Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Suwannee Valley Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to properly label and store food items in the kitchen. During an inspection, thirteen bags of various frozen meats were found without identifying labels, and one bag of chicken was left open, exposing it to freezer burn. The CDM confirmed these issues, which were not in compliance with the facility's Date Marking for Food Safety policy.
An LPN failed to perform proper hand hygiene and infection control during medication administration for a resident. After cleaning the resident's eyes, the LPN did not change gloves or wash hands before administering medications through a G-tube, and used a gloved finger to mix medication. This was against the facility's policies on hand hygiene and infection prevention.
The facility failed to ensure accurate resident assessments for two residents using CPAP machines. Both residents were observed and confirmed using CPAP machines, but their MDS Quarterly assessments documented otherwise. The MDS Coordinator confirmed these discrepancies.
The facility failed to ensure an attending practitioner's orders for CPAP/BIPAP devices for a resident with CHF, COPD, and Pulmonary Edema. The resident had a CPAP machine in his room, but no orders were documented, and the care plan indicated monitoring Bi-Pap use. The DON confirmed the lack of current orders, and no policy on physician's orders was provided during the survey.
Improper Food Labeling and Storage in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper labeling and storage of food items in the kitchen, as observed during an inspection. During the initial tour of the kitchen, it was noted that there were thirteen bags of various frozen meats without identifying labels. Additionally, one bag of chicken was found left open, exposing the product to ice particle buildup and the appearance of freezer burn. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) confirmed these observations. The facility's policy on Date Marking for Food Safety, revised in January 2025, requires a color-coded label, the day/date of opening, and the day/date the item must be consumed or discarded, which was not adhered to in this instance.
Inadequate Hand Hygiene During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene and infection control practices during medication administration for a resident. During an observation, an LPN prepared medications for a resident, including using Baby Shampoo on a wet washcloth to clean the resident's eyelids. The LPN did not remove her gloves or perform hand hygiene after cleaning the resident's eyes and before administering medications through the resident's gastrostomy tube. Additionally, the LPN used her gloved finger to stir a crushed pill of Amlodipine mixed with water before administering it through the G-tube. The facility's policies on medication administration, infection prevention, and hand hygiene were not followed. The LPN acknowledged that she should have washed her hands and changed her gloves after cleaning the resident's eyes and before administering medications. The Director of Nursing confirmed that for a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions, the nurse should wash hands and change gloves before administering medications through a gastric tube and should use a spoon to mix medications. The facility's policies emphasize the importance of hand hygiene to prevent contamination and infection, which were not adhered to in this instance.
Inaccurate Resident Assessments for Respiratory Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that resident assessments accurately reflected the residents' status for two residents reviewed for respiratory care. Resident #1, who was admitted with diagnoses including COPD and OSA, confirmed during an interview that she was still using her CPAP machine, which was observed on her nightstand. However, her MDS Quarterly assessment documented that she was not using a CPAP machine. Similarly, Resident #5, who was readmitted with diagnoses including CHF, COPD, and Pulmonary Edema, was observed with a CPAP machine on his nightstand and confirmed its use during an interview. Despite this, his MDS Quarterly assessment also documented that he was not using a CPAP machine. The MDS Coordinator confirmed the discrepancies in the assessments for both residents.
Failure to Ensure Physician's Orders for CPAP/BIPAP Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure an attending practitioner's orders and indication of use for CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or BIPAP (Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure) devices for one resident reviewed for respiratory care services. Resident #5, who was readmitted to the facility with diagnoses including CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and Pulmonary Edema, had a CPAP machine observed on the nightstand next to his bed. However, there were no physician's orders for the use or care of the CPAP machine documented as of 5/21/24. The resident confirmed the CPAP machine belonged to him. The care plan dated 7/25/22 indicated monitoring the use of a Bi-Pap machine as ordered, but the Director of Nursing confirmed that no current orders existed for the CPAP or BIPAP machine. Additionally, a policy on physician's orders was not provided during the survey.
