Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Elm Crest Manor during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident eloped from the facility, and the incident was not reported to the State Agency until more than two months later. Facility staff could not determine how or when the resident left, and administrative staff confirmed the delay in reporting the event.
A resident who was confused and had a code alert applied for safety eloped from the facility and was found by a community member in a nearby gym. The facility was unable to determine when the resident left, had inconsistent documentation, and did not thoroughly investigate the incident to identify causes or implement interventions.
The facility failed to ensure the dietary manager obtained the necessary qualifications to serve as the director of food and nutrition services. The dietary supervisor is enrolled in the Certified Dietary Manager course but has not completed the training. An administrative staff member confirmed the lack of required training for the position.
A facility failed to report a potential abuse/neglect incident to the SSA after a resident fell from a mechanical lift during a transfer, resulting in minor injuries. The facility's policy requires such incidents to be reported to the administrator and the State Department of Health within 24 hours, but this was not done, as confirmed by an administrative nurse.
A resident on a Dysphagia-pureed diet was given inappropriate snacks, including a granola bar and beef jerky, leading to a choking incident. The resident, who has dementia, required emergency intervention and was transferred to the hospital. The staff failed to check the resident's dietary requirements, resulting in the provision of non-compliant food textures.
Failure to Timely Report Resident Elopement to State Agency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that an alleged violation involving neglect was reported to the State Agency in a timely manner. Specifically, a resident eloped from the facility, and the incident was not reported to the State Agency until over two months later. The facility was unable to determine how or when the resident left the building. Interviews with the resident's family and administrative staff confirmed the delay in reporting the elopement and the lack of clarity regarding the circumstances of the resident's departure and return.
Failure to Investigate Resident Elopement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to thoroughly investigate an elopement incident involving a resident who was found by a community member in a nearby town gym and returned to the facility. The facility was unable to determine the exact time the resident left the building, with conflicting dates noted between the facility report and the medical record. Nursing documentation indicated the resident was confused and a code alert was applied for safety, but there was over an hour gap in staff charting during the time of the incident. The facility did not identify the causative factors of the elopement, limiting their ability to implement appropriate interventions.
Dietary Manager Lacks Required Qualifications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the dietary manager obtained the necessary qualifications to serve as the director of food and nutrition services. During an interview, the dietary supervisor stated that she is currently enrolled in the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) course but has not yet completed the training. An administrative staff member confirmed that the dietary supervisor lacked the required training for the position. This deficiency indicates that the dietary manager did not complete the education for a certified dietary manager, certified food service manager, or national certification for food service management and safety from a national certifying body.
Failure to Report Potential Abuse/Neglect Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an incident of potential abuse or neglect to the State Survey Agency (SSA) involving a resident who experienced a fall from a mechanical lift. According to the facility's abuse policy, any incident of potential abuse or neglect must be reported to the administrator within 24 hours and subsequently to the State Department of Health. On September 20th, a resident fell from a full-body mechanical lift during a transfer when they stretched their arms and stiffened, causing them to slide out of the sling. The fall resulted in a small open area on the left upper thigh and redness above the right eye. However, the facility did not report this incident to the SSA as required, which was confirmed by an administrative nurse during an interview.
Failure to Follow Prescribed Diet Leads to Choking Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide food textures according to a resident's prescribed diet, leading to a choking incident. The resident, who had a diagnosis of dementia, was on a Dysphagia-pureed diet, also known as NDD1 Level 1, which requires food to be in a pureed, pudding-like consistency. Despite this, the resident was given snacks that did not meet these dietary requirements, specifically a granola bar and a piece of beef jerky, which resulted in the resident choking and being unable to breathe. The incident required emergency intervention, including the Heimlich maneuver, and the resident was subsequently transferred to the hospital emergency room for treatment. The deficiency was identified through a review of the facility's reported incident investigation and the resident's medical records. The investigation revealed that the staff member responsible for providing the snack did not check the resident's dietary requirements at the time, leading to the inappropriate food being given. The resident's progress notes and physician notes confirmed the choking episode and the inappropriate snacks provided, highlighting the failure to adhere to the prescribed pureed diet.
