Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Good Samaritan Society - Parsons during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors identified unsanitary conditions in the kitchen, including broken equipment, food debris on preparation tables and carts, rusted storage racks, and improper trash can setups. Dietary staff confirmed these issues needed attention, and the facility's cleaning policy was not followed.
A resident with intact cognition and a diagnosis of depression, who was independent with most ADLs but required staff assistance for showers and shaving, was observed on multiple occasions with long facial hair. The resident expressed a desire to be shaved and did not refuse care, but staff failed to provide shaving assistance as outlined in her care plan and facility policy.
A resident with depression and intact cognition did not receive an activity program tailored to personal interests, such as attending church and political events, despite documented preferences and care plan instructions. Staff were unaware of the resident's wishes for community outings, and only minimal spiritual activities were provided, with no evidence of individualized or outside activities being facilitated.
Two residents with CHF did not receive proper disease management when staff failed to monitor daily weights, notify providers of significant weight changes, and administer PRN Lasix as ordered. One resident experienced multiple unreported weight gains and missed daily weights, while another was not given PRN diuretics despite substantial weight increases and lacked daily weight monitoring. Staff interviews revealed lack of awareness of orders and improper documentation practices.
Unsanitary Food Preparation and Storage Conditions
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple unsanitary conditions in the facility's kitchen and food service areas during an initial tour. Specific findings included a broken oven kick plate resting on the floor, food debris on the bottom shelves of two preparation tables, and rust with missing protective coating on three storage racks in the dry storage room. Additionally, the stationary can opener had dried food debris on the sharp area, the trash can by the hand-washing sink was not accessible, and the trash can by the ice machine lacked a lid. A three-tiered cart used for transporting clean dishes was found with a build-up of food debris on all tiers. Dietary staff confirmed these areas required cleaning, repair, or replacement. The facility's own policy required regular cleaning and inspection of kitchen equipment and surfaces, which was not followed as evidenced by these observations.
Failure to Provide Required Shaving Assistance for Resident
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to provide personal hygiene care, specifically facial shaving, for a resident who required assistance with this activity of daily living (ADL). The resident, who had diagnoses including depression and demonstrated intact cognition according to recent assessments, was noted in her care plan to be independent with ADLs except for showers and shaving. Observations on multiple days showed the resident with long facial hair, and she expressed a desire to be shaved, stating that staff did not provide this care. Interviews with staff confirmed that the resident required assistance with shaving and did not refuse care. Further interviews with facility staff, including a CNA and a licensed nurse, revealed that the resident was scheduled to receive showers and shaving twice per week, and that shaving was expected to occur on shower days. The facility's policy on shaving emphasized the importance of promoting positive self-image and well-being. Despite these expectations and policies, the resident was not provided with shaving assistance as required, resulting in a failure to meet her personal hygiene needs.
Failure to Provide Resident-Centered Activities Based on Individual Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement an ongoing, resident-centered activity program that met the interests and preferences of a resident diagnosed with depression and with intact cognition. The resident expressed that it was very important to keep up with the news, participate in favorite activities, and go outside during nice weather. Documentation showed the resident enjoyed both individual and group activities, including attending church, participating in political events, and socializing. Despite these documented preferences, the only activity consistently provided was a brief spiritual reading from the Daily Chronicle, and there was no evidence of one-on-one interactions or facilitation of community outings as outlined in the care plan. Interviews with staff and the resident's representative revealed that the activities offered did not align with the resident's interests, particularly regarding attending church and community political events. Staff were unaware of the resident's desire to participate in outside activities, and there was a lack of documentation for individualized activities. Although administrative staff stated that transportation to outside activities was available, this was not communicated or facilitated for the resident. The facility also did not provide a policy for activities.
Failure to Monitor CHF Residents and Administer PRN Diuretics as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure adequate disease management and monitoring for two residents with congestive heart failure (CHF). For one resident, staff did not consistently monitor daily weights as ordered, nor did they notify the physician of significant weight fluctuations, including gains of over 3 pounds in 24 hours and over 7 pounds in one day. The resident's electronic medical record lacked documentation of physician notification for these weight changes, and there were missed daily weights. The resident experienced increased edema, decreased oxygen saturation, and eventually required emergency transport to the hospital after reporting chest pain and shortness of breath. Additionally, the facility did not administer as-needed (PRN) Lasix for another resident with CHF, despite a physician's order to do so for weight gains exceeding specified parameters. Staff failed to weigh this resident daily as ordered, instead switching to monthly weights, and did not administer the PRN diuretic even after a significant weight gain of over 18 pounds. The care plan for this resident also lacked instructions regarding the use of PRN Lasix. Interviews with nursing staff revealed a lack of awareness of the PRN Lasix order and improper handling of weight documentation, including one nurse striking out weights recorded by others. Administrative staff confirmed that the facility's standing orders and policies were not followed, as staff did not consistently monitor weights or notify providers according to established parameters for residents with CHF.
