Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at East Jefferson General Hospital - Snf during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with CHF, ESRD, and on hemodialysis experienced an 11.6% weight gain from admission, exceeding the facility’s policy threshold for mandatory provider notification. Nursing staff obtained and documented the weights but did not notify the NP or physician. Subsequent interviews confirmed that neither the NP nor the nephrologist were informed of the significant weight change, and the DON acknowledged that this change should have been reported according to the facility’s standards of practice.
A resident with CHF and ESRD receiving hemodialysis had a physician order for daily weights starting at admission, but weights were not obtained or documented on multiple consecutive days. Review of the EMR showed missing weights for three specific days, and in interviews the DON confirmed that the daily weights were not completed as ordered and could not provide an explanation for the omissions.
Surveyors found that the facility failed to ensure proper infection prevention and control when two respiratory therapists entered the room of a resident on contact isolation for Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) without donning the required PPE. Facility policy and door signage both specified that a gown and gloves must be worn upon entering rooms of residents on contact isolation, yet the therapists entered without this equipment and later acknowledged they knew the resident was on contact isolation. Nursing leadership and the IP confirmed that the therapists were expected to wear a gown and gloves before entering the room.
Expired IV fluids were found in the medication supply room of an LTC facility. A 1000 ml bag of Potassium Chloride with an expiration date of April 2024 was discovered in the automated dispensing cabinet, available for resident use. Staff interviews revealed a failure in the process of checking and removing expired supplies, with both nursing and pharmacy staff acknowledging their roles in ensuring supplies are current.
A dietary aide failed to wear a gown when entering the room of a resident on Contact Isolation Precautions, contrary to the facility's policy. The aide believed gowns were only required for droplet precautions, a misunderstanding confirmed by interviews with the infection preventionist and nursing leadership.
Failure to Notify Physician of Significant Weight Gain in Dialysis Resident
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to immediately notify the physician of a significant weight change for one resident, as required by its own Nursing Standards of Practice and Documentation policy dated 10/2024. That policy states that on the day weights are obtained, the primary nurse will compare the admission weight to the current weight and determine if criteria have been met to notify the attending physician and dietician, and that the attending physician will be notified of a weight change from time of admission of plus or minus 10%. Review of the resident’s electronic medical record showed an admission weight of 138 pounds on 12/12/2025, a weight of 147 pounds on 12/15/2025, and a weight of 154 pounds on 12/16/2026, representing an 11.6% weight gain since admission, which met the facility’s threshold for mandatory physician notification. The resident had diagnoses including congestive heart failure, end stage renal disease, and was receiving hemodialysis. Despite the documented weight gain exceeding the 10% notification criterion, interviews with two registered nurses (S5 and S6) revealed that neither reported the weight gain to the nurse practitioner or physician. Further interviews confirmed that the resident’s nurse practitioner and nephrologist were not notified of the weight change. The nurse practitioner stated that, had he been informed, he would have notified the nephrologist. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the resident’s weight gain should have been reported to the nurse practitioner or doctor and was not, as required by facility policy.
Failure to Obtain Ordered Daily Weights for Resident on Dialysis
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to obtain and document daily weights as ordered by the physician for a resident with congestive heart failure and end stage renal disease who was receiving hemodialysis. The resident was admitted on 12/12/2025 with a physician’s order for daily weights starting that same date. Review of the electronic medical record showed that no weights were recorded on 12/17/2025, 12/18/2025, and 12/19/2025, despite the active order. During interviews on 02/24/2026 and 02/25/2026, the Director of Nursing confirmed there was no documented evidence that weights were obtained on those dates and acknowledged that the weights were not obtained as ordered, without offering an explanation for the missed weights. This deficiency is based on record review and staff interviews demonstrating that the facility did not provide treatment and care in accordance with physician orders for daily weights for this resident.
Failure of Respiratory Staff to Use Required PPE for Contact Isolation
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified a deficiency in the facility’s infection prevention and control program related to failure to follow contact isolation precautions. The facility’s Isolation Precautions policy, revised in 01/2025, required staff to follow contact isolation precautions, including donning fluid-resistant gowns and gloves upon entering the room of residents with known or suspected infections with epidemiologically important microorganisms. The policy defined PPE for contact isolation as a gown and gloves to be worn upon room entry. Resident #62’s electronic medical record dated 02/10/2026 documented that the resident was on contact isolation precautions for Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE). On observation, signage posted on Resident #62’s door instructed that contact isolation precautions were required and that everyone must put on a gown and gloves before entering the room. Despite this, two respiratory therapists, S7RT and S8RT, were observed entering Resident #62’s room without donning gowns or gloves. In subsequent interviews, both S7RT and S8RT acknowledged that the resident was on contact isolation precautions and that they had entered the room without wearing the required PPE. The charge nurse, DON, and infection preventionist each confirmed that, given the resident’s contact isolation status, the respiratory therapists should have worn a gown and gloves before entering the room.
Expired IV Fluids Found in Medication Supply Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that expired intravenous (IV) fluids were not available for use in the medication supply room. During an observation of the Medication Supply Room a, a 1000 milliliter (ml) bag of Potassium Chloride 10 mill equivalence (meq) with an expiration date of April 2024 was found in the automated dispensing cabinet (ADC), bin #28. This expired IV fluid was available for resident use, which is against the facility's policy that requires all medications and supplies to be within their expiration dates. Interviews with staff revealed a breakdown in the process of checking and removing expired medications and supplies. The S3Staff Registered Nurse indicated that the pharmacy department personnel were responsible for checking the ADC, but also acknowledged that the skilled nursing staff should ensure supplies are not expired. The Director of Nursing confirmed that expired supplies should not be available for use. The Pharmacy Operations Manager admitted that the expired bag of Potassium Chloride should not have been available, indicating a lapse in the pharmacy staff's responsibility to ensure all medications and IV fluids are current and not expired.
Failure to Adhere to Contact Isolation Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that dietary staff adhered to the infection prevention and control program, specifically regarding the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for a patient under Contact Isolation Precautions. During an observation, it was noted that a dietary aide entered the room of a patient on Contact Isolation Precautions without donning a gown, as required by the facility's policy. The policy mandates that a fluid-resistant gown and gloves be worn upon entering the room of a patient under such precautions, and removed before exiting, followed by hand hygiene. Interviews conducted with the dietary aide, the infection preventionist, the Director of Nursing, and the Director of Post-Acute Services confirmed that the dietary aide should have worn a gown when entering the patient's room. The dietary aide mistakenly believed that a gown was only necessary for droplet precautions, indicating a misunderstanding of the facility's Transmission Based Precautions policy. This oversight was acknowledged by the infection preventionist and the nursing leadership, highlighting a lapse in adherence to established infection control protocols.
