COUNTI
RESPONDENT FAILED TO MAINTAIN AN ACCURATE, DAILY, UP-TO-
DATE, MEDICATION OBSERVATION RECORD (“MOR”)
FOR EACH RESIDENT.
Fla. Admin. Code R. 58A-5.0185(5)(b) (2002)
REPEAT CLASS III
8. AHCA repeats, re-alleges, and incorporates by reference paragraphs one
(1) through seven (7) above as if fully set forth herein.
Survey on or about May 21-22, 2001
9. On or about May 21-22, 2001, AHCA conducted a survey at Respondent.
AHCA cited Respondent for a class ITI deficiency based on the findings below involving
Resident #1 or Resident #5.
Resident #1
10. _ Resident #1 had a physician’s order for Hydrodiuril 25 mg. (milligrams)
one tablet M-W-F. The MOR failed to correlate with the physician’s order.
Additionally, the pharmacy label read, "Hydrodiuril 25 mg., take 1/2 tab M-W-F."
During an interview with Respondent’s Health Care Service Coordinator (“HCSC”), the
HCSC admitted to the AHCA surveyor that Respondent had failed to request a pharmacy
label change from the pharmacy.
Resident #5
11. Resident #5 had a physician’s order for Micro K 10 meq. (millequivelents)
i BID (twice a day). The pharmacy label for this medication read, "Micro K 20 mg. i qd
(daily)." During an interview with Respondent’s HCSC, the HCSC admitted that
Respondent had failed to request a pharmacy label change from the pharmacy. Resident
#5 also had a physician’s order for “Mellaril 50 mg i HS [at hour of sleep] daily.” The
MOR read “Mellaril tab 25 mg i HS” and did not correlate with the physician’s order.
12. Based on the foregoing, Respondent violated Rule 58A-5.0185(5)(b)
Florida Administrative Code, by failing to maintain an accurate, daily, up-to-date, MOR
for Resident #1 or Resident #5.
13. The daily update of resident MORs is required, in pertinent part, as
follows:
(5) MEDICATION RECORDS...(b) For residents who receive
assistance with self-administration or medication administration,
the facility shall maintain a daily up-to-date, medication
observation record (MOR) for each resident. A MOR must include
the name of the resident and any known allergies the resident may
have; the name of the resident’s health care provider, the health
care provider’s telephone number; the name of each medication
prescribed, its strength, and directions for use; and a chart for
recording each time the medication is taken, any missed dosages,
refusals to take medication as prescribed, or medication errors.
The MOR must be immediately updated each time the medication
is offered or administered...” Fla. Admin. Code R. 58A-
5.0185(5)(b) (2002).
14. _ For this deficiency, AHCA provided Respondent with a mandated
correction date of June 22, 2001.
15. On or about July 11, 2001, AHCA conducted a follow-up visit to the
survey on or about May 21-22, 2001. Respondent had corrected the foregoing class III
deficiency.
Survey on or about May 20-21 , 2003
16. | Onor about May 20-21, 2003, AHCA conducted a survey at Respondent.
AHCA cited Respondent again for violating Rule 58A-5.0185(5)(b), Florida
Administrative Code, based on the findings below involving Resident #12.
Resident #12
17. Onor about May 21, 2003, at approximately 10:00 a.m., an AHCA
surveyor reviewed Resident #12’s medical record including the MOR. The record
contained a physician's order for Lopressor (Metoprolol) 25 mg BID (twice a day).
According to the MOR, Resident #12 had a physician’s order for Metoprolol 50
milligrams (mg), take % tablet (25mg) by mouth twice daily at 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
The 5:00 p.m. dose was crossed out on the MOR and the following note was
documented: "if pulse greater than 90 then increase to BID (twice a day).”
18. The HCSC reviewed Resident #12’s medical record and was unable to
find a physician’s order that changed the dose from twice a day to once a day and twice a
day only if pulse is greater than ninety (90). According to Resident #12’s MOR dated
April 2003, the physician’s order was changed on or about April 7, 2003. The medical
record, however, contained no physician's order showing this change. The MOR did not
correlate with the physician’s order in Resident #12’s medical record. Respondent’s staff
called the physician's office to clarify the order.
19. According to the daily pulses recorded in the record, Resident #12's pulse
was higher than ninety (90) on three (3) days in the month of May. A second dose of the
medication was not documented in the MOR as given to Resident #12 per the new
physician’s order. An AHCA surveyor asked Respondent’s HCSC if the medication had
been given. The HCSC reviewed the MOR and said the MOR contained no
documentation showing that Resident #12 received the medication twice on those three
days in May as per the change in the physician’s order.
20. Based on the foregoing, Respondent violated Rule 58A-5.0185(5)(b)
Florida Administrative Code, by failing to maintain an accurate, daily, up-to-date, MOR
for Resident #12.
21. The foregoing deficiency constitutes a repeat Class III deficiency and
warrants fine of $500.00, to wit:
...(c) Class III violations are those conditions or occurrences
related to the operation and maintenance of a facility or the
personal care of residents which the agency determines indirectly
or potentially threaten the physical or emotional health, safety, or
security of facility residents, other than class I or II violations. A
Class III violation is subject to an administrative fine of not less
than $500 and not exceeding $1,000 for each violation...

COUNT Il
RESPONDENT FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE RESIDENT BILL OR
RIGHTS BY FAILING TO ENSURE THAT EACH RESIDENT HAS THE RIGHT
TO LIVE IN A SAFE AND DECENT LIVING ENVIRONMENT
FREE FROM NEGLECT OR BY FALING TO ENSURE THAT EACH
RESIDENT IS TREATED WITH CONSIDERATION AND RESPECT AND
WITH DUE RECOGNITION OF PERSONAL DIGNITY, INDIVIDUALITY AND
THE NEED FOR PRIVACY.
§ 400.428(1), Fla. Stat. (2002)
REPEAT CLASS III
22. | AHCA repeats, re-alleges, and incorporates by reference paragraphs one
(1) through seven (7) above as if fully set forth herein.
Survey on or about May 21-22, 2001
23. | Onor about May 21-22, 2001, AHCA conducted a survey at Respondent.
AHCA cited Respondent for a class III deficiency based on the findings below involving
Resident #2.
Resident #2
24. On or about May 21-22, 2001, an AHCA surveyor reviewed Resident #2’s
medical record, interviewed Respondent’s nurse, and observed Resident #2.
25. According to Resident #2’s medical record, Resident #2 was admitted to
Respondent on or about January 26, 2001, with a diagnosis of cardio vascular accident.
During the survey, an AHCA surveyor knocked on Resident #2's door and entered when
a voice said, "Help me." The AHCA surveyor observed Resident #2 wearing a blouse
and a brief and sitting with her back to the door. She had wet hair and was shivering.
Both legs were bare with two 3-inch flapped open skin tears. The AHCA surveyor
observed blood dripping onto the floor from both skin tears. Resident #2 had blue toes
and feet and large ecchymotic areas all over her legs and arms. There was no lap blanket
or article of clothing to cover the lower extremities visible in the room. The AHCA
surveyor observed no staff in attendance.
26. Resident #2 asked the AHCA surveyor for help getting into bed. The
AHCA surveyor left Resident #2’s room to find help after reassuring the resident that she
would return. The AHCA surveyor located a nurse coming out of another room and
requested help for Resident #2. The nurse said, "They showered her and left her for me
to dress her legs, she must have kicked the pad away from under her feet."
27. Resident #2 was transported to the hospital for an evaluation of the
extensive skin tears on both legs. Resident #2 returned from the hospital that afternoon
with steri-strips, wound dressings, and physician’s orders for the wounds to be treated at
the Wound Care Center.
28. Based on the foregoing, Respondent violated Section 400.428(1), Florida
Statutes, by failing to ensure that Resident #2 lived in a safe and decent living
environment, free from neglect or by failing to ensure that Resident #2 was treated with
consideration and respect and with due recognition of personal dignity, individuality, and
the need for privacy.
29. For this deficiency, AHCA provided Respondent with a mandated
correction date of June 22, 2001.
30. | Onor about September 25, 2002, AHCA conducted a follow-up visit to
the survey on or about May 21-22, 2001. Respondent had corrected the foregoing class
III deficiency.
Survey on or about May 20-21, 2003
31. | Onor about May 20-21, 2003, AHCA conducted another survey at
Respondent. AHCA cited Respondent again for violating Section 400.428 (1), Florida
Statutes, based on the findings below involving Resident #1, Resident #4, Resident #5,
Resident #7, Resident #9, Resident #10, or Resident #11.
Resident #4
32. On or about May 21, 2003, at approximately 11:25 a.m., an AHCA
surveyor observed Respondent’s registered nurse (“RN”) administer gastrostomy tube
feeding to Resident #4.
33. The RN failed to wash her hands or put on gloves prior to carrying out the
procedure. The RN poured one can of Nutren 2.0 into the tube feed bag. She flushed the
gastrostomy tube with 30cc of water and connected the feeding tube to the gastrostomy
tube. The RN said she would be back to check the feeding every twenty (20) minutes and
would flush again at the end of the procedure.
34. On or about May 20-21, 2003, an AHCA surveyor reviewed Resident #4’s
medical record. The record contained a physician's order dated April 18, 2003, to
increase the water flush to 125cc pre-feeding and post-feeding.
Resident #5
35. | Onor about May 20, 2003, at approximately 2:30 p.m., an AHCA
surveyor interviewed Resident #5 in Resident #5’s room. During the interview, the
surveyor observed oxygen tanks lying on the floor under a chair. The oxygen tanks were
not secured to prevent rolling or falling over.
36. During the survey on or about May 20-21, 2003, an AHCA surveyor
requested a copy of Respondent’s policy on oxygen therapy. The policy was as follows:
1) Make sure that the oxygen tank is in an approved stand to
prevent rolling or accidental fall. The oxygen in these tanks is
under high pressure. If the tank falls over and the valve stem
breaks, the pressure is released, causing the tank to be propelled
like a projectile.
2) Store tanks away from direct sunlight or heat.
37. On or about May 20, 2003, at approximately 4:15 p.m., an AHCA
surveyor interviewed Respondent’s Executive Director and HCSC. The Executive
Director said he would take care of the oxygen tanks immediately. The following
morning at about 9:40 a.m., the AHCA surveyor observed Resident #5’s room. The
oxygen tanks were still on the floor unsecured. At approximately 11:30 a.m., Respondent
secured the oxygen tank in a blue plastic container with separators.
38. Onor about May 20, 2003, at approximately 2:30 p.m., an AHCA
surveyor interviewed Resident #5. During the interview, Resident #5 said she was told
by administration upon admission that she had to use Respondent’s pharmacy to order
medications because Respondent uses the punch card system. Resident #5 said she has
“Tri Care for Life", a federal prescription plan for retired armed service personnel that
has a $3.00 charge for generic medications for ninety (90) days and a $9.00 charge for
non-generics. Resident #5 said the cost of medication from Respondent’s pharmacy was
much higher than the cost under the Tri Care for Life plan. The AHCA surveyor
observed punch cards and cassettes for medication distribution on Respondent’s medicine
cart.
39. On or about May 20, 2003, at about 4:14 p.m., an AHCA surveyor
interviewed Respondent’s Administrator. The Administrator said he would look into
Resident #5’s ability to have her medications filled through the federal program.
Resident #7
40. On or about May 20, 2003, at approximately 9:50 a.m., an AHCA
surveyor performed an initial tour of Respondent. The surveyor observed three large, 30-
inch, and six, small, 15-inch, oxygen tanks lying on the floor under a chair near the air
conditioning/heating unit in Resident #7’s room. The oxygen tanks were not secured to
prevent rolling or falling over. During an interview, Resident #7 told the surveyor that
the oxygen tanks had always been there. The next day at approximately 11:30 a.m.,
Respondent secured the oxygen tank in a blue plastic container with separators.
Resident #9
41. Onor about May 20-21, 2003, an AHCA surveyor reviewed Resident #9’s
medical record. Resident #9 was admitted to Respondent on or about February 26, 2003,
and re-admitted to Respondent on or about March 18, 2003, after a hospitalization.
42. A note in the record revealed that Resident #1 agitated Resident #9 during
lunch on or about May 18, 2003, by calling out. According to the note, Resident #9 said,
"My wife and I will not eat in the dining room if he [Resident #1] is in here."
43. | Onor about May 20, 2003, at approximately 2:00 p.m., an AHCA
surveyor interviewed Resident #9. Resident #9 said Resident #1's calling out during
meals is unpleasant and Respondent has done nothing to address the problem.
44, On or about May 20, 2003, at about 11:45 a.m., an AHCA surveyor
observed lunch in the dining room. Resident #9 complained that he was tired of Resident
#1’s calling out and said he did not want to sit there. Respondent’s staff ignored Resident
#9 and his wife. Resident #9 got up and left the dining room. At about 12:00 p.m.,
Resident #1 finished his sandwich and called out "Help!" several times. Resident #9
returned to the dining room and said, "you can be crazy as a loon and they feed you, but
if you want a quiet place to eat, they refuse you." Resident #9 went back down the hall
and sat down. Respondent’s staff failed to intervene.
45. | Onor about May 20-21, 2003, an AHCA surveyor discussed the situation
with Respondent’s staff and Administrator. At approximately 12:20 p.m., Respondent
served Resident #9 and his wife lunch on the outside patio. Resident #9 and his wife told
10
the AHCA surveyor that they desire to eat in a quiet environment and do not expect to be
served every meal outdoors.
Resident #10
46. Onor about May 21, 2003, at approximately 12:05 p.m., an AHCA
surveyor observed Resident #10 eating her lunch with three (3) other residents at the
table. Respondent’s nurse approached Resident #10 and said she was here to administer
eye drops. Respondent’s nurse failed to ask Resident #10 if she wanted privacy before
administering the eye drops. The nurse administered the eye drops while Resident #10
sat at the dining room table with the other three (3) residents. Respondent’s nurse failed
to administer Resident #10’s eye drops in a private setting.
Resident #11
47. Onor about May 21, 2003, at approximately 10:00 a.m., an AHCA
surveyor observed a medication pass. A nurse administered eye drops to Resident #11 in
the hallway outside the main dining room. Resident #11 was sitting on a bench with two
other residents. Respondent’s nurse failed to administer Resident #11’s eye drops ina
private setting.
48. Based on all of the foregoing, Respondent violated Section 400.428(1)
Florida Statutes, by failing to ensure that each resident in the facility shall have the night
to live in a safe and decent living environment, free from neglect or by failing to ensure
that each resident is treated with consideration and respect and with due recognition of
personal dignity, individuality, and the need for privacy.
49. The foregoing deficiency constitutes a repeat Class II deficiency and
warrants a fine of $500.00, to wit:
(c) Class III violations are those conditions or occurrences
related to the operation and maintenance of a facility or the
personal care of residents which the agency determines indirectly
or potentially threaten the physical or emotional health, safety, or
security of facility residents, other than class I or II violations. A
Class III violation is subject to an administrative fine of not less
than $500 and not exceeding $1,000 for each violation...
(§ 400.419(1)(c), Fla. Stat. (2002)).
COUNT II
RESPONDENT FAILED TO ENSURE THAT THE USE OF PHYSICAL
RESTRAINTS SHALL BE LIMITED TO HALF-BED RAILS, AND ONLY UPON
THE WRITTEN ORDER OF THE RESIDENT’S PHYSICIAN, AND CONSENT
OF THE RESIDENT OR THE RESIDENT’S REPRESENTATIVE.
§ 400.441(1)(k), Fla. Stat. (2002)
Fla. Admin. Code R. 58A-5.0182(6)(h) (2002)
REPEAT CLASS III
50. | AHCA repeats, re-alleges, and incorporates by reference paragraphs one
(1) through seven (7) above as if fully set forth herein.
Survey on or about August 5, 2002
51. On or about August 5, 2002, AHCA conducted a survey at the
Respondent’s facility. AHCA cited the Respondent for a class III deficiency based on the
findings below involving Resident #1 or Resident #2.
Resident #1
52. On or about August 5, 2002, an AHCA surveyor observed Resident #1 in
bed. Resident#1 had half-bed rails in the up position while in bed.
12
53. On or about August 5, 2002, an AHCA surveyor reviewed Resident #1’s
medical record including hospice records. Resident #1 was a Hospice patient as of May
16, 2002. None of the records contained a physician’s order for half-bed rails as required
by law.
Resident #2
54. On or about August 5, 2002, at approximately 9:00 a.m., an AHCA
surveyor observed Resident #2's room. Resident #2’s bed had half-bed-rails and one was
in the up position.
55. On or about August 5, 2002, an AHCA surveyor reviewed Resident #2’s
medical record. The record contained an old physician’s order for half-bed rails dated
September 4, 2001. The record did not contain a new physician’s order for half-bed rails.
56. | Onor about August 5, 2002, an AHCA surveyor interviewed
Respondent’s nursing staff. Respondent’s staff stated, "If a resident was Hospice they
did not need to have orders for bed-rails." Respondent’s staff was unaware of both the
need for a new physician’s order and of the fact that the physician’s order for half-bed
rails in the medical record had expired and was no longer valid.
57. Based on the foregoing, Respondent violated Section 400.441(1)(k),
Florida Statutes, or Rule 58A-5.0182(6)(h), Florida Administrative Code, by failing
ensure that the use of physical restraints is limited to half-bed rails as prescribed and
documented by the resident’s physician with the consent of the resident, or if applicable,
the resident’s representative or designee or the resident’s surrogate, guardian, or attorney
in fact.
58. For this deficiency, AHCA provided Respondent with a mandated
correction date of June 21, 2003.
59. On or about September 25, 2002, AHCA conducted a follow-up visit to
the survey on or about August 5, 2002. Respondent had corrected the class III
deficiency.
Survey on or about May 20-21, 2003
60. On or about May 20-21, 2003, AHCA conducted another survey at
Respondent. AHCA cited Respondent again for violating Section 400.441(1)(k), Florida
Statutes, or Rule 58A-5.0182(6)(h), Florida Administrative Code, based on the findings
below involving Resident #2 or Resident #3.
Resident #2
61. On or about May 20, 2003, at about 9:15 a.m., an AHCA surveyor entered
Respondent’s Clare Bridge Unit. According to Respondent’s staff, Respondent had
posted a poem with the access code to the door, but a resident figured it out and staff took
it down.
62. | Onor about May 20, 2003, an AHCA surveyor observed Resident #2
standing inside the Clare Bridge Unit at the door. When Respondent’s staff and AHCA
surveyor entered, Resident #2 said, "I want to go home to my family. I should be able to
get out if [ want to." Respondent’s staff advised Resident #2 that she could not leave.
According to Respondent’s staff, Resident #2’s spouse recently passed away and she
knew he had an apartment in another part of the building and she looked for him every
day.
Resident #3
63. | Onor about May 20, 2003, at about 1:30 p.m., an AHCA surveyor
observed Resident #3. Resident #3 was asleep in bed with half-bed rails up and a chair
positioned next to the bed about one foot down from the half-bed rail. When staff
entered the room with the AHCA surveyor, staff moved the chair away from the bed.
After observation by the AHCA surveyor of Resident #3 sleeping in the middle of the
bed, staff moved the chair back to its position, placing it in a position to assume a full
restraint next to the bed.
64. On or about May 20-21, 2003, an AHCA surveyor interviewed
Respondent’s staff. According to staff, Resident #3 fell on or about May 15, 2003.
65. | Onor about May 20-21, 2003, an AHCA surveyor reviewed the accident
and incident report for the fall on or about May 15, 2003. The review revealed that the
resolution was, "make sure the resident is pulled up in bed."
30. The foregoing deficiency constitutes a repeat Class III deficiency and
warrants a fine of $500.00, to wit:
...(c) Class III violations are those conditions or occurrences
related to the operation and maintenance of a facility or the
personal care of residents which the agency determines indirectly
or potentially threaten the physical or emotional health, safety, or
security of facility residents, other than class I or II violations. A
Class HI violation is subject to an administrative fine of not less
than $500 and not exceeding $1,000 for each violation...
(§ 400.419(1)(c), Fla. Stat. (2002))
WHEREFORE, AHCA respectfully requests the following relief:
1. Enter factual and legal findings as set forth in the allegations of Count I, II and
OI; and
2. Impose a fine in the amount of $1,500.00 against Respondent.
