Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Parkview Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Several residents with intact cognition reported ongoing problems with flies in their rooms, using makeshift barriers and fly swatters to cope. Flies were observed in resident rooms and on dining tables during meals, and a large uncovered trash can with food waste was noted in the dining area. Staff and pest control records indicated monthly pest management focused on other pests, and at least one bug trap was not functioning properly, contributing to the persistent fly issue.
During a meal service, the facility did not serve garlic toast as required by the posted menu, and no bread substitute was provided. This affected two residents on therapeutic diets, including one with severe cognitive impairment and another with diabetes, both of whom did not receive the bread component of their meal. Staff interviews confirmed the omission was due to supply issues, and the facility's policy to provide a balanced diet was not followed.
The facility served a vegetable dish that was mushy and heavily seasoned, with staff admitting to not measuring seasonings and residents reporting the food was too peppery or unpalatable. Observations and interviews confirmed that the vegetables did not meet palatability standards, and some residents left the dish uneaten.
The facility did not procure food from approved or satisfactory sources and failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food according to professional standards.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment had conflicting code status documentation, with the EHR indicating Full Code and a binder at the nurses' station showing DNR. Staff relied on either source for information, leading to inconsistency in honoring the resident's advance directives.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses experienced a significant weight gain of 22 lbs. over two months. Despite a nutritional assessment noting the gain and recommending changes, there was no documentation that the provider was notified, contrary to facility policy and staff expectations.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and depression was not provided with an ongoing program of activities based on their preferences and needs. Documentation showed limited participation in exercise and one-on-one visits, with no evidence that other available activities were offered. Staff interviews confirmed activity offerings were restricted due to staffing limitations.
Cognitively impaired, independently mobile residents were left unsupervised in a memory care unit day room where unsecured medications and chemicals, including a staff member's ibuprofen and furniture polish, were accessible. A resident with severe cognitive impairment was observed accessing a cubby containing these items without staff present, contrary to facility policy requiring such hazards to be locked away.
Two residents with severe cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions were not offered or documented as having received the annual influenza vaccine, despite facility policy and documented consent. The DON was unable to explain the oversight during staff interview.
A resident with severely impaired cognition was observed with torn clothing, exposing an incontinence brief, indicating a failure to ensure proper clothing fit and repair. Staff interviews confirmed the resident's need for new clothing, but there was no formal system to assess clothing needs for cognitively impaired residents. The facility lacked documentation and follow-up with the resident's Power of Attorney regarding clothing needs.
The facility did not employ a Certified Dietary Manager to oversee food and nutrition services. The Dietary Supervisor, responsible for these functions, had not completed the necessary certification despite enrolling in the program over a year ago. The Administrator confirmed the absence of a certified manager, acknowledging the Dietary Supervisor's ongoing certification process.
A resident experienced a decline in health after a fall resulting in a fractured right femur. Despite complaints of stomach discomfort, constipation, and distention, there were delays and inadequacies in care. Staff documented symptoms and attempted interventions such as suppositories and enemas, but faced challenges with medication availability and effectiveness. The resident was found to be impacted, leading to the removal of a large amount of hardened stool by an LPN. The resident continued to experience discomfort and vomiting, with subsequent orders for medications like Zofran and Miralax. As the condition deteriorated, staff observed signs of distress, including a distended abdomen, emesis, altered mental status, lethargy, difficulty staying upright, and mottling in extremities. Vital signs showed low blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels. Despite these signs, there were delays in escalating care, and the resident was sent to the hospital only after a significant health decline.
The facility failed to control a rodent infestation, with staff and residents reporting frequent sightings of mice and droppings in resident rooms and the kitchen area. Despite contacting a pest control provider, the issue persisted, particularly in rooms where residents brought in food and did not allow regular cleaning.
Failure to Maintain Pest-Free Environment in Resident and Dining Areas
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an environment free from pests, specifically houseflies, in both resident rooms and the dining area. Multiple residents with intact cognition reported ongoing issues with flies in their rooms, with one resident using a bed pad to block the door crack and another keeping a fly swatter nearby. Residents described frequent encounters with flies, particularly during the summer months, and expressed frustration with the persistent presence of flies. Observations confirmed flies in resident rooms and on dining room tables during meal times. Additionally, a large trash can in the dining area was found uncovered and containing food waste, which could attract pests. Facility records showed that pest control services were provided monthly, but the focus appeared to be on spiders, ants, and mice, with no specific mention of flies as a target pest. Staff interviews revealed that fluorescent light bug traps were in use, but at least one trap in the dining room required a new bulb, and staff relied on visual cues to determine when bulbs needed replacement. The facility's pest control policy required ongoing pest management, window screening, and prompt trash removal, but observations and interviews indicated lapses in these practices, contributing to the continued presence of flies in resident areas.
Failure to Follow Menu and Provide Required Bread Item During Meal Service
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow its posted menu for a lunch meal, resulting in the omission of garlic toast, a required menu item, for all residents, including two residents on therapeutic diets. Observations revealed that during meal preparation and service, dietary staff did not prepare or serve garlic toast as listed on the menu, nor did they provide a bread substitute. Staff interviews confirmed that garlic toast was not served due to supply issues, and no alternative was consistently provided. The Dietary Manager acknowledged the omission and indicated that supply shortages sometimes led to menu substitutions, but these were not always implemented. Two residents were specifically affected: one with severe cognitive impairment and a risk for weight loss, and another with moderate cognitive impairment and diabetes requiring a therapeutic diet. Both residents received their meals without the bread component as specified in the menu, and neither was offered a substitute. The facility's policy requires that residents receive a nourishing, well-balanced diet that meets their nutritional and special dietary needs, which was not met in this instance.
Unpalatable and Overseasoned Vegetables Served to Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a palatable vegetable during one observed meal, as evidenced by the serving of a California mix vegetable dish that was primarily broccoli, which was soft, mushy, and heavily seasoned with black pepper. Staff interviews revealed that the cook did not follow a measured recipe for seasoning, instead sprinkling and tasting the seasoning blend, which may have resulted in uneven distribution and excessive spice. The dietician confirmed that spices should not have been added unless specified, and the dietary manager acknowledged the difficulty in maintaining proper broccoli texture, noting the possibility of over-seasoning. Resident interviews and observations further supported the deficiency, with one resident requesting additional salt and commenting that the food was already too peppered, while another resident reported the food was often undercooked or overcooked and left the broccoli casserole uneaten due to its mushy appearance. The facility's policy requires that residents receive a nourishing, palatable, and well-balanced diet, but the observed meal did not meet these standards, as confirmed by both staff and resident feedback.
Failure to Follow Professional Standards for Food Procurement and Handling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to procure food from sources that are approved or considered satisfactory and did not store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards. This deficiency was identified during the survey process, indicating that the facility did not meet regulatory requirements for food safety and handling. No additional details about specific residents, staff, or events leading to the deficiency are provided in the report. No information is given regarding the medical history or condition of any residents at the time of the deficiency.
Inconsistent Code Status Documentation for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's code status was clear and consistent across all documentation sources. Clinical record review showed that the electronic health record (EHR) listed the resident as Full Code, while a physical document in a binder at the nurses' station indicated Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) status. The resident had diagnoses including non-Alzheimer's dementia, anxiety disorder, and depression, with a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of 0 out of 15, indicating severely impaired cognition. Staff interviews revealed that staff would check either the EHR or the binder at the nurses' station to determine code status, depending on which was more convenient. Facility policy required that resuscitation status be maintained in the clinical record, but the discrepancy between the EHR and the binder was not addressed prior to surveyor identification.
Failure to Notify Physician of Significant Weight Gain
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician of a significant weight gain in a resident with diagnoses including edema, non-Alzheimer's dementia, and major depressive disorder, whose cognition was severely impaired. The resident's weight increased from 158 lbs. to 180 lbs. over approximately two months, representing a 13.92% gain. Although a quarterly nutritional assessment noted the weight gain and recommended a reduction in supplement intake, there was no documentation that the provider was notified of the continued weight increase during this period. Staff interviews confirmed that both the RN and DON would expect provider notification in such cases, and facility policy required physician consultation for significant changes in condition or treatment needs.
Failure to Provide Ongoing Activities Program for Resident with Cognitive Impairment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an ongoing program of activities tailored to meet the needs and preferences of a resident with severe cognitive impairment, non-Alzheimer's dementia, and major depressive disorder. The resident's care plan and MDS assessment indicated preferences for activities such as listening to music, spending time outdoors, Jewish singing, and socializing with friends from a meditating community. However, documentation showed the resident primarily participated in exercise and one-on-one visits, with limited engagement in other activities. There was a lack of evidence that the resident was offered or participated in a broader range of activities listed on the facility's activity calendar, such as outings, bingo, movies, cooking, crafting, and coffee club. Observations over several days revealed the resident spent significant time sitting or lying in bed, at the dining room table, or watching TV in the day room, with no documentation of participation in preferred or varied activities. Staff interviews confirmed that activity offerings were limited, partly due to staffing constraints, with the Life Enrichment Coordinator also responsible for transportation, reducing time available for activities. The Director of Activities acknowledged the limited activity schedule and expressed a desire to increase the frequency and variety of activities, but at the time of the survey, the deficiency remained.
Unsecured Medications and Chemicals Accessible to Cognitively Impaired Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medications and chemicals were secured and not accessible to cognitively impaired, independently mobile residents in the memory care unit. Observations revealed that a resident with severe cognitive impairment and impaired decision-making, who was independent with walking, was able to access a cubby in the day room without staff supervision. The resident was observed pulling back a curtain and looking into the cubby while other residents were present and no staff were in the room. The care plan for this resident indicated a tendency to touch various objects and directed staff to allow this only when safe, but staff were not present to supervise. Further review showed that a total of ten cognitively impaired, independently mobile residents were left unattended in the day room at multiple times. During one observation, the cubby was found to contain a staff member's bag with an almost full bottle of ibuprofen and a spray bottle of Old English furniture polish, both of which were accessible to residents. Facility policy required medications and chemicals to be locked and the environment to be free from such hazards, but these protocols were not followed, as confirmed by the DON during an interview.
Failure to Offer and Document Annual Influenza Vaccination
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to offer and document the administration of an annual influenza vaccine for two residents reviewed for immunization. Clinical record review showed that one resident with diagnoses including obesity, prediabetes, and moderate intellectual disabilities, and another resident with edema, non-Alzheimer's dementia, and major depressive disorder, both had severely impaired cognition. Documentation indicated that a resident representative had consented to the influenza vaccine for one of the residents, but there was no evidence in the records that either resident received the influenza vaccine for the 2024-2025 flu season. The facility's policy required screening and offering of influenza vaccines to all residents, but this was not followed for the two residents identified. During staff interview, the DON was unable to explain how the annual influenza vaccinations were missed for these residents.
Resident Clothing Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's clothing fit properly and was in good repair, compromising the resident's right to a dignified existence and personal privacy. This deficiency was observed in a resident with severely impaired cognition, diagnosed with non-Alzheimer's dementia, anxiety disorder, and depression. During an observation, the resident was seen in a wheelchair with a tear in his pants, exposing an adult incontinence brief. Interviews with the resident revealed that his clothes did not fit properly and were torn, indicating a need for new clothing. Staff interviews confirmed that the resident required new clothing and was on a list for clothing donations. However, there was no formal system in place to assess clothing needs for cognitively impaired residents. The facility's social services and nursing staff were responsible for addressing clothing needs, but there was a lack of documentation and follow-up with the resident's Power of Attorney regarding clothing needs. The last documented contact with the Power of Attorney was several months prior, and the resident had last received a clothing donation earlier in the year.
Lack of Certified Dietary Manager in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to employ a Certified Dietary Manager to oversee the food and nutrition services, as required. The Dietary Supervisor, who was responsible for these functions, admitted during an interview that she had not completed the necessary education and training to become a Certified Dietary Manager. Although she had enrolled in the certification program over a year ago, she had not finished the coursework. The facility's dietary schedule from July 21, 2024, to August 3, 2024, showed that the Dietary Supervisor was scheduled to work on several days, indicating her active role in the department despite lacking the required certification. The Administrator confirmed the absence of a Certified Dietary Manager, acknowledging that the Dietary Supervisor was still in the process of obtaining her certification.
Assessment and Intervention Delays Following Resident Fall and Health Decline
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate assessment and interventions for Resident #1, who experienced a decline in health following a fall resulting in a fractured right femur. Despite Resident #1's complaints of stomach discomfort, constipation, and distention, delays and inadequacies in care were noted. Staff members documented Resident #1's symptoms and attempted interventions such as suppositories and enemas, but faced challenges with medication availability and effectiveness. Resident #1 was found to be impacted, leading to the removal of a large amount of hardened stool by a Licensed Practical Nurse. Despite these efforts, Resident #1 continued to experience discomfort and vomiting, with subsequent orders for medications like Zofran and Miralax. As Resident #1's condition deteriorated, staff observations indicated signs of distress, including a distended abdomen, emesis, and altered mental status. Staff members reported Resident #1's increasing lethargy, difficulty staying upright, and mottling in her extremities. Vital signs were noted to be concerning, with low blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels. Despite these alarming signs, there were delays in escalating care, with Resident #1 only being sent to the hospital after a significant decline in health. The report highlighted instances where staff members noted Resident #1's worsening condition but did not take immediate action to address the severity of the situation.
Rodent Infestation in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an effective rodent control program, as evidenced by multiple staff and resident interviews. Staff N, a housekeeper, reported an ongoing mouse infestation, with frequent sightings of mice and droppings in resident rooms, particularly on B-hall. Staff N mentioned that glue traps were ineffective, as mice were chewing on them without getting caught. Staff M, a Certified Nurse Aide, confirmed witnessing a mouse on a resident's lap. Staff O, the Housekeeping Supervisor, noted that the issue began in early February and despite contacting their pest control provider, the problem persisted, especially in rooms where residents brought in food and did not allow regular cleaning. Staff P, the Dietary Supervisor, also reported sightings of mice and droppings in the kitchen area, leading to the placement of glue traps and removal of food from lower shelves. Resident interviews further corroborated the infestation issue. Resident #4, with an intact cognitive status, expressed frustration over frequent mouse sightings in his room and perceived inaction from the staff. Resident #5, also with an intact cognitive status, reported hearing and seeing mice in his room, which was cluttered with trash and belongings. The observations and interviews indicate a significant deficiency in the facility's pest control measures, affecting both the living and dining areas and causing distress among residents.
