Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Lincoln Knolls Health & Rehab Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with multiple chronic conditions and intact cognition was found living in a room that was not maintained in a clean, sanitary, or homelike condition, despite facility policies and expectations for daily thorough cleaning. Surveyors observed stained walls, a pile resembling drywall dust behind the bed, trash and items such as a plastic pitcher, pill cup, and used plastic wrap on the floor, and dried food-like debris on the bed frame and oxygen concentrator. An LPN confirmed these conditions, and the resident reported not knowing when the room was last cleaned and expressed dissatisfaction with living in that environment. The Administrator stated housekeeping was expected to clean resident rooms daily, and this issue represented continued noncompliance from a prior survey.
A resident with multiple comorbidities and full dependence on staff for mobility experienced a fall during a transfer with a Hoyer lift when the device tilted and fell, resulting in the resident landing on the floor in the sling. Two CNAs were assisting at the time, and it was later determined that the lift's legs were only partially open, contrary to facility policy requiring stability and locking before use. The resident reported pain and was subsequently sent to the ER and admitted.
The facility failed to maintain a safe sidewalk for residents using wheelchairs, with large cracks and divots causing wheelchairs to get stuck. Residents and staff confirmed the difficulty in navigating the area, although no injuries were reported. Previous repair attempts were ineffective.
Failure to Maintain Clean and Homelike Resident Room Environment
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for a resident. The resident had multiple medical conditions including COPD, type II diabetes, morbid obesity, major depressive disorder, cirrhosis, anxiety disorder, ADHD, chronic pain syndrome, muscle wasting, venous insufficiency, an acquired absence of the left foot, and alcohol abuse. The resident’s MDS showed intact cognition with a BIMS score of 15, required set-up and clean-up assistance for eating and oral hygiene, moderate assistance with bed mobility, and often refused showers and shower transfers, preferring to remain in bed. Despite the facility’s policies requiring routine cleaning and disinfection of visibly soiled surfaces and high-touch areas, and maintaining a sanitary, orderly, and comfortable environment, the resident’s room was not maintained accordingly. During observation of the resident’s room, surveyors noted multiple dark-colored stains on the wall under the television, yellow streaks on the wall next to the bed, and a large pile resembling drywall dust on the floor behind the head of the bed. Additional items found on the floor included a clear plastic pitcher under the bed, an empty pill cup near the head of the bed, and a balled-up, used piece of clear plastic wrap under the bed. There were also multiple spots resembling dried food debris on the bed frame and oxygen concentrator. An LPN confirmed these findings during interview. The resident reported not knowing when the room was last cleaned and stated he should not have to live in that condition. The Administrator stated that housekeeping was expected to thoroughly clean each resident’s room daily. This deficiency was cited as continued noncompliance from a prior annual survey.
Failure to Ensure Safe Mechanical Lift Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe transfer for a resident requiring a mechanical lift (Hoyer) for mobility. The resident, who had multiple diagnoses including type 2 diabetes, CHF, COPD, anxiety disorder, failure to thrive, morbid obesity, and CKD, was cognitively intact but fully dependent on staff for mobility and activities of daily living. The resident was at moderate risk for falls, completely incontinent, chair-bound, and unable to stand independently. During a transfer to bed using the Hoyer lift, two CNAs were assisting when the lift tilted sideways and fell, causing the resident to fall to the ground while still in the sling. The nurse arrived to find the resident sitting upright on the floor in the sling, and upon assessment, the resident reported pain in the buttocks. Further review revealed that one CNA could not recall whether the legs of the Hoyer lift were open or closed at the time of the incident, and the Administrator later stated the legs were only partially open. Facility policy required staff to ensure the lift was stable and locked before use. The resident was subsequently assessed, medicated for pain, and sent to the emergency room for evaluation after x-rays, where she was admitted to the hospital. The incident was documented and investigated by facility leadership.
Unsafe Sidewalk Conditions for Wheelchair Users
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe and accessible sidewalk for residents, particularly those using wheelchairs, which posed a potential risk to all residents. During an interview and observation, several residents reported that their wheelchairs frequently got stuck in large cracks and divots on the sidewalk leading to the smoking area. These cracks measured six inches wide and two to three inches deep, while the divots in the grass adjacent to the sidewalk were four to twelve inches deep, with visible wheelchair marks indicating where residents had become stuck. The Director of Nursing and the Maintenance Supervisor confirmed the presence of these hazards, acknowledging the difficulty they posed for residents and staff. The Maintenance Supervisor noted that previous attempts to fill the divots with hay and quick concrete were ineffective, as the repairs did not last. Despite the challenges, no injuries had been reported at the time of the survey. A State Tested Nursing Assistant also confirmed the difficulty in safely maneuvering wheelchairs over the cracked sidewalk, further emphasizing the safety concerns.
