Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Lynchburg Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to provide a resident and their representative with a written transfer notice during an urgent hospital transfer, as required by federal regulations. The facility's policy did not address the need for written notice in such cases, and the resident's EMR lacked documentation of the notice. Interviews confirmed the absence of a written notice.
The facility failed to invite two residents or their representatives to participate in quarterly care plan meetings, as required by policy. Despite having a process to notify families, the Social Services Director did not document invitations for these residents. One resident was cognitively intact, while the other had moderate cognitive intactness. The facility's policy did not specifically address quarterly care conferences, leading to this oversight.
Failure to Provide Written Transfer Notice
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide timely written notification to a resident and their representative regarding a transfer to a hospital, as required by federal regulations. The facility's policy on transfers and discharges, dated 05/12/23, did not include provisions for issuing a written transfer notice in cases of urgent medical need. This oversight was identified during a review of the facility's policy and the electronic medical record (EMR) of a resident who was hospitalized following a fall and a subsequent change in condition. The resident, identified as R18, was admitted to the facility and later experienced a fall, which was documented in a progress note dated 07/17/23. Following a change in the resident's condition on 07/19/23, they were transported to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment. However, the EMR lacked evidence of a written transfer notice being provided to the resident or their representative, detailing the transfer location and appeal rights. Interviews with the resident's family member and the facility administrator confirmed that no written notice was given during the urgent transfer.
Failure to Invite Residents to Care Plan Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents, R1 and R18, or their representatives were invited to participate in their quarterly care plan meetings. This deficiency was identified through a review of facility policy, medical records, and interviews. The facility's policy on comprehensive care plans, dated 08/22/23, mandates that residents and their representatives be given advance notice of care planning conferences to facilitate their participation. However, for R1, there was no documentation in the electronic medical record (EMR) indicating that the resident or her representative was invited to participate in quarterly care conferences after an initial update on 02/21/24. R1, who was cognitively intact with a BIMS score of 15 out of 15, confirmed during an interview that she was not invited to her quarterly care conferences. Similarly, for R18, the EMR showed that the resident's representative participated in a care conference on 02/08/24, but there was no evidence of invitations to subsequent quarterly care conferences. R18 had a BIMS score of eight out of 15, indicating moderate cognitive intactness. The Social Services Director (SSD) stated that her process involved calling and sending follow-up letters to families about upcoming care conferences, but she admitted to not documenting these invitations for R1 and R18. The facility's administrator acknowledged that the care conference policy did not address quarterly care conferences, contributing to the oversight.
