Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Shepherd Of The Valley-boardman during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a sacral wound and multiple comorbidities did not receive daily wound dressing changes as ordered by the physician. Observation revealed the dressing was not changed for two days, despite documentation indicating treatments were completed. An LPN confirmed the dressing should have been changed daily, highlighting a lapse in following prescribed wound care procedures.
The facility did not consistently obtain and document daily weights for residents receiving dialysis, as required by physician orders and facility policy. Several residents with end-stage renal disease and other serious conditions experienced multiple missed weight recordings over several weeks. Staff and resident interviews confirmed that daily weights were not always taken, often due to staffing issues.
An LPN failed to perform hand hygiene during medication administration for two residents, one with respiratory issues and another with incorrect isolation status. The facility's policies on hand hygiene and transmission-based precautions were not followed, leading to deficiencies in infection control practices.
Failure to Provide Wound Care per Physician Orders
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with multiple complex medical conditions, including a sacral wound, was not provided wound care in accordance with physician orders. The resident's care plan and physician orders specified that the dressing to the sacral wound should be changed daily and as needed, with specific wound care procedures to be followed. However, during an observation, it was noted that the dressing on the resident's buttocks was dated two days prior, indicating that the dressing had not been changed daily as ordered. The Treatment Administration Record for the month showed all treatments as completed, but direct observation and staff interview confirmed that the dressing had not been changed according to the prescribed schedule. The resident was highly dependent on staff for all activities of daily living and had severely impaired cognition, requiring substantial assistance for mobility and hygiene. The failure to change the dressing daily as ordered was confirmed by both observation and interview with the LPN who performed the wound care. This lapse in following physician orders for wound care constituted a deficiency in the facility's pressure ulcer care practices for this resident.
Failure to Obtain and Document Daily Weights for Dialysis Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to obtain and document daily weights as ordered by physicians for residents receiving dialysis treatment. Specifically, three residents with end-stage renal disease and dependence on dialysis were identified as not having their weights recorded on multiple days, despite physician orders and care plans requiring daily weight monitoring. Medical record reviews showed several missed weight entries for each resident over a period of weeks, and interviews with staff and residents confirmed that weights were not consistently obtained as required. Residents affected had significant medical histories, including end-stage renal disease, pleural effusion, congestive heart failure, and other comorbidities, and required close monitoring due to their dialysis needs. The facility's own policy mandated daily weights for these residents, yet documentation revealed repeated lapses. Staff interviews indicated that weights were sometimes missed due to workload and staffing assignments, and residents themselves reported not being weighed daily before or after dialysis sessions.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate hand hygiene during medication administration for two residents, which was observed during a survey. Resident #21, who had a history of acute and chronic respiratory failure, COPD, and an active COVID-19 infection upon initial admission, was administered medication by an LPN who did not perform hand hygiene between administering medications to different residents. The LPN was observed exiting another resident's room and proceeding to administer medication to Resident #21 without washing hands, despite the facility's policy requiring hand hygiene before and after medication administration. Additionally, the facility failed to correctly identify the transmission-based precautions status for Resident #44, who had a history of congestive heart failure, diabetes, and cellulitis, among other conditions. The resident was incorrectly placed under droplet isolation, as indicated by a sign on the door, despite having no active orders for such precautions. The LPN administered medications to Resident #44 without performing hand hygiene between glove changes and without wearing a mask, which was required for droplet precautions. The LPN confirmed the incorrect isolation status during an interview, acknowledging the error in precautionary measures. The facility's policies on medication administration and hand hygiene were not adhered to, as staff were required to perform hand hygiene between resident contacts and before and after handling medications. The failure to follow these protocols was identified during a complaint investigation, highlighting deficiencies in infection prevention and control practices within the facility.
