• Failure to Prohibit Mistreatment, Neglect or Misappropriation of Care of Residents

  In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 08/11/2011, a complaint investigation was opened noting that the facility “failed to have a policy that directs the nursing staff to reconcile residents’ names and birth dates on admission, with documentation received from the hospital.” This is in response to the facility’s failure to provide a resident quality care. Instead, the facility issued a resident “multiple medications prescribed for another patient at the hospital from where she was discharged.”

  The resident “continued to receive these medications for five days after her admission. This caused an elevation of [the resident’s] potassium to a critical level. [The resident] was admitted to the intensive care unit in serious condition with diagnoses of hyperkalemia, acute renal failure and bradycardia.”

• Failure to Provide an Environment Where a Resident Is Free of Physical Restraint

  In a summary statement of deficiencies dated 09/12/2014 during an annual licensure and certification survey, it was noted that the “facility failed to assess and implement less restrictive measures attempted prior to utilizing side rails for four [residents].” This is in response to an observation that show physicians order sheet (POS) indicating “low air loss mattress with side rails x2.” Instead, two full side rails with seizure pads and fall prevention were installed, restricting the resident’s “freedom of movement and/or access to own body, with risk of injury and entrapment.”
