Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Clinton-hickman County Nursing Facility during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Kitchen sanitation and food storage deficiencies were observed when old dried food debris was found under the steam table, food spillage and debris were seen inside food prep table drawers, and soiled parchment paper was present in the drawers. Two boxes of soybean salad oil were stored on the floor in dry storage, and dusty fans, vents, walls, and ventilation systems were observed above food prep and dish areas. The DM stated cleaning was not task-specific, routine duties were not assigned, and several areas had not been cleaned for months.
The facility failed to maintain safe water temperatures in residents' rooms, with temperatures ranging between 118 degrees F and 123 degrees F, exceeding the policy limit of 110 degrees F. This affected all thirty-five sampled residents, posing a risk of burns.
The facility failed to develop a baseline care plan for a resident within 48 hours of admission, instead reactivating an outdated care plan from a previous admission. The reactivated plan did not address the resident's current conditions, such as a fractured wrist and recurrent UTIs. Staff interviews confirmed the oversight, and the DON admitted to the error, while the Administrator acknowledged the need for a new care plan.
Kitchen sanitation and food storage deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
Sanitary conditions were not maintained in the kitchen during observation with the Dietary Manager. Excessive buildup of old dried food debris was observed underneath the steam table, along with excessive food spillage and debris inside drawers of the food preparation table and soiled parchment paper inside those drawers. In the dry storage room, two 35-pound boxes of soybean salad oil were stored directly on the floor. Two black fans mounted above the dish machine had excessive dust accumulation and were blowing toward clean dishes stored underneath, and there was excessive dust accumulation on walls, ceiling vents, and ventilation systems above food preparation areas, utensil storage areas, crates of dishes, and the food preparation table. During interview, the Dietary Manager described the buildup under the steam table as crud from dropped food and stated the area should be cleaned daily, but she did not know when it had last been cleaned and estimated it had been a couple of months. She also stated maintenance staff were responsible for cleaning the vents and that it had been several months since they had been cleaned. The Dietary Manager stated the fans were used to air dry dishes and acknowledged she could see the dust on them, adding that they had last been taken down and cleaned a couple of months prior. She further stated the kitchen cleaning checklist was not task-specific, staff were not assigned routine cleaning duties, the drawers on the food preparation table were not on the cleaning schedule, and she did not check behind staff to ensure checklist items were completed. The Maintenance Director confirmed the fans were dusty and estimated they had last been cleaned approximately two months prior, while the DON stated all food items should be stored off the floor and the Administrator stated the fans and vents should have been cleaned and boxes should not have been stored on the floor.
Failure to Maintain Safe Water Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the residents' environment remained as free of accident hazards as possible, specifically regarding the temperature of hot water in residents' rooms. Observations revealed that water temperatures in twenty-three resident rooms ranged between 118 degrees F and 123 degrees F, exceeding the facility's policy limit of 110 degrees F. This was confirmed through interviews with residents and staff, as well as a review of the facility's water temperature logs, which showed inconsistencies and potential inaccuracies in the recorded temperatures. One resident specifically mentioned that the water was 'burning hot' and could cause burns if left running for a few minutes. The Maintenance Director admitted to using a hand-held thermometer with a dial gauge instead of a digital thermometer due to a battery issue, and acknowledged that the water heater had recently been repaired but was still experiencing high temperatures. The facility's policy required periodic checks of water temperatures to ensure they remained within safe limits, but the logs showed only two random room checks per month, all recorded at 107 degrees F. The Maintenance Director also mentioned that the water heater had been repaired recently and that a plumbing company had been contacted to address the high temperatures. The Administrator was unaware of any ongoing issues with the hot water heater and agreed that checking only two rooms per month was insufficient to ensure safety. This deficiency affected all thirty-five sampled residents, posing a risk of burns due to excessively high water temperatures.
Failure to Develop Baseline Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a baseline care plan for a resident within 48 hours of admission, as required by their policy. Instead, the facility reactivated a comprehensive care plan from a previous admission without updating or revising it to reflect the resident's current needs. The resident, who had been admitted with acute respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and a history of urinary tract infections, did not have a baseline care plan developed upon their recent admission. The reactivated care plan included outdated interventions, such as a wander alert bracelet for elopement risk and a care plan for a stage three pressure injury, neither of which were current issues for the resident. Interviews with staff, including State Registered Nurse Aides (SRNAs) and Registered Nurses (RNs), revealed that the baseline care plan should have been initiated on admission and updated as needed. However, the staff confirmed that the resident's care plan had not been revised to address the current conditions, such as the fractured wrist and recurrent urinary tract infections. The Director of Nursing (DON) admitted to reactivating the old care plan and acknowledged that she was unaware that this was not permissible. She also failed to update the care plan to reflect the resident's current needs. The Administrator confirmed that the care plan should not have been reactivated from the previous year, as the resident's condition had changed significantly. The Administrator acknowledged that a new baseline care plan should have been initiated upon the resident's current admission. Despite these deficiencies, the Administrator stated that there had been no negative outcomes related to the failure to develop a new care plan for the resident's current admission diagnoses.
