Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Brynwood Health And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain clean and sanitary laundry areas, as observed during a tour. In the Infectious Waste room, there was no paper towel holder at the handwashing sink, and the soiled linen cart was uncovered with improperly bagged linens. In the Soiled Utility room, a specimen refrigerator had a large ice build-up. In the laundry area, dryer lint traps had a large build-up of lint, and a brown melted substance was present in the dryer drums. A Laundry Aide noted that maintenance cleaned these areas quarterly but could not recall the last cleaning, and stated that lint traps should be cleaned hourly.
The facility failed to securely store medications for two residents and did not assess their ability to self-administer. Staff left medication carts unlocked and unattended during administration, and medications were improperly disposed of, contrary to facility policy. The DON confirmed staff were instructed on proper procedures, but these were not consistently followed.
The facility failed to maintain infection control standards during medication administration. An LPN administered insulin without gloves, and an RN did not wash hands or clean equipment between residents. Both staff acknowledged their oversights, and the facility's leadership confirmed the lapses in protocol adherence.
Facility Fails to Maintain Clean and Sanitary Laundry Areas
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the laundry areas in a clean and sanitary manner, as observed during a tour with the Environmental Services Director. In the Infectious Waste room on the North/Rehab hallway, there was no paper towel holder at the handwashing sink, despite a sign instructing staff to wash hands before returning to work. Additionally, the soiled linen cart in this room was uncovered, and the linens were not properly bagged. In the Soiled Utility room on the North/West hallway, a specimen refrigerator was found with a large build-up of ice in the freezer, indicating a need for defrosting. In the laundry area, two washing machines and two dryers were observed with significant issues. The dryer lint traps had a large build-up of lint, and a brown melted substance was present throughout the drums of both dryers. Staff A, a Laundry Aide, mentioned that maintenance staff cleaned the drums and lint areas quarterly but could not recall the last cleaning. Staff A also stated that laundry staff should clean the lint traps every hour.
Medication Storage and Disposal Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were stored securely for two residents, as observed during a tour. A tube of arthritis cream was found on the nightstand of one resident, and a bottle of saline nasal spray was found on another resident's nightstand. Neither resident had an active physician order for these medications, and there was no assessment indicating they were safe to self-administer their medications. Both residents were cognitively intact, with BIMS scores of 13 and 14, respectively. The Director of Nursing confirmed that neither resident had been assessed for self-administration of medications. During medication administration observations, staff members were found to leave medication carts unlocked and unattended. One RN was observed with multiple medication cups prepared for different residents, leaving them on top of the cart while attending to other tasks. The RN admitted to knowing that pre-pouring medications and leaving them unattended was against protocol. Similarly, two LPNs were observed leaving their medication carts unlocked and unattended, with one LPN able to open the cart without a key, indicating it was not properly secured. The facility's policy requires all medications to be stored in locked compartments and under direct observation during administration. The facility also failed to properly dispose of medications. During observations, a blood thinner tablet was disposed of in a sharps container by one LPN, and another LPN disposed of a whole medication tablet in an open garbage can. The facility's policy requires the use of a pill buster solution for disposing of unused medications, but staff members were either unaware of this requirement or did not follow it. The Director of Nursing stated that staff were instructed to use the pill buster solution for all unused medications, but this was not consistently practiced.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain infection control standards during medication administration, as observed in two separate instances. In the first instance, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) administered insulin to a resident without donning gloves, despite having washed her hands and cleaned the injection site. The LPN acknowledged the oversight when questioned. The facility's policy, revised in January 2024, clearly states that gloves should be worn during insulin administration, indicating a deviation from established procedures. In the second instance, a Registered Nurse (RN) was observed administering medications to multiple residents without washing her hands between each resident. Additionally, the RN used a blood pressure cuff on a resident and returned it to the medication cart without cleaning it. The RN confirmed that she should have washed her hands and cleaned the equipment between residents. Interviews with the Director of Nursing, Corporate Nurse Consultant, and Administrator corroborated that the nurses did not adhere to proper hand hygiene and equipment cleaning protocols.
