Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at St Anthony Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a stage 3 pressure ulcer was discharged without a complete and understandable medication list or wound care instructions. The family did not receive clear guidance or necessary prescriptions, resulting in the resident missing prescribed wound care for six days until a home health nurse intervened. Facility records confirmed the omission of wound care instructions and lack of documented education prior to discharge.
The facility failed to ensure the removal of expired hypodermic needles from the medication storage room, as observed during an inspection with the DON. Fourteen 18-gauge needles were found with past expiration dates, contrary to the facility's policy and CDC guidelines, which require checking expiration dates and discarding expired equipment.
The facility failed to label opened food packages with dates and did not log temperatures of prepared foods served to residents on two occasions. Opened bottles of sauces and shredded coconut were not properly dated, and two residents reported receiving meals that were not served at the appropriate temperature. The facility's policies required labeling and temperature logging, which were not followed.
A facility failed to follow proper hand hygiene protocols and did not replace a full sharps container. An LVN prepared medications and touched various surfaces without re-sanitizing hands before administering medications to a resident with multiple health conditions. Additionally, a sharps container was observed to be full, contrary to policy, posing a risk of injury and infection spread.
The facility had five rooms with multiple beds that did not meet the required 80 square feet per resident. Observations showed that rooms had between 68.5 and 74.3 square feet per bed. Despite this, care provision was not hindered, and residents had adequate personal space and privacy, with no complaints or safety concerns reported.
Failure to Provide Accurate Discharge Medication List and Wound Care Instructions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an accurate and comprehensive medication list, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications, at the time of discharge for a resident with multiple diagnoses, including a stage 3 pressure ulcer. The discharge process did not include clear or complete wound care instructions, and the instructions that were provided were written in medical terminology that was not understandable to the resident's family member. The family member did not receive verbal instructions or a prescription for the necessary wound care supplies, and the written instructions did not specify wound care in a way that could be easily followed. As a result, the resident did not receive the prescribed wound care treatment for six days after discharge, until a home health nurse intervened. Review of the facility's records and interviews with the Director of Nursing confirmed that wound care instructions were not included in the appropriate discharge documents and that there was no documentation of wound care education being provided to the resident prior to discharge. The facility's policy required a post-discharge plan to be developed and reviewed with the resident or family, but this was not completed as required.
Expired Hypodermic Needles Found in Medication Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that supplies stored in the medication storage room were appropriate for use, as evidenced by the presence of expired hypodermic needles. During an observation and interview with the Director of Nursing (DON), fourteen 18-gauge hypodermic needles were found in a box with expiration dates that had already passed. The DON acknowledged that these needles should have been discarded to prevent their use. The facility's policy and procedure on medication administration, dated 2007, required checking expiration dates on packages and containers. Additionally, the CDC guidelines emphasize never using expired equipment, including syringes and needles.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Temperature Logging
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the safe and sanitary storage and distribution of food, as observed during a survey. In the dry storage room, opened bottles of Liquid Seasoning, Tabasco sauce, and Tapatio sauce were not labeled with the dates they were opened. Additionally, a bag of shredded coconut was labeled with an open date of January 9, 2024, which exceeded the storage guidelines. The Registered Dietician (RD) confirmed that staff were supposed to label items with the dates they were opened, but this was not being done, making it unclear how long the items had been stored. The facility's policy and procedure for the storage of food and supplies required that opened liquid foods be labeled and dated, which was not adhered to. Furthermore, the facility did not record the temperatures of prepared foods served to residents for dinners on two specific dates. This omission was noted during a review of the food temperature checklist. Interviews with two residents revealed dissatisfaction with the temperature of their meals, with one resident describing the meals as lukewarm and another stating that the meals were ice cold. The facility's document on Meal Service required that food temperatures be taken and recorded prior to meal service, which was not done on the specified dates.
Infection Control Deficiencies: Hand Hygiene and Sharps Disposal
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to proper hand hygiene protocols, as observed during a medication preparation and administration process by a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). The LVN applied hand sanitizer before preparing medications but subsequently touched various surfaces, including the medication cart handles and her eyeglasses, without re-sanitizing her hands before administering medications to a resident. This resident, who had been admitted with multiple diagnoses including Parkinsonism, Atherosclerotic Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and Chronic Systolic Heart Failure, was at risk of infection due to the LVN's failure to follow the facility's hand hygiene policy. The policy required hand sanitization before and after direct contact with residents and after contact with objects in the resident's vicinity. Additionally, the facility did not replace a full sharps container attached to the medication cart, as observed during an interview with the same LVN. The sharps container was filled to the top, contrary to the facility's policy, which mandated replacement when containers are 75% to 80% full. The LVN acknowledged the container was full and questioned whether it should be removed immediately. The Administrator confirmed that using a full sharps container posed a risk of fingerstick injury and infection spread among staff, emphasizing the importance of timely replacement to prevent such hazards.
Deficiency in Room Size Requirements
Penalty
Summary
The facility was found to have five residents' rooms with multiple beds that provided less than the required 80 square feet per resident. During an observation, it was noted that rooms 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8 had square footage per bed ranging from 68.5 to 74.3 square feet, which is below the regulatory requirement. Despite this deficiency, random observations of care and services indicated that there was sufficient space for the provision of care, no heavy equipment was present that might interfere with care, and residents had adequate personal space and privacy. There were no complaints from residents regarding insufficient space for their belongings, and no negative consequences or safety concerns were reported due to the decreased space in these rooms.
