Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Creekwood Nursing & Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food according to professional standards, affecting 85 residents. Observations revealed unsealed and undated food items in the freezer, including cookie dough, broccoli, beef patties, and mixed vegetables. Staff interviews confirmed awareness of the policy requiring labeling, dating, and sealing of food items to prevent contamination and ensure quality meals.
A CNA improperly detached a resident's feeding tube, which was outside her job description and training. The resident, in a persistent vegetative state, required a gastrostomy tube for feeding. The CNA acted without authorization, contrary to facility policy, which prohibits CNAs from handling feeding tubes.
The facility failed to maintain accurate records of controlled drugs for two residents receiving narcotic medications. Discrepancies in narcotic counts were found, with staff failing to follow procedures for documenting and witnessing the waste of medications. Interviews revealed that staff did not accurately verify narcotic counts or report discrepancies to the DON as required by facility policy.
A CNA improperly detached a resident's gastrostomy tube without proper training, leaving the uncapped end on the feeding pump, risking contamination. The resident, in a persistent vegetative state, required the tube for feeding. Facility policy stated only nurses should handle feeding tubes, and CNAs were not trained for this task.
Failure to Adhere to Food Safety Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, which had the potential to affect 85 of the 86 residents who consumed food from the kitchen. During an observation of the walk-in freezer, it was noted that multiple food items were stored in their original containers but were not sealed or dated when opened. These items included bulk foods such as cookie dough, broccoli, western style beef patties, and mixed vegetables, with a scoop left inside the box on top of the vegetables. Additionally, bags of tater tots were found in their original container, with one package opened, half used, and not sealed or dated when opened. Interviews with the Dietary Manager (DM) and dietary staff revealed awareness of the facility's policy requiring food items to be labeled, dated, and sealed to prevent contamination. The DM acknowledged the risk of residents getting sick from exposed food items, especially those with compromised immune systems. Staff members confirmed that open boxes should be sealed and dated, and that scoops should not be left in food containers to avoid cross-contamination. The facility's policy emphasized the importance of proper food storage to ensure quality meals and prevent freezer burn, which had previously led to resident complaints about food taste.
Improper Handling of Feeding Tube by CNA
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received treatment and care in accordance with professional standards of practice. A Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) was observed detaching and placing a resident's feeding pump on hold, which was not within her job description or training. The CNA admitted to unhooking the feeding tube without proper education or authorization, as she did not want to bother the busy nurse. The facility's policy and CNA job description clearly stated that CNAs are not to handle gastrostomy tubes, and the CNA acknowledged she was aware of this restriction. The resident involved was admitted with serious medical conditions, including cerebral ischemia, acute respiratory failure, and a persistent vegetative state, requiring a gastrostomy tube for feeding. During the incident, the resident's head of bed was flat, contrary to the facility's verbal instructions to keep it elevated. Interviews with the Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse Staff Development Coordinator, Director of Nursing, and the Administrator confirmed that CNAs were not trained or permitted to manage feeding tubes, and the facility's policy was not followed in this instance.
Failure to Reconcile Controlled Drug Counts
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain and reconcile an accurate account of controlled drugs for two residents who received narcotic medications. The facility's policy required that controlled substances be signed out in a narcotic book and any discrepancies be corrected and reported to the nurse manager. However, during an observation, a discrepancy was found in the narcotic count for a resident receiving Tramadol, where the physical count was less than the recorded count. The Kentucky Medical Assistant (KMA) involved admitted to overlooking the count during a previous check. Another discrepancy was noted with a resident receiving Ativan, where a tablet was wasted without proper documentation or witnessing by a licensed nurse, as required by the facility's policy. Interviews with staff revealed that the narcotic counts were not accurately verified, and discrepancies were not immediately reported to the Director of Nursing (DON) as expected. The DON and the Administrator both stated their expectations for staff to follow the facility's policies for narcotic administration and waste, which were not adhered to in these instances. The failure to follow established procedures for handling controlled substances led to inaccuracies in the narcotic count records, highlighting a lapse in compliance with the facility's policies and procedures.
Infection Control Deficiency Due to Improper Handling of Feeding Tube
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by the actions of a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) who detached a resident's gastrostomy tube without proper training or authorization. The CNA placed the uncapped end of the tube on top of the feeding tube pump, which could lead to contamination. The CNA admitted to unhooking the tube because the nurse was busy and acknowledged not being educated on the proper handling of the feeding tube, including the necessity of capping it when detached. The resident involved was admitted with serious medical conditions, including cerebral ischemia, acute respiratory failure, and a persistent vegetative state, necessitating the use of a gastrostomy tube for feeding. Interviews with the nursing staff, including the Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Staff Development Coordinator, and the Director of Nursing (DON), revealed that CNAs were not trained to handle gastrostomy tubes and were instructed to report any concerns to the nursing staff. The facility's policy clearly stated that only nurses were authorized to manage feeding tubes, and the expectation was for all nursing staff to cap the tube to prevent contamination.
