Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Valley View Villa during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple pain-related diagnoses was supposed to receive methadone for pain but was instead given another resident’s Oxycontin after a nurse pulled the wrong medication card during a medication pass. The error was not discovered until the next morning’s narcotic count, when staff found the methadone dose missing from one card and an extra tablet in the other resident’s card. Interviews showed the trainee nurse was not being directly observed at the exact time of administration.
A facility failed to maintain proper infection control practices during room cleaning. A housekeeper did not treat each side of a double occupancy room as separate zones, using the same cleaning cloth and gloves for both sides and neglecting to clean all high-touch surfaces. The housekeeper also cleaned the toilet before other areas and did not change gloves after handling dirty mop heads, contrary to facility policy and CDC guidelines. Staff interviews confirmed these lapses in protocol.
Significant opioid medication mix-up
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent a significant medication error for one resident when the resident was inadvertently given another resident’s opioid medication instead of the ordered methadone. The resident had diagnoses including peripheral vascular disease, orthostatic hypotension, a chronic right foot ulcer, gangrene, pain in the right foot, and hypertension. The resident’s MDS showed severe cognitive impairment with a BIMS score of 3 and dependence on staff for transfers. The physician had ordered methadone for pain control, and the record showed that the resident’s scheduled methadone dose was not administered as documented. Instead, the resident received 30 mg of Oxycontin that belonged to another resident. The medication discrepancy was identified during the next morning’s controlled substance count, when staff noted an extra methadone tablet in the resident’s medication card and one fewer Oxycontin tablet in the other resident’s card. The resident’s record did not contain an order for Oxycontin at the time of the error. Interviews showed the error occurred during medication administration by a nurse who was new to the facility and was being trained by another nurse. The training nurse stated she was supposed to be present during medication administration, but she was not with the trainee at the exact time the error occurred. The nurse administering the medications reported being interrupted during the pass and later believed she had pulled the wrong medication card. The resident was assessed after the error and staff reported no immediate adverse effects, but the event involved administration of one resident’s opioid medication to another resident in place of the ordered medication.
Inadequate Infection Control Practices in Room Cleaning
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by the actions of a housekeeper (HSKP #1) who did not adhere to proper cleaning protocols in a double occupancy room. During observations, it was noted that HSKP #1 did not treat each side of the room as a separate patient zone, as required by both the facility's policy and CDC guidelines. Specifically, HSKP #1 used the same cleaning cloth and gloves for both sides of the room, failing to change them between patient zones, and did not clean all high-touch surfaces such as call lights, remotes, and bed controls. HSKP #1 also did not follow the correct sequence of cleaning from cleanest to dirtiest areas, as she cleaned the toilet before other areas in the room. This was contrary to the facility's policy and the CDC's recommended procedures, which state that the toilet should be cleaned last to prevent the spread of microorganisms. Additionally, HSKP #1 did not change gloves after handling dirty mop heads, which led to potential cross-contamination when she touched other surfaces with the same gloves. Interviews with the housekeeping supervisor, infection preventionist, and nursing home administrator confirmed that the facility's policy required changing cleaning cloths and gloves between patient zones and cleaning from cleanest to dirtiest areas. The staff acknowledged the lapses in protocol, with HSKP #1 admitting to not following the correct procedures and expressing uncertainty about the proper cleaning order. These deficiencies highlight a failure in the facility's infection control practices, potentially compromising the safety and sanitation of the environment.
