Health deficiencies cited at Prairie Crossing Lvg & Rehab during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to cool a pork roast before freezing and did not use serving utensils while serving food, affecting all residents. A pork roast was improperly stored without a cooling log, and a staff member used gloved hands instead of utensils to serve food, increasing cross-contamination risk.
A facility failed to obtain daily weights and notify the cardiologist for a resident with heart failure when weight gain exceeded set parameters. The resident experienced several significant weight increases without the cardiologist being informed, except on one occasion. The facility's records showed missing weight entries, and the Director of Nursing confirmed the lack of documentation for notifying the cardiologist, contrary to the facility's policy.
A resident dependent on staff for care was found in an unkempt state, with dirty hair and poor oral hygiene, indicating a failure to provide regular showers and mouth care. Despite the care plan requiring extensive assistance, documentation showed only one shower was completed in July. Staff interviews revealed showers are scheduled twice a week but not documented in the electronic record, and the facility lacked a specific policy for providing showers.
The facility failed to prevent resident-to-resident abuse, resulting in multiple incidents involving aggressive behavior by a resident with severe cognitive impairment. Despite documented incidents of aggression, the facility did not implement effective measures to separate the aggressive resident from others or closely monitor interactions, leading to physical altercations and injuries.
Improper Food Handling and Lack of Cooling Logs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly cool a pork roast before freezing and did not use serving utensils while serving food, which affected all residents in the facility. During an observation, a pork roast was found in the refrigerator wrapped in aluminum foil with a date indicating it had been thawed for use in a meal. The Dietary Manager admitted that the roast was cooked previously and placed in the freezer without a cooling log, which is against the facility's policy to prevent foodborne illnesses. Additionally, it was revealed that temperatures of leftover food are checked but not logged, indicating a lack of proper documentation and adherence to food safety protocols. Furthermore, during a meal service observation, a staff member was seen using gloved hands to place garlic bread on residents' plates and using a spatula along with her hands to serve lasagna. The same gloves were used to access storage areas and drawers without being changed, which is contrary to the facility's policy that requires the use of clean barriers and changing gloves after touching contaminated surfaces. This practice increases the risk of cross-contamination, as confirmed by the Dietary Manager, who stated that staff are expected to use utensils to prevent such occurrences.
Failure to Monitor and Report Weight Changes in Heart Failure Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure daily weights were obtained for a resident diagnosed with heart failure and did not notify the resident's doctor when weight gain exceeded the set parameters. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment and required assistance for daily activities, had an active order for daily weight monitoring and to inform the cardiologist if there was a weight gain of more than 2-3 pounds overnight or 5 pounds in a week. Despite this, the resident experienced several instances of significant weight gain, such as a 3.3-pound increase on July 1, a 5.9-pound increase on July 6, and a 6.9-pound increase on July 25, without the cardiologist being notified except on September 30. The facility's records showed multiple days where the resident's weight was not recorded, and the Director of Nursing confirmed the lack of documentation regarding notification to the cardiologist. The facility's policy required notifying the physician of changes in the resident's condition, which was not adhered to in this case. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the oversight and the importance of notifying the cardiologist to monitor for potential exacerbations of congestive heart failure.
Failure to Provide Adequate Personal Hygiene Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a dependent resident, identified as R1, received adequate assistance with activities of daily living, specifically in providing regular showers. R1, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including sepsis, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and pressure ulcer, was observed to be dependent on staff for all care due to limited mobility and weakness from a cardiovascular accident. Despite the care plan indicating the need for extensive assistance with bathing and showering, R1 was found in an unkempt state with dirty hair and a thick layer of residue on her teeth, suggesting inadequate personal hygiene care. Interviews with facility staff revealed that showers for residents are scheduled twice a week and documented on shower sheets, not in the electronic record. However, a review of R1's shower sheets for July showed only one completed shower and one refusal, with no evidence of additional showers being offered or documented. The Director of Nursing stated that residents should receive at least one shower each week and that refusals should be reported to the nurse. Additionally, the facility lacked a specific policy regarding the provision of showers, although there was a policy for mouth care, which was also not adequately followed for R1.
Failure to Prevent Resident-to-Resident Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to have interventions in place to prevent resident-to-resident abuse, resulting in multiple incidents involving three residents. Resident R2, who had severe cognitive impairment and behavioral disturbances, exhibited aggressive behaviors towards other residents and staff. Despite multiple documented incidents of aggression, including physical and verbal threats, the facility did not implement effective measures to separate R2 from other residents or closely monitor his interactions, particularly with Resident R3, who also had cognitive impairments but no documented behavioral symptoms. On several occasions, R2's aggressive behavior led to physical altercations with R3. For instance, R2 pushed R3 from behind, causing him to stumble and attempt to retaliate by moving a wheelchair towards R2. In another incident, R2 pushed R3, who then fell into Resident R1, resulting in R1 sustaining a hematoma and experiencing significant pain. Despite these incidents, the facility's care plans for R2 and R3 did not include specific interventions to keep them separated or ensure close monitoring when they were around each other. Staff interviews revealed a lack of communication and awareness regarding the incidents and the necessary interventions. Some staff members were unaware of the previous altercations between R2 and R3, and there was no consistent approach to managing R2's aggressive behavior. The facility's abuse prevention policy emphasized the need for immediate evaluation and appropriate interventions to ensure resident safety, but these measures were not effectively implemented, leading to repeated incidents of resident-to-resident abuse and injury.
