Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Avante At Ormond Beach, Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow proper food handling and sanitation practices, as observed during a kitchen tour. The dish machine did not reach the required rinse temperature, and the meat slicer was not properly cleaned. Dietary staff were seen changing gloves without washing hands, despite training on hand hygiene. These actions pose a risk of foodborne illness in a healthcare setting.
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary and comfortable environment, with issues including non-functional bed controls for a resident, unclean enteral nutrition equipment, and disrepair in rooms. Staff interviews revealed a lack of reporting through the facility's maintenance system, and the housekeeping supervisor confirmed the difficulty in cleaning dried-on enteral nutrition product.
The facility failed to assist residents with hand hygiene before meals, as observed during meal service. Staff practiced hand hygiene themselves but did not offer or assist residents, particularly those unable to perform it independently. Interviews confirmed the lack of assistance, and the facility's ADL policy did not specifically address mealtime hand hygiene. The DON acknowledged the absence of a specific policy and surveillance for this practice.
A resident was discharged from the facility without medications, despite having multiple medical diagnoses and intact cognition. The discharge process lacked a comprehensive plan, and there was no documentation of a discharge meeting. Interviews with staff revealed inconsistencies in the discharge process, with no clear protocol for ensuring residents received medications at home. The facility's policy required necessary information for a safe transition, but this was not adhered to, resulting in a deficiency.
Improper Food Handling and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, resulting in a deficiency related to improper sanitation and food handling practices. During a kitchen tour, it was observed that the dish machine, which is a high-temperature machine, did not reach the required rinse cycle temperature of 180°F, only reaching 173°F. This was confirmed by the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) and Dietary Aide G, who acknowledged the discrepancy. Additionally, the meat slicer was not properly cleaned, as Dietary [NAME] E was observed washing it with soapy water and a rag without disassembling it, leaving food debris encrusted on the slicer. Further observations revealed that dietary staff did not follow proper hand hygiene and glove use protocols. Dietary [NAME] E and Dietary [NAME] F were both observed changing gloves without washing their hands in between tasks, despite having been trained on hand hygiene. Dietary [NAME] F admitted to not washing her hands due to the inconvenience of walking across the kitchen. Similarly, Dietary Aide G was seen handling both dirty and clean dishes without changing gloves or washing hands, moving back and forth between the clean and dirty sides of the dish room. The facility's policies and procedures, as well as training records, were reviewed and confirmed that staff had been trained on proper hand hygiene and glove use. The CDM acknowledged the observations and confirmed that the practices observed were not in compliance with the facility's policies. The failure to follow these procedures poses a risk of foodborne illness, particularly in a healthcare setting where residents have compromised health statuses.
Deficiencies in Maintenance and Housekeeping
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary and comfortable living environment for its residents, as evidenced by several deficiencies observed during a survey. One resident's bed controls were non-functional, preventing the bed from rising when the remote control was pressed. This issue was confirmed by the resident and observed by the surveyors. Additionally, the maintenance director attempted to fix the problem but indicated that the bed would need to be removed from the room for repairs. The survey also revealed that the facility did not adequately clean and maintain the enteral nutrition pumps and poles for several residents. Dried-on enteral food product was observed on the equipment, which the housekeeping supervisor confirmed had been present for some time and required scraping to remove. This lack of cleanliness extended to the rooms themselves, where walls, floors, and air conditioning units were found to be in disrepair and unclean. Black biological growth and rust stains were noted on and around the AC units, and some units had broken covers. Interviews with facility staff, including the maintenance director and housekeeping supervisor, confirmed that the issues had not been reported through the facility's electronic building management system, which is used to track maintenance requests. The maintenance director was unaware of the problems until the survey, and the housekeeping supervisor acknowledged the difficulty in cleaning the dried-on enteral nutrition product. The facility's policies on preventative maintenance and routine cleaning were reviewed, highlighting the responsibilities of the maintenance director and housekeeping staff to ensure a safe and sanitary environment.
Failure to Assist Residents with Hand Hygiene Before Meals
Penalty
Summary
The facility's staff failed to offer or assist residents with hand hygiene before meals, leading to a deficiency in infection prevention and control. Observations on multiple occasions revealed that while staff practiced hand hygiene before serving meal trays, they did not extend this practice to the residents, particularly those unable to perform hand hygiene independently. Interviews with residents confirmed that they were not offered hand hygiene assistance before meals, despite their inability to do so themselves. Further investigation revealed that the facility's policy on Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) did not specifically address hand hygiene before meals, although it mentioned general hygiene practices. Interviews with staff, including CNAs and the Director of Nursing, indicated a lack of consistent practice and surveillance regarding resident hand hygiene before meals. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the absence of a specific policy for mealtime hand hygiene and confirmed that no surveillance was conducted to ensure compliance with expected practices.
Deficiency in Discharge Planning and Medication Reconciliation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive discharge plan for a resident, resulting in a deficiency related to medication reconciliation post-discharge. The resident, who had intact cognition and multiple medical diagnoses including Nonrheumatic mitral valve insufficiency, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Systolic Heart Failure, and Major depressive disorder, was discharged home without medications. The discharge summary indicated that medications were released to the family per state regulations, but no medications were sent home with the resident, and there was no documentation of a discharge meeting with the resident. Interviews with facility staff revealed inconsistencies and gaps in the discharge process. An LPN described the process of educating residents and families about discharge medications and ensuring follow-up with primary physicians, but there was no evidence that this was effectively carried out for the resident in question. The Social Services Director and the Director of Nursing both acknowledged that there was no process in place to ensure that residents discharged without medications received them at home. The Director of Nursing was unsure how to verify if medication orders were sent to the pharmacy, and the Administrator admitted that there was no documentation of attempts to contact the physician for prescriptions. The facility's policy on transfer and discharge requirements indicated that necessary information should be provided to the receiving provider to ensure a safe and effective transition of care. However, the lack of a clear process for medication reconciliation and the absence of documentation regarding the discharge process for the resident highlighted a failure to adhere to these guidelines. This deficiency was identified through a review of the resident's medical record and interviews with facility staff, revealing a significant oversight in the discharge planning process.
