Summary
The facility's Quality Assurance Committee did not ensure the effectiveness of the Plan of Correction for previously identified deficiencies from the Annual Long Term Care Survey Process. Specifically, the federal citation F695, related to failure to maintain a sanitary environment to help prevent the development and transmission of disease and infection associated with respiratory care, was cited again during a follow-up survey. This repeat deficiency was confirmed through record review and interviews with the Administrator and the Director of Nursing.
