transfer status. For the second resident, who had dementia and severely impaired cognition (BIMS score of 5), the care plan identified a history of falls and required the use of bed and chair alarms due to fall risk, with a physician’s order to check the bed/chair alarm every shift for proper operation and placement. The care profile also included special instructions for use of a bed alarm. An unwitnessed fall occurred when this resident was found on the floor of her room and the bed alarm was not sounding to alert staff. Subsequent observation showed the resident seated at the nurses’ station with a chair alarm in place and unable to recall the fall. The DON confirmed that care plans are communicated to staff through Resident Care Profiles, and the QA nurse identified the root causes of the falls as failure to follow the care plan requirements for transfer assistance and failure to ensure the bed alarm was engaged to alert staff through the call light system.
Failure to Follow Transfer and Alarm Orders Resulting in Falls for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe environment and implement fall-prevention interventions for two residents with known fall risk. For one resident with moderately impaired cognition (BIMS score 12) and a physician’s order and care profile specifying a total mechanical lift with two-person assist for transfers, a CNA conducted a chair-to-bed transfer using a sit-to-stand lift instead of the ordered full mechanical lift with two staff. The CNA reported that she asked the resident how she transferred, and the resident stated she could stand. During the transfer, the resident let go of the lift handles and slid to the floor. Documentation showed the resident had a physician’s order for “TOTAL LIFT X2” and care profile instructions for “TOTAL LIFT X2 CNAs FOR TRANSFERS,” which were not followed. For a second resident with severely impaired cognition (BIMS score 5) and dementia, the facility did not ensure that a required bed alarm was engaged. The resident had a physician’s order for a bed/chair alarm to be checked every shift for proper operation and placement, and the care profile specified a bed alarm to bed. The resident was found on the floor of her room after an unwitnessed fall with head injury, and the bed alarm was not sounding at the time, despite the resident having been lying in bed prior to the fall. Facility staff later reported that the fall occurred when the resident got out of bed without assistance and the bed alarm was not engaged, which prevented the alarm from alerting staff through the call light system and allowing for intervention.
Failure to Secure Hazardous Chemicals in Shower Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policy on the safe storage of hazardous materials, as observed during the annual survey. In one of the four shower rooms inspected, hazardous cleaning chemicals, specifically two spray containers of Clorox cleaner and one spray container of Medco Rinse Agent, were found sitting unsecured on a shelf. This was noted during two separate observations on the same day, indicating a lapse in the facility's protocol to keep such materials locked and secured from public access. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator confirmed the oversight. The DON acknowledged that the chemicals should have been locked inside a cart, as they are considered biohazardous. The Administrator also confirmed that chemicals should not be left unattended and unsecured, recognizing the potential harm if accessed by residents. The safety data sheets for both chemicals indicated that exposure could cause irritation or require immediate medical attention, underscoring the importance of proper storage.
Dishwasher Temperature Deficiency in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper sanitation procedures during dishwashing, as the low-temperature dishwasher did not reach the required minimum temperature. During two observations, the dishwasher's thermometer showed a temperature of only 60 degrees Fahrenheit, significantly below the suggested 120 degrees. Despite multiple attempts to run the machine, the temperature did not increase. A manual check by a dietary worker showed a temperature of 110.6 degrees Fahrenheit, still below the required level. The facility's policy stated that if the dishwasher could not be used, dishes should be washed in a three-compartment sink, a procedure that was not initially followed. The Dietary Supervisor continued to use the dishwasher, manually checking the temperature and pre-rinsing dishes, but did not adhere to the policy of using the three-compartment sink. The Maintenance Supervisor reported that the dishwasher servicing company was working on obtaining a necessary part to fix the temperature issue. Eventually, the kitchen staff began washing dishes in the three-compartment sink, as per the facility's policy. The deficiency was identified during dietary tours, highlighting the failure to maintain proper sanitation standards in dishwashing procedures.
