Health deficiencies cited at Cody Regional Health Long Term Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure medications were administered in the presence of nursing staff for two residents. On separate occasions, residents were found with medication cups without a nurse present. The DON confirmed that neither resident was assessed for self-administration, and the facility's policy requires a licensed nurse to observe medication ingestion.
The facility failed to ensure proper medication administration as two residents were found with medication cups unattended, contrary to the policy requiring a licensed nurse to observe medication ingestion. Neither resident was assessed for self-administration, and they were not authorized to self-administer medications.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and an indwelling catheter was observed being transferred by a CNA who failed to wear gloves while handling the catheter drainage bag. The CNA positioned the bag above the bladder, allowing urine to flow back, and placed it on the floor, contrary to the care plan. The DON confirmed the need for gloves and proper bag positioning, highlighting a lack of detailed care plan guidance.
Two residents experienced improper infection control practices during personal care. A CNA failed to change contaminated gloves after perineal care for a resident with moderate cognitive impairment. Another CNA handled a catheter drainage bag without gloves and positioned it incorrectly for a resident with severe cognitive impairment. The DON confirmed these actions were against protocol.
Failure to Ensure Medications Administered in Presence of Nursing Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medications were administered in the presence of nursing staff for residents in one of its units. On two separate occasions, residents were observed with medication cups containing medications without a nurse present. In one instance, a resident reported that an LPN had left the medication cup on the table. In another instance, an RN reminded a resident to take their medication but did not observe the ingestion. The Director of Nursing confirmed that neither resident was assessed for self-administration of medication, and they were not authorized to self-administer. The facility's policy requires that a licensed nurse always observe the resident during medication administration to ensure the dose is completely ingested. This practice was not followed, leading to the deficiency.
Failure to Ensure Proper Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nursing staff dispensed medications according to its policy and procedure on one of its resident units. During an observation, a resident was found with a medication cup containing medications on the table in front of them without a nurse present, as the medications had been dropped off by an LPN. In another instance, a resident had a medication cup in front of them in the dining room, and an RN reminded the resident to take the medication, assuming it had been taken. Neither resident was assessed for self-administration of medication, and they were not authorized to self-administer medications. The facility's policy requires that a licensed nurse always observe the resident during medication administration to ensure the dose is completely ingested.
Failure to Implement Comprehensive Care Plan for Resident with Indwelling Catheter
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for a resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions, including renal insufficiency and neurogenic bladder. The resident, who had an indwelling catheter and was dependent on staff for personal care, was observed being transferred by a CNA using a mechanical lift. During the transfer, the CNA handled the resident's catheter drainage bag without wearing gloves, and positioned the bag above the resident's bladder, allowing urine to flow back towards the bladder. The CNA then placed the drainage bag on the floor, which was not in accordance with the care plan that specified the bag should be positioned below the bladder level. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the staff member should have donned gloves before handling the catheter drainage bag and should not have positioned the bag above the bladder or on the floor. The care plan for the indwelling catheter did not include specific instructions to prevent the drainage bag from being placed on the floor, indicating a lack of detailed guidance for staff. The DON also acknowledged that care information should be included in the care plan to ensure staff know how to provide appropriate care to residents.
Infection Control Deficiencies During Personal Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement proper infection prevention practices for two residents during personal care. For the first resident, who had moderate cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for personal hygiene, a CNA performed perineal care without changing contaminated gloves before handling clean items. This was confirmed by the CNA during an interview, acknowledging the resident's urinary incontinence and the failure to remove gloves after performing perineal care. For the second resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and an indwelling catheter, a CNA handled the catheter drainage bag without wearing gloves and positioned the bag above the resident's bladder, causing urine to flow back toward the bladder. The CNA also placed the drainage bag on the floor and later wiped down the mechanical lift without proper glove use. The DON confirmed that gloves should have been worn when handling the catheter drainage bag and that the bag should not have been positioned above the bladder or placed on the floor.
