Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at East Cobb Center For Nursing And Healing Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Food Storage, Sanitation, and Temperature Control Deficiencies: Expired food items were found in the kitchen dry storage and refrigerator, an opened bag of frozen chicken was unlabeled, and the kitchen ice machine had black buildup under the dispenser cover. A resident’s personal refrigerator also contained expired cream cheese, had a foul odor, and showed black buildup and ice-like growth in the freezer. During a tray check, the FSD measured hot items below the expected temperature and a cold fruit parfait above the expected cold holding range.
Failure to assess two residents for self-administration of medications. One resident with COPD and moderate cognitive impairment had a bottle of nasal mist on the nightstand without any documented self-administration assessment or order, and an LPN confirmed he was not supposed to have it. Another cognitively intact resident with a healing femur fracture had wound care ointment in the room without any self-administration assessment, and the DON stated the ointment and nasal mist should not have been in the residents' rooms.
A resident with COVID-19, COPD, CHF, and SOB was receiving continuous O2, but the tubing was too short for her to move around her room or go to the bathroom. She reported requesting a longer tube and not receiving it, which led her to remove the O2 during those activities; she was observed becoming out of breath after using the bathroom. The ADON stated she was unaware of the request, and supply ordering was handled by the Central Supply Coordinator.
A resident with diabetes and an insulin order received Humalog from a vial labeled for another resident during observed med pass. The RN confirmed the insulin came from the wrong resident’s vial, and the DON stated insulin was expected to be administered from a box/vial labeled for that specific resident.
Improper Storage of Incentive Spirometer: A resident with COPD and moderate cognitive impairment had an incentive spirometer observed on the nightstand and not properly bagged while not in use. The UM initially stated the device did not need to be bagged, then later confirmed with the RT that it was supposed to be bagged. The DON stated respiratory equipment was supposed to be bagged for infection control and checked by the CNA during rounds.
Food Storage, Sanitation, and Temperature Control Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
Expired food items were found in the facility kitchen and dry storage during an initial tour observation. Two containers of thickened lemon-flavored water with expiration dates of 7/14/2025 were observed in dry storage, and another opened and used container of the same item with the same expiration date was found in the refrigerator. An opened and unlabeled bag of chicken tenders was also observed in the freezer. The Food Service Director confirmed the expired items and the unlabeled frozen food, and stated that staff were expected to rotate food using a first-in, first-out approach when deliveries arrived twice weekly, while also acknowledging responsibility to double-check food items. The kitchen ice machine was observed with a black substance buildup under the ice dispenser cover. The Food Service Director confirmed it should be cleaned and stated that Maintenance was responsible for cleaning the ice machine. The Director of Maintenance later stated he was responsible for cleaning the kitchen ice machines and that he performed cleaning quarterly by flushing the machine with hot water and using disinfecting wipes, but when shown the buildup he stated he had never cleaned that area. The Administrator stated that day-to-day supervision in the kitchen was expected to ensure items were labeled and dated appropriately, and that kitchen staff would begin checking off on ice machine cleaning. A resident's personal refrigerator contained three tubs of cream cheese with expiration dates of 7/31/2025, 8/9/2025, and 8/14/2025, and a foul smell was noted when it was opened. The freezer portion also had a black substance buildup on the tray and ice-like growth surrounding items. The resident stated staff cleaned the refrigerator once a week and that she was bedridden and relied on staff to maintain it. The DON confirmed the expired cream cheese was removed and acknowledged the buildup in the refrigerator and freezer. Staff interviews showed differing views on responsibility for checking and cleaning resident refrigerators, with some stating nursing or CNAs were responsible and others stating housekeeping shared the task. During a tray observation, a test tray served fried chicken, tater tots, green beans, and a cold fruit parfait; the FSD measured the fried chicken at 141 degrees F, the tater tots at 123 degrees F, the green beans at 145 degrees F, and the fruit parfait at 43 degrees F. The FSD stated cold foods should be 32 to 41 degrees F and hot foods at least 135 degrees F, and confirmed the cold parfait and hot tater tots were not served at appropriate temperatures.
Failure to Assess Residents for Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adequately assess two residents for self-administration of medication. The facility's policy required the interdisciplinary team to determine whether self-administration was clinically appropriate and to document the assessment in the resident's record. Review of the electronic medical record showed that one resident was admitted with COPD, had a quarterly MDS BIMS score of 12 indicating moderate cognitive impairment, had no care plan documentation for self-administration, no physician's orders for nasal mist, and no self-administration assessment in the record. During observation, the resident had a bottle of nasal mist on the nightstand and stated he used it when congested, and an LPN confirmed he had not been assessed for self-administration and was not supposed to have it. A second resident was admitted with a displaced comminuted fracture of the shaft of the right femur and had a quarterly MDS BIMS score of 15 indicating cognitive intactness. The resident's care plan and EMR contained no documentation or assessment for self-administration of medication. During observation, the resident had triad hydrophilic wound dressing on the nightstand, and an LPN confirmed the resident had not been assessed for self-administration. The DON stated the wound care ointment and nasal mist should not have been in the residents' rooms and that nurses, unit managers, and department heads were responsible for rounds to ensure these items were not present.
Failure to Provide Requested O2 Tubing Extension
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide oxygen tubing extensions for a resident receiving O2 therapy. The resident had diagnoses of COVID-19, COPD, CHF, and shortness of breath, and the quarterly MDS documented intact cognition with a BIMS score of 15. The care plan indicated the resident was to receive continuous O2, later revised to 2 L via nasal cannula every shift. During observation and interview, the resident stated the O2 tubing was too short and caused her to remove it when going to the bathroom or moving around her room. She reported that she had requested a longer tube 12 days earlier but had not received it. On a later observation, the resident still had not received the extended tubing and continued to remove the O2 when going to the bathroom because the tubing did not reach. The resident stated she became out of breath after using the bathroom and returned to her wheelchair. The ADON stated she was unaware the resident had requested extended O2 tubing, and said the Central Supply Coordinator completed ordering of medical supplies.
Insulin Administered From Another Resident’s Vial
Penalty
Summary
Safe medication administration practices were not ensured for one resident receiving insulin. The resident had diagnoses including acute kidney failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and the MDS indicated a BIMS score of 15, showing little to no cognitive impairment. The care plan documented diabetes mellitus and current orders for insulin therapy, including a physician order for Humalog injection solution 100 units/mL to be given by sliding scale before meals and at bedtime. During medication administration observation, an RN gave 4 units of Humalog insulin to the resident from a medication box/vial labeled with another resident's name. When interviewed shortly afterward, the RN confirmed that the Humalog insulin had been administered from a vial that was not prescribed for that resident. The DON stated that insulin was expected to be administered from a box/vial labeled for that specific resident.
Improper Storage of Incentive Spirometer
Penalty
Summary
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program was not ensured when R60’s incentive spirometer was observed not properly bagged while not in use. R60 was admitted with COPD and had a quarterly MDS BIMS score of 12, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. During observations on 8/19/2025 and 8/20/2025, the incentive spirometer was seen on the nightstand and not properly bagged. During interview, the Unit Manager initially stated the device did not need to be bagged and that it was okay to be on the nightstand, then later stated she checked with the Respiratory Therapist and confirmed it was supposed to be properly bagged when not in use. The DON confirmed that respiratory equipment was supposed to be bagged for infection control purposes and stated respiratory items were supposed to be checked by the CNA during rounds.
