Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pineknoll Rehabilitation Centre during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A nurse was employed and scheduled to work as an LPN using a multi-state license issued by Ohio, despite having moved to Indiana and not obtaining the required Indiana nursing license within the mandated timeframe. This lapse in licensure compliance was confirmed through facility records and interviews, potentially affecting all residents.
A resident with multiple chronic conditions was transferred to the hospital following a change in condition, but the facility failed to complete required transfer documentation and did not notify the receiving facility of the resident's status, as confirmed by interviews with the DON and RN and review of facility policy.
The facility failed to ensure food was prepared and distributed in a safe, sanitary manner, impacting all 55 residents. Observations included dirty steam table pans, non-stick skillets with missing coating, a sticky knife holder, and inadequate dishwashing processes with low chemical levels. The facility's cleaning schedule and dish machine operation policy were not followed.
LPN Worked Without Valid Indiana Nursing License
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a nurse employed in the nursing department held a valid Indiana nursing license. Record review showed that an LPN had been employed since June 2024 and was listed as having a multi-state LPN license issued by Ohio. The nurse had moved to Indiana in August 2024 but had not applied for an Indiana nursing license within 60 days of relocating, as required by the Nurse Licensure Compact. The LPN continued to be scheduled and worked multiple shifts in May 2025 without the appropriate Indiana licensure. The facility's own documentation and interviews confirmed the lapse in compliance with state licensure requirements, potentially impacting all 56 residents in the facility.
Failure to Document and Communicate Resident Transfer to Hospital
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly document the transfer process and communication to the receiving health care facility for one resident who was hospitalized. The resident, who had diagnoses including pneumonia, chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia, COPD, and congestive heart failure, was noted to be agitated, restless, and experiencing respiratory distress. After the family requested a transfer to the emergency room, emergency transport was arranged, but the clinical record did not show that the receiving facility was notified of the transfer, nor did it include documentation of the resident's condition at the time of transfer or a completed transfer form. Interviews with the DON and an RN confirmed that required documentation, such as the SBAR communication form and Interact transfer form, was not completed. The facility's policy required these forms to be filled out and the receiving facility to be notified during a transfer. The resident's record lacked evidence that these procedures were followed, and the necessary transfer documentation was missing from the medical record.
Unsanitary Food Preparation and Distribution
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure food was prepared and distributed in a safe, sanitary manner, impacting all 55 residents who received meals from the facility kitchen. During a kitchen tour, various unsanitary conditions were observed, including empty boxes on the floor, dirty steam table pans with baked-on residue, non-stick skillets with missing coating and sticky residue, a dusty and sticky knife holder, a food processor covered in a sticky substance, and a can opener with thick residue. Additionally, a serving ladle in the clean storage drawer had pooled liquid, and the vent hood and stove drip pan had heavy, greasy residue. Further observations revealed that the dishwashing process was inadequate, with chemical levels in the rinse/sanitation cycle reading less than 10 parts per million (PPM) instead of the required 100 PPM. The Dishmachine Temperature/Sanitizer Log showed no recorded temperatures or chemical levels for specific meals. The Dietary Manager acknowledged these issues and indicated the need to contact the facility's contracted dishwasher service company. The facility's cleaning schedule and dish machine operation policy were reviewed, highlighting the failure to adhere to established cleaning and sanitation protocols.
