Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Carl T Curtis Health Education Center Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain operational ventilation systems in 21 resident bathrooms, as observed with the Maintenance Director. The systems were unable to draw a 1-ply square of toilet paper, indicating non-functionality. The Maintenance Director confirmed the lack of checks and documentation on the ventilation systems' operational status.
A resident did not receive the prescribed medication Lactulose for six days due to unavailability. Despite the Medication Aide ordering the medication and notifying the charge nurse, the medical provider was not informed. The medication was eventually administered after it arrived from the pharmacy, but the delay resulted in a significant lapse in care.
A resident in a LTC facility did not receive their prescribed Lactulose for six days due to unavailability. Despite the Medication Aide ordering the medication and notifying the charge nurse, there were no documented attempts to contact the pharmacy or medical provider. The RN was unaware of the issue until several days later, leading to a significant medication error.
Staff failed to follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions for a resident with a supra-pubic indwelling catheter, as they did not wear gowns during high-contact care activities. Despite the presence of PPE and signage, two nursing assistants entered the resident's room without donning gowns, although they performed hand hygiene and wore gloves. Interviews confirmed that gowns should have been worn, highlighting a lapse in infection prevention protocols.
Non-Functional Ventilation Systems in Resident Bathrooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that ventilation systems were operational in resident bathrooms across 21 occupied rooms. During an observation conducted with the facility Maintenance Director, it was noted that the ventilation system in these bathrooms was not functional, as evidenced by its inability to draw a 1-ply square of toilet paper to the surface of the ventilation cover. This issue was confirmed through an interview with the Maintenance Director, who acknowledged that the ventilation systems had not been checked for their draw capacity and that there was no documentation available regarding the last time the system had been assessed for operational status.
Failure to Notify Medical Provider of Missed Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the medical provider when a prescribed medication, Lactulose, was not administered for six days to a resident. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had multiple diagnoses including cirrhosis of the liver, was supposed to receive Lactulose to reduce blood ammonia levels. The medication was not available from October 24 to October 29, and the Medication Aide (MA-E) had ordered it on October 24. Despite notifying the charge nurse on October 28 and 29, the medication remained unavailable, and the medical provider was not informed of the missed doses. The Registered Nurse (RN-D) was unaware of any attempts to contact the pharmacy or notify the medical provider about the unavailability of Lactulose. The medication finally arrived on the night of October 29 and was administered the following morning. A review of the resident's progress notes did not show any documentation of attempts to notify the pharmacy or medical provider. The Nurse Consultant confirmed that the medical provider had not been informed about the missed doses, resulting in the resident missing six days of the prescribed medication.
Significant Medication Error Due to Unavailable Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medication was available for a resident, resulting in a significant medication error. Resident 7, who was cognitively intact and had multiple diagnoses including cirrhosis, did not receive their prescribed Lactulose for six days. The medication was intended to reduce blood ammonia levels due to cirrhosis of the liver. The Medication Administration Record (MAR) indicated that the Lactulose was last administered on the morning of 10/24/24, and it was documented as unavailable from that date through 10/29/24. The Medication Aide (MA-E) ordered the Lactulose on 10/24/24 and notified the charge nurse on 10/28/24 and 10/29/24 about its unavailability. However, there were no documented attempts to contact the pharmacy or the medical provider regarding the missing medication. The Registered Nurse (RN-D) was unaware of any efforts to resolve the issue until 10/29/24, when they planned to call the pharmacy. The lack of documentation and communication led to the medication not being administered for six days, which was confirmed as a significant medication error by a Nurse Consultant.
Failure to Follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions for Resident with Indwelling Catheter
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) Policy during the care of a resident with a supra-pubic indwelling catheter. The policy mandates the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact resident care activities to prevent the transfer of Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs). Despite the presence of an EBP Precautions sign and available personal protective equipment (PPE) outside the resident's room, staff members did not don gowns while performing catheter care and other high-contact activities. Observations revealed that two nursing assistants entered the resident's room without wearing gowns, although they did perform hand hygiene and wore gloves. The resident, who was severely cognitively impaired and dependent on staff for various activities, had an indwelling suprapubic catheter, which increased the risk of MDRO transmission. Interviews with the nursing assistants and a nurse consultant confirmed that gowns should have been worn during these care activities, indicating a lapse in following the facility's infection prevention protocols.
