Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Springs Of Camden during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors observed multiple deficiencies including unsealed and expired food items in storage, improper hand hygiene by dietary staff during food preparation, and an unclean ice machine with visible residue. These issues occurred despite facility policies requiring proper food storage, handwashing, and equipment sanitation.
A resident's trust account funds were withdrawn and held in the facility's safe for several months without accruing interest, and the funds were not included in the resident's quarterly statement. The funds were not returned to an interest-bearing account in a timely manner, and the facility failed to provide proper documentation of attempts to contact the resident's POA.
A resident with diagnoses including psychotic disorder, anxiety, and depression was identified as PASRR Level II by the state, but this status was not accurately reflected in two consecutive annual MDS assessments. Both the MDS Coordinator and DON confirmed the assessments were inaccurate, as they failed to indicate the resident's PASRR Level II status despite it being documented in the care plan.
Staff failed to keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold during meal service, as food trays were placed in unheated carts with doors left open, resulting in food temperatures outside recommended ranges. Multiple residents reported receiving cold meals, and staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness about proper procedures to maintain food temperature.
Deficiencies in Food Storage, Hand Hygiene, and Ice Machine Sanitation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper food storage, handling, and sanitation practices as observed during a survey. Unsealed and uncovered food items, such as an opened bag of grits and an open box of salt, were found on a shelf above the food preparation counter. Expired food items, including a box of baking soda and a box of strawberry banana yogurts, were present in storage and the refrigerator, respectively, and were not promptly discarded. Additionally, the ice machine in the kitchen had a wet yellowish residue on the panel where ice formed, indicating it was not maintained in a clean and sanitary condition. The residue was easily wiped off and was described as dirty and rusty in color, with the ice from this machine being used for resident beverages and water pitchers. Dietary staff did not consistently follow proper hand hygiene protocols. One dietary staff member washed her hands but then turned off the faucet with her clean hands, contaminating them, and proceeded to handle bread and chicken tenders without re-washing. She also handled clean equipment, such as a blender blade, after touching potentially contaminated surfaces without washing her hands again. Facility policies required hands to be washed before working with food and equipment, as well as during food preparation and when changing tasks, and for all foods to be stored wrapped or in covered containers. These policies were not followed, leading to the deficiencies observed.
Failure to Pay Interest on Resident Trust Account Funds
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that interest was paid on a resident's trust account, affecting one resident for whom the facility maintained a trust account. The Business Office Manager (BOM) withdrew $1,025.00 from the resident's account to keep the balance below the Medicaid resource limit, but the funds were kept in the facility's safe for over three months without accruing interest. The BOM was unable to provide documentation of attempts to contact the resident's Power of Attorney (POA) after the withdrawal, and the funds were not included in the resident's quarterly statement during this period. Interviews revealed that only the BOM, Social Services Director, and Administrator had access to the safe where the money was stored. Both the BOM and Administrator confirmed that the withdrawn funds did not earn interest while in the safe, and the facility's policy required that interest be paid on resident funds. The resident's funds were not returned to an interest-bearing account in a timely manner, and the facility did not provide accurate accounting of the resident's balance during the time the funds were held in the safe.
Inaccurate MDS Assessments of PASRR Status
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the comprehensive assessments for a resident accurately reflected the individual's Pre-admission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) status. Record review showed that the annual Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments for the current and previous year did not indicate that the resident was considered by the state as PASRR Level II, despite the care plan identifying the resident as such. Both MDS assessments listed the resident as not having serious mental illness and/or intellectual disability or a related condition according to the state Level II PASRR process, which was inconsistent with the care plan and the resident's actual PASRR status. Interviews with the MDS Coordinator and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the comprehensive MDS assessments for both years were inaccurate and did not reflect the resident's PASRR Level II status, which had been determined by the state. The resident in question was cognitively intact and had active diagnoses including psychotic disorder, anxiety, and depression. The deficiency was identified through review of records and staff interviews, which established that the assessments did not accurately represent the resident's PASRR status.
Failure to Maintain Safe and Palatable Food Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that hot foods were served hot and cold foods and beverages were served cold during multiple meal services. Observations revealed that food trays were placed in unheated food carts, and the cart doors were left open while loading, which contributed to a drop in food temperatures. Temperature checks conducted immediately after meal service on several units showed that hot foods were consistently below the expected 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and cold items such as milk and pudding were above the recommended cold holding temperatures. Staff interviews confirmed a lack of awareness regarding the importance of keeping food cart doors closed to maintain proper food temperatures. Residents reported dissatisfaction with the temperature of their meals, with several stating that their food was often cold, particularly when eating in their rooms. During group interviews, some residents confirmed that their breakfasts were sometimes served cold. These resident statements were consistent with the temperature readings obtained during the survey, which documented multiple instances of both hot and cold foods being served outside of safe and appetizing temperature ranges. Staff interviews further revealed gaps in knowledge and practice. One LPN admitted to not knowing that the food cart should remain closed while loading trays, only learning this from the Dietary Manager after the fact. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the cart doors should be kept closed to retain proper temperatures and noted that unheated plates and prolonged tray loading times could further impact food temperature. These actions and inactions directly contributed to the deficiency in maintaining palatable and safe food temperatures for residents.
