Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Harrodsburg Health & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Unsanitary Food Preparation and Cross-Contamination Practices: Staff were observed handling food service tasks with gloves taken from a pocket, a cleaning cloth rinsed and wrung out instead of being kept in sanitizer, and soiled pots and sheet pans stacked over the food production table and near opened food items. The 3-compartment sink was not properly set up during the observation, and the cook, Dietary Manager, DON, and Administrator all acknowledged these practices could lead to cross contamination.
Failure to Notify Family of Hospital Transfer and Required Written Notice A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple chronic diagnoses was sent to the ER, but the facility did not notify the resident's representative or provide written notice of the transfer, the reason, location, or appeal rights. A grievance log noted the family was not notified, and interviews with the family member, MDS Coordinator, DON, and Administrator confirmed the representative was not called or given a bed-hold notice.
A resident with COPD, acute osteomyelitis, and CKD did not receive ordered wound and central line care as documented. The resident reported missed right heel dressing changes and an overdue central line dressing, and survey observation confirmed the central line dressing was dated several days earlier while the heel dressing was undated. MAR entries showed inconsistent documentation, and staff interviews revealed confusion about responsibility for the dressing changes and when they were due.
A resident with severe disabilities and dependent on staff for ADL care was observed with dry, cracked lips, indicating inadequate oral hygiene. Despite facility policies requiring oral care every shift, documentation showed lapses in care. Interviews with staff confirmed expectations for routine oral care, but observations suggested these were not consistently met.
The facility failed to store Tuberculin PPD vials properly, placing them in the door of a medication refrigerator, contrary to guidelines that recommend storing medications in the center to avoid temperature fluctuations. Interviews revealed staff were unaware of the potential efficacy loss due to improper storage.
Unsanitary Food Preparation and Cross-Contamination Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prepare and serve food under sanitary conditions during lunch meal service and kitchen operations. During observation on 02/24/2026, staff pulled gloves from a pocket, a cleaning cloth was not kept in the sanitizer bucket, and soiled sheet pans and pots were stacked over the food production table. The report also noted that the three-compartment sink was not set up with detergent in the first sink, rinse water in the second sink, or sanitizer in the third sink at the time of observation. Additional observations on 02/24/2026 showed soiled baking sheets and pots stacked on the left side of the three-compartment sink, hanging over opened cans of vanilla pudding and fruit cocktail and clean plastic dessert bowls. The cook used a cloth from the pot and pan sink, rinsed and wrung it out under the faucet, and used it to wipe the food production table and brush crumbs onto the rack of scoop plates. On 02/25/2026, soiled pots and sheet pans were again observed stacked over the food production table. In interviews, the cook, Dietary Manager, DON, and Administrator stated that gloves taken from a pocket, cleaning cloths not kept in sanitizer, and clean and soiled dishes not separated could cause cross contamination.
Failure to Notify Resident Representative of Hospital Transfer and Appeal Rights
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the resident and the resident's representative in writing, in a language and manner they understood, of the resident's transfer to the hospital and the reasons for the move as soon as practicable. The notice also did not include the reason, date, and location for the transfer, the resident's appeal rights, or the contact information for the state Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This deficient practice was identified for 1 of 20 residents reviewed for transfer and/or discharge practices, Resident 68. Resident 68 was admitted with diagnoses including type 2 diabetes mellitus, cerebrovascular disease, and cerebral infarction (stroke). The resident's quarterly MDS showed a BIMS score of 6 of 15, indicating severe cognitive impairment. The record showed the resident was sent to the hospital emergency department for evaluation, and a grievance log documented a concern that the family was not notified when the resident was taken to the ER. During interviews, the family member stated she learned of the transfer only after overhearing staff mention the resident had returned, and the MDS Coordinator, DON, and Administrator each stated they were unaware the family had not been called or given a written bed-hold notice.
Failure to Follow Wound and Central Line Dressing Orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Resident 87 received treatment and care according to physician orders and the resident’s person-centered care plan. R87 was admitted with COPD, acute osteomyelitis of the right ankle and foot, and CKD, and her admission MDS showed a BIMS score of 15 out of 15. Orders were in place for a dressing change to the right heel daily and for a central line dressing change every 72 hours. The care plan identified a surgical wound to the right heel and a central line to the right chest, with interventions for treatment per order and dressing changes as ordered. During survey observation and interview, R87 stated the right foot dressing was not changed on several days and that the central line dressing had not been changed since the prior Sunday. Observation on 02/24/2026 showed the central line dressing dated 02/15/2026 and the right heel dressing without a date. The MAR showed right heel treatment documented on some days by LPNs, but R87 reported missed dressing changes and a cancelled podiatry appointment when transport was not arranged. The MAR also showed the central line dressing documented as done on 02/18/2026, not done on 02/21/2026, and completed again on 02/24/2026. Staff interviews reflected confusion about who was responsible for central line dressing changes and when they were due, and the DON stated staff should not document tasks as done if they were not completed.
Failure to Provide Adequate Oral Care for Dependent Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident who was unable to carry out activities of daily living received the necessary services to maintain good oral hygiene. The resident, who had been admitted with diagnoses including Rett's syndrome and muscle contractures, was completely dependent on staff for ADL care. Observations on two separate days revealed the resident had dry, cracked lips with peeling skin, indicating a lack of adequate oral care. The facility's policy required oral care every shift, but documentation showed no recorded personal hygiene care on two specific days. Interviews with staff, including SRNAs and the MDS Nurse, indicated that oral care was expected to be provided at least once per shift and as needed. However, the lack of documentation and the resident's condition suggested that this care was not consistently provided. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator both stated their expectations that oral care should be provided routinely and as needed, aligning with the facility's policy. Despite these expectations, the observations and documentation indicated a deficiency in meeting the resident's oral hygiene needs.
Improper Storage of Tuberculin PPD in Medication Refrigerator
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store all drugs and biologicals under proper temperature control in one of its medication refrigerators, specifically the refrigerator in the South Medication Room. During an observation, it was noted that two vials of Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) were stored in the door of this refrigerator. According to the facility's policy and guidelines from the FDA and American Biotech Supply, medications requiring refrigeration should be stored between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit and should not be placed in the door of the refrigerator due to potential temperature fluctuations. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness regarding the implications of storing medications in the refrigerator door. An LPN acknowledged that storing medications in the door could lead to accidental falls or loss of efficacy due to frequent door openings. The Director of Nursing admitted that heating or cooling could decrease the potency of medications like Tuberculin PPD, yet did not initially recognize issues with door storage. The Administrator deferred to the DON for proper storage practices and was unaware of any medications stored in the refrigerator door, although she did not initially see it as an issue.
