Health deficiencies cited at Claiborne Health And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with dementia and reduced mobility was found to have her legs wrapped with a sheet and covered with a blanket while seated in a geri-chair, restricting her movement. Staff interviews and video surveillance confirmed that a CNA performed this action to manage the resident's restlessness and prevent her from moving or throwing her blanket, without a physician order or proper documentation. The facility's policy prohibits the use of restraints for staff convenience, and the action was not medically justified.
Staff failed to report an allegation of sexual abuse involving a resident with severe cognitive impairment within the required two-hour timeframe. Multiple staff members became aware of the resident's and her family's concerns but did not notify administration or authorities as required by policy, resulting in a delay until the police informed the facility and an investigation was initiated.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was the subject of an alleged sexual abuse concern that was communicated to multiple staff members, including a CNA, RN, social worker, and MDS coordinator. Despite the facility's policy requiring immediate investigation of abuse allegations, staff did not report or investigate the concern until it was brought to the facility's attention by local authorities several days later.
Failure to Prevent Use of Physical Restraint on Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was free from physical restraints, as required by its policy and federal regulations. The policy defined a physical restraint as any device or material that restricts a resident's freedom of movement and cannot be easily removed by the resident. The incident involved a resident with reduced mobility, dementia, and anxiety, who was dependent on staff for personal hygiene and required substantial assistance with bed mobility and transfers. There was no documentation or physician order for the use of restraints for this resident. On the day of the incident, video surveillance showed a CNA wrapping a sheet around the resident's lower legs while she was seated in a geri-chair, then covering her legs with a blanket and tucking it under her legs. The CNA and other staff members later described this action as a way to prevent the resident from moving her legs, kicking off her blanket, or potentially falling. Multiple witness statements and interviews confirmed that the CNA had wrapped or tied the resident's legs to the chair, and that this was done to manage the resident's restlessness and prevent her from throwing her blanket on the floor. The CNA stated that this practice was common among staff, especially when they were short-staffed, and did not consider it a restraint because the resident could still move her legs to some extent. Despite the CNA's and some staff's belief that the resident was not fully restrained, the video and witness accounts indicated that the resident's ability to move her legs independently was restricted. The facility's own Human Resources Manager and Administrator acknowledged that the sheet was wrapped and tucked in a manner that limited the resident's movement, and the Quality and Regulation Manager stated that such wrapping would be considered a restraint if it prevented independent movement of the legs. There was no evidence that the use of the sheet as a restraint was medically necessary or properly documented, and the action was taken for staff convenience rather than to address a medical symptom.
Failure to Timely Report Alleged Sexual Abuse
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to report an allegation of sexual abuse involving a resident with severe cognitive impairment within the required two-hour timeframe. The facility's policy mandates immediate reporting of all alleged violations, including abuse, to the Administrator, state agency, and other authorities within two hours if the allegation involves abuse or results in serious bodily injury. Despite this, multiple staff members, including a Family Nurse Practitioner, Certified Nurse Assistant, Registered Nurse, Social Worker, and RN MDS Coordinator, became aware of the resident's and her family's concerns about possible sexual abuse but did not report the allegation to administration or authorities as required. The resident in question was admitted with diagnoses including dementia, heart failure, and a mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, and was assessed as having severe cognitive impairment. The concern was initially raised by the resident's daughter, who reported that her mother believed someone had touched her inappropriately. Staff interviews revealed that the daughter's concerns were communicated to several staff members, who either did not act on the information or assumed others would report it. The Social Worker and other staff did not notify administration, citing the family's belief that the incident may have been imagined and their stated desire not to file a complaint. The failure to report persisted until the local police department notified the facility that an allegation had been filed with Adult Protective Services by the resident's daughter, at which point the facility initiated an investigation. The Administrator confirmed that staff had prior knowledge of the allegation before being notified by the police, indicating a clear delay in reporting as required by facility policy and federal regulations.
Failure to Timely Investigate Alleged Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to investigate an allegation of abuse in a timely manner for a resident with severe cognitive impairment, as required by its own policy. The policy mandates that an immediate investigation is warranted when there is suspicion or report of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and outlines specific procedures for such investigations. Despite this, the facility did not initiate an investigation until nine days after staff first became aware of the allegation. The resident involved had diagnoses including dementia, heart failure, and a mixed receptive-expressive language disorder, and was assessed as having severe cognitive impairment. Multiple staff members, including a CNA, RN, social worker, and MDS coordinator, became aware of the resident's or her family's concerns that someone may have sexually abused her. These concerns were communicated to various staff members, but none of them reported the allegation to the facility's Abuse Coordinator or administration as required. The social worker and other staff did not act on the information, partly because the family expressed doubt about the allegation and did not wish to file a complaint. The delay in reporting was only identified after the local police department notified the facility that an allegation had been made and reported to Adult Protective Services. At that point, the facility initiated an investigation, but it was confirmed by the administrator that staff had prior knowledge of the allegation and failed to report or investigate it promptly, resulting in a failure to follow the facility's abuse investigation policy.
