Good Samaritan Society Bloomfield: Daily Care Gaps - NE

Healthcare Facility
Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield
Bloomfield, NE  ·  3/5 stars

A second aide arrived partway through and stayed four hours. For the other four hours of that overnight shift, one person handled the floor alone.

That was not the only short shift. Inspectors reviewing schedules from October 22 through November 5 found repeated gaps between who was supposed to be there and who actually was. On the Saturday and Sunday of that weekend, two aides covered the morning shift when three were required. On November 2, a single aide worked the evening shift from 6 PM to 10 PM, then one aide covered overnight through 6:30 AM, when the standard called for two on each stretch.

The consequences showed up in the call light data. On November 5, residents pressed their call buttons 14 times and waited. The shortest wait was 16 minutes. The longest was 40. The facility's own standard required a response within 15 minutes.

The Director of Nursing, interviewed by inspectors on November 24, confirmed both facts without dispute: the staffing targets had not been met on those shifts, and call lights had not been answered on time.

She confirmed the required numbers herself. Weekday mornings called for four CNAs. Weekend mornings, three. Afternoons, two to three. Overnight, two.

On multiple occasions across those two weeks, the facility ran at half that, or less.

The inspection was conducted as a complaint survey. Inspectors rated the harm level as minimal or potential. Some residents were affected.

What those residents needed during those 40 minutes of waiting, the report does not say.
