Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Medicalodges Wichita during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A CNA employed for over a year did not have an annual performance evaluation documented in her personnel file, as required by facility policy. Administrative staff confirmed that not all annual evaluations had been completed.
Surveyors found that food was not prepared and served under sanitary conditions, with dried-on food and debris present on refrigerators, carts, preparation tables, trash cans, and microwaves in both the kitchen and dining room areas. Staff confirmed these sanitation issues, which were not in line with facility policy requiring regular cleaning and staff accountability.
Surveyors identified deficient infection control practices in the laundry area, including overflowing soiled linen in direct contact with walls, uncovered and unsanitary pillows stored with clean clothing, unmarked clean clothing bags, and unsanitary surfaces on equipment and furniture. Staff could not confirm the cleanliness of items or proper storage, and infection control surveillance did not include the laundry area as required by facility policy.
A resident with leukemia, neuropathy, and constipation did not receive prescribed doses of gabapentin and Senna-S as ordered, as confirmed by review of the MAR/TAR and staff interviews. The resident reported pain and persistent constipation, and staff acknowledged that missed documentation indicated the medications were not administered.
Failure to Complete Annual CNA Performance Review
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete an annual performance review for one of five Certified Nurse Aides (CNA) who had been employed for more than one year. Specifically, a review of personnel files revealed that a CNA hired on 09/04/24 did not have an annual performance evaluation documented in her file. During an interview, administrative staff confirmed that not all annual evaluations had been completed as required. The facility's Employee Handbook states that staff performance evaluations must be completed annually within two weeks of the employee's anniversary date and should include an assessment of strengths and weaknesses.
Failure to Maintain Sanitary Food Preparation and Service Areas
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple sanitation deficiencies in the facility's kitchen and dining areas. Three two-door reach-in refrigerators had dried-on food and fluids on the fronts, with rubber door strips containing an unknown black substance. One refrigerator had spilled liquid on the inside bottom shelf. A stainless-steel cart used for storing clean cookie sheets and the bottom shelf of a preparation table holding oils, syrups, and uncooked pasta both had food debris. Two covered trash cans had dried-on food debris on the fronts. A beige plastic cart used for delivering drinks to residents had black, rubbed-in debris on the top, and the microwave had dried-on food debris on all sides and the top of the oven. In the dining room kitchenette, the wooden counter had eight cabinet doors with deep grooves, and the microwave also had dried-on food debris on all sides and the top. Dietary staff confirmed these areas of concern needed to be addressed. The facility's policy required the Dining Services Manager to record necessary cleaning and sanitation tasks and for all staff to be trained and held responsible for completing these tasks.
Deficient Infection Control Practices in Laundry Handling and Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain adequate infection control practices in the handling, processing, and storage of resident clothing and linen. During a tour of the laundry area, surveyors observed an overflow of soiled laundry in barrels that were in direct contact with the walls, and uncovered pillows, including one with a torn and unsanitary vinyl cover, stacked on top of an overflowing linen barrel containing bagged, unmarked clean clothing. The inside door of the dryer, which comes into direct contact with clean laundry, was found to have an unsealed, worn surface with a rust-colored substance, and the folding table used for clean laundry had peeling and missing laminate, exposing a porous and unsanitary surface. Additionally, the laundry floor had peeling vinyl and a crack related to a prior flood, further compromising the sanitary conditions of the area. Laundry staff were unable to identify the owners of the bagged, unmarked clean clothing and could not confirm whether the pillows were clean or soiled. Staff acknowledged that pillows should be sanitized and stored separately from soiled linen to prevent cross-contamination. Administrative staff reported that infection control surveillance did not include rounds in the laundry area, relying instead on housekeeping and maintenance staff to monitor their own departments. The facility's infection control policy required inspection rounds in all areas, but this was not being followed in the laundry department.
Failure to Administer Medications as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the accurate administration of multiple medications as ordered by the physician for one resident with diagnoses including lymphocytic leukemia, neuropathy, pain, and constipation. The resident was cognitively intact and had documented needs for scheduled pain medications and laxatives. Physician orders included gabapentin for neuropathy and Senna-S for constipation, both to be administered at specific times. Review of the Medication Administration Record (MAR) and Treatment Administration Record (TAR) revealed that gabapentin was not administered as ordered on one occasion, and Senna-S was missed on four separate occasions within the review period. During interviews and observations, the resident reported pain and ongoing issues with constipation, including self-removal of stool. Staff confirmed that the lack of documentation on the MAR indicated the medications were not given as ordered. The facility's policy required medications to be administered according to prescriber orders, but this was not followed in the identified instances, resulting in significant medication errors for the resident.
