Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Southern Pines Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found widespread uncleanliness and disrepair throughout all hallways and the dining room, including dirty treatment carts, stained and scuffed floors, unfinished wall patches, odorous and unsanitary bathrooms, and improperly maintained resident rooms. Bathrooms contained strong odors, soiled items, and uncleanable surfaces, while common areas had visible debris and stains. Despite the facility's cleaning policy, these conditions persisted, indicating a failure to provide a safe, clean, and homelike environment for residents.
A resident with significant medical issues and existing skin impairments did not receive ongoing skin assessments or documentation after the initial days following admission. Despite a care plan and facility policies requiring regular skin monitoring and documentation, these actions were not carried out, resulting in a deficiency related to inadequate treatment and care according to orders and resident needs.
The facility did not maintain required skilled nursing documentation for several residents receiving skilled services. For example, a resident with multiple medical conditions had no skilled nursing or progress notes during their skilled service period, and another resident had incomplete skilled documentation, with notes missing after the initial days and no documentation regarding skin condition. The DON confirmed the absence and incompleteness of these records.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions was moved to a different room without proper documentation or notification to their representative. While a later room change was documented and communicated, the initial move lacked required notification, contrary to facility policy.
An LPN failed to perform hand hygiene and did not clean a blood pressure cuff after use on a resident under contact precautions for candida auris, then used the same equipment and continued care activities for another resident without proper infection control practices. Facility policy and CDC guidelines require hand hygiene and cleaning of reusable equipment between residents, which was not followed.
Failure to Maintain Clean, Sanitary, and Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean, comfortable, sanitary, and homelike environment across all four hallways and the dining room, as evidenced by multiple observations of uncleanliness, disrepair, and unsanitary conditions. Surveyors observed an empty, unlocked, and visibly dirty treatment cart parked in the dining room, with crumbs, stains, and debris on and around it. The dining room floor and surrounding areas were also noted to be unclean and scuffed. In several resident rooms, closet doors were off their tracks or not properly installed, walls had unfinished or unpainted patches, and floors were stained or had uncleanable surfaces. In one room, a resident identified a stained and unmovable doorstop and bolt on the floor, while another room had piles of black dirt under the window sill with multiple potted plants above. Shared bathrooms between resident rooms were found to be odorous of urine or bowel, with strong smells detected even before entering. Observations included gaps between flooring and toilets filled with cracked silicone, stained and dirty floors, towels with brown substances, and unlabeled wash basins left on the floor. In some bathrooms, trash cans contained soiled incontinent briefs, and toilets were found with yellow or brown liquids and splattered seats. Items such as plungers and containers were left on the floor or on the back of toilets, and privacy curtains were not fully hooked. Residents reported using these bathrooms with staff assistance, and in one case, a resident believed only a subset of assigned residents used a particularly odorous bathroom. Common areas and additional resident rooms also exhibited deficiencies, such as black stains on lobby floors, overturned medication cups, and unprotected personal hygiene items left on dressers. Housekeepers were present in the dining room during some observations, but issues persisted throughout the day, including the continued presence of debris and stains. The facility's environmental policy outlined daily and weekly cleaning tasks, infection control protocols, and staff responsibilities, but the observed conditions indicated these procedures were not consistently followed, resulting in an environment that did not meet regulatory standards for cleanliness and homelikeness.
Failure to Perform Ongoing Skin Assessments and Documentation
Penalty
Summary
A resident with multiple complex medical conditions, including metabolic encephalopathy, dementia, and a history of falls, was admitted with existing skin impairments such as a scalp scab and bilateral upper extremity bruises. Initial assessments and skilled documentation noted these skin issues for several days following admission. However, after a certain date, there were no further skilled notes or documentation regarding the resident's skin condition, and no weekly skin checks were performed as required. The resident's care plan identified a risk for skin impairment and included interventions such as monitoring and observing the skin during routine care and notifying a nurse of any concerns. Despite these interventions, the facility failed to continue regular skin assessments and documentation after the initial period. The facility's own policies required ongoing skin monitoring, documentation of changes, and communication among the care team, but these procedures were not followed for this resident.
Failure to Maintain Required Skilled Nursing Documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain medical records in accordance with accepted professional standards for residents receiving skilled services. For one resident admitted with multiple diagnoses including a femur fracture, history of falls, hypertension, anemia, urine retention, and weakness, there were no skilled nursing notes or skilled progress notes documented during the period skilled services were provided. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that there should have been daily skilled nursing documentation for each day the resident received skilled services, but none were found in the assessment or progress notes sections of the medical record. Another resident, admitted with diagnoses such as metabolic encephalopathy, scalp contusion, history of falls, necrotizing enterocolitis, dementia with mood disturbance, and other conditions, also lacked complete skilled documentation. Skilled notes were only present for the first four days of skilled services, with no further skilled notes or documentation regarding skin condition for the remainder of the skilled service period. The DON acknowledged that the documentation was incomplete for the duration of the skilled services provided.
Failure to Notify Resident Representative of Room Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to promptly notify the resident representative of a room change for one resident. The resident, who had a history of left femur fracture, falls, hypertension, anemia, urine retention, and weakness, was assessed as moderately cognitively impaired. On one occasion, the resident was moved from one room to another, but there was no documentation in the progress notes or on the Room Change Notification form regarding this move. The Social Services Director (SSD) confirmed that the room change was not documented and stated that if she did not perform the move, someone else may have done so without completing the required notification. Further review showed that while a subsequent room change was properly documented, including notification to the resident and their representative, the initial room change lacked any record of notification or documentation. The facility's policy requires advance notice and documentation of room changes for residents and their representatives, but this was not followed for the room change in question.
Failure to Follow Hand Hygiene and Equipment Cleaning Protocols
Penalty
Summary
A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) failed to follow standard infection control practices during the care of two residents, one of whom was under contact precautions for candida auris and the other for a urinary infection. The LPN entered a resident's room with contact precaution signage, used a blood pressure cuff on the resident, touched the bed's footboard, and then exited the room without performing hand hygiene or cleaning the blood pressure cuff. The blood pressure cuff was placed on the medication cart and later moved to another location without being disinfected. The LPN continued to interact with other staff, access the wound care cart, and begin medication administration for another resident, all without performing hand hygiene between tasks or after glove removal. Facility policy requires hand hygiene before and after direct resident contact, after glove removal, and after contact with resident care equipment. The LPN repeatedly failed to perform hand hygiene at required intervals, including before and after entering isolation rooms, after removing gloves, and after using shared equipment. Additionally, the blood pressure cuff, a non-critical reusable item, was not cleaned or disinfected between residents as required by facility policy and CDC guidelines. These actions were confirmed through observation, interview with the Director of Nursing, and review of facility policies.
