Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Rainelle Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident's right to confidential communication was violated when staff opened her package before delivery. The resident, with a BIMS score indicating cognitive impairment, expressed dissatisfaction with this action. The Activity Director opened the package due to concerns about the resident's special diet and potential receipt of hard candy.
A resident at risk of falls had a care plan intervention to ensure properly fitting clothing, specifically pants with functional elastic. Despite this, the resident experienced a fall while wearing pajama pants without elastic, which were around her ankles and possibly caused the fall. The DON confirmed the care plan was not implemented in this area.
A facility failed to perform neurological checks according to professional standards after a resident's unwitnessed fall. The resident, who had a previous fall with a head laceration, experienced another unwitnessed fall, but the facility did not initiate new neurological evaluations. Instead, they continued with daily checks related to the earlier incident. The DON confirmed the oversight, as the resident was already under monitoring from the previous fall.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a history of falls experienced two falls due to improperly fitting clothing and inadequate supervision. The first fall was potentially caused by pajama pants without a waistband, leading to a stress fracture. Before further imaging could be done, the resident fell again, resulting in a right femoral neck fracture requiring surgery. Despite numerous interventions in the care plan, the environment was not adequately supervised to prevent these incidents.
A facility failed to maintain accurate medical records for a resident regarding fall risk evaluations. The resident, admitted after a hip fracture from a fall, had two assessments indicating fall risk factors, yet documentation inconsistently marked the resident as not at risk. The DON acknowledged the error, but no further information was provided.
Violation of Resident's Right to Confidential Communication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a resident's right to communicate confidentially by opening a package addressed to her before delivering it. During an interview, the resident expressed dissatisfaction with the staff opening her mail without her presence. The resident, who has a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of nine, indicating some cognitive impairment, received a package through mail delivery services. The Activity Director admitted to opening the package, citing concerns about the resident's special diet and the possibility of receiving hard candy, which the resident is not allowed to have.
Failure to Implement Care Plan for Fall Prevention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement the comprehensive care plan for a resident in the area of falls. The care plan for the resident, who was at risk of injury from falls, included an intervention to ensure that clothing fit properly, specifically noting that if the elastic in pants was worn out, staff should notify a nurse and use a different pair. Despite this intervention being initiated, the resident experienced a fall. A nursing note indicated that at the time of the fall, the resident was wearing pajama pants without elastic in the waistband, which were around her ankles and possibly caused the fall. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the care plan was not implemented regarding the resident's properly fitting pants to prevent falls.
Failure to Perform Neurological Checks After Unwitnessed Fall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that neurological checks were performed according to professional standards of practice after an unwitnessed fall involving a resident. The facility's policy required neurological checks to be conducted at specific intervals following a fall with unknown head injury. However, after the resident experienced an unwitnessed fall on 11/17/24, no new neurological evaluations were initiated. Instead, the facility continued with the ongoing daily neurological evaluations that were related to a previous fall on 11/13/24. The resident, who had a history of an unwitnessed fall resulting in a head laceration on 11/13/24, was not provided with the required neurological checks after another unwitnessed fall on 11/17/24. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the evaluations were not initiated due to the resident already being under change in condition monitoring from the earlier fall. This oversight meant that the neurological evaluations were only being conducted daily, rather than at the more frequent intervals required immediately following the new fall.
Resident Falls Due to Improper Clothing Fit and Inadequate Supervision
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the resident environment was as free from accident hazards as possible, resulting in actual harm to a resident. Resident #12, who had a history of falls and severe cognitive impairment, experienced two falls within a short period. The first fall occurred when the resident was found sitting on the floor with improperly fitting pajama pants around her ankles, which were identified as a potential cause of the fall. This fall resulted in pain and a visit to the emergency room, where an x-ray revealed a small stress fracture and a potential abnormality in the right hip. Before further imaging could be obtained, the resident experienced a second fall, which resulted in a right femoral neck fracture requiring surgical intervention. The resident was found on the floor with lacerations and bleeding, necessitating another emergency room visit. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the improperly fitting pajama pants were a potential cause of the first fall, but it was unclear which fall caused the hip fracture. The resident's comprehensive care plan included numerous interventions to prevent falls, such as ensuring proper clothing fit, using non-skid socks, and keeping the environment free of clutter. Despite these interventions, the resident's environment was not adequately supervised or maintained to prevent the falls, leading to significant injury and the need for surgical intervention.
Inaccurate Fall Risk Documentation for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medical records were complete and accurate regarding fall risk evaluations for a resident. The resident had been admitted to the facility after falling at home and fracturing her hip. Two Fall Risk Observation Tool assessments were conducted, one on July 19 and another on July 31, both indicating that the resident required minimum transfer assistance with a gait belt and had balance problems. The assessments also noted the resident's fall history, medication use, and medical conditions that could contribute to falls. Despite these findings, Section F of both assessments incorrectly answered 'No' to the question of whether the resident was identified as a potential risk for falls, contradicting Section E, which correctly identified the resident as a fall risk. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that Section F of the Fall Risk Observation Tools was incorrectly answered, as Section E had correctly indicated the resident's potential risk for falls. The resident's comprehensive care plan did include a care plan for fall risk, but the inconsistency in the documentation of the fall risk assessments represents a failure to maintain accurate medical records. No further information was provided through the completion of the survey process.
