Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ashton Place Health And Rehab, Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow food safety standards, including improper storage of hamburger buns, inadequate hand hygiene by dietary staff, and failure to maintain correct temperatures for cold food items. Hamburger buns were not kept frozen as required, and dietary staff did not wash hands after handling contaminated items, leading to cross-contamination. Cold food items were not kept at the required temperature, and a dietary aide did not follow handwashing protocols, violating facility policy.
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene and Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during resident care, leading to potential infection risks. A CNA did not use hand sanitizer after touching environmental surfaces before handling an ice scoop, contrary to facility policy. Additionally, an LPN did not wear a gown while flushing a resident's feeding tube, despite EBP requirements. These deficiencies were confirmed through observations and staff interviews, highlighting a lack of consistent implementation of infection control protocols.
A resident with a right-hand contracture was not receiving prescribed hand splint treatments as ordered, despite documentation indicating otherwise. Observations showed the splint was not applied, and staff interviews revealed confusion about responsibility for its application. The facility lacked clear policies and training on splint application, leading to non-compliance with physician orders.
Food Safety and Hygiene Deficiencies in Dietary Department
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to manufacturer specifications and professional standards in food handling and storage, leading to several deficiencies. Hamburger buns were left unfrozen on a bread rack since their receipt, contrary to the manufacturer's instructions to keep them frozen. Additionally, dietary staff did not follow proper hand hygiene protocols. One dietary staff member, after handling contaminated items, failed to wash her hands before donning gloves and subsequently contaminated food items. Another staff member handled food and clean equipment without washing her hands after touching dirty objects, further risking cross-contamination. Temperature control for food items was also inadequate. Cold food items, such as ham sandwiches and chef salads, were not maintained at the required temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below, with recorded temperatures of 45 and 61 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively. This was acknowledged by the dietary staff, who admitted that these items should have been kept on ice. Additionally, a dietary aide failed to wash her hands after handling various items and before touching clean equipment, violating the facility's handwashing policy. These actions collectively demonstrate a lack of compliance with food safety standards and facility policies.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Hand Hygiene and Feeding Tube Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene practices were followed by staff while passing ice to residents, which could potentially lead to the spread of infection. Observations revealed that a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) did not use hand sanitizer after touching items in the resident's environment, such as doorknobs and faucet handles, before handling the ice scoop. This practice was contrary to the facility's policy, which required staff to sanitize their hands before and after entering resident rooms and after touching environmental surfaces. Interviews with the CNA, Administrator, Minimum Data Set/Infection Preventionist (MDS/IP) Nurse, and Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the expected hand hygiene procedures, which were not followed, thus increasing the risk of cross-contamination among residents. The facility also failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during the care of a resident with a feeding tube, which could lead to infection risks. The resident, who had a history of stroke, dysphasia, and aphasia, required a feeding tube for nutrition. During an observation, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was seen flushing the resident's feeding tube without wearing a gown, despite the facility's policy and CDC recommendations that required gowning and gloving during high-contact procedures involving indwelling devices. The LPN acknowledged the mistake after reading the EBP signage, which indicated the necessity of wearing a gown and gloves for device care. Interviews with the facility's staff, including the Administrator, LPNs, and DON, revealed a lack of consistent understanding and implementation of EBP for residents with feeding tubes. The facility's policies and in-service training did not adequately address the requirement for gowning during feeding tube care, leading to non-compliance with infection control protocols. The failure to adhere to EBP and hand hygiene practices posed a risk of infection transmission to residents and staff.
Failure to Apply Hand Splint as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with a right-hand contracture was receiving the prescribed hand splint treatments as ordered by the physician. The resident, who had a history of stroke, dysphasia, and aphasia, was observed multiple times without the hand splint, despite the care plan and physician's orders requiring it to be worn for 6 to 8 hours daily. Nursing staff had documented that the splint was in place, but observations and interviews revealed that it was not being applied, and the splint was found in the resident's closet instead of on the resident. Interviews with various staff members, including LPNs, the Director of PT/OT, and the Occupational Therapist, indicated a lack of clarity and communication regarding the responsibility for applying the hand splint. Some staff assumed it was the responsibility of physical therapy, while others admitted to documenting the splint as applied without actually doing so. The Medical Director confirmed that the order for the hand splint was in place and expected it to be followed to prevent worsening of the resident's contracture. The facility's policies and procedures regarding the application and documentation of splints were found to be inadequate, as evidenced by the lack of specific guidelines in the Med Pass Checklist and the absence of in-service training on the matter. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that documenting the application of the splint without actually applying it was inappropriate and could lead to further decline in the resident's condition.
