Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Springdale Health And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Improper Storage of Portable Oxygen Cylinders: Portable oxygen tanks were observed unsecured in the dining area, including one resting against a wall near the smoking area doorway and another placed on a dining table with the regulator and tubing attached. Staff interviews confirmed oxygen tanks were supposed to be removed by nursing staff and secured in a caddy, wheelchair holder, or storage rack, and facility policy stated cylinders must be stored in designated areas and secured from falling or mechanical shock.
An unlocked medication cart was left unattended near the nurse’s station while an RN was stocking it, and resident medication cards were visible in the top drawer. A resident in a wheelchair was observed nearby. The Medical Supply Storage Closet was also found ajar with scissors, antibiotic cream, wound cleanser, and vitamins accessible inside. The RN, LPN, and DON confirmed the cart and closet were supposed to be locked when unattended, and facility policy required medications and biologicals to be securely locked.
Loose handrails were observed on E Hall and C Hall, and a resident room wall had scratches in the paint beside the bed. The MD confirmed one handrail was not secured to the wall and stated there was no routine for checking handrails; maintenance logs for the prior two months had no entries for loose handrails. The Administrator said staff had access to maintenance logs to report needed repairs, and facility policy required a safe, comfortable environment.
Failure to enforce the smoking policy led to cigarette butts being found scattered in the resident smoking area, flowerpots, patio, rock beds, and near the dining room exit. Surveyors observed residents' cigarette butts on the ground despite the presence of ashtrays and an extinguishing can, and staff gave conflicting accounts of who was responsible for ground maintenance. A CNA reported that residents continued to throw cigarette butts on the ground, and the facility policy required non-combustible ashtrays with self-closing lids and smoking only in authorized areas.
The facility failed to properly date and discard open and expired food items, and did not adhere to hand hygiene protocols when handling raw and cooked food. These deficiencies in food storage and handling practices posed a risk of foodborne illness to residents.
The facility failed to maintain resident dignity during meal assistance, as staff were observed standing over two residents with severe cognitive impairments while feeding them. This action was contrary to the principles of resident dignity, as acknowledged by the staff themselves. The facility lacked a specific policy for dining assistance, contributing to this oversight.
The facility failed to maintain a clean and safe environment for three residents, leading to deficiencies in their living conditions. A resident's bathroom had cleanliness issues and a hazardous metal strip, while another resident's room had damaged walls. A third resident's bathroom also had cleanliness issues and a dangerous metal strip. Despite some cleaning efforts, hazards remained, and maintenance acknowledged the need for repairs.
The facility failed to ensure proper infection control practices during meal service, tracheostomy care, and perineal care. A nursing assistant picked up food from the floor and assisted a resident without hand hygiene. An LPN did not follow aseptic technique during tracheostomy care, failing to clean the site or change gloves between tasks. Additionally, two nursing assistants did not use required PPE or perform hand hygiene during perineal care for a resident on enhanced barrier precautions.
Improper Storage of Portable Oxygen Cylinders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store portable oxygen cylinders properly based on two observations. On 02/09/2026 at 12:30 PM, a portable oxygen tank in the off position was observed resting against the wall to the right of the smoking area doorway in the Dining Area. The regulator was attached, the tank was filled and under pressure, and tubing was attached and looped around the tank while residents were seated at tables nearby eating lunch. On 02/11/2026 at 1:08 AM, a portable oxygen tank with regulator and tubing attached was observed resting on a dining table near the snack machine, and the gauge indicated the tank was filled. Interviews with staff on 02/11/2026 and 02/12/2026 showed that nursing staff were responsible for removing oxygen tanks from resident wheelchairs and storing them in a caddy or storage rack, and that CNAs were not to remove the tanks. Staff stated oxygen tanks should be secured in a caddy, wheelchair holder, or storage rack and should not be left propped against a wall or on a table. The DON and Administrator confirmed the expectation that oxygen be stored properly, and facility policy and in-service materials stated oxygen cylinders must be secured in designated storage areas and not left unsecured.
Unlocked Medication Cart and Supply Closet Left Accessible
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were properly stored when an unlocked medication cart was left unattended near the nurse’s station on D Hall. At 1:10 AM, RN #12 was observed pushing water pitchers down D Hall with her back to the nurse’s station, where the medication cart was left unlocked and unattended. At 1:33 AM, RN #12 was in the nurse’s station talking with LPN #13 while the unlocked cart remained unattended, and a resident in a wheelchair was seen on D Hall near the cart. When the surveyor opened the top drawer, resident medication cards were visible. RN #12 stated she had been stocking the cart and forgot to lock it, and said the cart was supposed to be locked when unattended so residents could not get into it. The surveyor also observed the Medical Supply Storage Closet door ajar at 1:35 AM. Inside were scissors resting on top of an open medication cart, two containers of antibiotic cream in an open drawer, wound cleanser, and a bottle of vitamins on open shelving. RN #12 stated the closet was for the treatment nurse and anyone that needed supplies, while RN #12 and LPN #13 both confirmed the door was supposed to be locked and residents were not allowed access. The DON stated staff were expected to lock the medication cart and storage closet when unattended, and the facility policy required medications and biologicals to be stored securely locked.
Loose Corridor Handrails and Damaged Resident Room Wall
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe and functional environment by not ensuring corridor handrails were firmly secured and by not maintaining a resident room wall in good repair. On 02/10/2026, a surveyor observed the handrail outside a room on E Hall was not secured to the wall. During an interview on 02/11/2026, the Maintenance Director confirmed the handrail was loose on E Hall and stated a resident pulling or propping on the rail could result in injury. The Maintenance Director also stated there was no routine for checking handrails. During another interview, the Maintenance Aide stated handrails were checked and fixed, but not all had been reached. Review of maintenance logs for the previous two months showed no entries regarding loose handrails and only one entry for a missing handrail in a common area. On 02/12/2026, a surveyor observed a loose handrail on the left side of C Hall. In addition, one observed bedroom occupied by Resident #19 had scratches in the paint on the left side of the wall beside the bed. The Administrator stated being unaware of any loose handrails in the facility and said staff had access to maintenance logs to report items in need of repair. Facility policy stated the physical layout must maximize resident independence and not pose a safety risk.
Failure to Enforce Smoking Policy and Maintain Smoking Areas
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its smoking policy and failed to ensure a safe, functional, and sanitary environment. Survey observations found cigarette butts scattered across the rock beds along the north side of the building and behind the west side of the dining room outside the building. Additional observations in the resident smoking area found cigarette butts on the ground, in flowerpots, and across the concrete patio, even though the patio had proper lid-closing ashtrays and a red metal extinguishing can. Cigarette butts were also observed in the rock bed adjacent to the dining room exit door. During interviews, the Maintenance Director, Housekeeping Supervisor, Floor Technician, and Administrator gave conflicting accounts of who was responsible for ground maintenance. The Administrator acknowledged the conflicting reports from staff after being informed of the widespread presence of cigarette butts at the front of the facility, the north side rock beds, the staff smoking area, and the resident smoking area. A CNA stated that residents throw cigarettes on the ground and reported attempting to assist residents with ashtrays while smoking, but the residents continued to throw cigarette butts on the ground. The facility policy titled Smoking stated that ashtrays must be non-combustible and prevent butts from falling out, containers must have self-closing lids, and smoking is permitted only in authorized areas.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Hand Hygiene Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to proper food storage and handling procedures, as observed during a survey. Open food items in the refrigerator were not dated, and spoiled fruit was not promptly discarded. Additionally, a beverage labeled with a staff member's name was improperly stored in the walk-in refrigerator, and expired food items were not removed by their expiration date, posing a risk of being served to residents. These actions were contrary to the facility's dietary service policy, which mandates that open food items should be covered, labeled, and dated to prevent foodborne illnesses. Furthermore, the facility did not follow sanitary procedures, particularly hand hygiene, when handling raw and cooked food. An observation revealed that a dietary staff member cracked raw eggs and then handled cooked food without washing hands, leading to potential cross-contamination. The dietary manager acknowledged the breach in protocol, noting the danger of cross-contamination and the risk of spreading bacteria such as salmonella. This lack of adherence to hand hygiene guidelines was a significant deficiency in the facility's infection prevention practices.
Failure to Maintain Resident Dignity During Meal Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that staff provided dining assistance to residents in a manner that respected their dignity. During meal service, two residents, both with severe cognitive impairments, were observed being assisted by staff who stood over them while feeding. This action was contrary to the principles of resident dignity, as it made the residents feel inferior and disrespected. The facility did not have a specific policy for dining assistance, which contributed to this oversight. Resident #12, diagnosed with frontal neurocognitive disorder and other conditions, required partial to moderate assistance with eating. Similarly, Resident #60, with a history of myocardial infarction and dementia, required setup or clean-up assistance during meals. Despite these needs, staff members were observed standing over the residents while assisting them with meals, which was acknowledged by the staff themselves as disrespectful. Interviews with staff confirmed that proper dining assistance should involve being at the same level as the residents to maintain their dignity.
Facility Fails to Maintain Safe and Clean Environment for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and safe environment for three residents, leading to deficiencies in their living conditions. Resident #13's bathroom was observed to have cleanliness issues, including dark brown substances on the grout and door frame, and a metal transition strip with sharp edges that posed a safety hazard. The resident, who has arthritis and a history of falling, requires assistance with standing and toilet transfers, making these environmental hazards particularly concerning. Despite some cleaning efforts, the door frame's condition remained problematic. Resident #26's room had two large damaged areas on the walls with missing paint, which were present when the resident moved in. The resident is cognitively intact, as indicated by a BIMS score of 14. In Resident #51's room, similar cleanliness issues were noted, with a dark brown substance in the bathroom grout and a protruding metal transition strip with sharp edges. The resident, who has severe cognitive impairment and requires assistance with toileting, had previously reported these issues to maintenance. The Maintenance Director acknowledged the hazards, noting that the strip should be flat to the ground and the door frame might need replacement.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Meal Service and Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper infection prevention and control practices during meal service, tracheostomy care, and perineal care. During meal service, a nursing assistant was observed picking up food from the floor and placing it on a resident's napkin without performing hand hygiene. The same nursing assistant also touched his face and mouth without sanitizing his hands before assisting the resident with a beverage. This occurred despite the facility's policy requiring hand hygiene after touching unsanitary surfaces or one's face. In another incident, a licensed practical nurse failed to follow aseptic technique during tracheostomy care for a resident. The nurse did not clean the tracheostomy site or change gloves between handling soiled and clean items, which is contrary to the facility's policy on tracheostomy care. The nurse admitted to not sanitizing or changing gloves, which could lead to contamination and infection. Additionally, during perineal care for a resident on enhanced barrier precautions, two nursing assistants did not use the required personal protective equipment, such as gowns, and failed to perform hand hygiene or change gloves between dirty and clean tasks. This was against the facility's policy for enhanced barrier precautions, which mandates the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact care activities to prevent infection.
