Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Vista Manor Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility's kitchen was found to have several deficiencies, including undated food items in storage areas, ice buildup in a freezer, and unsanitary conditions such as dust on a fan and black residue on sink caulking. These issues were acknowledged by the RD, indicating a failure to maintain sanitary conditions as per facility policies.
The facility failed to ensure proper infection prevention practices for two residents under enhanced barrier precautions. A nurse did not wear a gown while administering IV medication to a resident with a PICC line, and a family member assisting with care for another resident with a G-Tube did not consistently wear the required PPE. These lapses occurred despite clear signage and reminders from staff, potentially exposing residents to infections.
A resident with multiple health conditions was found with a peeling bedside rolling table and a wobbly bed footboard, posing potential hazards. The facility's maintenance policy was not effectively implemented, leading to these deficiencies being unaddressed until identified by a surveyor.
Sanitation and Food Storage Deficiencies in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in the kitchen, as observed during a survey. Several food items in the refrigerators, freezers, and dry goods area were found without use-by dates, which is against the facility's food storage policy. Specifically, items such as diced carrots, grilled chicken breast, cheese pizza, ice cream, and various sauces lacked proper labeling. The Registered Dietician (RD) acknowledged these observations and agreed that certain items, like ice cream, should not be stored in the meat freezer. Additionally, dry goods like peas, lentils, and rice were also found without use-by dates. Further observations revealed unsanitary conditions in the kitchen area. Ice buildup was noted in Dessert Freezer #2, and a black electric fan near the dishwashing area was covered in dust and debris. The RD confirmed these findings and acknowledged the need for cleaning. Moreover, black residue, suspected to be mold, was found on the caulking of the round sink and the 3-compartment sink in the dishwashing area. These conditions indicate a failure to adhere to the facility's sanitation policy, which requires all kitchen areas and equipment to be kept clean and in good repair.
Infection Control Lapses in PPE Usage for Residents Under EBP
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to infection prevention practices for two residents under enhanced barrier precautions (EBP). For Resident 19, who had a PICC line and was receiving intravenous antibiotics for cellulitis, the registered nurse (RN A) did not wear the required gown during medication administration. Despite signage indicating the need for PPE, RN A only wore gloves and admitted to not wearing a gown during such procedures. The infection preventionist confirmed that the nurse should have worn a gown, as per the facility's policy on EBPs. For Resident 64, who had a G-Tube and was under enhanced standard precautions, a family member assisting with care did not wear the appropriate PPE. During a transfer to a shower chair, the family member only wore gloves, despite being reminded by staff to wear a gown as well. The family member acknowledged understanding the requirement but cited difficulty due to hot weather. Observations showed that the family member sometimes complied with PPE requirements, but not consistently. The facility's policy on enhanced barrier precautions requires the use of gowns and gloves during high-contact activities and when cleaning the environment. Both residents had conditions that necessitated these precautions, yet the staff and family member did not consistently follow the guidelines, potentially exposing the residents to transmissible infections.
Failure to Maintain Safe Equipment for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain essential equipment for a resident, leading to potential hazards. The resident, who had a history of hemiplegia, hemiparesis, aphasia, Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and unspecified atrial fibrillation, was observed with a bedside rolling table that had peeling edge trimmings and a wobbly footboard on her bed. During an observation, a certified nursing assistant wheeled the resident to her bedside, where the peeling table was noted. The resident expressed discomfort by pointing at the footboard of her bed, which was confirmed to be wobbly by a licensed vocational nurse. The facility's maintenance policy required preventive maintenance schedules to ensure equipment safety, but these were not effectively implemented in this case. The licensed vocational nurse acknowledged the hazard posed by the peeling table and the wobbly footboard, indicating a lapse in communication and maintenance procedures. The maintenance director was responsible for ensuring equipment safety, but the issues with the resident's equipment were not addressed until pointed out by the surveyor, highlighting a deficiency in the facility's maintenance practices.
