Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Franklin County Rehab Center, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that the facility failed to revise care plans after falls for two residents with multiple conditions including weakness, peripheral neuropathy, unsteadiness, Parkinsonism, heart disease, CHF, and mood disorders. In both cases, nursing notes documented falls related to weakness and self-transfer, and existing care plans already identified fall risk. However, the care plans had not been updated with new fall-prevention interventions following the incidents, despite an IDT meeting note stating that one care plan had been updated as needed. The DON confirmed that care plans are expected to be revised after each fall and that this did not occur for these residents.
A resident on comfort care with multiple chronic conditions received incorrect morphine doses when staff failed to verify that the concentration on the morphine bottle matched the physician’s order. The order specified Morphine 20 mg/5 ml with a 1 ml (4 mg) PRN dose, but the bottle was labeled Morphine 20 mg/1 ml. Nursing staff administered multiple 1 ml doses (20 mg each) and later 2.5 ml doses (50 mg each) from this higher-concentration bottle, contrary to the ordered doses. The DON, ADON, and Administrator confirmed that this occurred despite a facility policy requiring adherence to the 5 Rights of medication administration, including verifying that the medication concentration on the container matches the provider’s order.
Failure to Revise Care Plans After Resident Falls
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to review and revise care plans after resident falls, as required. One resident with diagnoses including anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, peripheral neuropathy, atherosclerotic heart disease, weakness, and the presence of an artificial hip experienced an unwitnessed fall in the bathroom on 3/25/2026. Nursing progress notes documented the fall, and the resident’s care plan already identified a risk for falls related to weakness and peripheral neuropathy. However, the care plan, last updated on 3/18/2026, did not include any new interventions or revisions in response to the 3/25/2026 fall. A second resident, with diagnoses including muscle weakness, unsteadiness on feet, other drug-induced secondary Parkinsonism, hypertensive heart disease with heart failure, CHF, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and difficulty walking, experienced a fall on 3/21/2026 while attempting to self-transfer. Nursing progress notes documented this fall, and the resident’s care plan identified a risk for falls related to weakness. The IDT met on 3/25/2026 and documented that the care plan had been updated as needed regarding this most recent fall. However, the care plan had last been revised on 3/8/2026 and did not reflect any new fall-prevention measures related to the 3/21/2026 incident. The DON confirmed in both cases that care plans are supposed to be revised and updated after each fall and acknowledged that this was not done for these two residents.
Failure to Verify Morphine Concentration Before Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a resident was free from significant medication errors when staff did not verify that the morphine concentration on the bottle matched the physician’s written order. The resident, who had dementia, hypertensive heart disease, anxiety, depression, lymphedema, and unspecified seizures, was placed on comfort care. The physician ordered Morphine 20 mg/5 ml, with a dose of 1 ml (4 mg) by mouth every 2 hours as needed for pain or shortness of breath. The DON reported that this order was sent to the pharmacy and the medication was received, with the prescribed concentration (20 mg/5 ml) printed on a label attached to the bag in which the medication arrived. However, the morphine bottle itself was labeled with a different concentration of Morphine 20 mg/1 ml. Per review of the individual narcotic record and MAR, staff administered 1 ml doses from the bottle labeled Morphine 20 mg/1 ml (20 mg per dose) on multiple occasions, instead of the ordered 4 mg dose, on several dates. On one date, after a new order was written to increase the morphine to 20 mg/5 ml, 2.5 ml (10 mg) every 6 hours for pain or shortness of breath, staff administered two doses of 2.5 ml from the same bottle labeled Morphine 20 mg/1 ml, resulting in 50 mg per dose. During interviews, the DON, ADON, and Administrator confirmed that the morphine concentration on the bottle label was 20 mg/1 ml and acknowledged that their medication administration policy requires following the 5 Rights, including confirming that the medication concentration and dosage on the container match the provider’s order before administration.
