The Barrington of Carmel

Complaint IN00421930 was investigated with no deficiencies related to the allegations cited. The verbal abuse incident involved QMA 1 verbally threatening Resident B and was substantiated by video evidence. QMA 1 was terminated. The medication error involved Resident C receiving Carbidopa-Levodopa-Entacapone instead of Carbidopa-Levodopa, leading to hospitalization.

The facility failed to ensure a resident was free from verbal abuse after a staff member verbally threatened him. Additionally, the facility failed to ensure the correct medication was administered to a resident, resulting in hospitalization due to medication error.

The facility was found in compliance with Emergency Preparedness Requirements but was found not in compliance with Life Safety Code requirements due to failure to properly mark two doors leading outside as non-exits, which could confuse residents, staff, and visitors.

The facility was found to have multiple deficiencies including failure to ensure residents at the same table were served simultaneously, failure to notify the physician of significant weight loss in a resident, insufficient registered nurse coverage for certain days, and inadequate monitoring of antipsychotic medication side effects including EPS. The facility was found to be in compliance with State Residential Licensure requirements.

The facility was found deficient in several areas including failure to serve residents at the same time during meals, failure to notify the physician of significant weight loss in a resident, failure to ensure registered nurse coverage for required hours on certain days, and failure to properly monitor residents for extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) related to antipsychotic medications.

The facility failed to ensure a resident received privacy during an assessment, as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner interviewed a resident in the dining room in the presence of others, which was deemed inappropriate.
