Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Parkside Health And Wellness Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A dietary cook failed to use the correct amount of low sodium soy sauce when preparing teriyaki sauce, using less than specified in the standardized recipe. This action was observed and later confirmed by the dietary manager, who noted that all recipes should be followed as approved by the registered dietitian to ensure consistent food flavor and nutrition for all residents.
Two residents were not offered a clean or available table to dine with others and had to wait for seats to become available, eventually eating at a table with food debris left by previous diners. Both a CNA and the DON acknowledged that staff should have provided a clean table, in accordance with the facility's policy on dignity and respect.
A resident at high risk for pressure ulcers was left in a wheelchair for extended periods, contrary to her care plan, which required repositioning after two hours. Staff interviews and record reviews confirmed that the resident was not assisted out of the wheelchair as directed, and there was no documentation of care refusal. This failure to follow the care plan and facility policy increased the risk for pressure ulcer development.
A resident receiving continuous oxygen therapy for chronic respiratory failure and COPD was found with a nasal cannula that was not dated or labeled. Interviews with an LPN, the infection preventionist, and the DON confirmed that the tubing should be dated and changed every seven days, but the facility's policy did not specify this requirement, leading to a lapse in infection control practices.
Failure to Follow Standardized Recipe for Sauce Preparation
Penalty
Summary
A dietary cook did not follow the standardized recipe for preparing teriyaki sauce during lunch service, using 1 1/4 cups of low sodium soy sauce instead of the required 1 1/2 cups as specified for 48 residents. This deviation was observed during food preparation and confirmed in an interview with the dietary manager, who stated that all recipes approved by the registered dietitian should be followed to maintain food flavor and nutritional consistency. The facility's policy requires the use of approved, standardized recipes to meet the resident census.
Residents Not Provided Clean or Available Dining Tables
Penalty
Summary
Two residents were not offered a clean or available table to dine with other residents in the dining room. During observation, both residents were seen waiting for other residents to vacate a table before they could sit and eat. One of the residents expressed frustration about having to wait for a table to become available. When the residents finally took seats at a vacated table, the tablecloth was observed to be covered with food debris from previous diners. A certified nursing assistant (CNA) confirmed that the residents had to wait for a table and acknowledged that staff should have offered them a clean, available table upon their arrival. The Director of Nursing (DON) also stated that all residents should have a clean table at mealtime and that staff should have directed the residents to such a table. The facility's policy requires all residents to be treated with kindness, dignity, and respect.
Failure to Implement Pressure Ulcer Prevention Interventions
Penalty
Summary
A resident with diagnoses of osteoarthritis and dementia was identified as being at high risk for developing pressure ulcers, as indicated by a Braden Assessment. The resident's nursing care plan specified that she should only remain in her wheelchair with foam for a maximum of two hours at a time. However, multiple observations throughout the day revealed that the resident remained seated in her wheelchair in her bedroom for extended periods, far exceeding the two-hour limit outlined in her care plan. Interviews with facility staff, including a CNA and a licensed nurse, confirmed that the resident had not been assisted out of her wheelchair as required, and there was no documentation indicating that the resident refused care. The Director of Nursing also acknowledged that the care plan should have been implemented to prevent pressure ulcer development. The facility's policy on skin and wound monitoring emphasized the need for staff to implement and monitor interventions to prevent pressure injuries, which was not followed in this instance.
Failure to Date and Change Nasal Cannula Tubing for Oxygen Therapy
Penalty
Summary
A nasal cannula attached to an oxygen concentrator at the bedside of a resident with chronic respiratory failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was observed without a date or label. The resident's medical record indicated a need for continuous oxygen therapy. During interviews, a licensed nurse confirmed that the nasal cannula tubing was not dated and stated that it should have been labeled and connected to a humidifier. The nurse also indicated that the tubing should be changed every seven days for infection control purposes. The infection preventionist and the director of nursing both acknowledged that the nasal cannula tubing should be dated and changed every seven days, in accordance with facility guidelines. However, a review of the facility's policy and procedure for oxygen administration did not specify when oxygen tubing should be changed. The lack of labeling and absence of a clear policy contributed to the failure to ensure proper infection prevention and control practices for the resident receiving oxygen therapy.
