Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Desert Regional Medical Center D/p Snf during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Unlabeled and undated food items were found in the walk-in refrigerator, portable walk-in freezer, and resident nourishment refrigerator. The DSS identified the items as liquid eggs and cheesecake that had been removed from their boxes, and a CNA found a covered plate with two halved sandwiches stored for residents' use without a label or date. The RD and DON stated food stored in these areas was expected to be labeled with the item name and use-by dates.
Improper disposal of garbage and refuse was observed in front of the dumpster storage area when wood scraps, pallets, and cardboard were found on the ground and around the dumpster compactor machine. The DSS, RD, and DON stated the area should be kept clean and free of debris, and that the items could attract pests and cause infection control issues.
Advance directive documentation and follow-up were incomplete for several residents. One resident reported wanting more information, but his AD was not accessible in the chart, and multiple cognitively intact residents with varying diagnoses, including cognitive impairment, dementia, and PTSD, had no documented follow-up or education with them or their RP about formulating an AD. The DON stated nurses were responsible for reviewing admission packets, verifying AD status, requesting copies when available, and involving SSD when no AD existed, but the records reviewed did not show the expected documentation.
Failure to follow physician-ordered fluid restrictions for two residents. One resident with AKI and hyponatremia had a 1,200 ml/day restriction but repeatedly exceeded it, with staff aware of the order and a fluid restriction sign posted. Another resident with CHF had a 1,500 ml/day restriction but also exceeded the limit on consecutive days. CNAs, an LVN, RN, and the DON all acknowledged the intake overages and that staff were expected to follow the orders.
RN 5 did not follow safe med administration practices for three residents. One resident’s citalopram tablet was split by hand instead of with the ordered pill cutter, another resident was left before finishing a Healthylax solution, and a third resident received losartan under an order with hold parameters tied to SBP and K+ even though K+ was not checked daily and the order was not clarified. The DON and pharmacist acknowledged issues with the administration and the unclear losartan parameter.
Food was not consistently palatable, attractive, or served at an appetizing temperature for several residents. Residents described chicken and meat entrees as dry, rubbery, tough, bland, and lacking taste, and an RD observed a test tray with baked chicken that was bland, dry, and gritty. The RD stated the chicken was overcooked and lacked seasoning, while facility policy required food to be prepared using standardized recipes and served at the correct temperature so it would be attractive and tasty.
Failure to care plan a physician-ordered fluid restriction for a resident with CHF. The resident had a 1500 ml/24-hour fluid restriction ordered, and a sign was posted outside the room, but an LVN stated no care plan had been initiated for the restriction. The DON stated licensed nurses are expected to care plan received orders for continuity of care, and the facility policy says the plan of care is initiated on admission and includes physician orders.
Missed Annual TB Screening for Staff: The facility failed to follow its annual health review policy for two staff members by not documenting timely TB screening, including one RN who also did not complete the required second step of a two-step TB test. HR and DON stated the staff were allowed to continue working despite the missed screenings, and the policy required yearly TB testing with further HR action for noncompliance.
A resident with a fungal infection was transferred to the ED due to agitation and confusion, but the facility failed to notify the resident's representative as required by policy. The DON confirmed that staff should have informed the representative and documented the notification, but RN 1 admitted to forgetting to do so.
The facility failed to provide dementia training to a CNA hired in early 2024, as discovered during an unannounced visit investigating abuse allegations. The CNA's personnel file lacked documentation of the required training, which was confirmed by the Regulatory Manager and Assistant Director of Nursing. The facility's policy mandates dementia-specific training for all CNAs, which was not adhered to in this case.
The facility experienced several sanitation and food safety issues in the kitchen area, including rodent droppings and nesting evidence in the cooking line, grease and grime accumulation on kitchen equipment, and cross-contamination of raw meats in the walk-in refrigerator. Additionally, missing drawers under food prep tables led to food crumbs accumulation, and uncovered frozen food items were found in the freezer. A staff member handling ready-to-eat food did not practice proper hand hygiene. These conditions posed a risk of foodborne illness, particularly for medically compromised residents.
The facility failed to meet the nutritional needs of 15 out of 16 residents by not following the established menu for lunch, serving significantly smaller portions than required. Additionally, a resident reported receiving incorrect portions and experiencing delays in meal service.
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, resulting in rodent droppings and evidence of nesting in the kitchen. Recommendations from the pest control company were not implemented, and gaps in doors and damaged walls provided entry points for rodents. The facility's policy on pest control was not followed.
The facility failed to ensure proper infection control practices were followed by two employees. RN 2 and CNA 1 were observed not performing hand hygiene before donning gloves, after removing gloves, and between providing care to different residents. Both employees admitted to not following the hand hygiene protocol, which was confirmed by the Infection Preventionist.
The facility failed to maintain essential kitchen equipment, with multiple pieces out of service and not being clean or maintained. Observations revealed rust, food grime, rodent droppings, and missing drawers. Interviews indicated a lack of a current plan for repairs and communication issues causing delays.
The facility failed to act on a pharmacist's recommendation to reduce the number of anticoagulants for a resident with peripheral vascular disease and heart failure. The physician did not document a rationale for not considering monotherapy, and the facility's policy for medication regimen review was not followed.
The facility failed to designate a qualified DFANS, resulting in unsanitary kitchen conditions and Immediate Jeopardy due to the presence of pests. The CNM, although a Registered Dietician, was not typically responsible for managing the kitchen full-time. Both the DFANS and Executive Chef were not qualified food service managers and were in the process of becoming CDMs.
Unlabeled and Undated Food Items Stored in Refrigerator, Freezer, and Nourishment Refrigerator
Penalty
Summary
Safe and sanitary food preparation and storage practices were not maintained in the kitchen and nourishment area. During observation with the Dietary Services Supervisor (DSS), a bag containing yellow and orange liquid was found in the walk-in refrigerator unlabeled and undated; the DSS identified it as liquid eggs that had been removed from its box and confirmed it did not have a label or date. In the portable walk-in freezer, a package of small, round, brown dessert items was also observed unlabeled and undated; the DSS identified the item as cheesecake that had been removed from its box and stated it should have had a label with a received and/or use-by date. In the resident nourishment refrigerator, a plate with two halved sandwiches was observed covered but unlabeled and undated. A CNA stated the refrigerator was used for residents' snacks, drinks, and outside food brought in by family, and stated the sandwich should have been labeled and dated. The RD and DON both stated that items stored in the refrigerator and nourishment refrigerator were expected to be labeled with the appropriate name and use-by dates, and the DON stated that without proper labeling there was potential for food borne illness if expired or unsafe food was served to residents. Facility policies titled Food and Supply Storage and Food from outside Sources also stated that food items should be labeled, dated, covered, and stored appropriately.
Improper Disposal of Garbage and Refuse
Penalty
Summary
Improper disposal of garbage and refuse was identified in the area in front of the dumpster storage area when multiple debris items, including wood scraps, pallets, and cardboard, were observed on the ground and around the dumpster compactor machine. During the observation and interview, the Dietary Services Supervisor stated there should not be any debris, wood scraps, pallets, or cardboard on the ground in that area and acknowledged that these items could attract pests and cause infection control issues. During later interviews, the Registered Dietitian stated the dumpster compactor machine area should be kept clean and inspected daily to ensure no garbage, wood scraps, or cardboard boxes were left on the ground, and that this could result in pest infestation and infection control issues. The Director of Nursing also stated the dumpster compactor machine area should be kept clean and free of garbage, wood scraps, and cardboard boxes to prevent potential pest infestation and infection control issues.
Advance Directive Documentation and Follow-Up Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that advance directives were accessible in the chart for one resident and failed to follow up with several residents and/or their resident representatives regarding the formulation of advance directives. Resident 5 stated he could not recall receiving information about advance directives and wanted more information. His admission history indicated he had an advance directive, but the record did not contain a copy that was accessible in his chart, and there was no documented follow-up with him or his representative regarding the document. For Resident 10, the admission history indicated he did not have an advance directive, and the record did not show that he or his representative received follow-up information or education about the right to formulate one. Resident 29 stated she was unsure whether she had an advance directive or had been given information about it; her admission history also indicated she did not have one, and there was no documented follow-up with her or her representative. Resident 1 stated he did not remember being offered the opportunity to formulate an advance directive and was unsure whether he wanted one at that time; his admission history indicated he did not have an advance directive, and there was no documented weekly follow-up regarding advance directives. Resident 32’s records showed an admission history indicating no advance directive, and there was no documented weekly follow-up with the resident or representative regarding advance directives. Resident 39’s admission history also indicated no advance directive, and there was no documented weekly follow-up or education provided to the resident or representative. The DON stated licensed nurses were responsible for reviewing the admission packet, verifying whether a resident had an advance directive, requesting a copy if one existed, and, if none existed, initiating follow-up through Social Services; the DON also stated that the records reviewed did not contain the expected documentation.
Failure to Follow Ordered Fluid Restrictions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure physician-ordered fluid restrictions were followed for two residents. Resident 29 was admitted with acute kidney injury and hyponatremia and had an order dated July 23, 2025, for a 1,200 ml fluid restriction per 24 hours. The care plan identified fluid maintenance problems related to electrolyte imbalance and fluid restriction, with interventions to record intake and output and ensure nursing staff were aware of the restriction. Resident 29's oral intake flowsheet showed multiple days when intake exceeded the ordered limit, including 1,580 ml, 1,400 ml, 1,600 ml, 1,880 ml, 1,340 ml, 1,410 ml, 1,540 ml, 2,100 ml, and 1,320 ml. During observations, a fluid restriction sign was posted outside the room, and a water pitcher was present at the bedside. Staff interviews showed CNA 1 and CNA 2 were aware of the restriction and described how they handled pitchers and intake recording, while RN 1 and the DON verified the intake exceeded the ordered amount and stated staff were expected to measure and account for total intake and report as needed. Resident 40 was admitted with congestive heart failure and had an order for a 1,500 ml fluid restriction per 24 hours. Oral intake records showed 2,200 ml on one day and 2,460 ml on the next. A sign outside the room indicated the fluid restriction, and the resident stated he was on restriction due to difficulty breathing. CNA 4, LVN 1, and the DON all acknowledged the resident exceeded the ordered fluid limit and stated staff should have followed the physician's orders.
Unsafe Medication Administration and Unclear Losartan Hold Parameters
Penalty
Summary
Safe medication administration practices were not followed when RN 5 prepared citalopram 20 mg for Resident 10 by breaking the tablet in half with gloved hands instead of using the pill cutter that had been ordered for that resident. Resident 10 was admitted with diagnoses including hip fracture and other fractures of the left thigh bone, and the physician order specified citalopram 20 mg, 1/2 tablet daily for depression. The medication administration record showed the 10 mg dose was given daily, and RN 5 later acknowledged the tablet should have been cut with the pill cutter, while the DON also stated the tablet should have been cut in half using the pill cutter. Safe administration was also not maintained for Resident 42 when RN 5 mixed Healthylax 17 gram powder with water and gave it to the resident, but left the room before the resident finished consuming the solution. Resident 42 was admitted with diagnoses including rib fracture, and the physician order directed daily Healthylax to prevent constipation. During the medication pass, the resident was observed taking the solution by straw and placing the cup on the bedside tray, with about half of the cup still full after RN 5 left the room. RN 5 acknowledged leaving before the medication was fully taken, and both another nurse and the DON stated the solution should have been fully consumed before leaving the room. For Resident 32, losartan 50 mg was administered daily under an order that included holding the dose if systolic blood pressure was less than 120 or if potassium level was greater than 5, but the potassium level was not obtained daily and there was no clarification of the order. Resident 32 was admitted with diagnoses including elevated CK level and troponin level, and the record showed blood pressure was documented daily while potassium was only documented on August 5 and August 18, 2025. The MAR showed losartan was given daily except once for low SBP, and the pharmacist stated the potassium parameter was not expected to be ordered daily in a nursing home and would not question or clarify the order, while the DON stated the order should have been clarified.
Food Not Served in a Palatable or Appetizing Manner
Penalty
Summary
Food and drink were not consistently palatable, attractive, or served at an appetizing temperature for four sampled residents. During interviews on August 18, 2025, Resident 41 stated that the chicken was "like leather," Resident 40 stated the chicken was dry and tough to chew, Resident 10 stated that meat entrees tasted dry and rubbery, and Resident 23 stated that the food was hit or miss, had no taste, and had a mushy texture. During a concurrent observation and interview on August 20, 2025, the Registered Dietitian evaluated a test tray of pork loin on a pureed diet and baked chicken on a regular diet and observed the chicken to be bland, dry, and gritty. The RD stated the chicken was dry, overcooked, and lacked seasoning, and stated dietary staff were expected to follow standardized recipes and maintain proper temperature hold times so food would be flavorful and not dry or overcooked. The facility policy stated food items were to be prepared according to standardized recipes or instructions and served at the correct temperature so they were attractive and tasty.
Failure to Care Plan Physician-Ordered Fluid Restriction
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive, person-centered care plan to address Resident 40’s physician-ordered fluid restriction. Resident 40 was admitted on August 14, 2025, and his History and Physical dated August 16, 2025, documented systolic congestive heart failure. His Active Order Profile included an order dated August 14, 2025, for a fluid restriction of 1500 ml per 24 hours, and a sign reflecting that restriction was observed posted outside his room on August 19, 2025. During an interview, Resident 40 stated he was placed on fluid restriction due to difficulty breathing. On August 20, 2025, LVN 1 stated Resident 40 had a history of congestive heart failure and that the 1500 ml fluid restriction had been ordered on August 14, 2025. LVN 1 also stated licensed nurses are responsible for initiating care plans and that no care plan had been initiated for fluid restriction. On August 21, 2025, the DON stated the expectation was that when a licensed nurse received an order, it should be care planned for continuity of care. The facility policy titled DES SNF - PATIENT CARE PLAN, dated January 23, 2025, stated the plan of care is initiated upon admission and includes physician orders.
Missed Annual TB Screening for Staff
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow its policy and procedure for annual TB screening for two of eight staff members reviewed. During employee file review on August 21, 2025, no documentation was found showing that CNA 4 completed the annual TB screening in 2022, and no documentation was found showing that RN 2 completed the annual TB screening in 2024. In a concurrent interview and record review, the Senior Human Resources Generalist stated both staff members did not complete their annual TB screenings timely and that there was no email communication for CNA 4 in 2022 or RN 2 in 2024 regarding the missed screenings. The record review and interviews also showed that RN 2 was required to complete a two-step TB test because the annual screening had not been completed in 2024, but the second step scheduled for January 29, 2025 was not completed. RN 2 stated he did not complete the annual TB screening in 2024 and was not aware he was required to complete the second step in January 2025. The facility policy titled DES HR 46 ANNUAL HEALTH REVIEW stated TB testing must be completed yearly within the month of hire, and if employees were not complete by the end of the month of hire, a report would be sent to HR for further action; if still non-compliant at 60 days, the matter would be referred for appropriate action, which may include suspension until completed or termination.
Failure to Notify Resident's Representative of ED Transfer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident's representative of a transfer to the Emergency Department (ED) for further evaluation of agitation. This deficiency involved a resident who was admitted with a diagnosis of resistive organism fungemia. On the day of the incident, the resident was combative, agitated, and confused, leading to a decision to transfer them to the ED. However, the assigned nurse, RN 1, did not notify the resident's appointed representative about the transfer, despite the resident's inability to communicate due to their condition. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the facility's policy required staff to notify the resident's representative in such situations and to document the notification in the resident's medical record. The review of the resident's medical records revealed no documentation of the notification, and RN 1 admitted to forgetting to inform the representative. The facility's policy on resident rights emphasized the importance of notifying a resident's representative in cases of transfer or discharge, especially when the resident is unable to do so themselves.
Failure to Provide Dementia Training to CNA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that dementia training was provided to a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), identified as CNA 1, who was hired on January 29, 2024. This deficiency was discovered during an unannounced visit on August 1, 2024, which was conducted to investigate an allegation of abuse. Upon reviewing CNA 1's personnel file, it was found that there was no documentation indicating that CNA 1 had received the required dementia training. This lack of training was confirmed during a concurrent interview with the Regulatory Manager (RM), who acknowledged that CNA 1 had not undergone the necessary dementia training, despite the facility's policy of providing such training annually to all CNAs. Further interviews with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) revealed that the facility admits residents with dementia, and it is essential for all Skilled Nursing Facility staff to have dementia training to ensure they can effectively care for and handle residents with dementia. The facility's policy, titled 'CERTIFIED NURSE ASSISTANT ORIENTATION AND IN-SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM,' dated December 21, 2023, mandates that new CNA employees receive an orientation program, which includes training on the care of cognitively impaired patients. The policy also requires no fewer than five hours of dementia-specific training every calendar year. The failure to provide this training to CNA 1 had the potential to result in staff lacking the necessary skills to manage and care for residents with dementia effectively.
Sanitation and Food Safety Deficiencies in Kitchen Area
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store, prepare, and serve food in a sanitary manner, in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. The deficiencies observed included rodent droppings and evidence of nesting in the cooking line area of the kitchen, accumulation of grease and black grime on kitchen equipment, cross-contamination of raw meats in the walk-in refrigerator, missing drawers under food prep tables with food crumbs accumulation, uncovered frozen food items in the freezer, and lack of proper hand hygiene by a staff member handling ready-to-eat food. These issues had the potential to cause foodborne illness and posed a risk to the medically compromised residents who received food from the kitchen. The observations revealed a concerning lack of cleanliness and maintenance in the kitchen area. The presence of rodent droppings, nesting evidence, and accumulation of grease and food grime on various kitchen equipment indicated a significant sanitation issue. Additionally, the cross-contamination of raw meats in the walk-in refrigerator and the presence of spilled food substances under storage risers highlighted poor food storage practices that could lead to foodborne illness. The missing drawers under food prep tables with accumulated food crumbs further emphasized the lack of attention to cleanliness and potential for microbial growth.
Failure to Meet Nutritional Needs in Meal Service
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the lunch menu served on February 27, 2024, met the nutritional needs of 15 out of 16 residents in accordance with established national guidelines. This deficiency was observed during a tray line inspection where the Associate Patient Dining Staff (APDS) was portioning out food. The APDS served 1.3 ounces of meatloaf and approximately 1/4 cup of broccoli, which was significantly less than the 3 ounces of meatloaf and one cup of broccoli indicated on the kitchen's Migrated Patient Menu for that day. This discrepancy was confirmed by the Clinical Nutrition Manager (CNM), who stated that the menu should be followed for serving sizes. Additionally, Resident 227 reported that he should receive double portions but only received one scoop of potatoes on February 26, 2024. He also mentioned that the facility sometimes messed up his order, causing him to wait 45 minutes for the missing food. This inconsistency in meal portions and delays in service could potentially affect the residents' caloric intake and nutritional status, as highlighted by Resident 227's concern about his ability to gain weight due to these issues.
Failure to Maintain Effective Pest Control Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, resulting in rodent droppings and evidence of nesting found in the cooking line. The Executive Chef confirmed the presence of a rat problem, and the Service Technician from the pest control company indicated that rodents had been an issue for a while. The technician suspected that rats might be using the sewer lines to gain access to the kitchen. Additionally, the back door of the dry storage room had a gap wide enough for rodents to enter, and a damaged wall in the drink cage was inadequately covered with tape and plastic, which would not deter rodents. The Director of Food and Nutrition Services acknowledged these issues but had not taken corrective actions. The Food and Nutrition Services Manager admitted that recommendations from the pest control company, such as patching the hole in the drink cage and cleaning up accumulated food products, were never implemented. The Clinical Nutrition Manager stated that all areas of the kitchen should be cleaned and free of old food and trash. A review of the pest control company's report showed pending recommendations to repair cracks and remove food products to prevent pest attraction. The facility's policy and procedure on pest control emphasized the need to repair holes and cracks and ensure exterior doors have minimal gaps to prevent pest entry, but these measures were not followed.
Infection Control Deficiencies Observed in Hand Hygiene and PPE Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper infection control practices were followed by two employees, leading to potential risks of infection spread among residents. RN 2 was observed on multiple occasions not performing hand hygiene before donning gloves, after removing gloves, and between providing care to different residents. RN 2 also handled items such as telephones and medical equipment without performing hand hygiene, which is against the facility's infection control policy. During an interview, RN 2 acknowledged the failure to perform hand hygiene as required by the facility's policy and procedure. Similarly, CNA 1 was observed not performing hand hygiene upon entering and exiting residents' rooms and after providing direct patient care. CNA 1 also failed to wear gloves while assisting a resident and did not perform hand hygiene after removing gloves and touching personal items. During an interview, CNA 1 admitted to not following the hand hygiene protocol. The Infection Preventionist confirmed that staff should be performing hand hygiene according to the facility's policy, which includes using alcohol-based hand gel or washing hands with soap and water before and after direct contact with patients, handling medications or food, and donning or removing gloves.
Failure to Maintain Essential Kitchen Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain essential kitchen equipment in a safe operating condition, as evidenced by multiple pieces of equipment being out of service and not being clean or maintained. During an observation in the bulk food preparation area, the double convection oven had rust and a build-up of food and yellow grime. The Executive Chef stated that only one oven was working, and due to the large volume of meals prepared, there was no time to clean it. Additionally, rodent droppings and evidence of nesting were found in the compartment between the oven and the fryer, and several other pieces of equipment, including fryers, ovens, and steamers, were not working. The Chef also noted that the tracks used to hold drawers under food prep tables had an accumulation of yellow food grime, and multiple drawers were missing in various areas of the kitchen. Interviews with the Dietary Aide and the Director of Biomedical Engineering revealed that the drawers had been missing for years and that there was no current plan for the broken equipment in the kitchen. The Director of Biomedical Engineering stated that work orders were supposed to be completed in approximately 30 days, but communication issues were causing delays. A review of the facility's policy indicated that proper maintenance of equipment was the responsibility of the Director in cooperation with the Maintenance Department, but this was not being followed. The FDA Federal Food Code also requires equipment to be maintained in a state of repair, which was not being adhered to in this case.
Failure to Act on Pharmacist's Recommendation for Anticoagulant Therapy
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the pharmacist's recommendation to reduce the number of anticoagulants from two medications to a single medication was acted upon for one of five residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. The pharmacist's recommendation, documented on February 25, 2024, suggested evaluating the feasibility of monotherapy for a resident who was prescribed both Eliquis and Aspirin. However, there was no documented evidence that the physician addressed this recommendation or provided a rationale for not reducing the number of anticoagulants. During interviews and record reviews, it was confirmed that the physician did not document the reason for not considering monotherapy, and the facility's policy and procedure for medication regimen review were not followed. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that pharmacy recommendations should be acted upon immediately by the Inter-Disciplinary Team (IDT). The failure to address the pharmacist's recommendation had the potential to result in adverse consequences related to anticoagulant therapy for the resident, who had diagnoses including peripheral vascular disease and heart failure.
Lack of Qualified DFANS Leads to Unsanitary Kitchen Conditions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to designate a qualified Director of Food and Nutrition Services (DFANS) who meets state requirements for food service managers or dietary managers. This deficiency resulted in a lack of oversight in the kitchen, leading to unsanitary conditions and the presence of pests, which triggered an Immediate Jeopardy situation. The issue had the potential to affect 15 out of 16 medically compromised residents who receive food from the kitchen. During interviews, it was revealed that the Clinical Nutrition Manager (CNM) was a Registered Dietician and the full-time qualified staff member over the kitchen, but the DFANS and the Executive Chef were not qualified food service managers and were in the process of becoming Certified Dietary Managers (CDMs). The Regional Supervisor (RS) confirmed that it was not typical for the CNM to also manage the kitchen full-time and acknowledged that there was no one currently qualified to fulfill the DFANS position. A review of job descriptions indicated that the CNM was responsible for clinical nutrition services, while the DFANS role required meeting CMS and state regulations for educational qualifications. The lack of a qualified DFANS led to unsanitary conditions in the kitchen, posing a risk to the residents' health and safety.
