Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Aiken Rehabilitation And Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow menu portions for pureed diets, affecting 104 residents. Observations revealed incorrect portions of chicken, sweet potatoes, and missing pureed bread. The CDM acknowledged the issue, noting the absence of correct scoop sizes, which were recently ordered.
A resident's Oxycodone was misappropriated due to a failure in following the facility's narcotic sign-off policy. The LPN did not conduct a physical count of the medication during shift changes, leading to a discrepancy in the medication count. The resident, with conditions including Alzheimer's and chronic pain, missed a scheduled dose, prompting an investigation that revealed the policy non-compliance.
The facility failed to report a misappropriation of a resident's narcotic medication and a fall incident involving another resident within the required timeframes. The misappropriation was discovered by an LPN, but the report was delayed by five days due to a lack of adherence to narcotic sign-off policies and the administrator's misunderstanding of reporting requirements. Additionally, a resident's fall resulting in a fracture was not reported until 16 days later, as the facility awaited a confirmed diagnosis.
The facility failed to report an abuse allegation between two residents to the state agency within the required timeframe. A verbal altercation escalated to a physical incident, resulting in a bruise on one resident's arm. The incident was reported a day later than required by the facility's policy. The residents involved had significant medical histories, with one being cognitively intact and the other having moderate cognitive impairment.
Failure to Follow Menu Portions for Pureed Diets
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that menus were followed for correct portions and components of pureed diets, potentially affecting all 104 residents who ate meals from the kitchen. The facility's policy required that menus meet the nutritional needs of residents based on the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) and that portions be stated in ounces. However, during the preparation of the lunch meal, it was observed that the pureed diets did not include the required 2 oz. of pureed bread, and the portions of chicken and sweet potatoes were less than specified in the menu. The regular diets also had incorrect portions, with only 3 oz. of vegetables and sweet potatoes served instead of the 4 oz. specified. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) acknowledged the issue when it was brought to their attention and noted that the correct scoops and portions should have been used. The CDM also mentioned that the kitchen did not have the correct scoop sizes when they first arrived in the position, and they had recently ordered the necessary utensils. The deficiency was identified during the tray line meal service, and the first cart with approximately 16 trays had already left the kitchen before the issue was addressed.
Misappropriation of Resident's Oxycodone Due to Policy Non-Compliance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident from the misappropriation of their medication, specifically Oxycodone, a controlled substance. The resident, who was admitted with conditions including Alzheimer's, dementia, palliative care, anxiety, and chronic pain, did not receive a scheduled dose of Oxycodone. A review of the facility's records showed discrepancies in the medication count, with 28 tablets signed for but only 20 tablets present during a reconciliation by a hospice nurse. This discrepancy was not identified until a later date when the resident missed a dose, prompting an investigation. The investigation revealed that the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) responsible for the medication administration did not follow the facility's policy for narcotic sign-off during shift changes. The LPN admitted to not conducting a physical count of the narcotics during the shift exchange and was unaware of the facility's policy regarding narcotic sign-off. The Director of Nursing and Facility Administrator confirmed that the facility's policy requires a narcotic count at each shift change to ensure accuracy, which was not adhered to in this case. Attempts to interview the Registered Nurse involved in the shift exchange were unsuccessful.
Failure to Timely Report Misappropriation and Fall Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of misappropriation of a resident's property within the required timeframe. A resident, who was admitted with conditions including Alzheimer's, dementia, and chronic pain, was found to be missing a narcotic medication card. The incident was discovered by an LPN during medication administration, but the initial report to the state agency was delayed by five days. The LPN admitted to not following the facility's policy for narcotic sign-off, which contributed to the delay in reporting. The facility administrator was unaware of the requirement to report misappropriation as a theft, which further delayed the reporting process. Additionally, the facility did not report a fall incident involving another resident within the required 24-hour period. This resident, who had diagnoses including Parkinson's and osteoarthritis, sustained a fracture after a fall and was hospitalized. However, the reportable incident was not submitted until 16 days later, as the facility waited for a confirmed diagnosis of the fracture. The delay in reporting both incidents indicates a failure to adhere to state and federal regulations regarding timely reporting of abuse, neglect, and accidents.
Failure to Timely Report Resident Abuse Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to timely report an allegation of abuse involving two residents to the state agency. According to the facility's policy, any alleged violations involving abuse must be reported immediately, but not later than two hours after the allegation is made. In this case, a verbal altercation between two residents escalated to a physical incident where one resident reportedly grabbed the other's arm, resulting in redness and later a bruise. The incident occurred on 03/14/2024, but the state survey agency was not notified until 03/15/2024 at 3:59 PM, which is beyond the required reporting timeframe. The residents involved had significant medical histories. One resident had a history of hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a stroke, among other conditions, and was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 out of 15. The other resident had a history of encephalopathy and cerebral infarction, with moderate cognitive impairment indicated by a BIMS score of 12 out of 15. The delay in reporting the incident was identified during a review of the facility's records and interviews, highlighting a failure to adhere to the facility's abuse prevention and reporting policy.
