Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Christian Care Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Inaccurate PBJ Staffing Data Submission: The facility failed to submit complete and accurate PBJ staffing data, with RN hours and 24-hour licensed nursing coverage omitted from multiple quarters despite employee time cards showing RN coverage and continuous licensed nursing coverage on those dates. During interview, the Administrator stated the staffing data contained errors, including not including agency staff, and acknowledged the inaccurate submissions.
Expired food items were found in shared kitchen storage, including peanuts in dry storage and multiple prepared foods in the walk-in refrigerator with past expiration or used-by dates. The Kitchen Manager, Executive Chef Director, and a cook stated that leftover foods should be labeled, dated, stored properly, and discarded when expired, and the DON stated that food should be prepared according to food safety guidelines.
Arbitration Agreement Lacked Neutral Arbitrator and Venue Terms. The facility’s pre-dispute arbitration agreement did not state that the resident and facility would agree on a neutral arbitrator or on a venue. Staff who reviewed the form with residents could not explain the National Arbitration Forum’s role, and leadership acknowledged the venue was not included in the agreement. A resident with dementia and other diagnoses was involved, and the MDS showed moderate cognitive impairment.
The facility failed to prevent expired food items from being available for resident use, risking potential foodborne illness. The administrator noted that the kitchen was not in use, and food was sourced from a neighboring facility. An inspection revealed expired orange juice and undated peanut butter sandwich crackers in the dining room refrigerator. The administrator admitted that dietary aides had not removed expired items, contrary to the facility's food storage policy.
Inaccurate PBJ Staffing Data Submission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to electronically submit complete and accurate PBJ staffing information based on payroll and other verifiable and auditable data. Review of PBJ FY Quarter 2 2024 showed no RN hours reported on January 1, 2, 3, 9, 13, 14, March 20, and March 31, 2024, and no licensed nursing coverage for 24 hours a day on multiple dates in January, February, and March 2024. However, review of employee time cards showed RN coverage for 12 hours on the dates when no RN hours were reported, and showed licensed nursing coverage for 24 hours a day on the dates when 24-hour coverage was not reported. Review of PBJ FY Quarter 1 2025 showed no RN hours reported on October 2, November 15, 18, 20, and December 29, 2024, and no licensed nursing coverage for 24 hours a day on several dates in October, November, and December 2024. Employee time cards showed RN coverage for 12 hours on the dates when no RN hours were reported, and showed licensed nursing coverage for 24 hours a day on the dates when 24-hour coverage was not reported. Review of PBJ FY Quarter 2 2025 showed no licensed nursing coverage for 24 hours a day on January 1, 11, 18, February 16, and March 16 and 30, 2025, while employee time cards showed RN coverage for 12 hours on those dates. During interviews, the Administrator stated the facility had errors in the staffing data submitted, including not including agency staff, and acknowledged that the facility had reported inaccurate staffing information.
Expired Food Found in Shared Kitchen Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food items were not expired. During an initial kitchen observation with the Kitchen Manager, expired food was found in both dry storage and the walk-in refrigerator. In dry storage, two bags of Sysco Classic Peanuts were observed with an expiration date of July 31, 2025. In the refrigerator, red tomato sauce, a white dessert, dry oats, and teriyaki sauce were stored in metal containers with used-by dates ranging from August 10, 2025 to August 22, 2025. Interviews with kitchen and nursing staff showed that leftover foods were expected to be labeled, dated, stored properly, and used within 5 to 7 days, and that expired food should have been discarded. The Executive Chef Director stated that the kitchen inventory and food storage were shared by assisted living, skilled, and short-term memory care units, and that staff were expected to inspect dry storage and refrigerator items daily and discard expired food. The facility policy also stated that leftover food must be clearly labeled and dated, used within 7 days or discarded, and routinely monitored so foods are consumed by their safe use-by dates or discarded.
Arbitration Agreement Lacked Neutral Arbitrator and Venue Terms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that its binding arbitration agreement provided for the selection of a neutral arbitrator agreed upon by both the resident and the facility, and failed to include a venue agreed upon by both parties. Review of the facility’s Pre-Dispute Voluntary Binding Arbitration Agreement did not show language stating that the resident and facility were to agree on a neutral arbitrator or on a venue, although the agreement did include a signature page with the staff member’s signature and title indicating the agreement was explained to the resident. Resident #12 was admitted with diagnoses including seizure disorder, vascular dementia, and cirrhosis of the liver. The MDS showed a brief interview for mental status score of 9, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. During interviews, the Administrative Assistant stated she reviewed the arbitration agreement by reading each section and asking questions, but she did not know that the arbitrator needed to be a neutral party agreed upon by both parties and did not tell residents that both parties were to agree on a venue. The Administrator and HUD Department Manager also reviewed the agreement and stated they did not know the role of the National Arbitration Forum or how a venue was chosen, and acknowledged that the venue was not mentioned in the agreement.
Expired Food Items Available for Resident Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that expired food items were not readily available for resident use in the dining room refrigerator, which could result in potential foodborne illness. During an interview, the administrator revealed that the kitchen had not been in use since a certain date, and food was brought from a neighboring assisted living facility, considered their satellite kitchen. The administrator stated that drinks or snacks requested outside of regular meal times were available to residents from the dining room refrigerator. An observation of the refrigerator revealed five cartons of orange juice with expired dates and twelve peanut butter sandwich crackers without any expiration date or indication of freshness. The administrator acknowledged that the dietary aides had not removed the expired juices and that the peanut butter sandwich crackers lacked use-by dates, posing a risk of illness to residents consuming expired items. The facility's policy on food storage required all foods to be covered, labeled, dated, and routinely monitored to ensure consumption by their safe use-by dates or proper disposal.
