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. During a follow-up survey, it was found that the same deficiencies, specifically F761 and F880, were still present. F761 involved the failure to monitor medication refrigerator temperatures on a daily basis, while F880 pertained to the failure to maintain an Infection Control Program by not applying appropriate interventions related to Enhanced Barrier Precautions. These deficiencies were observed and confirmed through record review and interviews, and were discussed with facility leadership during the exit conference.
