Health deficiencies cited at Beach Gardens Rehab And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Two residents with psychiatric and behavioral histories were waiting by an elevator in a lobby when one, known to have prior aggressive behavior and a care plan noting risk for physical aggression, removed a wheelchair armrest and struck the other in the forehead, causing a bump and laceration that required ED evaluation. Video, staff, and security accounts confirmed that the aggressor resident was able to access and weaponize the removable armrest in a common area despite prior documented altercations and behavioral concerns, and was only on 30‑minute checks at the time, resulting in a failure to protect another resident from physical abuse.
The facility did not adequately protect resident-identifiable information or maintain medical records according to professional standards, as observed by surveyors.
A resident with mental health diagnoses was involved in an incident where a dietary worker allegedly pushed their wheelchair out of an elevator using their foot, causing the resident to fall. The facility's investigation, supported by a CNA's statement, found credible evidence of abuse, despite the dietary worker's denial. The lack of video footage from the incident floor complicated the investigation, but lobby footage confirmed the worker's footwear. The facility's failure to protect the resident from abuse highlights a deficiency in their care standards.
Failure to Prevent Resident-to-Resident Physical Abuse in Lobby Elevator Area
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to protect a resident from physical abuse by another resident, despite a known history of aggressive behavior. One resident with paraplegia, mood disorder, major depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder had an established care plan noting potential for physical aggression and risk of being abused. Prior documentation showed that this resident had been involved in a physical altercation with another resident in June of the previous year, during which they reported being punched and stated they hit the other resident back. The care plan was updated at that time to reflect that the resident was abused by peers, with interventions including relocation as needed and a psychiatry referral, but later updates reflecting another resident-to-resident altercation did not include new interventions. On the day of the incident, video surveillance and witness statements documented that the aggressive resident and another resident were waiting at the elevator in the lobby, along with other residents. The second resident, who had diagnoses including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, approached and stood next to the first resident’s wheelchair. The first resident was seen making hand gestures, then removed the left wheelchair armrest and used both hands to swing it toward the second resident. When the second resident reached toward the armrest, the first resident struck them on the forehead with the armrest, causing bleeding and resulting in a bump and small laceration. Staff arrived immediately after the assault and separated the residents, and the injured resident was later assessed and transferred to the hospital for evaluation. Interviews conducted after the event revealed differing accounts of the interaction leading up to the assault. The first resident reported that the second resident had previously used a racial epithet toward them and, on the day of the incident, again stood close, touched their shoulder, and repeated the racial epithet, prompting them to remove the armrest and strike the other resident. The second resident stated they were standing at the elevator, heard the first resident saying something, ignored it, and were then struck without warning. A security guard reported hearing the first resident tell the second resident not to stand close and to stop touching them, then observed the first resident swinging the armrest and hitting the second resident. Facility staff, including the RN Supervisor and DON, acknowledged that the incident occurred off the unit, that the aggressive resident had a history of verbal and physical abusive behavior toward staff, and that this was the first documented physical altercation between these two specific residents. Despite prior behavioral incidents and care plan documentation of aggression risk, the resident was on 30‑minute checks and was able to access and weaponize a removable wheelchair armrest in a common area, resulting in physical abuse of another resident.
Failure to Safeguard Resident Information and Maintain Medical Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to safeguard resident-identifiable information and/or did not maintain medical records for each resident in accordance with accepted professional standards. This deficiency was identified through surveyor observation or review, indicating that the required protocols for protecting confidential information and proper record-keeping were not consistently followed. No additional details regarding specific residents, their medical history, or the exact circumstances of the deficiency are provided in the report.
Resident Abuse by Staff Member in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from physical abuse by a staff member, as observed during an abbreviated survey. The incident involved a resident with diagnoses including Major Depressive Disorder and Psychotic Disorder with Borderline Personality Disorder, who had intact cognition. The resident was attempting to enter an elevator when a dietary worker allegedly used their foot to push the resident's wheelchair out of the elevator, causing the resident to slip out of the wheelchair and onto the floor. The resident was assessed by a registered nurse supervisor and found to have no visible injuries. The facility's policy on abuse prevention, reviewed in December 2023, mandates a safe environment free from abuse, including staff-to-resident abuse. Despite this policy, the incident occurred, and the facility's investigation concluded that there was credible evidence of abuse. The dietary worker involved claimed they did not touch the resident's wheelchair and that the resident backed out of the elevator on their own. However, a certified nursing assistant reported seeing a foot push the wheelchair, and the dietary worker was identified as wearing black sneakers, which matched the description given by the nursing assistant. The facility's administrator and corporate nurse conducted an investigation, during which the dietary worker was suspended. The investigation was hampered by the lack of video footage from the 5th floor due to a non-functioning camera, but footage from the lobby confirmed the dietary worker's footwear. Law enforcement was notified, but no arrest was made. The facility's failure to prevent this incident and protect the resident from abuse constitutes a deficiency in their care standards.
