Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Shinnery Oaks Community during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to incorporate PASRR evaluation recommendations into a resident's assessment and care planning by not submitting a complete and accurate NFSS request for a customized manual wheelchair within the required timeframe. Despite the resident's documented needs and an IDT meeting confirming the need for specialized equipment, staff confusion and incomplete paperwork led to the deficiency.
A resident with Lewy body dementia and aggressive behaviors was moved to a secured unit without proper documentation of physician orders and communication with family. The facility staff failed to record verbal orders in the EHR, despite policies requiring immediate documentation. This oversight could risk residents not receiving necessary care.
Failure to Incorporate PASRR Recommendations and Submit Timely NFSS Request
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to incorporate recommendations from a PASRR evaluation report into the assessment, care planning, and transition of care for a resident identified as PASRR positive. Specifically, after an IDT meeting where the need for a new customized manual wheelchair (CMWC) was discussed and confirmed, the facility did not submit a complete and accurate request for Nursing Facility Specialized Services (NFSS) in the LTC online portal within the required 20-day timeframe. The process for obtaining the CMWC was not completed as outlined, and the necessary forms and documentation were not submitted as required by policy. Record review showed that the resident had multiple diagnoses, including muscle weakness, muscle wasting, lack of coordination, osteoarthritis, genetic-related intellectual disabilities, and obesity. The resident's care plan indicated participation in quarterly care plan meetings with PASRR representatives and coordination of PASRR services. Despite these documented needs and the identification of the CMWC as an ongoing requirement, the facility did not follow through with the necessary steps to secure the recommended equipment. Interviews with facility staff revealed confusion and lack of familiarity with the PASRR and NFSS processes. The MDS nurse, DOR, and other staff members indicated difficulties in completing the required paperwork and uncertainty about who was qualified to sign the necessary forms. The DME company evaluated the resident and determined that a new CMWC was not immediately needed, but repairs were required. Despite internal communications and attempts to clarify the process, the facility ultimately did not submit the NFSS form within the mandated timeframe, resulting in a failure to coordinate and provide the recommended PASRR services.
Failure to Document Physician Orders and Communication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately document medical records for a resident, identified as Resident #47, who was at risk of elopement and exhibited aggressive behaviors. The resident, a female with multiple diagnoses including Lewy body dementia and major depressive disorder, was admitted to the facility and later identified as an elopement risk. On a specific date, the resident attempted to elope, and the facility staff failed to document communication with the physician regarding this incident. Additionally, verbal orders from the physician to move the resident to a secured unit were not recorded in the Electronic Health Record (EHR). Interviews with facility staff revealed that the resident exhibited aggressive behaviors, such as hitting staff and attempting to leave the facility, which prompted the decision to move her to a secured unit. However, the necessary documentation, including the physician's verbal orders and the communication with the family, was not completed in a timely manner. The staff, including the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) and the Social Worker (SW), acknowledged the oversight in documentation, attributing it to the hectic situation at the time. The facility's policies require that all verbal orders be documented immediately in the resident's medical record, including the date, time, and signature of the person receiving the order. Despite these policies, the documentation was not completed, which could potentially lead to residents not receiving necessary care or treatment. The facility's administration and nursing staff were aware of the documentation requirements but failed to adhere to them in this instance.
