Griffith Park Healthcare: Infection Control Lapses - CA
The January 29 complaint investigation found violations of federal requirements that nursing homes ensure care plans remain current and reflect residents' evolving medical needs. Inspectors classified the violation as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm to a few residents.
The deficiency centered on the facility's failure to revise care plans when information about residents' conditions changed. Federal regulations require nursing homes to continuously assess residents and adjust their individualized care plans accordingly.
Griffith Park Healthcare Center, located at 201 Allen Avenue, operates as a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility. The inspection was conducted in response to a complaint rather than as part of routine monitoring.
The citation falls under federal tag F0656, which governs comprehensive care plan requirements. This regulation mandates that nursing homes develop detailed care plans for each resident and modify them as health conditions, functional abilities, or care needs evolve.
Care plan violations can have serious consequences for residents, as outdated plans may result in inappropriate treatments, missed interventions, or failure to address changing medical needs. Proper care planning serves as the foundation for coordinated resident care across all disciplines.
The facility must submit a plan of correction detailing how it will address the identified deficiencies. Information about the nursing home's corrective action plan can be obtained by contacting either the facility directly or the state survey agency responsible for oversight.
The inspection report indicates this was an ongoing issue affecting the facility's care planning processes rather than an isolated incident.
