Failure to Provide Required Transfer/Discharge Notices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a written Notice of Transfer/Discharge that included the resident's right to appeal and the contact information for the Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This deficiency was identified during a review of medical records and staff interviews for five residents who were hospitalized. The absence of this information was noted in the transfer documentation for each resident, indicating a systemic issue with the facility's notification process. Resident #20 was transferred to the hospital multiple times, and each time, the Notice of Transfer/Discharge lacked the necessary information regarding appeal rights and ombudsman contact details. Similarly, Resident #52, Resident #12, and Resident #21 were also transferred to the hospital without receiving the required notice. The facility's Administrator and Director of Nursing acknowledged during interviews that the forms used did not include the necessary information. Additionally, Resident #33 was transferred to the hospital twice, and while some required documents were completed, the Acute Transfer Letter did not provide a written notice of transfer/discharge that included the resident's right to file a grievance. This was confirmed by the Director of Nursing. The consistent omission of critical information in the transfer documentation for all reviewed residents highlights a significant deficiency in the facility's compliance with notification requirements.
Failure to Maintain Cleanliness of P-Tac Unit
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment in one of the rooms surveyed during the long-term care survey process. Specifically, the P-Tac unit in room [ROOM NUMBER] was observed to have lint and debris inside the vent grille during an inspection. This issue was noted on two consecutive days, indicating that the unit had not been cleaned or maintained properly. The deficiency was identified during a random opportunity for discovery, and the facility census at the time was 52.
Inaccurate Medical Records and Documentation Errors
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain accurate medical records for two residents during the Long-Term Care Survey Process. For one resident, there was a discrepancy between the Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (POST) form and the active physician order regarding the resident's code status. The POST form indicated a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) status, while the physician order incorrectly stated CPR. This error occurred after the resident returned from a hospital visit, and the incorrect code status was entered by an LPN. For another resident, the facility's immunization records were incomplete. The Pneumonia vaccine consent/declination form was missing the resident's name, although it was signed by two witnesses and indicated a verbal declination. This oversight was confirmed by the Director of Nursing and the Administrator, highlighting a lapse in documentation accuracy.
