Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Kindred Hospital South Florida Hollywood during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Failure to Complete and Submit Required MDS Assessments: The facility did not complete and submit required MDS assessments for multiple residents. Several residents were discharged in stable condition, including to home, home health, or an ALF, but their discharge MDS assessments were not completed or submitted to CMS. Another resident’s Quarterly MDS was still incomplete, and the MDS Coordinator stated assessments were being handled by multiple staff and that the facility had not had a full-time MDS Coordinator for an extended period.
Failure to develop psychotropic medication care plans for two residents. One resident had Alzheimer’s disease, depression, insomnia, pain, and fracture-related conditions and was ordered duloxetine, tramadol PRN, and pregabalin PRN with shift monitoring for behavior and side effects. Another resident had a hip fracture, major depressive disorder, pain, and mobility problems and was ordered oxycodone PRN, duloxetine, and escitalopram with shift pain and behavior monitoring. The record review and interview confirmed no care plans were present for psychotropic medication use.
Soiled utility room left unsecured and accessible. Surveyors observed the room at the nurse’s station left ajar on multiple occasions, with no staff nearby and no clear barrier to entry. The room contained biohazard waste, biological sample storage, tube feeding equipment, soiled linens, standing water in a sink, and used gloves and masks on the floor. Staff, including an RN, the Housekeeping Morning Supervisor, the Housekeeping/Culinary Director, the Administrator, and the DON, acknowledged the unsecured condition, and the DON identified several residents with varying cognitive status who could ambulate independently and could have entered the room.
Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information: The facility did not post the total number and actual hours worked by RNs, LPNs, and CNAs with the resident census in plain view of residents and visitors. During observation, the staffing hours were not posted on the unit, and an RN stated the information was supposed to be posted on the wall above the menus by the nurse's station at the beginning of each shift.
The facility failed to ensure its Binding Arbitration Agreement stated that residents and their representatives had the right to rescind the agreement within 30 days of signing. The agreement instead said it could be cancelled by written notice to the Hospital by 5:00 PM on the fifth business day after signing. The BOM/Admissions Coordinator confirmed the agreement applied to both the hospital and the SNF unit and acknowledged the finding.
A deficiency was cited due to the facility's failure to keep an area free from accident hazards and to provide adequate supervision to prevent accidents, as observed by surveyors.
The facility failed to provide a clean and homelike environment, with deficiencies such as missing paint, dust accumulation, and damaged equipment observed in multiple rooms, corridors, and the nursing station. These issues were acknowledged by the Facility Manager and Maintenance Director.
The facility failed to serve meals according to the menu and recipe, affecting 26 residents. Observations revealed that servings of fried shrimp, baked fish, and mechanically altered shrimp were only 2 ounces instead of the required 4 ounces. The Culinary Director confirmed the discrepancy, acknowledging the failure to adhere to the planned menu and nutritional guidelines.
The facility failed to secure medications and biologicals, leading to deficiencies. A nurse left prescription pills unattended on a resident's table, and two prescription eye drops were found unsecured on another resident's table without proper orders. Additionally, a Wound Care Treatment Cart was left unlocked with expired gauze dressings. The DON acknowledged these failures.
A facility failed to clean a multi-use Glucometer between uses and did not promptly discard expired biological specimens. An RN used a smudged Glucometer on a diabetic resident without cleaning it, and outdated blood samples were found in a refrigerator. The DON acknowledged these lapses after surveyor intervention.
A resident with multiple health issues was sent to a doctor's appointment wearing only a hospital gown and an incontinence brief, without notifying the family in advance. The resident was left unattended at the doctor's office for an extended period, resulting in discomfort and incontinence. Facility staff failed to communicate effectively and document the resident's appointment details.
Failure to Complete and Submit Required MDS Assessments
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete and submit required resident assessments to CMS at least quarterly for 6 of 6 sampled residents reviewed for Resident Assessments. Record review showed that Resident #37, #44, #53, #57, and #58 each had an admission and later discharge from the facility, but their records contained no evidence that a discharge assessment had been completed and submitted to CMS after discharge. The documented discharge notes for these residents stated they left the facility in stable condition, including one resident discharged home by stretcher with EMTs and belongings, another discharged home with home health ordered, and others discharged home or to an ALF in stable condition. Resident #60 remained in the facility at the time of survey, and the resident's Quarterly MDS was initiated but multiple sections were still incomplete. During interview, the MDS Coordinator stated she had been working in the facility for 10 days, that Resident #60's Quarterly MDS was opened and waiting for her to learn how to submit, and that there had been a remote MDS Coordinator and a District Case Manager/MDS Coordinator opening assessments. The MDS Coordinator also stated the facility had not had a full-time MDS Coordinator since January 29, 2025, and that there were many February, March, and April assessments still being worked on.
Failure to Develop Psychotropic Medication Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to initiate care plans for the use of psychotropic medications for 2 of 5 sampled residents reviewed for unnecessary medications. Resident #67 was admitted with multiple diagnoses including Alzheimer's disease, depression, seizures, insomnia, pain, weakness, unsteadiness on feet, and several fracture-related conditions. The resident's orders included duloxetine 30 mg daily, tramadol 50 mg PRN every 8 hours for pain, pregabalin 50 mg PRN every 12 hours for pain, and monitoring for behavior, antidepressant side effects, and sedative side effects by shift, but the record did not contain a care plan related to psychotropic medication use. Resident #68 was admitted with diagnoses including fracture of the neck of the right femur, pain in the right hip, rheumatoid arthritis, cerebral ischemia, anemia, major depressive disorder, hypertension, GERD, hyperlipidemia, and gait and mobility problems. The resident's orders included oxycodone 5 mg PRN every 4 hours for hip pain, duloxetine 20 mg daily for depressive disorder, escitalopram 5 mg daily for depressive disorder, pain assessment by shift, and behavior monitoring by shift. Review of the record showed no care plan for the use of psychotropic medications. During interview and record review, the District Director of Clinical Education stated she was providing clinical support and acting as DON for 2 to 3 weeks prior to the current DON and was unable to produce or locate care plans for psychotropic medications for either resident.
Soiled Utility Room Left Unsecured and Accessible
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to keep the soiled utility room at the nurse’s station closed and secured on multiple observations. On 05/03/26, the door was left ajar with no staff in the immediate area, and the surveyor was able to push it open with minimal effort and enter the room. Inside, the room contained a biohazard waste container, a refrigerator used for biological samples with blood collection vials inside, a tube feeding apparatus with two pumps attached to poles, containers for soiled linens and other soiled items, a handwashing sink with standing water, and single-use gloves and face masks that appeared used and discarded on the floor. Later that day, an unidentified staff member was observed entering the room by backing in without disabling any locking mechanism. Staff A, RN, acknowledged the door should have been closed and demonstrated that the locking mechanism worked. On 05/04/26, the soiled utility room was again observed not locked or secured, and the Housekeeping Morning Supervisor and Housekeeping/Culinary Director could not provide a plausible explanation for why it was unsecured. On 05/06/26, the door was again left ajar with no staff nearby to prevent residents from entering. The Administrator, DON, and Social Services Director acknowledged the concern. The DON identified residents who could ambulate independently and could have entered the room in the observed condition, including residents documented as alert and oriented times 3 or 4, residents with BIMS scores of 10 or 12 indicating moderate cognitive impairment, and residents who ambulated independently with a walker, without a device, or with a manual wheelchair.
Failure to Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to post the total number and actual hours worked by RNs, LPNs, and CNAs with the resident census in plain view of residents and visitors on 05/03/26. During the initial screening process beginning at 9:03 AM, it was observed that the actual working hours for the nurses and CNAs were not posted on the unit. During an interview at the time of the observation, Staff A, RN, stated that the information was supposed to be posted on the wall above where the menus are posted by the nurse's station at the beginning of each shift.
Binding Arbitration Agreement Did Not Reflect 30-Day Rescission Right
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that its Binding Arbitration Agreement reflected that residents and their representatives who entered into the agreement had the right to rescind it within 30 calendar days of signing. Review of the agreement on 05/03/26 found that it stated the agreement could be cancelled by delivering written notice of revocation to the Hospital no later than 5:00 PM local time on the fifth business day after signing, rather than documenting a 30-day rescission right. The census at the time of survey was 30 residents, including 20 residents admitted within the previous 30 days. During interview on 05/04/2026, the Business Office Manager/Admissions Coordinator confirmed that the agreement applied to both the hospital and the Skilled Nursing Unit and acknowledged understanding of the finding.
Failure to Maintain Safe Environment and Supervision
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified in the facility's failure to ensure that an area was free from accident hazards and that adequate supervision was provided to prevent accidents. The report notes that the environment did not meet safety standards, which could contribute to accidents occurring. Specific actions or inactions leading to this deficiency include the lack of proper oversight and the presence of hazards in the area, as directly observed by surveyors. No additional details about the residents involved, their medical history, or their condition at the time of the deficiency are provided in the report.
Facility Fails to Maintain Clean and Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, and homelike environment for its residents, as evidenced by multiple deficiencies observed during a survey. In 14 out of 17 rooms, the corridor, the nursing station, and the supply room, there were issues such as missing painted surfaces, chipped paint, and an accumulation of dust on air conditioning vents. Specific rooms had exposed unfinished surfaces, chipped door paint, and dust accumulation, which were noted during the initial pool process and a subsequent room-by-room tour. Additional observations included a black mold-like substance on a ceiling tile in one room, stained ceiling tiles at the nurse's station indicating moisture penetration, and damaged handrails with sharp splinters and jagged points. The Equipment and Supply Storage Room had chipped paint on Hoyer lifts and cracked motor covers. These findings were acknowledged by the Facility Manager and the Maintenance Director during the environmental tour and subsequent observations.
Failure to Serve Meals According to Menu and Recipe
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to serve lunch according to the menu and recipe on a specified date, affecting 26 residents who eat by mouth from the kitchen. The lunch menu documented that residents were to be served fried shrimp with waffle fries, with baked fish as an alternate option. The recipe provided by the Culinary Director specified that a portion of fried shrimp should consist of 6 shrimp, equating to a 4-ounce serving, and the baked fish should also weigh 4 ounces per serving. However, during an observation of lunch assembly, it was noted that only 4 pieces of fried shrimp, weighing 2 ounces, were placed on a plate for residents. Similarly, the baked fish and mechanically altered shrimp servings also weighed only 2 ounces each, contrary to the documented 4-ounce requirement. During an interview, the Culinary Director confirmed that residents were supposed to receive 4 ounces of protein for the meal. The Culinary Director acknowledged that the residents were not being served according to the menu and recipe specifications prior to the surveyor's intervention. This discrepancy in serving sizes indicates a failure to adhere to the planned menu and nutritional guidelines, potentially impacting the nutritional intake of the residents.
Medication and Biological Security Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to secure medications and biologicals as required, leading to several deficiencies. During a Medication Administration Observation, a registered nurse left two prescription pill medications unattended on a resident's bedside table while retrieving water, leaving the medications out of her line of sight. This action was acknowledged by the nurse as inappropriate, as medications should be secured at all times. In another instance, two prescription eye drop medications were found unsecured on a resident's overbed table during an observational room tour. The resident, who was not assessed to self-administer medications, stated that the eye drops were from her home and used as needed. However, there were no orders for these medications in the resident's records, and they remained unsecured until addressed by surveyors. Additionally, a Wound Care Treatment Cart was observed left unattended and unlocked in the hallway, and it contained nine expired gauze dressings. The nurse responsible for the cart acknowledged that it should have been locked and the expired items discarded. The Director of Nursing recognized these failures, including the unsecured medications and the expired treatment items, as deficiencies in the facility's practices.
Infection Control and Biological Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its infection prevention and control program by not cleaning and sanitizing a multi-use Glucometer machine between resident uses. During an observation, a registered nurse (RN) was seen using a visibly smudged Glucometer on a resident with diabetes without cleaning it before or after use. The Glucometer was left uncovered on a medication cart, accessible to residents, staff, and visitors, and was later placed in a drawer without being sanitized. The RN acknowledged the oversight during an interview, confirming that the Glucometer should have been cleaned with Sani-cloth wipes as per the facility's policy. Additionally, the facility did not promptly discard outdated and expired blood/biological specimen tubes found in the Soiled Utility Room refrigerator. Four tubes, including one labeled with a former resident's name and three unlabeled, were discovered during an inspection. These tubes contained old blood samples and were not properly labeled, dated, or secured. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged that these specimens were outdated and should have been removed. The oversight in handling the Glucometer and the expired biological specimens indicates a lapse in the facility's adherence to its policies on infection control and biological storage. The DON and other staff members recognized these deficiencies only after surveyor intervention, highlighting a need for improved compliance with established procedures.
Resident Sent to Appointment in Hospital Gown and Unattended
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to treat a resident in a dignified manner by allowing them to attend a doctor's appointment wearing only a hospital gown and an incontinence brief. The resident was left unattended at the doctor's office for an extended period after the appointment. This incident involved a resident with multiple diagnoses, including dementia, Parkinsonism, and diabetes, who required assistance with daily activities and had impaired mobility. The facility's policy required notifying the resident's responsible party in advance of appointments, which was not done in this case. The resident's family was informed only 15 minutes before the appointment, and the resident was sent to the appointment unaccompanied. The facility also failed to provide the resident with appropriate clothing, resulting in the resident being cold and urinating on themselves while waiting for transportation back to the facility. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of communication and documentation regarding the resident's appointment. The Unit Clerk/Scheduler admitted to not confirming with the family if they could accompany the resident and did not consider rescheduling the appointment. The acting DON and other staff members were unaware of the resident's exact condition and attire during the appointment, and there was no documentation of the resident's departure and return times or notification of the responsible party.
