Health deficiencies cited at Marietta Center For Nursing And Healing during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Staff did not label or date multiple opened food items in dry storage and the walk-in refrigerator, and a dented can was returned to storage after being used to prop open a door. The Director of Dietary confirmed that required labeling and dating procedures were not followed and that a dented can was improperly stored with other food items.
Staff did not keep dumpster side doors closed or maintain cleanliness around the dumpsters, resulting in open dumpsters and trash debris on the ground. Multiple staff confirmed the issue and acknowledged responsibility for ensuring proper disposal and area cleanliness.
The facility did not maintain safe water temperatures in one shower room, with observed readings exceeding 120°F. Staff interviews revealed inconsistent monitoring practices and recent equipment changes that contributed to temperature fluctuations. No residents reported concerns or injuries related to hot water temperatures.
A resident with acute conjunctivitis was placed on Contact Precautions with orders for antibiotic eye drops. An LPN was observed entering the resident's room twice without wearing required PPE, despite facility policy mandating PPE use for all interactions involving residents on Contact Precautions. The LPN stated PPE was only needed when providing direct care, while both the IP and DON confirmed that PPE should be used for all care involving residents on isolation.
Failure to Label, Date, and Properly Store Opened Food Items and Remove Dented Cans
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to follow facility policies regarding the labeling and dating of opened food items in both the dry storage area and the walk-in refrigerator. Observations revealed multiple opened food items, including a five-pound bag of egg noodles, a packet of ham slices, a container of chopped lettuce, a bag of parsley, an open box of instant mashed potatoes, two open bags of grits, and an open package of gravy mix, all lacking required labels or open dates. Additionally, a large can of Northern Beans with a dent on the bottom seal was found stored on the food storage rack, and it was confirmed that the can had been used to prop open a door and was returned to storage after being dented. Interviews with the Director of Dietary (DD) confirmed that staff did not consistently label or date opened food items as required by facility policy. The DD acknowledged that the can of beans should not have been returned to storage after being dented and that the labeling and dating of food items were not being properly enforced. The DD also stated that he did not expect staff to date individual items stored in a clear plastic bin under the food preparation table, although there was no label on the bin itself. Another dietary staff member confirmed that he did not remove any stickers from the bin and did not notice any labels present.
Failure to Properly Dispose of Garbage and Maintain Dumpster Area
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to ensure that the side doors of two dumpsters were kept closed and that the area surrounding the dumpsters was free from trash debris, as required by facility policy. Multiple observations over several days revealed that the side doors of the dumpsters were left open, exposing trash inside, and that the ground around the dumpsters contained various types of trash, including plastic water bottles, gloves, cups, paper, and plastic silverware. On one occasion, both dumpsters had all side doors open with trash bags spilling out onto the ground. Interviews with the Director of Dietary, Director of Maintenance, and Lead Housekeeper confirmed the observations and acknowledged that all staff were responsible for ensuring dumpster doors were closed and trash was contained. Housekeeping staff were specifically responsible for keeping the area around the dumpsters clean, but the Lead Housekeeper was unsure when this task was last completed. The facility census at the time was 124 residents.
Unsafe Water Temperatures in Shower Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain safe water temperatures in the South Hall Shower Room, resulting in water temperatures exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit. During an observation with the Maintenance Director, the shower water measured 122 degrees F and the sink measured 126 degrees F, both above the recommended maximum. The Maintenance Director stated he typically aimed to keep water temperatures between 106 and 108 degrees F and explained that temperature fluctuations might be due to the proximity of each hall to the water heaters. The Maintenance Director was not aware of any accidents related to hot water temperatures at the time of the observation. Further interviews revealed that the facility had recently changed a water heater and experienced issues with a mixing valve, which required readjustment. The VP of Property Management confirmed that water temperatures were monitored weekly and that staff checked nearby rooms to ensure compliance. The Administrator stated that staff performed daily spot checks rather than checking every fixture and acknowledged the potential for negative outcomes. No residents or grievance logs reported concerns or incidents related to hot water temperatures.
Failure to Use PPE for Resident on Contact Precautions
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to adhere to the facility's infection prevention and control policies regarding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for a resident on Contact Precautions. Specifically, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was observed entering the room of a resident diagnosed with unspecified acute conjunctivitis of the right eye, who had active orders for contact isolation and antibiotic eye drops, without donning the required PPE on two separate occasions. The facility's policies clearly state that staff must wear appropriate PPE, such as gowns and gloves, when entering the room of any resident on Contact Precautions or when there is a likelihood of exposure to potentially infectious materials. During interviews, the LPN expressed a misunderstanding of the policy, indicating that PPE was only necessary when providing direct care, such as administering eye drops, and not for every entry into the room. Both the Infection Preventionist and the Director of Nursing confirmed that their expectation is for staff to wear appropriate PPE whenever caring for residents on Contact Precautions. These observations and staff statements demonstrate a failure to consistently implement the facility's infection control policies, specifically regarding PPE use for residents on isolation precautions.
