Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at White Memorial Medical Ctr Dp during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to inform three residents and/or their representatives about the right to formulate an advance directive, as revealed through interviews and record reviews. This deficiency could lead to conflicts in carrying out the residents' wishes for medical treatment and healthcare decisions.
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in the kitchen. Dietary staff with visible beards were observed without beard covers, and opened containers of seasoning were found unlabeled and undated, violating facility policies and posing a risk of contamination.
The facility failed to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to five residents and did not document that these residents or their responsible parties were educated about the vaccine's benefits and risks. The Infection Control Preventionist and the Director of Risk Management and Infection Control confirmed the absence of documentation, which was required by the facility's policy.
A facility failed to prevent a pressure ulcer for a resident by leaving them in a chair without a pressure-relieving device for over five hours. The resident, who had sepsis and end-stage renal dialysis, was at risk for pressure ulcers but had no specific care plan for prevention. Multiple observations confirmed the resident's prolonged sitting, and a brown discoloration was noted on their sacrococcyx area.
The facility failed to ensure a resident's safety when a family member, who had not received proper training, was observed giving the resident a drink through a straw while the bed was flat. The DON confirmed that the head of the bed should be elevated during meals to prevent aspiration, and there was no documentation of the family member receiving the necessary education.
Failure to Inform Residents About Advance Directives
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that three residents (Residents 4, 60, and 111) and/or their representatives were informed and provided written information regarding the right to formulate an advance directive. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews, which revealed that the facility did not document any efforts to inform these residents or their representatives about advance directives. This failure could potentially lead to conflicts in carrying out the residents' wishes for medical treatment and healthcare decisions. Resident 4 was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including diabetes, hypertension, and osteomyelitis. The resident had an acute change in mental status and was severely impaired in cognitive skills for daily decision-making. Despite this, there was no documented evidence that the resident's representative was contacted and provided information on formulating an advance directive. The Social Worker confirmed that the facility should have inquired with the resident's representative if the resident was unable to make decisions. Resident 60, who had diagnoses including sepsis and end-stage renal dialysis, was found to have intact cognitive skills for daily decision-making. However, there was no documentation indicating that information about advance directives was provided to the resident. Similarly, Resident 111, who had osteomyelitis and dementia, was also not provided with information regarding advance directives. The Director of Staff Development confirmed the lack of documentation and emphasized the importance of knowing the residents' wishes in the event of an emergency.
Failure to Maintain Sanitary Conditions in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary conditions in the kitchen, as observed during a survey. Dietary Aid 1 and Dietary Aid 2, both with visible beards, were seen in the food preparation area without beard covers. This was against the facility's policy, which mandates that kitchen staff with beards longer than a quarter of an inch must wear beard nets to prevent food or debris from falling into the food. The Director of Dietary Services confirmed the importance of this policy during an interview, emphasizing the risk of contamination from facial hair. The facility's policy on employee hygiene specifically requires hair constraints to cover and contain head and facial hair to maintain food safety standards. Additionally, during an initial tour of the kitchen, an opened bottle of browning and seasoning sauce and a 60-ounce container of crushed pepper were found unlabeled and undated. The Dietary Supervisor acknowledged that all seasonings should be labeled with an opened and used-by date. The Facility Registered Dietician also highlighted the critical need to label all foods to ensure quality and safety for the residents. The facility's policy on food storage mandates that all stored foods must be properly labeled and dated with the product name, date opened or prepared, and use-by date to maintain proper sanitation and safety standards.
Failure to Offer and Document COVID-19 Vaccination
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to offer the COVID-19 vaccine to five sampled residents (Residents 4, 60, 61, 62, and 110) and did not provide documented evidence that these residents or their responsible parties were educated about the benefits and potential risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews conducted by surveyors. The Infection Control Preventionist (ICP) and the Director of Risk Management and Infection Control (DRMIC) confirmed the absence of documentation indicating that the vaccine or boosters were offered to these residents upon admission. Resident 4 was admitted with diagnoses including diabetes, hypertension, and osteomyelitis and had severe cognitive impairment requiring maximal assistance with daily activities. Resident 60, admitted with sepsis and end-stage renal dialysis, had intact cognitive skills and required moderate assistance with mobility. Resident 61 had diabetes, hypertension, and a history of stroke, while Resident 62 had atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and impaired mobility. Resident 110, admitted with a complicated urinary tract infection, had diabetes, cirrhosis, and morbid obesity, and had intact cognitive skills. During the review, the ICP and DRMIC acknowledged the lack of documentation for offering the COVID-19 vaccine and boosters to these residents. The facility's policy required that all residents be provided with vaccination information upon admission and that vaccine administration be recorded in the resident's medical record. However, this procedure was not followed, as evidenced by the missing COVID-19 Vaccination Acknowledgement Forms and Vaccination Logs for the sampled residents.
Failure to Prevent Pressure Ulcer Development
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent the development of a pressure ulcer for a resident by leaving the resident in a chair without a pressure-relieving device for five hours and 30 minutes. The resident, who was admitted on 5/7/2024, had diagnoses including sepsis due to an infected central venous catheter and end-stage renal dialysis. The resident's Minimum Data Set (MDS) indicated they had intact cognitive skills for daily decision-making and required moderate assistance for bed mobility. The MDS also indicated the resident was at risk of developing pressure ulcers but did not have any at the time of the assessment. On 5/19/2024, multiple observations confirmed that the resident was sitting on a regular chair at the bedside from 9:10 AM to 2:40 PM without a pressure-relieving device. During an interview, a CNA confirmed that the resident had been sitting in the chair since around 9 AM and needed assistance to stand up. Upon assisting the resident to stand, a brown discoloration was observed on the resident's sacrococcyx area. The RN stated that the CNA did not inform them that the resident had been sitting in the chair all day and acknowledged the absence of a pressure-relieving device. A review of the resident's care plan revealed no specific interventions for pressure ulcer prevention, despite the facility's policy requiring such measures for at-risk patients.
Failure to Ensure Resident Safety During Meal Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Resident 111 was free from accident hazards in accordance with the facility policy. During an observation, Resident 111's family member was seen giving the resident a drink through a straw while the head of the bed was flat. This occurred after a registered nurse had left the resident's bed following a blood sugar check. The family member admitted to assisting the resident with lunch the previous day without having received any training on how to properly assist with meals. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the head of the bed should be elevated during meals to prevent aspiration and that family members need to be educated before assisting residents with meals. A review of the resident's care plan indicated that the head of the bed should be elevated during meal times. Additionally, the facility's policy on feeding assistance emphasized the need for residents to be in an upright, sitting position during meals. However, there was no documentation that the family member had been provided with the necessary education and supervision to ensure the resident's safety.
