Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Avante At Orlando Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to provide ordered medications affected four residents. One resident with diabetes, DVT, and a mood disorder missed multiple ordered meds including insulin, antihypertensives, anticoagulant therapy, and other routine meds; another post-op resident did not receive prescribed Percocet until nearly two days after admission; a third resident with ESRD and depression missed doses of antidepressants and sevelamer; and a fourth resident missed several doses of alprazolam after admission. Staff reported delays with emailed orders, pharmacy receipt issues, and missing hospital prescriptions.
Unsanitary garbage storage area. The facility failed to keep the outside garbage storage area sanitary and failed to ensure garbage was properly contained in dumpsters and lidded trash cans. During observation, three dumpsters and an uncovered 55-gallon trash can were present, with loose gloves, straws, snack wrappers, and a trash bag with blue pads and masks on the ground. The uncovered trash can was overfilled with garbage bags containing brown bags, snack wrappers, and blue pads. The CDM confirmed the findings, and the Dietary Mgr and Plant Ops Mgr acknowledged the area was unsanitary.
Food Sanitation and Hot Holding Temperature Deficiency: Two frying pans on the clean pan rack were observed with scratched, dried food on the non-stick surfaces, and the CDM confirmed they should not be used in that condition. During lunch service, a cook checked the pureed chicken on the steam table and found it below 135 degrees F; she stated she had not checked the temperature before placing it in the warming cabinet or on the steam table.
Staff did not consistently perform hand hygiene during meal service, before residents ate, or after glove removal during medication administration. A speech therapist and CNA were observed washing hands briefly and incompletely, and an RN failed to clean her hands after removing PPE while caring for a resident on contact isolation. The facility also had wall-mounted dispensers with non-alcohol-based product even though isolation signage called for ABHR, and leadership acknowledged the product was not alcohol-based.
Failure to Provide Ordered Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide medications as ordered by the prescriber for 4 of 4 sampled residents. One cognitively intact resident with diagnoses including a right humerus fracture, right upper extremity DVT, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and a mood disorder reported that she often did not receive prescribed medications and said she had asked to be sent to the hospital after not receiving insulin, blood pressure medication, blood-thinning medication, and other medications. The MAR showed multiple ordered medications were not administered on 3/01/26, including amlodipine, enoxaparin, fluticasone nasal spray, insulin degludec, lisinopril, naltrexone, sertraline, thiamine, and PRN albuterol. A second resident admitted after lumbar spinal stenosis surgery and with cauda equina syndrome had a hospital prescription for oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325 mg, one tablet every four hours as needed, but the medication was not given until almost two days after admission. The grievance log showed the resident’s daughter reported the resident was not receiving pain medication, and staff believed the resident did not have a hospital prescription even though the prescription was in the record. A third cognitively intact resident with sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, ESRD on dialysis, and major depressive disorder reported that the facility had run out of Cymbalta and Wellbutrin. The June MAR showed multiple missed doses of bupropion, duloxetine, and sevelamer carbonate, with some entries marked as refusals and others referenced in nursing notes; however, the care plan did not show behavioral refusals or preferences not to take medications on dialysis days, and there were no nursing notes showing communication to the physician about refusals or preferences. A fourth cognitively intact resident with muscle wasting and atrophy, obstructive sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes mellitus reported that Xanax was missing when she first arrived, and the MAR showed four missed doses of alprazolam before the first dose was administered. Nursing staff stated that new admission orders often did not arrive until later deliveries or the next day, that the ordering system was slow because orders were sent by email, that the pharmacy often reported not receiving orders, and that delays occurred when residents did not arrive with hospital prescriptions.
Unsanitary Garbage Storage Area
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the outside garbage storage area in a sanitary condition and failed to ensure garbage was properly contained in dumpsters and trash cans with lids. During an observation of the area, three dumpsters and one 55-gallon trash can without a lid were present, and loose items including used gloves, straws, empty snack wrappers, and a clear trash bag containing blue pads and masks were seen on the ground around the dumpster area. The 55-gallon trash can without a lid was overfilled with clear garbage bags containing brown bags, snack wrappers, and blue pads. The Certified Dietary Manager who was present during the tour confirmed the findings and stated she was not sure who was responsible for keeping the area clean, while the Dietary Manager stated everyone was responsible for keeping the area clean. The Plant Operations Manager later acknowledged the unsanitary garbage storage area and stated housekeeping and maintenance staff should keep the area clean, but also said it was all staff's responsibility.
Food Sanitation and Hot Holding Temperature Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain cleanliness and sanitation of frying pans and failed to ensure a pureed meal was maintained at the correct hot holding temperature for 5 of 45 residents who received pureed foods. During the kitchen inspection, two pans on the clean pan rack were observed with scratched, dried food on the non-stick surfaces, and the Certified Dietary Manager placed her finger on the surface and tried to scratch off the dried food, confirming the pans should not be used in that condition. During lunch service, the menu included Chicken & Dumplings, and the cook checked hot holding temperatures on the steam table using a digital bayonet instant-read thermometer. The thermometer reading in the pureed chicken was below 135 degrees Fahrenheit, and the cook stated she had not checked the pureed chicken temperature before placing the pan in the warming cabinet earlier in the morning or before placing it on the steam table.
Infection Control Failures During Meal Service, Hand Hygiene, and Isolation Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate infection control practices were followed during meal service and medication administration, and failed to ensure approved alcohol-based hand sanitizer was available for residents on enhanced barrier precautions and contact isolation precautions. During lunch service in the North wing dining area, staff were observed not consistently performing hand hygiene between residents, and a speech therapist assisted residents without consistently cleaning her hands between residents. Residents in the dining area were not offered hand hygiene before eating, and the speech therapist and a CNA were observed washing their hands briefly and incompletely, without adequately rubbing fingers, thumbs, and wrists. The facility also had wall-mounted hand sanitizer dispensers throughout the building that contained a non-alcohol-based product, despite signage on rooms for enhanced barrier precautions and contact isolation indicating the use of a 60-90% alcohol-based hand rub. The Nursing Home Administrator, Infection Preventionist, and DON acknowledged the dispensers were not alcohol-based, and the Administrator stated there was no SDS for the product in the dispensers. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer bottles were later placed on top of the dispensers, and the DON stated she had placed alcohol-based sanitizer on the North wing dispensers the prior evening. During a medication pass for a resident on contact isolation, an RN donned a gown and gloves before entering the room to administer medications, but after removing the gown and gloves she did not perform hand hygiene. The resident’s room had contact isolation signage, and the nurse later confirmed the resident was on contact isolation but was unsure whether the precautions applied to both beds in the room. Interviews with the DON and Infection Preventionist showed differing understandings of when PPE was required for contact isolation and enhanced barrier precautions, and the Infection Preventionist stated staff should wear PPE for a resident on contact isolation.
