Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Park Place Christian Community during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that kitchen staff failed to properly label, date, seal, and store food items, did not remove expired foods, and did not sanitize food preparation surfaces after contamination. The Director of Dining Services acknowledged these lapses, which were observed across multiple storage areas and involved various food items left uncovered, unlabeled, or expired.
Staff failed to follow infection control protocols by not performing hand hygiene or changing gloves between contaminated and clean tasks during wound care, incontinence care, and feeding multiple residents. Soiled linens and cleaning items were left uncovered and on the floor in the laundry area, increasing the risk of cross-contamination. The DON confirmed these practices did not meet facility policy.
Surveyors observed that multiple residents had unsecured medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, openly accessible in their rooms. Some residents self-administered these medications, while others had them placed by staff, and facility staff were unaware of the unsecured storage. Facility policy required medications to be locked when unattended and for self-administered medications to be stored in a locked box, but these procedures were not followed.
A CNA was observed standing over two residents while feeding them instead of sitting at eye level, which did not align with facility policy or promote resident dignity. The DON confirmed that staff should sit while feeding to ensure dignity and better observation.
A resident with a history of falls and multiple diagnoses, including dementia and osteopenia, sustained a femur fracture due to inadequate assistance during a toileting transfer. The CNA assisting the resident did not use a gait belt and was focused on undressing the resident, leaving them without stability. The facility's policy requires a gait belt and two-person assistance for such tasks, which was not followed, leading to the fall and injury.
The facility failed to document rationale for PRN antianxiety medication use beyond 14 days, did not monitor target symptoms, and did not implement non-pharmacological interventions before administering the medication to a resident with multiple diagnoses, including Alzheimer's disease and anxiety disorder.
Deficient Food Storage, Labeling, and Sanitation Practices in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple failures in the facility kitchen related to food storage, labeling, dating, sealing, and sanitation. During a kitchen tour, the Director of Dining Services placed a sanitizer bucket that had been on the floor onto a food preparation counter and did not sanitize the counter until prompted by the surveyor. The Director acknowledged that the counter should be sanitized after contact with items from the floor to prevent bacterial contamination, in accordance with facility policy. Further inspection of the kitchen revealed numerous food items in various storage areas that were either expired, unlabeled, undated, unsealed, or uncovered. These included bins of crab salad and ground beef without labels or dates, expired tomato paste and strawberries, uncovered sausage links and prime rib, unlabeled and undated bags of meat and pies, open bags of chocolate chips and graham crumbs, and an unsealed carton of heavy whipping cream. The Director of Dining Services confirmed that all food items should be labeled, dated, sealed, and expired items removed to prevent serving unsafe food, as outlined in the facility's policies.
Failure to Prevent Cross-Contamination During Resident Care and Soiled Linen Handling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prevent cross-contamination during resident care and the handling of soiled materials, as observed in multiple instances involving both nursing and support staff. During wound and incontinence care for a resident with a pressure wound, a nurse handled a garbage can with gloved hands and then touched the resident’s wound without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene. The same nurse also failed to change gloves or clean hands after handling a soiled brief before touching clean areas and linens. These actions were acknowledged by both the nurse and the Director of Nursing as improper and contrary to the facility’s infection control procedures. During meal service, staff members were observed feeding multiple residents consecutively without cleaning their hands between residents. One CNA fed two residents in succession, and a nurse fed two others, both using the same hand and utensils without performing hand hygiene between residents. The Director of Nursing confirmed that hand hygiene should have been performed between residents to prevent cross-contamination. In the laundry area, soiled mop heads and cleaning items were stored in uncovered containers, and bags of soiled clothing were left open on the floor. Staff were seen bringing additional soiled items into the laundry room and placing them on the floor. The Director of Nursing stated that soiled items should be covered and not placed on the floor to prevent the spread of bacteria. Additionally, during incontinence care for another resident, a CNA was observed retrieving gloves from her pocket and reusing them during care, and did not consistently perform hand hygiene between glove changes. The CNA stated she did not believe hand hygiene was necessary after every glove removal, except when placing a new brief.
Failure to Secure Resident Medications According to Facility Policy
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors found that the facility failed to ensure medications and biologicals were properly secured for multiple residents. Observations revealed that several residents had various medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, stored openly on bedside tables, nightstands, and in bathrooms. These included bottles of chlorpheniramine, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ketotifen fumarate, povidone, aluminum hydroxide/magnesium hydroxide/simethicone, nystatin, miconazole nitrate, Tylenol, Systane eye drops, antifungal powder, albuterol sulfate, and medicated shampoo. In some cases, residents reported that they used these medications themselves, while in other cases, staff had placed the medications in the rooms, and residents did not self-administer them. Facility staff, including the DON and RNs, were unaware that these medications were unsecured and accessible at the bedside. Review of facility policies indicated that medications should be locked whenever unattended, and that self-administered medications must be stored in a locked, permanently affixed box in the resident's room if requested to be kept at bedside. Physician orders for some residents allowed self-administration, but the required secure storage was not provided. In one instance, a resident had a medication at bedside without a corresponding physician order. The facility's failure to follow its own medication storage policies resulted in unsecured medications being accessible in resident rooms.
Failure to Maintain Resident Dignity During Feeding
Penalty
Summary
Certified Nurses' Assistant (CNA) V8 was observed standing over two residents while feeding them, rather than sitting at eye level. Specifically, V8 stood over one resident while feeding him a red thickened drink and then proceeded to stand over another resident while feeding her mashed potatoes, a green pureed food, and a red liquid. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that staff are expected to sit while feeding residents to ensure better visual observation and to maintain the residents' dignity. The facility's policy on Resident Rights and Responsibilities emphasizes the right to a dignified experience, self-determination, and communication for each resident.
Failure to Safely Transfer Resident Results in Fracture
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to safely transfer a resident during toileting, resulting in an acute comminuted fracture of the left femur. The resident, a 92-year-old with multiple diagnoses including dementia, depression, osteopenia, and a history of falls, was not provided with the required assistance and a gait belt was not used during the transfer. The incident occurred when the resident's knees buckled while being assisted by a CNA, leading to a fall. The resident had a history of declining condition and was transferred to the skilled section of the facility for closer supervision due to multiple falls and weakness. On the day of the incident, the CNA was assisting the resident in the bathroom when the resident attempted to pivot transfer on their own. The CNA was focused on pulling down the resident's pants, which left the resident without stability or assistance, resulting in the fall. The resident's feet became caught between the toilet base and riser, and they complained of pain in the left upper leg. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the resident required substantial assistance for transfers and was dependent on staff for toileting and lower body dressing. The facility's policy mandates the use of a gait belt for residents needing assistance with transfers, and two-person assistance is required when multiple tasks are being performed simultaneously. The failure to adhere to these protocols contributed to the resident's fall and subsequent injury.
Failure to Document Rationale and Implement Non-Pharmacological Interventions for PRN Antianxiety Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that PRN antianxiety medication orders had clinician-documented rationale for use beyond 14 days, did not identify and monitor target symptoms/behaviors, and did not implement non-pharmacological interventions prior to PRN medication use. This deficiency was observed in a resident with multiple diagnoses, including Alzheimer's disease, anxiety disorder, and a history of surgical repairs. The resident's care plan included monitoring and recording target behaviors but lacked non-pharmacological interventions to address anxiety, restlessness, or agitation. The resident was prescribed Lorazepam 1 mg every 4 hours PRN, but the medication administration records showed that the medication was given without documented rationale for continued use beyond 14 days. Additionally, there was no documentation of behaviors observed prior to the administration of the medication on multiple occasions. Interviews with staff revealed that non-pharmacological interventions were not attempted before administering the medication, and the staff complied with requests from private caregivers to administer the medication without clear reasons. The facility's policy on the use of psychotropic medications required non-pharmacological approaches to be attempted and documented before initiating or continuing psychotropic drugs. However, the facility did not provide documentation of non-pharmacological interventions attempted to reduce the resident's anxiety symptoms. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the medical doctor was aware of the psychiatrist's statement that Lorazepam was not effective, yet continued to prescribe it. The facility also did not pursue further testing to determine the causes of the resident's symptoms due to the family's unwillingness to pay for the testing.
