Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Complete Care At Barn Hill during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain kitchen equipment in a clean and sanitary manner, as observed by a surveyor. A microwave had food debris, and grill plates in an oven were dirty with grease. The FSD and RFSD acknowledged the need for cleaning to prevent contamination, as per facility policy.
A facility failed to accurately code the MDS for a resident, resulting in a deficiency. The MDS incorrectly indicated that a resident was discharged to the hospital, while progress notes showed the resident was discharged home with family. The MDS Coordinator confirmed the error, and the issue was reported to the DON and Administrator.
A medication error occurred when an LPN administered metformin to a resident without a physician's order, mistaking them for another resident. The resident, diagnosed with diabetes mellitus II with hyperglycemia, was monitored for blood sugar levels following the incident, with no negative outcomes reported. The facility's policy on medication administration was not followed, leading to this deficiency.
The facility did not notify CMS of a name change to include a DBA, as required by 42 CFR 424.516. The facility's documents showed the name as Complete Care at Barn Hill, but CMS records listed it as Barn Hill Care and Rehab Center. The LNHA admitted that the necessary 855B form had not been filed to update the DBA name.
The facility failed to develop and implement an NPO care plan for a resident with a PEG tube, despite the resident's severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses. Staff interviews confirmed that an NPO care plan should have been initiated upon admission, but it was not present in the resident's care plan.
Failure to Maintain Sanitary Kitchen Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain kitchen equipment in a clean and sanitary manner, as observed by a surveyor on two separate occasions. On the first occasion, the surveyor, accompanied by the Food Service Director (FSD) and the Regional FSD (RFSD), noted that the interior of a microwave unit had multi-colored splattered food debris stuck to its upper wall. Additionally, the surveyor found three cast iron grill plates inside an oven that were visibly used and dirty with solidified grease. The FSD confirmed that these grill plates had been used the previous night and should have been cleaned afterward. During interviews, both the FSD and RFSD acknowledged that the cooking equipment should have been cleaned and maintained in a sanitary manner to prevent foodborne illness and contamination, as per facility policy and regulations. A review of the facility's General Kitchen Cleaning Policy and Food Borne Illness Policy revealed that all equipment used in food handling must be cleaned and sanitized to prevent contamination. The policies emphasize the importance of maintaining sanitation through a comprehensive cleaning schedule and following food safety practices throughout the food handling process.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Resident Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately code the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for a resident, leading to a deficiency. The surveyor found that the MDS for a resident, who was discharged from the facility, incorrectly indicated that the resident was discharged to the hospital. However, a review of the resident's progress notes revealed that the resident was actually discharged home with family. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview with the MDS Coordinator, who acknowledged that the MDS should have indicated discharge to home or lesser care and that the error was made in coding the discharge destination. The issue was brought to the attention of the Director of Nursing and the Administrator during the surveyor's visit.
Medication Error: Unordered Metformin Administered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate pharmaceutical services by administering a medication not ordered by the physician to a resident. Specifically, metformin, a medication used to lower blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes, was given to a resident without a valid physician order. This incident involved a resident with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus II with hyperglycemia, who was not present in the facility at the time of the survey. The resident's electronic health records indicated orders for other diabetes medications, but not for metformin. The error occurred when an agency LPN mistakenly administered metformin to the wrong resident, confusing them with another resident. The incident was documented as a medication error, and the resident's blood sugar levels were monitored following the administration, showing no negative outcomes. Interviews with facility staff, including the unit manager and the DON, confirmed the error and the subsequent monitoring of the resident. The facility's policy on medication administration emphasizes the importance of following the rights of medication administration, which were not adhered to in this case.
Failure to Notify CMS of Name Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify CMS and apply for a change in name to include Doing Business As (DBA) in accordance with 42 CFR 424.516. This deficiency was identified through interviews and a review of facility documentation. The facility's admission agreement, census report, and business cards all reflected the name as Complete Care at Barn Hill. However, the CMS Novitas documentation listed the Legal Business Name as COMPLETE CARE AT BARN HILL LLC with a DBA name of Barn Hill Care and Rehab Center. The Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (LNHA) confirmed that the facility had not filed the necessary 855B form to change the DBA name to Complete Care at Barn Hill. Further review revealed that the facility's license, issued by the New Jersey Department of Health, was under the name Barn Hill Care and Rehab Center, not Complete Care at Barn Hill. This discrepancy between the facility's operational name and the name registered with CMS and the state licensing authority led to the deficiency. The LNHA acknowledged the oversight and indicated that the appropriate form had not been submitted to rectify the name change with CMS.
Failure to Implement NPO Care Plan for Resident with PEG Tube
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a Nothing by Mouth (NPO) care plan for a resident with a PEG tube, despite the resident's severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses, including dysphagia and pneumonia. The resident's electronic medical record and care plan did not include an NPO care plan, even though the resident was admitted with a feeding tube and had documented NPO status in progress notes. Interviews with staff, including a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), confirmed that an NPO care plan should have been initiated upon admission but was not present in the resident's care plan. The facility's policy on comprehensive, person-centered care plans, which was revised in October 2022, mandates the development and implementation of a care plan that includes measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's needs. Despite this policy, the resident's care plan lacked the necessary NPO care plan, which was acknowledged by both the LPN and ADON during interviews. The Certified Nursing Aide (CNA) assigned to the resident was aware of the NPO status through shift reports and visual indicators, but this information was not formally documented in the care plan.
