Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Village House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to meet food safety standards, with issues including undated and improperly stored food items, accumulation of ice in the freezer, and expired nutritional shakes. The FSD acknowledged these deficiencies during the survey.
The facility failed to implement comprehensive care plans for two residents with indwelling urinary catheters. One resident, admitted with cutaneous vesicostomy and a supra pubic catheter, and another with urinary retention, both required monitoring of urinary output. However, there was no evidence of monitoring on multiple occasions. Staff interviews revealed an inability to provide evidence of the required monitoring.
A facility failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during wound care for a resident with a suprapubic catheter and moisture-associated skin damage. Staff were observed not wearing gowns, contrary to facility policy and CDC guidelines, which require gowns and gloves during high-contact care activities for residents with MDROs. The Director of Nursing confirmed the expectation for gown use during such procedures.
A resident with Alzheimer's disease and other conditions required substantial assistance for bed mobility, but the facility failed to provide adequate supervision, leading to the resident being found wedged between the bed and the wall. This resulted in a fracture of the left femur, requiring frequent morphine administration for pain management. The care plan did not specify the necessary assistance level, and the nursing assistant repositioned the resident alone, contrary to the facility's guidelines.
A resident experienced significant weight loss, which was not addressed according to the facility's policy. Despite a documented 11.9-pound loss over 15 days, the required re-weigh and notifications to the physician and dietician were not completed. The resident's weight continued to decline, totaling a 22.2-pound loss. Interviews revealed that staff were unaware of the initial weight loss, and no interventions were implemented until further decline occurred.
The facility failed to complete a discharge summary and medication reconciliation for a resident, resulting in the resident's representative not being informed of medication changes upon discharge. Staff interviews confirmed the lack of communication and documentation, contrary to facility policy.
Food Safety and Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards of food service safety in both the main kitchen and one of the nourishment areas. During an inspection, it was observed that a bottle of Hershey's syrup was opened and undated, contrary to the manufacturer's instructions to refrigerate after opening. Additionally, a box of fish cakes was found open and undated in the walk-in freezer, exposing the food to potential contamination. The Food Service Director (FSD) acknowledged these oversights during the surveyor interview. Further observations revealed that the walk-in freezer had a fan unit with frozen drips of ice and a box of grilled chicken breast with an accumulation of ice on top. Boxes of turkey breast roasts and frozen biscuits were improperly stored directly on the floor of the freezer. In the second-floor nourishment area, a microwave was found with a moderate accumulation of dried food matter. Additionally, five bottles of Ensure high protein nutritional shakes were found with expiration dates of June 2024, indicating they were expired and should have been discarded. The FSD acknowledged these deficiencies during the surveyor interviews.
Failure to Implement Comprehensive Care Plans for Residents with Urinary Catheters
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement comprehensive person-centered care plans for residents with indwelling urinary catheters. Resident ID #38, admitted in October 2024 with a diagnosis including cutaneous vesicostomy and a supra pubic catheter, had a care plan requiring monitoring of urinary output due to obstructive uropathy and neurogenic bladder. However, there was no evidence of urinary output monitoring on multiple dates and times between December 2024 and January 2025. During an interview, a Licensed Practical Nurse was unable to provide evidence of monitoring for the specified periods. Similarly, Resident ID #33, admitted in October 2024 with urinary retention, required an indwelling urinary catheter due to obstructive uropathy. The care plan included monitoring urinary output and reporting abnormal findings. However, there was no evidence of monitoring on several dates in January 2025. The Director of Nursing Services was unable to provide evidence that the care plans for both residents were implemented regarding urinary output monitoring during surveyor interviews.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, specifically regarding Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) for a resident with a wound treatment. The deficiency was identified during a surveyor observation where Registered Nurse, Staff B, and Licensed Practical Nurse, Staff A, were seen providing wound care to a resident without wearing a gown, which is required under EBP guidelines. The facility's policy, aligned with CDC recommendations, mandates the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact care activities for residents with MDROs or those in close proximity to such residents, to prevent the transmission of infections. The resident involved was admitted with a diagnosis that included a cutaneous vesicostomy and had a physician order for EBP related to a suprapubic catheter. Additionally, there was an order to apply a foam dressing to the resident's buttocks due to moisture-associated skin damage. During an interview, Staff A and B acknowledged not wearing a gown during the dressing change, mistakenly believing it was only necessary when handling the resident's suprapubic catheter. The Director of Nursing Services confirmed that staff should have worn both gloves and a gown during the wound care procedure for a resident on EBP.
Failure to Ensure Safe Environment and Adequate Supervision
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe environment for a resident, leading to an accident that resulted in a fracture. The resident, who was admitted with Alzheimer's disease, vitamin D deficiency, and heart failure, required substantial to maximal assistance for bed mobility and other activities of daily living. Despite this, the care plan and assistance documentation did not adequately address the level of assistance needed for bed mobility, and the resident was found wedged between the bed and the wall by a nursing assistant who repositioned the resident without additional help. The incident was reported to the Rhode Island Department of Health after an x-ray confirmed a fracture of the resident's left femur. The nursing assistant, Staff B, acknowledged repositioning the resident alone, contrary to the Safe Resident Handling document, which indicated that the resident required the assistance of two caregivers for bed mobility. The facility's care plan failed to specify the necessary level of assistance for bed mobility for the resident and others on the unit, contributing to the accident hazard. Following the incident, the resident experienced significant pain, requiring frequent administration of morphine for pain management. The resident's condition included speaking in word salad, grimacing, and refusing food and supplements, indicating ongoing discomfort. The facility's administrator could not provide evidence that the injury was unrelated to the incident, highlighting a deficiency in maintaining a safe environment and adequate supervision to prevent accidents.
Failure to Address Significant Weight Loss in Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident maintained acceptable parameters of nutritional status, resulting in significant weight loss. The resident, who was admitted in April 2024 with multiple diagnoses including Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes, and dementia, experienced a weight loss of 11.9 pounds over 15 days, which was not addressed according to the facility's policy. The policy required re-weighing within two days and notifying the physician and dietician, but these steps were not taken. The resident's weight was documented as 273.6 pounds on June 18, 2024, indicating a 4.17% weight loss. However, there was no evidence of a re-weigh or notification to the dietician or physician. The dietician was unaware of the weight loss and did not implement any interventions until further weight loss occurred. The resident's weight continued to decline, totaling a 22.2-pound loss by July 2, 2024, representing a 7.78% decrease from the initial weight recorded on June 3, 2024. Interviews with the resident's primary care physician and the dietician revealed expectations for re-weighing and notification, which were not met. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator acknowledged the oversight and the lack of documentation or intervention following the initial weight loss. This deficiency highlights a failure in the facility's protocol to monitor and address significant weight changes in residents, potentially impacting their health and well-being.
Failure to Complete Discharge Summary and Medication Reconciliation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete a discharge summary that included a final summary of the resident's status and a reconciliation of the resident's medications for one of the two discharged residents reviewed. Specifically, for Resident ID #2, the facility did not provide an inter-agency transfer form or review medication changes with the resident or their representative at the time of discharge. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic systolic heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. During the resident's stay, there were changes made to their medications, including adjustments to dosages of Metoprolol, Morphine, and Senna Plus. However, these changes were not communicated to the resident or their representative upon discharge, as required by the facility's policy on medication reconciliation and discharge procedures. Interviews with the resident's representative and facility staff confirmed the lack of communication and documentation. The resident's representative reported not being informed of any medication changes and only receiving a bag of medications without further instructions. Staff A, a registered nurse, acknowledged that she did not review the medications with the resident or their representative and failed to provide the inter-agency transfer form. The Director of Nursing Services also confirmed that the expected procedure was not followed, and there was no evidence that the required documentation was provided to the resident or their representative at discharge.
