Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Woodruff County Health Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure that the call light was kept within reach for a resident who is blind and has a history of falls. Multiple observations revealed that the call light was not accessible, and interviews with staff confirmed that it should have been within reach at all times, as per the facility's policy.
The facility failed to assist a resident with dementia in maintaining good hygiene and grooming, as evidenced by the resident's long, dirty, and chipped fingernails. Despite staff acknowledging the issue, no action was taken over several days to address it.
A resident with type 2 diabetes, gout, and peripheral venous insufficiency was observed to have thick, yellow, and ingrown toenails, as well as cracked and peeling skin on both feet. Despite a physician's order for podiatry consults as needed, no consult was arranged, and staff acknowledged the poor state of the resident's toenails and the potential risks of inadequate foot care.
A chemical container was found on a linen cart within reach of residents, posing a potential hazard. Both a CNA and an LPN confirmed that chemicals should not be stored in such accessible locations due to the risk of harm to residents.
The facility failed to ensure pureed food was processed to the correct consistency for four residents with a physician's order for a pureed diet. Observations revealed that the food was too thin and watery, making it difficult for residents to feed themselves. The Dietary Manager and CNA confirmed the improper preparation, and the Administrator could not provide a relevant policy.
The facility failed to accurately complete the MDS for a resident. The resident was observed using a chair alarm, which was not documented in the MDS. Interviews with staff confirmed the use of the chair alarm, and the MDS Coordinator acknowledged the inaccuracy.
The facility failed to update a resident's care plan to include the use of a chair alarm, despite observations and staff confirmations that the alarm was in use. This oversight was not in compliance with the facility's policies on resident assessment and care plan revisions.
A facility failed to ensure proper placement of a catheter bag for a resident with multiple diagnoses, leading to potential health risks. The catheter bag was observed hanging above the bladder, contrary to the care plan and facility policy, which required it to be positioned lower to prevent backflow and infections.
An open drink container was left on a covered linen cart in the 500 Hall, posing an infection risk to residents. A CNA and the Infection Preventionist confirmed that this was against infection control policies.
Failure to Ensure Call Light Accessibility for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the call light was kept within reach for Resident #23, who has a history of falls and is blind. The resident's care plan, dated 09/07/2022, specified that the call light should be at the resident's side at all times. However, multiple observations by the surveyor on different dates revealed that the call light was not within reach. On one occasion, the call light was hooked to the bed with a bedside table in between, and on another occasion, it was tethered to the bed while the resident was across the room near the heat/air unit/window. The resident was observed trying to reach for the call light but was unable to do so due to vision impairment and the distance from the call light. Interviews with the resident, an LPN, and a CNA confirmed that the call light should be within reach at all times, especially given the resident's history of falls caused by getting up on their own. The facility's policy on call lights, which was provided to the surveyor, also stated that the call light should be accessible to residents at all times, including while in bed or other sleeping accommodations, and in toilet and bath or shower facilities. Despite this policy, the staff failed to ensure the call light was within reach for Resident #23, leading to a deficiency in care.
Failure to Maintain Resident Hygiene and Grooming
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents requiring assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) were provided with the necessary help to maintain good hygiene and grooming. Specifically, Resident #85, who has a diagnosis of dementia and severe cognitive impairment, was observed with long, thick, yellowing, chipped fingernails with a dark brown substance underneath. Despite the resident expressing willingness to have their nails trimmed and cleaned, no action was taken by the staff over the course of several days to address the issue. On multiple occasions, the surveyor observed that Resident #85's nails remained untrimmed and dirty. Both a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) acknowledged the poor condition of the resident's nails and the potential risks, such as scratching themselves or others and causing infections. The facility's policy on nail care, which aims to clean the nail bed, keep nails trimmed, and prevent infections, was not followed in this instance.
Failure to Provide Adequate Foot Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident requiring assistance with foot care received the necessary care to maintain good hygiene and grooming. Resident #74, who had diagnoses of type 2 diabetes mellitus, gout, and peripheral venous insufficiency, was observed to have thick, yellow, and ingrown toenails, as well as cracked and peeling skin on both feet. Despite having a physician's order for podiatry consults as needed, no such consult had been arranged for the resident. The resident's condition was noted during multiple observations by the surveyor, and both the LPN and CNA confirmed the poor state of the resident's toenails and the potential risks associated with inadequate foot care, such as infections and pressure sores. The facility's policy on the care of fingernails and toenails emphasizes the importance of keeping nails trimmed and clean to prevent infections and other complications. However, the staff failed to follow these guidelines, as evidenced by the resident's neglected foot condition. The LPN and CNA both acknowledged the resident's need for foot care and the potential consequences of neglect, yet no action was taken to address the issue. This deficiency highlights a lapse in the facility's adherence to its own policies and procedures regarding foot care for residents.
Chemical Hazard in Resident Area
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a chemical was not left within the reach of residents on the 500 Hall. On 05/30/2024 at 9:00 AM, a Surveyor observed a container of Micro-Kill One Germicidal Alcohol Wipes on the second shelf of a linen cart, which was at waist level and accessible to residents and staff. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) #3 confirmed that chemicals should not be stored on the linen cart, acknowledging that residents could access and potentially misuse them. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #6 also confirmed that storing chemicals on the linen cart was dangerous for residents, as it could lead to harm. The label on the wipes explicitly stated to keep them out of reach of children, indicating the potential risk involved.
Improper Pureed Food Consistency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that pureed food was processed to the correct consistency for four residents who had a physician's order for a pureed diet. On multiple occasions, Dietary Aide #11 was observed preparing pureed food incorrectly. For instance, buttermilk pies were blended with an unmeasured amount of milk, resulting in a mixture that was too thin. Similarly, baked beans and boiled chicken were processed in a manner that left them watery and unable to hold their shape. Certified Nursing Assistant #9 confirmed that the pureed food was too thin for residents to feed themselves, as it would not stay on the spoon. The Dietary Manager described the pureed lunch meal as sloppy and acknowledged that the baked beans were likely pureed incorrectly. The manager also noted that improperly pureed food could cause difficulty in swallowing. When asked, the Administrator could not provide a policy concerning pureed diets, indicating a lack of proper guidelines for preparing pureed food. This deficiency in food preparation was observed to directly impact the residents' ability to consume their meals safely and independently.
Inaccurate MDS Documentation for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete an accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) for one resident. The surveyor observed the resident using a chair alarm, which was not documented in the resident's Quarterly MDS. Interviews with a CNA and an LPN confirmed the use of the chair alarm for the resident. The MDS Coordinator also confirmed that the MDS should have documented the chair alarm but did not, making the MDS inaccurate. The facility's policy requires a comprehensive assessment of each resident's needs, which was not followed in this case.
Failure to Update Care Plan for Chair Alarm
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's individualized plan of care was revised to reflect the current needs of the resident, specifically the use of a chair alarm. On 05/28/2024, the surveyor observed Resident #48 sitting in a specialized chair with a fall alarm attached, but a review of the resident's care plan dated 07/31/2023 did not include the chair alarm. Additionally, the resident's order history did not reveal an order for a chair alarm. Interviews with a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed that the resident uses a chair alarm due to leaning forward in the specialized chair, but it was not included in the care plan. The MDS Coordinator also confirmed that the resident was not care planned for a chair alarm but should have been to ensure staff knew how to care for the resident. The facility's policy on Resident Assessment and Comprehensive Care Plans, both with a copyright date of 2023, require that the comprehensive care plan be reviewed and revised by the interdisciplinary team after each comprehensive and quarterly MDS assessment. The failure to update the care plan to include the chair alarm represents a deficiency in the facility's compliance with its own policies and regulatory requirements.
Improper Placement of Catheter Bag
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper placement of a catheter bag for a resident with multiple diagnoses, including neuromuscular dysfunction of the bladder and chronic kidney disease. The resident's care plan specified that the catheter bag should be positioned below the bladder. However, during an observation, the catheter bag was found hanging above the bladder on the back of a geriatric chair, with the tubing running over the armrest. This improper placement was confirmed by both a CNA and an LPN, who acknowledged that the catheter bag should be positioned lower to prevent health issues such as backflow and infections. Further investigation revealed that the catheter bags used in the facility had an anti-reflux tower but did not have an anti-reflux valve in the tubing to prevent backflow into the bladder. The facility's policy on catheter care emphasized the importance of maintaining unobstructed urine flow by positioning the drainage bag lower than the bladder at all times. Despite this policy, the improper placement of the catheter bag for the resident was observed, indicating a failure to adhere to the established guidelines for catheter care.
Open Drink Container Left on Linen Cart
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure an open drink was not left within the reach of the residents on the 500 Hall. On 05/30/2024 at 9:00 AM, a Surveyor observed a covered linen cart on the 500 Hall with an open drink in an aluminum can on the top shelf. Residents and staff were seen passing by the linen cart. At 9:30 AM, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) confirmed that an opened drink container should not be on the linen cart as it posed a risk to residents. The CNA then removed the half-full container. Later, at 1:45 PM, the Infection Preventionist also confirmed that leaving an open drink container on the linen cart was an infection risk to the residents. The facility's infection control policy states that infection control practices are intended to maintain a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent and manage the transmission of diseases and infections.
