Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Pines Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a history of malignant melanoma of the nose did not receive daily wound cleansing with normal saline as ordered by the wound NP. Review of treatment records and staff interview confirmed the absence of documentation that the prescribed wound care was performed, despite facility policy emphasizing skin and wound management.
A resident with diabetes and severe cognitive impairment received incorrect medication administration when an RN failed to prime an insulin pen and gave only half the prescribed dose of fish oil, resulting in a medication error rate above 5%.
The facility failed to report an allegation of sexual abuse involving three residents to the State Agency within the required two-hour timeframe. The incident, reported by an LPN, involved alleged fornication on the smokers' patio. Despite initiating an investigation and supervising the area, the facility did not adhere to its policy of immediate reporting, resulting in non-compliance.
The facility failed to accurately assess smoking risks for two residents, leading to inadequate supervision. A resident with severe cognitive impairment was incorrectly assessed as an independent smoker, resulting in unsupervised smoking breaks and an incident of potential abuse. Another resident's assessment failed to acknowledge their dementia diagnosis. The facility's policy on smoking assessments was not properly followed.
The facility failed to document an alleged incident of sexual abuse involving three residents in their medical records. An LPN reported the incident, which was based on hearsay, to the DON, and an investigation was initiated. Despite interviews and supervision of the smoking patio, no documentation was made in the residents' records, violating the facility's policy.
Failure to Complete Ordered Wound Care for Skin Cancer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that wound care treatment was completed as ordered for a resident with a right lateral nose skin cancer. The resident, who had a diagnosis of malignant melanoma of the nose along with cognitive communication deficit and weakness, was assessed to have intact cognition. Wound assessments conducted by a nurse practitioner on multiple dates documented a melanoma wound on the right nostril, with specific orders to cleanse the wound daily with normal saline and leave it open to air. A review of the resident's medication and treatment administration records over a period of nearly one month did not show evidence that the prescribed daily wound cleansing was performed. This was confirmed during an interview with the wound nurse, who acknowledged the absence of documentation indicating the treatment was completed as ordered. The facility's policy emphasized the importance of preventing skin impairment and promoting wound healing, but the required wound care was not documented as provided.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds Acceptable Threshold
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below 5%, as evidenced by a 6.67% error rate during observed medication administration. During a medication pass, a registered nurse administered four medications to a resident and made two errors: the nurse did not prime the resident's Humalog KwikPen before administering insulin, and administered only 500 mg of Omega-3 fish oil instead of the ordered 1000 mg. These errors were confirmed by both observation and subsequent interview with the nurse involved. The resident affected had diagnoses including type two diabetes, weakness, and anemia, and was noted to have severe cognitive impairment. Physician orders specified the correct dosages and administration techniques for both the insulin and fish oil. Facility policy required medications to be administered safely and in accordance with residents' needs, but these protocols were not followed during the observed medication pass.
Failure to Timely Report Allegation of Sexual Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to timely report an allegation of sexual abuse involving three residents to the State Agency within the required two-hour timeframe. The incident was initially reported by an LPN to the Director of Nursing, who then informed the Administrator. The allegation involved reports of fornication on the smokers' patio, allegedly involving three residents. Despite the immediate initiation of an investigation and supervision of the smoking patio, the facility did not report the incident to the State Agency as required by their policy. The residents involved had varying degrees of cognitive impairment and medical conditions. One resident was severely cognitively impaired with a history of hemiparesis and schizophrenia, another was moderately cognitively impaired with chronic kidney disease and bipolar disorder, and the third resident was cognitively intact with a history of chronic heart failure and depression. The facility's policy mandates that all alleged violations involving abuse must be reported immediately, but this protocol was not followed, resulting in non-compliance.
Inaccurate Smoking Assessments and Supervision Failures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete accurate smoking risk assessments for two residents, leading to inadequate supervision and potential safety hazards. Resident #7, who was severely cognitively impaired and had multiple diagnoses including hemiparesis, hemiplegia, and schizophrenia, was incorrectly assessed as an independent smoker. The assessment failed to note the resident's dexterity problems and swallowing difficulties. As a result, Resident #7 was left unsupervised during a smoke break, during which an allegation of potential sexual abuse occurred. The Director of Nursing confirmed the inaccuracies in the smoking assessment and acknowledged that the resident's care plan did not reflect the use of nicotine. Similarly, Resident #12, who was moderately cognitively impaired with a diagnosis of dementia, was also incorrectly assessed. The smoking assessment failed to acknowledge the resident's dementia diagnosis. The facility's policy requires that the interdisciplinary team assess residents' ability to smoke safely, either independently or with supervision, but this was not properly executed for these residents. The Administrator confirmed the inaccuracies in Resident #12's smoking assessment.
Failure to Document Alleged Incident in Resident Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain complete medical records for three residents involved in an alleged incident of sexual abuse. The incident was reported by an LPN to the Director of Nursing, who was informed by a resident that another resident had heard about fornication occurring on the smoker's patio involving the three residents. An investigation was initiated immediately, and the smoking patio was subsequently supervised during smoking breaks. However, interviews with the involved residents revealed no concerns, and there were no witnesses to confirm the alleged incident. Despite the investigation, the medical records of the three residents did not contain documentation of the alleged incident, as confirmed by the Administrator. This lack of documentation was in violation of the facility's policy, which requires that facts and findings of incidents be documented in each resident's medical record and that the physician of each resident be notified. The deficiency was identified during a complaint investigation, affecting three of the four residents reviewed for abuse, with the facility census being 77.
