Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at St Mark Village during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Food and related items were stored improperly in the main kitchen and two nourishment pantries. The walk-in refrigerator had dust and debris on the fan housing, the freezer had food and paper debris, and fish and ice cream were stored on the bare floor instead of on shelves. In the nourishment pantries, staff found unlabeled and undated food, employee lunch boxes, and multiple soft ice packs of unknown purpose in refrigerators/freezers intended for resident items only.
Failure to Notify LTC Ombudsman of Hospital Transfers: The facility did not provide the LTC Ombudsman with notice of a resident’s hospital transfer. Staff said they handled planned discharge notices but were unaware they had to notify the Ombudsman of unplanned transfers. A resident with worsening dyspnea and hypoxia was sent to the ED for acute care, but the transfer notice did not show Ombudsman notification, and the Ombudsman reported no notice was received.
Failure to provide hearing assistive devices and audiology follow-up for a resident with impaired hearing. A resident with dementia and cognitive communication deficit had documented hearing loss and a care plan calling for both hearing aids to be in place, but staff observed the resident struggling to hear, needing repeated communication, and requiring assistance to properly position the right hearing aid. Staff also confirmed the resident had not been referred for a follow-up audiology evaluation despite ongoing hearing difficulty.
Food Stored Improperly in Kitchen and Nourishment Pantries
Penalty
Summary
Food was not stored in a clean, safe, and sanitary manner in the main kitchen and in two nourishment pantries. During a tour of the main kitchen with the dietician and kitchen manager, the walk-in refrigerator was observed with dust and debris on the fan housing plate, and the fans were blowing air directly onto stored food items. The walk-in freezer contained various food and paper debris, and a shallow metal tray holding four clear plastic bags of frozen fish was placed on the bare floor instead of on an elevated shelf. The kitchen manager confirmed food should not be stored on the bare floor and stated all foods must be stored on shelves. In nourishment pantry #1 on the long-term side, three soft ice packs were found in the freezer, and the dietician and assistant dietary manager did not know why they were there or what they were used for. The refrigerator in that pantry contained two fabric lunch boxes belonging to nursing employees, an unlabeled and undated box of pizza with several slices, and two Styrofoam containers of unknown food items that were not labeled with contents or date. The dietician confirmed the containers should have been labeled, and the assistant dietary manager stated she had to discard items that were not dated or labeled with contents because they were from nursing staff and not for resident consumption. In nourishment pantry #2 near the rehabilitation nurse station, 18 soft ice packs were found in the freezer, and the dietician and assistant dietary manager were unsure why they were stored there or who placed them there. The rehabilitation director stated the nourishment pantry refrigerator and freezer were supposed to contain resident-oriented items only and not employee items, and she did not believe therapy staff used the ice packs for resident care. In the main kitchen freezer used for LTC, assisted living, and independent living meals, two large circular bins of ice cream were also observed stored on the bare floor, and the kitchen manager confirmed they should not have been stored there.
Failure to Notify LTC Ombudsman of Hospital Transfers
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide the representative of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman program with discharge notices for residents transferred to the hospital. During record review and interview, staff stated nursing staff completed documentation for unplanned hospital transfers and the Social Services Director handled notifications for planned discharges, but they were not aware of a responsibility to notify the LTC Ombudsman of hospital transfers. They also stated they notified the LTC Ombudsman for planned discharges but not for unplanned transfers and could not verify how many residents were affected. Resident #48 was admitted on 01/22/2026. A progress note dated 03/09/2026 documented worsening dyspnea with hypoxia and recommended immediate transfer to the emergency department for further evaluation and treatment. The Nursing Home Transfer and Discharge Notice dated 03/09/2026 stated the resident was transferred to the hospital because needs could not be met in the facility, with a brief explanation that acute care was required, but the notice did not show that the LTC Ombudsman had been notified. The LTC Ombudsman representative stated the facility typically sent a fax notice for resident transfers, but there was no indication their office was notified of this resident’s hospital transfer and no transfer notices had been received for residents transferred in March 2026.
Failure to Provide Hearing Assistive Devices and Audiology Follow-Up
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure hearing assistive devices were provided for one resident with documented hearing impairment. Resident #3 had diagnoses including cognitive communication deficit and unspecified dementia, and the MDS indicated moderate hearing loss with hearing aids, with staff needing to speak distinctly and increase volume. The care plan identified a communication problem related to impaired hearing and cognition and included interventions to ensure both hearing aids were in place and to speak clearly and more slowly. During observations, Resident #3 was found in bed and repeatedly asked for statements to be repeated, stating she could not hear and requesting staff speak into her right ear. A hearing aid was observed in place, but the resident reported her hearing aid had been replaced about four years earlier and that her hearing had not been evaluated since then, with staff not helping to schedule a follow-up audiology exam. On another observation, both hearing aids were present, but the right hearing aid was mispositioned in the outer upper ear lobe and required staff assistance for proper placement. Staff interviews confirmed the resident needed loud speech and repeated communication, and the SSD and DON stated the social services department was responsible for coordinating audiology appointments, yet the resident had not been referred for a follow-up audiology evaluation.
