Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Chaplinwood Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors identified several expired food items, including jelly, pecans, tuna, cocoa mix, and gelatin, stored in the kitchen. Staff interviews confirmed that expired food should be discarded according to facility policy, but these items remained available for use.
Surveyors found that PTAC units in two rooms were not properly maintained, with one filter covered in a thick gray substance and another unit containing black debris. The Maintenance Director confirmed the findings and reported that cleaning was performed monthly, as did the Administrator. This resulted in unsanitary conditions for residents in those rooms.
A resident with multiple medical conditions and no significant cognitive impairment requested a sleep aid medication, reporting poor sleep to staff. Although an LPN was aware of the request, the provider was not notified due to the nurse forgetting. The ADON confirmed that staff are expected to address such requests promptly, but this did not occur, resulting in the resident's care preferences not being honored.
A resident with significant cardiac conditions and dependence in ADLs had a BiPAP mask left on top of the machine on the bedside table instead of being stored in a protective bag as required. Staff and the DON confirmed the mask was not stored properly, despite facility expectations for protective storage of respiratory equipment.
Expired Food Items Found in Kitchen Storage
Penalty
Summary
During a kitchen tour, surveyors observed multiple food items in storage that were past their expiration dates, including jars of grape jelly, bags of pecan pieces, chunk light tuna, hot cocoa mix, and various flavors of gelatin. The facility's policy required all items to be inspected upon receipt and marked with both the date received and the discard or expiration date, with expired items to be discarded promptly. Staff interviews confirmed that expired food should be removed during inventory checks, and the Dietary Manager acknowledged the presence of expired items, stating they should have been discarded. The Administrator also confirmed the expectation that dietary staff discard food items on or before their expiration date. These findings indicated that expired foods were available for use, contrary to facility policy.
Failure to Maintain Clean PTAC Units in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner (PTAC) units in two rooms on the 300 Hall were not properly maintained, with one unit displaying a thick gray substance on the filter and another containing a black substance with debris inside the unit. These observations were made on two separate dates. During interviews, the Maintenance Director confirmed the presence of these substances and stated that the units were cleaned monthly. The Administrator also indicated that maintenance staff were expected to check PTAC filters and units once a month and as needed. The failure to maintain clean PTAC filters and units resulted in unsanitary conditions in the affected rooms, which had the potential to impact the living environment for residents occupying those rooms.
Failure to Address Resident's Request for Sleep Aid Medication
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when staff failed to honor a resident's request for a sleep aid medication. The resident, who had a history of cerebral infarction, epilepsy, delirium, dementia, psychotic disturbance, mood disturbance, and anxiety, was assessed as having little to no cognitive impairment and exhibited no behavioral issues. Despite expressing to staff that he needed medication to help him sleep and reporting poor sleep, there were no physician orders for sleep aid medication in his record. The resident stated he had informed staff of his need, but his request was not addressed. An LPN acknowledged being aware of the resident's request for a sleep aid but admitted that the provider was not notified because she became busy and forgot. The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that staff are expected to address such requests at the time they are made and that the nurse should have notified the physician. This failure to act on the resident's expressed preference and request for care was not in accordance with the facility's policy on honoring patient rights and personal choices.
Improper Storage of BiPAP Mask for Resident Receiving Respiratory Therapy
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to properly store a BiPAP respiratory therapy mask for a resident with multiple cardiac diagnoses and dependence in activities of daily living. The resident's care plan and physician orders indicated the use of a BiPAP device at bedtime. Observations on multiple occasions revealed the BiPAP mask was left lying on top of the machine on the bedside table, rather than being stored in a protective bag as required. During interviews, both a registered nurse and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the mask was not stored appropriately and acknowledged that the expectation was for respiratory masks to be kept in protective bags when not in use.
