Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pine Knoll Path Of Journey Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that staff did not consistently label, date, or discard expired and opened food items in both refrigerated and dry storage areas, and did not always follow recipes for pureed foods. Expired and unlabeled foods were observed, and the CDM confirmed that staff were responsible for these tasks but had not followed procedures, potentially affecting 102 residents on oral diets.
Staff did not consistently perform hand hygiene when entering and exiting resident rooms, despite being trained and having access to operational hand sanitizer dispensers. Multiple CNAs admitted to forgetting hand hygiene during care, and the facility's policy requiring hand hygiene to prevent infection was not followed.
Failure to Properly Label, Date, and Discard Food Items in Storage
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified that the facility failed to follow its own policies regarding the labeling, dating, and discarding of food items in both refrigerated and dry storage areas. During multiple observations, expired food items such as pasta salad, lemon tea thickener, and cut lettuce were found in the walk-in refrigerator. Additionally, several food items, including tomato bisque soup, waffles, broccoli florets, chicken patties, and cornbread stuffing, were found either unsealed, undated, or unlabeled. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) confirmed that all staff were responsible for labeling and dating items before storage, but these procedures were not consistently followed. Further observations revealed that posted menus were out of date and that alternate menus were being offered. The CDM also acknowledged the use of Styrofoam takeout containers due to a broken dishwasher, with maintenance responsible for ordering the necessary part. The facility's policy required the use of the FIFO (first in, first out) method for food storage, but this was not consistently implemented. These deficiencies had the potential to affect 102 residents receiving an oral diet.
Failure to Ensure Consistent Hand Hygiene by Staff
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to consistently perform proper hand hygiene during resident care, as observed on multiple occasions. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were seen entering and exiting resident rooms without using the alcohol-based hand sanitizer dispensers, which were operational and adequately supplied. One CNA entered a room in response to a call light without performing hand hygiene, while another left and re-entered a room with clean linens without using hand sanitizer. A third CNA also entered a resident's room without hand hygiene. These lapses occurred despite the facility's policy requiring hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. Interviews with the involved CNAs revealed that they had received in-service training on hand hygiene from the Infection Preventionist (IP) nurse and were aware of the facility's expectations. However, they admitted to sometimes forgetting to perform hand hygiene, especially when in a hurry. The IP nurse and Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that staff had been instructed on proper hand hygiene procedures, including the use of soap and water after personal care and alcohol gel when entering and exiting resident rooms.
