Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Bethel Health Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to store food safely, risking food-borne illness for 57 residents. Observations showed food stored on the floor and undated opened food in the kitchen freezer. Staff confirmed these practices, which violated the facility's Food Storage policy requiring food to be stored off the floor and properly labeled.
The facility's assessment failed to specify staffing levels and lacked a contingency plan for non-emergency events impacting staffing and resident care. This oversight placed 57 residents at risk for impaired care, as the facility did not adequately plan for necessary resources during routine and non-routine situations.
Improper Food Storage Practices in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store food in a safe and sanitary manner, which placed 57 residents at risk for food-borne illness. Observations revealed that a crate of grapes and several boxes of food, including pies, chicken breasts, and strawberries, were stored directly on the floor of the walk-in refrigerator and freezer. Additionally, the kitchen freezer contained opened and undated bags of various frozen foods, such as peach slices, mango cubes, French fries, potato slices, ham cubes, and ice cream. Dietary staff confirmed these findings, acknowledging that food deliveries were sometimes left on the floor and that opened food items were not consistently dated. The facility's Food Storage policy, dated April 2024, required that food be stored in a clean, dry area, free from contaminants, and at appropriate temperatures. The policy also specified that food should be stored on shelves, at least six inches above the floor, and 18 inches from the ceiling, with all items covered, labeled, and dated. Despite these guidelines, staff admitted that food deliveries were not always put away promptly, and opened food items were not routinely dated, leading to potential contamination and spoilage risks for the residents.
Inadequate Facility-Wide Assessment for Staffing and Contingency Planning
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a thorough facility-wide assessment to determine the necessary resources for competent resident care during both routine and non-routine situations. The assessment, dated July 2024, identified the facility's capacity and average census but did not specify the staffing levels required for each unit, including the number of RNs, LPNs/LVNs, CMAs, and CNAs needed for each shift, including weekends. Additionally, the assessment lacked a contingency plan for events that could impact staffing and resident care without activating the emergency plan, and it did not include a strategy for maximizing recruitment and retention of direct care staff. The facility's Facility Wide Resource Assessment (FWRA) policy, dated July 31, 2024, outlined the requirements for identifying and analyzing the resident population and the resources needed for day-to-day and emergency operations. However, the FWRA provided by the facility did not meet these requirements, as it failed to include specific staffing levels and contingency plans. This oversight placed all 57 residents at risk for impaired care, as the facility did not adequately assess and plan for the resources necessary to meet the residents' needs during both routine and non-routine situations.
