Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Rennes Health And Rehab Center-appleton during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with multiple health conditions, including hemiplegia and anxiety disorder, was found to have their call light wedged between the mattress and side rail, making it inaccessible. This led to difficulties in requesting assistance, resulting in incontinent episodes. Staff confirmed that the call light should be within reach, highlighting a failure to adhere to the care plan.
A resident with senile degeneration of the brain and vascular dementia did not have a call light within reach or the correct type of call light as specified in the care plan. Observations showed the call light was either clipped to a blanket on the resident's shoulder or laying on the bed, making it inaccessible. The DON confirmed the care plan was not followed.
A resident receiving Hospice services did not have a comprehensive care plan developed, despite the facility's policy requiring it. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the care plan should have been completed and updated with the Significant Change MDS assessment.
The facility failed to update a resident's care plan to include a new restorative ambulation program. Despite the resident's intact cognition and independence with ambulation, the care plan was not revised to reflect the therapy order for ambulation with a two-wheeled walker. The ambulation program was listed on the CNA care card but not in the care plan, as confirmed by the Nursing Home Administrator.
Resident's Call Light Inaccessibility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's call light was within reach, which is a requirement to accommodate the needs and preferences of each resident. On January 8, 2025, a surveyor observed that the call light for a resident, who had a history of falling, diabetes, hemiplegia, hemiparesis following a cerebrovascular accident, morbid obesity, and anxiety disorder, was wedged between the mattress and side rail, making it inaccessible. The resident, who was not cognitively impaired, confirmed that the call light was often placed out of reach, leading to difficulties in requesting assistance. During interviews, the resident expressed that the lack of access to the call light resulted in incontinent episodes and the need to shout for help to use the restroom. A Certified Nursing Assistant confirmed the call light should be within reach and adjusted it upon noticing the issue. The Director of Nursing and a Registered Nurse also acknowledged that call lights should be accessible to residents, indicating a lapse in adherence to the care plan intervention that required the call light to be kept within reach.
Resident Call Light Not Within Reach
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that a resident (R44) had a call light within reach or a means to call staff for assistance. During two observations, the surveyor noted that R44's call light was not within reach and did not meet the resident's needs according to the care plan. R44 was admitted with diagnoses including senile degeneration of the brain, vascular dementia, and was receiving palliative care. The care plan specified the use of a soft-touch call light and that it should be kept within reach. However, the call light observed was a push button type and was either clipped to a blanket on the resident's shoulder or laying on the bed, both positions making it inaccessible for R44. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the care plan was not being followed.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plan for Hospice Services
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident (R44) who was receiving Hospice services. R44 was admitted to the facility and later to Hospice services, with diagnoses including senile degeneration of the brain, vascular dementia, and encounter for palliative care. Despite the Significant Change Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment indicating that R44 received Hospice services, no care plan was created to address these needs. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that a care plan should have been completed the day R44 signed on to Hospice services and updated with the Significant Change MDS assessment. This deficiency was confirmed through staff interviews and record reviews, including an interview with R44's spouse who verified the Hospice services.
Failure to Update Care Plan with Ambulation Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not review and revise the care plan for one resident who received a new order for a restorative ambulation program. Despite the order, the ambulation program was not incorporated into the resident's care plan. The resident, who had intact cognition and was independent with ambulation according to the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment, had a care plan indicating the need for assistance with ambulation. The resident's medical record showed a therapy order for ambulation with a two-wheeled walker, but this was not reflected in the care plan. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)-C confirmed that the resident often chose to walk in their room rather than the hallway and sometimes opted for a wheelchair. The ambulation program was listed on the CNA care card but was not updated in the resident's care plan. The Nursing Home Administrator (NHA)-A verified that the ambulation program was not added to the care plan, despite being listed on the CNA care card.
