Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pruitthealth - Forsyth during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Expired and damaged food items were found throughout kitchen storage areas, including juice, tortillas, chips, muffin mix, milk, apples, butter, and bacon past their expiration dates. A Dietary Aide was also observed using a dented can of sliced apples in muffins, and another dented can was found on a stockroom shelf. The facility’s policy required proper dating, FIFO rotation, and separate storage of bent or damaged cans.
An LPN was observed leaving an A-Hall med cart unsecured and unattended in a resident care area. The LPN confirmed the cart was unlocked and stated it should be locked immediately before walking away. The facility policy states meds and biologicals are to be stored safely and securely.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment, multiple medical diagnoses, and dependence for ADLs had a PEG tube for dysphagia and later pulled out a Foley catheter, causing urine leakage and preventing staff from obtaining a urine specimen due to the resident’s uncooperative behavior. Progress notes documented behavioral issues and device interference, and leadership interviews confirmed that staff are expected to notify resident representatives of changes in condition, including behavior changes, hospitalizations, and device placements or issues. However, the facility did not notify the resident’s representative of these changes in condition, resulting in a failure to provide required notification of change.
Expired and Damaged Food Items Found in Storage and Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to discard expired food items in accordance with its policy titled, Receipt and Storage of Food and Supplies. During the initial tour, expired food products were observed in multiple storage areas, including four cartons of apple juice, six packs of flour tortillas, six bags of tortilla chips, three boxes of muffin mix, 38 half-pint chocolate milks, a box of apples, a bag of butter, and two packages of Canadian style bacon. These items had expiration dates ranging from 11/25/2025 to 05/14/2026 and were found in the dry storage area, refrigerator, walk-in cooler, and walk-in freezer. On a later inspection, a Dietary Aide was observed using a dented 104 oz. can of sliced apples in muffins, and the aide stated he had overlooked the dent in the can. Another dented can of sliced apples was also found on a stockroom shelf in the dry storage area. The facility policy stated that supplies should be labeled and dated, the FIFO method should be used, and bent or damaged cans should not be stored with other supplies.
Unsecured Medication Cart Observed in Resident Care Area
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly lock and secure one of two medication carts, identified as the A-Hall and C-Hall carts, in accordance with its policy on medication storage. The cited deficiency was based on observations, staff interviews, and review of the facility policy titled, Medication Storage in Healthcare Center. During an interview and observation on 05/15/2026 at 7:31 AM, an LPN was observed coming out of a resident room and confirmed that the A-Hall medication cart was unsecured and unattended in the resident care area. The LPN also stated that the medication cart should be locked immediately before walking away.
Failure to Notify Resident Representative of Change in Condition
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to notify a resident representative of a change in condition for one resident. The resident was admitted with acute respiratory failure with hypoxia, thrombocytopenia, unspecified dementia with severely impaired cognitive skills for daily decision-making, and unspecified encephalopathy, and was dependent for ADLs and mobility. The resident had a PEG tube for dysphagia with orders for continuous Glucerna tube feeding and tube flushes, and the care plan included notifying the MD of any problems. Progress notes documented that the resident was restless, agitated, attempting to get out of bed, and pulling on the G-tube tubing. A subsequent note documented that the resident pulled out a Foley catheter with the bulb intact, resulting in a large amount of urine on the bed, and that staff were unable to obtain a urine specimen due to the resident’s uncooperative behavior. Record review showed the resident was later discharged from the facility, and a complainant reported that the resident was still in the hospital, though no further information was provided. During interviews, the Director of Health Services stated there was no notification of change policy and confirmed that staff should notify the resident representative of falls, behavior changes, hospitalization, abuse and neglect, resident decline, changes in medication, and placement of devices such as a Foley catheter or IV. The administrator similarly stated that a change in condition, including Foley placement, should be reported to the resident representative and followed up with a progress note. Despite these expectations, the facility failed to provide notification of change to the resident’s representative for this resident, constituting the cited deficiency.
