Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Bay Breeze Senior Living And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that dietary staff failed to follow proper food labeling and storage practices, as numerous opened dry goods, spices, and refrigerated and frozen items were unlabeled or undated, and some items, such as a box of chocolate shakes, had sticky residue on the exterior. Prepared sandwiches and salads in refrigeration lacked preparation or open-date labels, a bag of meat in the freezer had no identifying label or dates, and canned goods had markings that were not easily readable, preventing effective product rotation. The RDN acknowledged ongoing labeling issues, and the facility lacked a permanent dietary manager while the interim manager was absent.
Surveyors found that staff failed to notify representatives for two residents who experienced significant changes in condition and were transferred to the hospital, despite a policy requiring such notification unless the resident specifically declines it. Record reviews showed documentation only that the residents themselves were notified, with no record of representative contact or refusal of notification. One family member reported not being informed of lab results, tests, changes in condition, or the hospitalization, learning of the situation only from the hospital after the resident was in the ICU. Staff interviews revealed uncertainty about who is responsible for notifying representatives, and leadership reported they were not aware that policy required representative notification for changes in status and hospital transfers.
Failure to Maintain Proper Food Labeling and Storage Practices
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency in food procurement, storage, preparation, and service practices when a tour of the kitchen with the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) revealed multiple instances of improper food handling and unsanitary conditions. In the dry storage area, two opened bags of pasta, a gallon of red wine vinegar, a gallon of apple cider vinegar, an opened bag of rice, two cartons of dried mashed potatoes, and more than thirty opened spice containers were found without labels indicating when the items were opened. In the refrigerated section, three prepared sandwiches and three prepared salads were stored without preparation or open-date labels, and a box of chocolate shakes had sticky residue on the exterior surface. In the freezer, a zip-locked bag of meat was stored without any label identifying the contents or dates. Additionally, canned goods on the shelving had date markings that were not easily readable, preventing staff from determining product rotation or identifying older inventory. The RDN acknowledged ongoing issues with labeling and confirmed that undated prepared foods were being discarded, and it was noted that the facility had no permanent dietary manager and the interim manager was absent due to illness. A review of the facility’s Food Storage policy stated that food storage areas shall be maintained in a clean, safe, and sanitary manner, which contrasted with the observed conditions of unlabeled, undated, and unsanitary food items in multiple storage areas.
Failure to Notify Resident Representatives of Change in Condition and Hospital Transfer
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency in the facility’s failure to notify residents’ representatives of significant changes in condition and hospital transfers, as required by facility policy and regulatory expectations. Based on interviews and record review, 2 of 4 sampled residents experienced a change in condition and transfer to the hospital without documented notification of their representatives. For one resident with a change in condition on 01/01/2026 and another on 02/18/2026, the medical records showed only that the residents themselves were notified, with no documentation that their representatives were informed or that the residents refused such notification. The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that the required family notification was missing from both records, despite the expectation that staff document this in the SBAR template and progress notes. Staff interviews further showed confusion and lack of awareness regarding responsibility for and requirements of representative notification. A registered nurse reported that she completes the SBAR form and uses the communication book for hospital transfers but was unsure who should notify the resident’s representative, believing the supervisor handled those calls. The family of one resident reported they were not notified about lab results, tests, changes in condition, or the transfer and hospitalization, learning of the situation only when contacted by the hospital after the resident was already in the ICU. The DON and Administrator stated they were not aware of the facility policy requiring notification of the resident’s representative for changes in status or hospital transfers and explained that staff typically do not notify representatives if the resident is alert and oriented. Review of the facility’s Change of Condition policy showed that the Nurse Supervisor is required to notify the resident’s representative of accidents, significant changes in status, room changes, discharges, or hospital transfers unless the resident specifically requests otherwise.
