Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Belknap County Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not follow the manufacturer's instructions for maintaining the Hydrocollator, which is used for heat therapy in the rehab department. The device was not cleaned as frequently as required, with only one cleaning in July and September, and none in August, despite being used on eight residents. This was confirmed by interviews with the DON and ADON.
The facility failed to provide the correct SNF ABN form CMS-10055 to three residents, resulting in a deficiency. The residents were mistakenly given form CMS-R-131 instead of the required form, despite the facility's policy mandating the provision of the correct notice.
Failure to Maintain Hydrocollator as per Manufacturer Instructions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for the care and cleaning of the Hydrocollator, a device used in the rehab department for heat therapy. The manufacturer's guidelines specify that water should be added daily due to evaporation and that the tank should be drained and cleaned at least every two weeks. However, a review of the Hydrocollator Maintenance - Cleaning Log revealed that the device was cleaned only once in July and September 2024, and not at all in August 2024. Despite this, the heat pads from the Hydrocollator were used on eight residents over nine days in September 2024. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and the Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed these findings, indicating a failure to follow the facility's policy, which mandates bimonthly cleaning of Hydrocollators according to manufacturer specifications.
Failure to Provide Correct Beneficiary Notice Forms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the correct Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice (SNF ABN) form CMS-10055 to three residents, resulting in a deficiency. Resident #39, who remained in the facility after their last covered day of Medicare Part A services on August 7, 2024, did not receive the required SNF ABN form. Similarly, Resident #41, who also stayed in the facility beyond their last covered day of Medicare Part A services on June 19, 2024, was not given the correct form. Resident #57, whose Medicare Part A coverage ended on April 1, 2024, and who was discharged home on April 12, 2024, was also not provided with the SNF ABN form. An interview with the Director of Social Services revealed that the residents were mistakenly given form CMS-R-131 instead of the required form CMS-10055. The facility's policy, revised on June 9, 2023, mandates that Social Services or a designee provide the Advanced Beneficiary Notice information as required, which was not adhered to in these cases. This oversight in providing the correct beneficiary notice forms led to the identified deficiency.
