Unclean Food Prep Surface During Puree Process: During puree food preparation, the DM placed a blender lid and spatula directly on a metal prep table that had visible debris and liquid residue between blender units. The table had not been cleaned since the prior morning shift, and the DM said a clean barrier should have been used before starting but was not placed until midway through the process. The RDM confirmed the surface should have been cleaned and sanitized before use, and the pureed food prepared during the observation was discarded.
A resident with dementia and moderate cognitive impairment had trust account funds used for multiple large retail purchases that were not verified against the receipts or the items actually bought. The ADM stated the account was managed by the facility, blank checks were given to the family member for spend-down purchases, and receipts were accepted without verification. The SSD also stated staff marked items when brought in but did not verify purchases, while the family member said the resident did not go shopping and had not signed anything authorizing how the money could be spent.
The facility failed to maintain cleanliness and proper storage in the kitchen. Observations included a food blender on a dirty table, grease traps with clumps, and improperly stored dishes. The Dietary Manager acknowledged the issues, which contradicted the facility's cleaning policy.
A resident's call light system was found to be non-functional, as reported by the resident and confirmed by a surveyor. The resident had informed a CNA about the issue, but it was not documented in the maintenance log. The facility lacked a specific policy for call lights, relying on monthly checks and alternative alert methods. The deficiency was identified when the call light did not register at the central screen.
A facility failed to provide a written notice of discharge for a resident with traumatic brain bleed and dementia, who was transferred to a psychiatric facility and then discharged home. The resident's representative was only verbally informed about the discharge, contrary to the facility's policy requiring written notification.
Unclean Food Prep Surface During Puree Process
Penalty
Summary
Food was not prepared under sanitary conditions during the puree process when the Dietary Manager placed the blender lid and a spatula directly on a metal table surface that had visible white particulate debris and off-white liquid residue between two blender units. During the lunch meal preparation observation, the DM removed the blender lid, set it on the unclean table surface, returned it to the blender, then removed it again and placed it back on the same surface. The spatula used to scrape the blender sides was also placed on that same table during the preparation process. The weekly kitchen cleaning schedule showed the table had last been cleaned on the morning shift two days earlier. The DM stated a barrier of clean parchment paper should have been placed on the table before puree preparation began and said a paper towel was not placed until halfway through the process. The DM also stated she was not aware of the particulates and spillage on the table when the puree began. The Regional Dietary Manager confirmed the table should be cleaned and sanitized before use and that food debris or residue should not be present on any surface used during active food preparation. The pureed foods processed during the observation were discarded and not served to residents.
Resident Trust Account Purchases Were Not Verified
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to consistently hold, secure, and manage a resident’s personal money that was deposited with the nursing home, and failed to follow generally accepted accounting practices for the resident trust account of one resident whose account was reviewed. The resident had diagnoses including cognitive communication deficit, dementia, and malaise, and the quarterly MDS indicated moderate cognitive impairment. The care plan documented impaired cognitive function and impaired thought process related to dementia, along with the need for assistance with decision making. Review of the resident trust account showed multiple large withdrawals tied to retail purchases that were not verified against the items actually purchased. On one occasion, items bought with a check from the resident trust account included clothing and personal items for a female resident, but the Administrator confirmed there was no verification of the items purchased. On another occasion, a retail purchase included clothing, toiletries, food, and household items, and the Administrator again confirmed there was no verification of the items purchased. A later transaction involved a very large purchase of food and clothing items, and part of the amount was paid by the family member’s personal debit card and then presented for reimbursement from the resident trust account. The Administrator reported that when the account approached the limit, the resident or responsible party was contacted and instructed to spend down the account, and that a blank check was provided with instructions to bring back the receipt. The Administrator admitted the receipt was not verified before the amount was deducted from the resident’s trust account and stated she had never verified a purchase with the receipt provided. The Social Services Director stated that staff marked personal items when brought in but did not verify purchases with receipts. The resident’s family member reported the resident did not go shopping for the large purchase and that the items were bought for Thanksgiving and a birthday party, while also stating the resident did not sign papers indicating what the money could be spent for or any preferences. Facility policy required the facility to hold, safeguard, manage, and account for resident personal funds, notify residents in advance of charges, obtain written permission, and file copies of financial transactions in the resident’s record.
Kitchen Cleanliness and Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain cleanliness and proper storage practices in the kitchen, as observed by the surveyor. During an initial tour, a food blender was found on a table with a light brown runny substance, and a metal kitchen ladle was also present. The Dietary Aide used the blender without cleaning the table. Additionally, the grease traps were covered with aluminum foil that had black and brown clumps, which the Dietary Manager acknowledged needed cleaning. Clean dishes were improperly stored upright instead of inverted, which the Dietary Manager confirmed was incorrect. Further observations revealed that a bread toaster was covered in light-colored clumps or crumbs, and skillets were stored upright on the stove. The Dietary Manager explained the importance of keeping grease traps clean to prevent fires and storing dishes upside down to avoid contamination. The facility had a policy for kitchen equipment cleaning, which included routine cleaning and maintenance, but the observed practices did not align with this policy.
Call Light System Failure for a Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the call light system was functioning for a resident, leading to a deficiency identified by surveyors. During an observation and interview, the resident reported that his call light had been broken for a week, and he had informed a CNA, although he could not recall her name. When the call light button was pressed, the light behind the resident lit up, but the hallway light did not, and the call was not registered at the central call light screen. This issue was confirmed by a transporter. Further investigation revealed that the maintenance personnel had no record of the call light issue in their binder, which is used to document maintenance problems. The CNA explained the procedure for reporting maintenance issues, which involves notifying maintenance personnel and writing it in a logbook. The Administrator stated there was no specific policy for call lights, but a monthly check was standard procedure. The Administrator also mentioned alternative alert methods in case of call light failures. However, no documentation of the issue was found in the maintenance log prior to the surveyor's identification.
Failure to Provide Written Discharge Notice
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a written notice of a facility-initiated discharge for a resident who was admitted with diagnoses of traumatic brain bleed and dementia with psychotic disturbance. The resident, who had a moderate cognitive impairment, was transferred to an inpatient psychiatric facility for treatment and subsequently discharged home. The facility did not provide a written notice of discharge to the resident's representative, despite having a policy that outlines the requirements for such notifications. The deficiency was identified during an interview with the Administrator, who confirmed that the resident's representative was only verbally informed about the inability to readmit the resident due to safety concerns. The facility had provided a written transfer notification to the hospital but failed to issue a written discharge notice, as required by their policy. This oversight occurred despite the facility's policy clearly stating the need for a written notice detailing the reason for discharge, the effective date, and the location to which the resident was discharged.
