Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Maison D'acadiens Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident's discharge summary failed to include a recapitulation of the resident's stay and course of treatment, even though the resident was discharged to another facility. The record showed the resident left with a staff driver, and staff attempted to give report by phone but did not reach the receiving facility. The SSD and ADON both confirmed the discharge summary was incomplete.
Failure to provide needed grooming services for a resident with intact cognition and supervision/touch assistance for personal hygiene. The resident, who had MDD, anemia, CKD, and mild intellectual disability, was observed with long hair on multiple occasions and stated he preferred short hair but did not think the facility cut hair there. The Activity Director said the facility did not have a hairdresser coming regularly and had never asked the resident if he wanted a haircut; when asked later by the CNA Supervisor, the resident said he wanted it cut short.
Kitchen sanitation standards were not followed when surveyors observed a heavily soiled floor with unknown brown substances and food items, along with an uncovered crate under the sink holding multiple dirty towels. The Dietary Manager stated the used towels were being placed there because there was nowhere else to store them and confirmed the floor was dirty and the towels were not stored appropriately.
Infection Control Lapse During Wound Care: A resident with a diabetic foot ulcer and multiple chronic conditions received wound care from a treatment nurse who failed to remove soiled gloves after removing the old dressing, reached into the clean field with contaminated gloves, cleaned the wound without changing gloves, and placed a soiled 4x4 into the clean field. The nurse confirmed the actions during observation.
The facility failed to ensure proper food storage, preparation, and sanitation in the kitchen. Expired and undated food items were found, insect droppings were observed in the dry food storage room, and kitchen utensils were improperly stored. Additionally, refrigerated food items lacked proper labeling, and soiled kitchen linens were not properly handled. Staff confirmed these deficiencies, indicating non-compliance with the facility's food storage policies.
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, leading to the presence of flies in the kitchen, Activity room, and a resident's room. Despite monthly pest control services, insect droppings were found in the dry food storage room, and staff confirmed the ongoing issue.
The facility failed to transmit MDS Assessments within the required 14 days for two residents. One resident's Quarterly MDS Assessment and another's Annual MDS Assessment were both submitted late. The Corporate RN confirmed the delay, and the Administrator was unsure why these specific assessments were not transmitted on time.
A facility failed to ensure an accurate Resident Assessment for a resident with multiple diagnoses, resulting in a transcription error that incorrectly recorded the resident's BIMS score. Interviews and assessments confirmed the resident's cognitive status had not changed, but the error led to an inaccurate MDS record.
A resident with multiple respiratory conditions was observed receiving oxygen at 3 liters per minute instead of the ordered 2 liters per minute. Interviews with the DON and an LPN confirmed that the oxygen concentrator should have been set to 2 liters per minute, indicating a failure to follow the prescribed oxygen therapy regimen.
The facility failed to ensure that residents who were unable to carry out ADLs received necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene. Three residents with severe cognitive impairment and physical dependencies were observed with long, untrimmed fingernails, thick facial hair, and poor oral hygiene. Interviews with the DON confirmed that CNAs were responsible for these care activities, but they were not consistently performed.
The facility failed to properly dispose of garbage and refuse, as observed on multiple occasions with the dumpster doors left open and trash surrounding the area. This was confirmed by staff members, despite the facility's policy requiring covered containers and clean storage areas.
Discharge Summary Missing Recapitulation of Resident Stay
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the discharge summary for one resident included a recapitulation of the resident's stay in the facility. Resident #66 was admitted on 03/31/2026 and discharged on 04/10/2026 to another facility. Review of the discharge summary showed only that the resident was discharged to another facility and did not include a concise summary of the resident's stay and course of treatment in the facility, as required by the facility policy titled Discharge Summary and Plan. The resident's progress notes documented that the resident left at 8:00 a.m. with the staff driver in transport to the new facility, and staff attempted to call and give report but received no answer and left a message on the nursing facility's answering machine. During interview, the SSD confirmed the discharge summary did not include a recapitulation of the resident's stay, and the ADON confirmed it should have.
Failure to Provide Needed Hair Grooming
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a resident received the necessary services to maintain good grooming. Resident #54, admitted on 05/06/2025 with diagnoses including Major Depressive Disorder, Anemia, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Mild Intellectual Disability, had an Annual MDS dated 05/13/2026 that indicated a BIMS score of 15 and required supervision/touch assistance with personal hygiene. The facility policy on Activities of Daily Living stated residents would be provided care and services to maintain or improve their ability to carry out ADLs, including hygiene, bathing, dressing, grooming, and oral care. During observation on 06/07/2026 at 10:05 a.m. and again on 06/08/2026 at 10:30 a.m., Resident #54 was observed with hair about 4 inches long at the back of the head and little hair on top. The resident stated he liked his hair cut short but did not think the facility cut hair there. During interview on 06/08/2026, the Activity Director stated the facility did not have a hairdresser coming on a regular basis and said she had never asked Resident #54 if he wanted his hair cut. Later that day, the CNA Supervisor asked the resident if he wanted his hair cut, and he stated that he would like it cut short.
Kitchen Sanitation and Soiled Towel Storage Deficiency
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, surveyors found the floor heavily soiled with unknown brown substances and food items. Underneath the sink, an uncovered crate contained multiple dirty and soiled towels. The Dietary Manager stated that used and dirty towels were being thrown into the uncovered crate under the sink because there was nowhere else to place them, and confirmed that the kitchen floor was dirty and the towels should have been stored appropriately elsewhere, but had not.
Infection Control Lapse During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
Provide and implement an infection prevention and control program was deficient when staff did not maintain proper glove use and hand hygiene during wound care for Resident #10. The resident was admitted to the facility with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following a CVA affecting the non-dominant side, a non-pressure chronic ulcer to the left heel, cirrhosis of the liver, type 2 diabetes mellitus, traumatic subdural hemorrhage without loss of consciousness, and chronic viral hepatitis C. Physician orders directed daily application of Dakin's solution to the left plantar heel and dressing coverage for a diabetic foot ulcer. During observation of wound care, the treatment nurse removed the old dressing but did not remove the soiled gloves before reaching into the clean field. The nurse used the soiled gloves to obtain a clean 4x4 and clean the wound, then placed the soiled 4x4 onto the clean field before removing gloves. The nurse confirmed she did not remove gloves after removing the soiled bandage, cleaned the wound without changing soiled gloves, and placed a soiled 4x4 into the clean field, stating she should not have done so.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Kitchen Sanitation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food was properly stored, prepared, distributed, and served in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. During an initial tour of the kitchen, expired and undated food items were found on the shelves, including hamburger buns with past expiration dates. Additionally, the dry food storage room was observed to have insect droppings on the shelves, indicating a lack of cleanliness and pest control. Kitchen utensils such as scoops were improperly stored inside food containers, and refrigerated food items were found without proper labeling or dating. Soiled kitchen linens were also improperly stored in a laundry basket within the kitchen area. Interviews with staff confirmed these findings, with admissions that the shelves in the dry food storage room had not been cleaned and that the weekend staff had failed to take dirty kitchen towels to the laundry. The facility's policy and procedure for food storage were not followed, leading to these deficiencies. The total facility census at the time was 63 residents.
Failure to Maintain Effective Pest Control Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, which had the potential to affect all 63 residents. During an initial tour of the kitchen, multiple flies were observed flying around. The Dietary Manager (DM) attributed this to the weekend staff possibly leaving the door open. Further inspection of the kitchen's dry food storage room revealed multiple dark brown insect droppings on top of the storage shelves, which was confirmed by the Cook. The facility's pest control service receipts indicated that exterminating services were provided monthly, with the last treatment on 04/12/2024. Additional observations revealed flies in the Activity room and a resident's room. An LPN was seen swatting a fly away and confirmed the presence of flies throughout the facility. The Administrator also confirmed these findings. Despite having a policy and monthly pest control services, the facility did not effectively prevent or manage the presence of pests, leading to the observed deficiencies.
Untimely Transmission of MDS Assessments
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to transmit MDS (Minimum Data Set) Assessments within the required 14 days of completion for two residents. Resident #14's Quarterly MDS Assessment with an ARD (Assessment Reference Date) of 03/07/2024 was submitted on 04/15/2024. Similarly, Resident #43's Annual MDS Assessment with an ARD of 02/29/2024 was also submitted on 04/15/2024. During an interview, the Corporate RN confirmed that these assessments were not transmitted timely. The Administrator acknowledged that the facility had recently completed a QAPI plan regarding untimely transmissions but was unsure why these specific assessments were delayed. A review of the facility's MDS transmission performance improvement monitoring showed that several assessments were transmitted on 03/22/2024, but the assessments for Resident #14 and Resident #43 were not transmitted until 04/15/2024.
Inaccurate Resident Assessment Due to Transcription Error
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a Resident Assessment accurately reflected the cognition status for one resident. The resident, who had diagnoses including Polyneuropathy, Spinal Stenosis, Urine Retention, Transient Paralysis, and Rhabdomyolysis, was found to have discrepancies in their BIMS scores between two quarterly MDS assessments. The BIMS score on the Quarterly MDS with an ARD of 12/21/2023 was 10, indicating the resident was interviewable and had a certain level of cognitive function. However, the Quarterly MDS with an ARD of 03/21/2024 incorrectly recorded a BIMS score of 01, despite the resident demonstrating similar cognitive abilities during interviews and assessments conducted around the same time. Interviews with the resident confirmed that they were able to answer questions appropriately and recall events, indicating no significant change in cognitive status. The S3 Corporate RN and S7 SSD both confirmed that the BIMS score of 01 on the Quarterly MDS with an ARD of 03/21/2024 was a transcription error. The S7 SSD, who was responsible for conducting and inputting the BIMS information, acknowledged the mistake and confirmed that the resident had actually scored a 10. This error led to an inaccurate assessment of the resident's cognitive status in the facility's records.
Failure to Administer Oxygen Therapy as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure services were provided to meet professional standards of practice by not delivering oxygen therapy as ordered for a resident with multiple respiratory conditions. The resident, who had diagnoses including COPD, dementia, and acute and chronic respiratory failure, was observed receiving oxygen at 3 liters per minute via nasal cannula, contrary to the physician's order of 2 liters per minute continuously. This discrepancy was noted during observations on two separate occasions on the same day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, both times confirming the incorrect oxygen flow rate. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and an Agency Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) revealed that there had been no reported changes to the resident's oxygen orders, and the LPN had not adjusted the oxygen concentrator. The DON confirmed that the oxygen concentrator should have been set to deliver oxygen at 2 liters per minute as per the physician's orders. The failure to adhere to the prescribed oxygen therapy regimen indicates a lapse in following professional standards of practice and ensuring the resident's care plan was properly implemented.
Failure to Provide Adequate ADL Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents who were unable to carry out Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) received the necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene. Specifically, the facility did not provide adequate oral care and nail care to three dependent residents. Resident #9, who had severe cognitive impairment and required extensive assistance with all ADLs, was observed with long, untrimmed fingernails and thick facial hair. Despite the resident's request for grooming, the necessary care was not provided. Similarly, Resident #10, a quadriplegic with severe cognitive impairment, was found with a chalky film on his lips, foul mouth odor, long fingernails, and unshaven facial hair. The resident reported that no one had offered to brush his teeth before or after breakfast. Resident #26, who also had severe cognitive impairment and was totally dependent on staff, was observed with thick facial hair and dirty fingernails. The resident indicated it had been weeks since he was last shaved or had his fingernails cleaned. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) were responsible for providing nail care, oral care, and shaving during baths and as needed. However, the observations and resident interviews revealed that these care activities were not consistently performed. The facility's policy on ADLs, which mandates that residents unable to perform ADLs independently should receive necessary services to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene, was not adhered to in these cases. The failure to provide these essential care services was evident in the physical condition and complaints of the residents involved.
Improper Disposal of Garbage and Refuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to dispose of garbage and refuse properly, as observed on multiple occasions. On 04/15/2024 at 5:45 a.m., the facility dumpster doors were found open with several white trash bags inside and pieces of paper trash on the ground surrounding the dumpster. This observation was confirmed by S4 DM, who acknowledged that the dumpster doors should have been closed and the area cleaned. Later, at 8:30 a.m., the same issue was observed again in the presence of S1 Administrator and S2 DON, who also confirmed that the dumpster doors were open and should have been closed. The facility's policy requires that garbage and refuse containers be kept covered when not in continuous use and that storage areas be kept clean and free of litter, which was not adhered to in this instance.
