Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Sunny View Manor during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Cooked food, including meats and vegetables, was placed in the steamtable significantly earlier than facility policy allows, as confirmed by dietary staff and a registered dietitian. This premature placement did not follow established procedures for conserving nutritional value and palatability of meals.
Kitchen staff, including a sous chef and a registered dietitian, did not follow manufacturer instructions when testing the potency of a chemical sanitizer for kitchen cookware, dipping test strips for less than the required 10 seconds and using solution at an incorrect temperature. Facility policies and in-service training materials lacked clear procedures for this task, and documentation of staff competency was not available.
Dietary staff did not cover meats and vegetables in the walk-in refrigerator and failed to verify the temperatures of meats after blast chilling. Multiple racks contained uncovered raw and partially cooked foods, and there was no monitoring or temperature log for meats cooled in the blast chiller, contrary to facility policy requiring temperature checks.
A resident with heart failure, vascular dementia, and iron deficiency received oxygen at flow rates higher than the physician-ordered 2 lpm, with staff setting the device at 2.5, 2.75, and 3 lpm on different occasions. This was not in accordance with the facility's policy requiring oxygen to be administered as ordered by the physician.
The facility failed to promptly report a significant change in a resident's condition to the physician, resulting in delayed medical intervention and the resident's subsequent death. Despite internal reports of the resident's declining condition, the physician was not notified in a timely manner, leading to the resident being placed on comfort care and expiring.
Premature Placement of Cooked Food in Steamtable Compromises Meal Quality
Penalty
Summary
Dietary staff placed cooked food for lunch, including corned beef, chicken stew, potatoes, and pureed carrots, on the steamtable one and a half hours before meal service. This action was observed during a kitchen inspection, and the dietary supervisor confirmed that the food was intended for lunch service, which would not begin until later. The registered dietitian reviewed the facility's dietetic service policies and stated that the food was placed in the steamtable too early. Facility policy specifies that meats should be prepared just prior to service and that braised or simmered meats may be placed in steam tables only for the last 30 minutes before serving, with vegetables to be steamed as close to serving time as possible. The premature placement of food in the steamtable did not align with these policies and had the potential to compromise the nutritional quality and palatability of meals served to residents.
Failure to Ensure Staff Competency in Sanitizer Potency Testing
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that kitchen staff demonstrated competency in testing the potency of a chemical sanitizer used for kitchen cookware. During an observation, both the kitchen sous chef and the registered dietitian were seen dipping test strips into the sanitizer solution for less than the manufacturer's recommended 10 seconds, with the sous chef's timed dip lasting only 4.97 seconds. The registered dietitian also questioned the need for a 10-second dip, indicating a lack of understanding of the correct procedure. The sanitizer solution was also observed to be at a temperature of 142.8 degrees Fahrenheit, which is outside the recommended range of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit as stated on the test strip container instructions. Review of facility documentation revealed that the in-service program and the policy on sanitizing food contact surfaces did not specify the correct procedure for testing sanitizer potency. Additionally, documentation confirming staff competence in performing the test correctly was not provided when requested. The administrator confirmed that while staff had received training, there was no evidence of their comprehension of the correct procedures.
Failure to Store and Monitor Food Safely in Dietary Department
Penalty
Summary
Dietary staff failed to store cooked foods at safe temperatures and did not cover meats and vegetables in the walk-in refrigerator. During an observation, multiple racks in the walk-in refrigerator were found with uncovered vegetables and various meats, including chicken, fish, beef, pork, and salmon. Some of these items were raw, while others were partially cooked or prepared. The registered dietitian confirmed that opened foods should be covered to preserve moisture and prevent contamination. Additionally, boxes of sliced mushrooms were also left uncovered. The facility was unable to provide a policy regarding the storage of food in refrigerators when requested. The facility also failed to verify the temperatures of meats after using the blast chiller. The sous chef explained that meats were marked on the grill and then placed in the blast chiller, with the expectation that the chiller would cool them to the required temperature. However, there was no monitoring or temperature log maintained for meats undergoing blast chilling, and dietary staff were not checking meat temperatures after the process. The facility's policy required potentially hazardous foods to be cooled to 41°F or below within four hours and to measure food temperatures, but this was not being followed. The blast chiller manufacturer's instructions did not address verification of proper food temperatures after chilling.
Failure to Follow Physician's Order for Oxygen Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow the physician's order for administering oxygen to a resident with diagnoses including heart failure, vascular dementia, and iron deficiency. Multiple observations over several days showed that the resident's oxygen flow rate was set above the ordered 2 liters per minute (lpm), with recorded settings at 2.5 lpm, 2.75 lpm, and 3 lpm. A registered nurse confirmed the discrepancy and indicated she would check the physician's order. Review of the facility's policy and procedure for oxygen therapy specified that oxygen should be administered as ordered by the physician, which was not followed in this case.
Failure to Report Significant Change in Condition
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure staff promptly reported a significant change in condition to the physician for a resident who showed a reduced level of alertness and a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 9 out of 15. This failure resulted in the resident not being seen promptly by a physician and not receiving an acute care hospital evaluation in a timely manner. Consequently, the resident was not deemed a candidate for any intervention when admitted to the acute care hospital and was subsequently placed on comfort care, where they expired. The resident was admitted to the facility with diagnoses of traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, hemiplegia, and hemiparesis following a cerebrovascular accident. Over several days, various therapy progress notes indicated a decline in the resident's condition, including non-verbal behavior, decreased attention skills, and extensor posturing. Despite these observations, there was no documentation that the physician was notified of the significant change in the resident's condition. Interviews with facility staff, including therapists and nurses, revealed that the change in the resident's condition was reported internally but not communicated to the physician. The Director of Nursing and the attending physician confirmed that they were not notified of the change in condition until it was too late. The facility's policy on changes in resident condition was not followed, leading to a delay in necessary medical intervention and ultimately contributing to the resident's death.
