Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Olive Branch Health And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found multiple instances where medications were left unattended on bedside tables in several residents’ rooms, with no staff present and no MD orders or assessments authorizing self-administration. In one case, a resident independently ingested oral meds left at another resident’s bedside without any nurse or staff in the room. An RN later confirmed that facility practice requires meds not be left at bedside and that residents be observed swallowing medications, but could not explain why medications had been left in resident rooms.
The facility did not post daily nurse staffing information in a location visible to residents and visitors on two observed days. Instead, the information was placed behind the receptionist desk, making it inaccessible. Both the Staffing Coordinator and Administrator confirmed the posting was not visible as required.
A RN administered IV Ertapenem to a resident without disinfecting the medication vial's rubber septum with alcohol before accessing it. The facility's policy did not specify this requirement, and the DON could not confirm if such a step was included in current procedures, despite CDC guidelines recommending this practice.
The facility did not provide access to a dining room for residents on weekends, as observed during a survey. On one observed day, the dining area was not set up for resident use, and staff confirmed that the dining room had been closed on weekends for an extended period due to staffing shortages. A resident expressed a preference for dining in the dining room, citing more menu options. The dining room was available and in use on weekdays, but not on weekends.
Unsecured Bedside Medications and Unauthorized Self-Administration
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure medications were securely stored and not left unattended at residents’ bedsides. On 2/23/2026 at approximately 10:00 a.m., during a facility tour, medications were observed on bedside tables in the rooms of ten residents, with no staff present in any of the rooms at the time. In one room, a resident was seated while a medication cup containing oral medications was on the bedside table. During this observation, another resident picked up the medication cup and independently ingested the medications without any licensed nurse or staff member present. On 2/24/2026 at approximately 7:30 a.m., medications were again observed on bedside tables in multiple residents’ rooms with no staff present. Record review later that day showed there were no physician orders authorizing self-administration of medications and no documented assessments of the residents’ ability to safely self-administer medications for any of the residents whose rooms contained unattended medications. An RN observed administering medications on 2/24/2026 at approximately 8:00 a.m. followed standard medication administration practices and stated that medications were not to be left at the bedside and that residents must be observed swallowing medications in the nurse’s presence, but she could not explain how the medications came to be left in the residents’ rooms.
Failure to Prominently Post Daily Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the required daily posting of nurse staffing information in a prominent location visible to residents and visitors for two out of four days observed. During a facility tour, surveyors noted that the daily staffing information was not posted in a visible area, but instead was placed face up on the counter behind the receptionist desk, making it not easily accessible or visible to residents and visitors. The Staffing Coordinator confirmed that the posting was not visible and acknowledged that the facility had previously used a stand to display the information but had stopped for an unknown reason. The Administrator also confirmed that the expectation was for the staffing information to be displayed in a stand at the receptionist desk to ensure visibility.
Failure to Disinfect Medication Vial Septum Prior to IV Administration
Penalty
Summary
A Registered Nurse (RN) failed to follow safe injection practices during the administration of intravenous Ertapenem to a resident. The RN removed the plastic cap from a glass vial containing the medication and attached it to a saline bag without swabbing the rubber septum with alcohol prior to accessing the medication. The RN acknowledged not disinfecting the vial's septum before mixing and administering the medication. The Director of Nursing was unable to confirm whether facility policy specifically required swabbing the septum, and a review of the facility's Parenterals/Intravenous Solutions policy did not include instructions to wipe the septum with alcohol prior to piercing. The CDC Injection Safety Checklist, however, specifies that the rubber septum should be disinfected with alcohol before use.
Dining Room Not Available for Resident Use on Weekends
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a designated dining room for residents to dine in on at least one of the four days observed. During a tour of the dining area on a Sunday, the room was found to be clean but had dim lighting and was not set up to accommodate residents for lunch. No residents were observed eating in the dining room during this time. Staff interviews confirmed that the dining room was not open on weekends due to staffing shortages, and this practice had been ongoing for an extended period. The Certified Dietary Manager stated that they were waiting for increased weekend staffing, and a Dietician Tech confirmed that the dining room had not been open on weekends since at least June 2022. Resident interviews indicated a preference for dining in the dining room, with one resident noting more menu options available there compared to eating in their room. On a weekday, the dining area was observed in use by about 15 residents, with dietary staff present and assisting. The Administrator acknowledged that the dining room closure on weekends was initially due to CDC COVID guidelines, but these guidelines had changed three months prior to the survey. Despite this, the dining room remained closed on weekends, and the facility was in the process of planning for its reopening.
