Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Ozark Nursing And Rehab during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Uncovered clean linens were transported through resident care areas on three observations when a Laundry Tech pushed laundry carts down hallways and delivered a cart near the common area without covers over the clean clothing and linens. The LT said the covering was removed upon entering the building and was unsure of the procedure, while another LT said they had only recently learned clean linens required a cover and had no knowledge of periodic in-service training. The HS confirmed laundry should be covered during transport, and the IP and DON described the facility's infection control oversight.
The facility failed to maintain cleanliness in kitchen equipment, affecting 76 residents. A staff member used a contaminated ladle for green peas, and another mishandled a bowl scraper attachment without proper sanitization. The facility lacked a written policy for washing and sanitizing food preparation equipment.

Summary
The facility failed to ensure clean linens and clothing were handled and transported in a manner to prevent contamination by not keeping laundry carts covered during delivery to resident care areas. During three separate observations, a Laundry Tech was seen pushing a laundry cart down the 400 Hall without a cover over clean clothing, then pushing another laundry cart down the 100 Hall without a cover, and later delivering a laundry cart to a room near the common area with clean linens inside that were not covered. During interviews, the Laundry Tech stated the linen covering was removed upon entering the building and expressed uncertainty about the procedure, saying the policy changed frequently. Another Laundry Tech stated being unaware until the current week that clean linens required a covering during transport and had no knowledge of periodic in-service training with laundry staff. The Infection Preventionist stated quarterly infection control in-service training was provided to all staff, and the Housekeeping Supervisor confirmed that laundry should be kept covered during transport to all areas unless removing garments and linens from the cart. The DON stated familiarity with laundry operations and prevention of contamination but could not recall seeing linens transported uncovered in the hallways.
Failure to Maintain Cleanliness in Kitchen Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain cleanliness and prevent contamination in the kitchen during meal preparation and service, affecting 76 residents. During an observation, a staff member used a ladle for green peas that came into contact with other ladle handles and then placed it back into the food without washing or sanitizing it. This action was confirmed as contamination by the Registered Dietician. In another instance, a staff member mishandled a bowl scraper attachment by placing it on a countertop and then using it in food preparation without washing or sanitizing it. The staff member initially did not recall the mishandling but later acknowledged the error. The facility lacked a written policy for washing and sanitizing food preparation equipment, utensils, or surfaces, which contributed to these deficiencies.
