Health deficiencies cited at Barren County Nursing And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Food storage and kitchen sanitation were not maintained according to policy. Multiple food items in refrigerators, freezer, and dry storage were left uncovered or partially exposed, one refrigerator had a strong sour odor with spilled milk and rotten potatoes, the dishwasher area and surrounding kitchen surfaces were soiled, and an ice machine used for resident ice had grime and discoloration. Dietary staff and the DON stated that food items should be covered, dated, and stored safely, and that kitchen cleaning tasks were assigned to staff.
Failure to care plan and carry out ordered treatment for skin tears: A resident was admitted with skin tears that were identified on admission and in the MDS, but the care plan did not include the actual skin tears. Physician orders required specific wound care and monitoring, yet the chart showed treatments as completed even though an RN later said she did not change the dressings as ordered. Observations found soiled band-aids, missing ordered dressings, and kerlix hanging unsecured on both arms, while the DON said she had not been informed the treatments were not completed or that the wrong treatment was used.
A resident with skin tears and moderate cognitive impairment did not receive wound care as ordered. Staff used soiled band-aids and later unsecured kerlix instead of the ordered dressings, and the treatment record was signed as completed even though the RN said the care had not been done on multiple days. The DON, Unit Manager/Treatment Nurse, and Medical Director all stated the ordered treatment should have been followed.
Staff failed to provide respiratory care as ordered for a resident with COPD. The resident had an order for oxygen at 2 L/min via NC, but observations showed the oxygen set at 4 L/min on multiple occasions. An LPN later confirmed the ordered rate was 2 L/min, found the oxygen at 4 L/min, and adjusted it back to 2 L/min.
Food Storage and Kitchen Sanitation Failures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. During observation of the kitchen, multiple food items in Refrigerator 1 were exposed to the air and/or potential contamination, including uncovered bowls of mandarin oranges and foods that were only partially covered such as broccoli, chicken noodle soup, tomato soup, bologna, shredded cheese, cheese dip, and sour cream. A bucket of flour in the dry storage area was also left uncovered. In Refrigerator 2, a box of bacon was opened in its original container, and in Freezer 1, a box of hamburger patties had opened flaps and an opened inner plastic package, exposing the food to the air and/or potential contamination. Observation of Refrigerator 2 also revealed a very strong sour odor and a stream of milk puddled on the floor. On a later observation, the floor had been cleaned, but a foul odor remained, and at least four potatoes stored in a box in the refrigerator had black mushy spots and appeared rotten. The dishwasher area had a strong pungent odor, an opening in the tile around a pipe with a black substance and trash particles, and a brownish grimy substance covering the bottom of the dishwasher where water was discarded. The sink, upper wall, baseboards, and floors in the kitchen were also soiled with grime and a brown substance. In the dining room, two ice machines were observed filled with ice, and one had grime on the side where the scoop was located, a black substance in the door hinge crease, streaks of discoloration on the metal top above the ice storage area, and a brownish-orange substance on the inside wall where ice was stored. Staff interviews confirmed that dietary staff were responsible for food storage, covering food items, labeling and dating food, and completing cleaning tasks. The Dietary Manager stated expectations were that staff follow food safety policy and ensure stored food items were covered and dated, and the Administrator stated expectations were that staff follow the facility's policy and cleaning tasks to ensure cleanliness in the dietary department.
Failure to care plan and carry out ordered treatment for skin tears
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for one resident who was admitted with skin tears and other diagnoses including an unspecified fall, rhabdomyolysis, and chronic kidney disease. The resident’s admission observation documented bruising and skin tears on the upper right and left extremities, and the admission MDS also identified skin tears, non-surgical dressing application, and ointment application. However, the comprehensive care plan dated 07/23/2025 did not include the resident’s actual skin tears or current skin impairment, even though the MDS Assistant stated the resident should have had a care plan on admission because the skin tears were an actual condition rather than a risk only. The care plan did include general interventions for skin impairment related to impaired mobility, such as weekly and PRN skin inspection, keeping skin clean and dry, minimizing moisture, providing incontinent care after each episode, avoiding hot water, using a mild cleansing agent, and reducing friction and injury with lubricants, protective films, protective dressings, or protective padding as ordered. Physician orders required specific wound care for the resident’s skin tears, including cleansing with normal saline, applying mupirocin or petroleum gauze, covering with telfa or wrapping with kerlix, and monitoring the skin tears for signs and symptoms of infection. Review of the treatment history showed RN1 signed the electronic record indicating the treatments were completed on multiple days, although she later stated she had not changed the dressings as ordered during those days. Observations showed the ordered dressings were not in place as directed. The resident was observed with soiled band-aids on the left forearm, a band-aid on the right wrist, and a large island dressing on the right elbow, with no Vaseline gauze, telfa, or kerlix in use for the ordered skin tear treatments. A later observation showed kerlix on both arms that was not secured and hanging off the arms, with no Vaseline gauze on the right arm and no dressing covering the left arm skin tears. The DON stated she was not informed that the skin tear treatments were not completed for three days or that the wrong treatment was used, and she expected the plan of care to be followed.
Failure to Follow Ordered Skin Tear Treatments
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide treatment and care according to physician orders and the resident’s comprehensive care plan for one resident with non-pressure related skin impairment. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including an unspecified fall, rhabdomyolysis, and chronic kidney disease, and the admission assessment documented bruising and skin tears to both upper extremities. The resident’s MDS indicated moderate cognitive impairment and noted that he was admitted with skin tears and required non-surgical dressing application and ointments. The care plan did not specifically include the resident’s skin tears that were present on admission, although it did include interventions for skin risk related to impaired mobility and general skin care measures. Physician orders directed staff to cleanse the skin tears with normal saline, apply mupirocin or petroleum gauze depending on the site, cover with telfa or kerlix, and change the dressings daily and as needed. Review of the treatment history showed RN1 signed the electronic record on multiple days indicating the treatments were completed, but she later stated she had not changed the dressings on those days and had accidentally signed the record as completed. Observations showed the resident had soiled band-aids and dressings on both arms, with some dated several days earlier, and no ordered Vaseline gauze, telfa, or kerlix in use at one point. Later observation showed kerlix dressings hanging off the arms and not secured, and the left arm skin tears were not covered. The resident stated the dressings had not been changed and that the band-aids pulled his arm hair when removed. The Unit Manager/Treatment Nurse, DON, Administrator, and Medical Director each stated they expected orders to be followed, and the Medical Director specifically stated that petroleum gauze should have been applied instead of a band-aid and that daily treatments should have been done every day.
Oxygen Flow Rate Not Delivered as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to provide respiratory care as care planned and ordered for one resident with COPD. The resident’s care plan identified a respiratory/pulmonary problem with impaired gas exchange related to COPD and included administering oxygen as ordered. A physician order dated 11/11/2022 directed oxygen at 2 liters per minute via nasal cannula, and the TAR for 08/01/2025 through 08/08/2025 reflected that order and was signed off by an LPN. During observation on 08/06/2025, the resident’s oxygen flow rate was found to be 4 liters per minute instead of the ordered 2 liters per minute. The resident confirmed that the oxygen flow rate should have been 2 liters per minute. Additional observations later that day and the next morning again showed the oxygen set at 4 liters per minute. During interview, the LPN stated the flow rate should be checked at the start of the shift, confirmed the ordered rate was 2 liters per minute, and then verified the oxygen was set at 4 liters per minute before adjusting it back to 2 liters per minute. The LPN also identified complications associated with overuse of oxygen as hyperventilation and/or decreased respiratory rate.
