Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at University Nursing & Rehab Ctr during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain kitchen cleanliness, risking food contamination for 97 residents. Observations revealed missing tiles, grime buildup, and unsecured fixtures. The Dietary Manager and Corporate Maintenance Director were unclear on cleaning responsibilities, and the facility had frequent Maintenance Director turnover. The cleaning schedule and contract did not address these issues.
The facility failed to maintain a safe and homelike environment due to unresolved maintenance issues in several rooms. These included a missing handrail end, burnt-out call light bulbs, lack of call light access, non-functional bed lights, and missing window screens. High turnover in the Maintenance Director position contributed to these deficiencies.
The facility failed to provide adequate nail care for two residents, leading to unmet care needs. One resident, with conditions including hypertension and cerebellar stroke syndrome, had excessively long nails despite expressing a desire for them to be trimmed. Another resident, with cerebral infarction and type two diabetes, was found with long nails, chipped polish, and debris. Staff interviews revealed that CNAs were primarily responsible for nail care during showers, but all staff were expected to assist, indicating a systemic failure in providing necessary personal care.
Facility Fails to Maintain Kitchen Cleanliness, Risking Food Contamination
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the cleanliness of the kitchen, which could potentially lead to contaminated food being served to 97 of 102 residents receiving an oral diet. During an initial tour of the kitchen, several issues were observed, including missing tiles on the dish room floor, a black substance on the wall underneath the counter, and a buildup of grime on a plastic cover over clean baking pans. Additionally, the air conditioning unit and fans in the kitchen had a heavy buildup of dust, dirt, and grime, and a wall plug near the dish room was unsecured and lacked a cover plate. The Dietary Manager acknowledged these issues, noting that the wall needed replacement and that the facility had been without a Maintenance Director for months. A second tour of the kitchen revealed that the previously identified conditions remained unchanged, and additional issues were noted, such as a metal apparatus with a heavy buildup of grease and grime and walls with peeling paint and black substances. The cleaning schedule provided by the Dietary Manager did not include the items identified during the tours, and there was confusion about the responsibilities for cleaning between the kitchen staff and the Maintenance Director. Interviews with the Corporate Maintenance Director and the Administrator highlighted a lack of clarity and continuity in maintenance responsibilities, with the facility having had three Maintenance Directors in four months. The contract for kitchen staff cleaning responsibilities failed to address the identified concerns.
Facility Maintenance Deficiencies Affect Resident Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for its residents, as evidenced by several maintenance issues observed in five of the 49 rooms. These issues included a missing handrail end outside one room, which exposed a sharp edge that could potentially cause injuries. Additionally, the call light bulb outside another room was burnt out, preventing staff from knowing if residents in that room needed assistance unless they were at the nurses' station. In another instance, a resident did not have access to a call light, relying on their roommate to signal for help. Furthermore, a resident's bed light had been non-functional for two months, and the window in their room was obscured by a film-like substance, hindering visibility outside. Other deficiencies included the absence of window screens in two rooms, which led to one room having leaves and dead bugs on the windowsill, while the other resident expressed a desire for fresh air but was unable to open the window. Interviews with the Corporate Maintenance Director and the Administrator revealed that the facility had experienced high turnover in the Maintenance Director position, with three different individuals occupying the role in four months, contributing to the unresolved maintenance issues.
Failure to Provide Adequate Nail Care for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate nail care for two residents, leading to unmet care needs. Resident 85, who was admitted with conditions including hypertension and cerebellar stroke syndrome, was observed with excessively long fingernails and toenails, despite expressing a desire for them to be trimmed. The resident's care plan indicated resistance to care, but also emphasized the need for providing choices during care provision. Observations over two days confirmed that the resident's nails remained untrimmed, and a Licensed Practical Nurse acknowledged the need for trimming. Resident 8, admitted with diagnoses such as cerebral infarction and type two diabetes, was also found with long fingernails and toenails, chipped nail polish, and debris under the nails. The resident's care plan noted difficulties in performing daily living tasks. Observations confirmed the lack of nail care over several days, and interviews with staff, including a CNA and LPN, revealed that CNAs were primarily responsible for nail care during showers, but all staff were expected to assist with residents' needs. The Director of Nursing reiterated this responsibility, highlighting a systemic failure in providing necessary personal care.
