Infection Control Lapses During Beverage Service: Two CNAs failed to perform hand hygiene while refilling and returning residents’ drinking cups during meal service. One CNA handled two residents’ personal cups and used an ice scoop that repeatedly touched the ice in the container, while another CNA handled a resident’s used cup and returned it without hand hygiene. The corporate nurse stated hand hygiene should have been performed between handling residents’ cups and the ice scoop handle should not have touched the ice.
A resident receiving wound care had provider-ordered CBC, CMP, ESR, CRP, prealbumin, and Hgb A1c labs that were to be obtained every 3 months, but the facility had no documented evidence the tests were completed. The Treatment Nurse and Corporate Nurse both confirmed the ordered labs were not obtained as ordered.
An LPN performed catheter care for a resident with an indwelling Foley catheter and EBP without wearing a gown. Facility policy required gown and gloves for high-contact care involving indwelling devices, and the Infection Preventionist and Corporate Nurse both confirmed the PPE should have been used.
The facility failed to maintain safe and sanitary conditions in its shower rooms. In one room, an unlabeled spray bottle with an unknown pink liquid was used for cleaning, while in another, a sharps container was overflowing with used razors. Both issues were confirmed by staff and the Administrator.
The facility failed to document medications and physician orders for two residents, leading to concerns about whether prescribed care was administered. Medications such as Melatonin and Apixaban, along with orders for monitoring side effects and interventions, were not recorded. Interviews revealed staff confusion about blank spaces on the MAR, indicating incomplete documentation.
A medication cart was left unlocked and unattended in the hallway, contrary to the facility's policy requiring carts to be locked when not in use. An LPN admitted to leaving the cart unattended while administering medications to a resident.
The facility failed to comply with its food storage policy, as observed in the dry food storage room. An opened bottle of red food coloring lacked an opened date, and an expired bottle of soy sauce was improperly stored and available for use. Interviews with staff confirmed these items should have been labeled and discarded according to policy.
Infection Control Lapses During Beverage Service
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain infection control practices while distributing drinks in the dining room. During lunch, a CNA refilled residents’ personal drinking cups from a hydration cart that contained two large carafes on the top shelf and a clear container with ice and an ice scooper on the second shelf. The CNA picked up Resident #8’s personal drinking cup, opened the lid, used the ice scoop to add ice, and placed the scoop back into the ice container with the handle touching the ice. The CNA then picked up Resident #4’s personal drinking cup, removed the lid, used the same ice scoop to add ice, and again returned the scoop to the ice container with the handle touching the ice. The CNA did not perform hand hygiene between handling the two residents’ cups. At a later observation, another CNA picked up Resident #37’s used drinking cup and brought it to the first CNA, who refilled it with a beverage and ice and handed it back to the second CNA for return to the resident. During this interaction, the ice scoop was again replaced into the ice container with the handle touching the ice, and neither CNA performed hand hygiene. In interviews, the first CNA stated she did not perform hand hygiene between assisting the two residents and said she should sanitize her hands between assisting residents. The second CNA stated she did not perform hand hygiene before or after handling Resident #37’s drinking cup and said she should have. The corporate nurse stated both CNAs should have performed hand hygiene between handling residents’ drinking cups and that the ice scoop handle should not have come into contact with the ice in the container.
Failure to Complete Ordered Laboratory Tests
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure provider-ordered laboratory services were completed for one resident receiving wound care. A wound care provider progress note dated 02/25/2026 ordered a CBC, CMP, ESR, CRP, prealbumin level, and Hemoglobin A1c to be obtained during the first week of the month every 3 months. Review of the resident’s record showed no documented evidence that these laboratory tests were completed as ordered. On 03/23/2026, the Treatment Nurse was asked to provide the resident’s laboratory results and stated the facility was unable to present any documented evidence that the CBC, CMP, ESR, CRP, prealbumin, and Hemoglobin A1c had been obtained. The Treatment Nurse confirmed the tests were not obtained as ordered, and the Corporate Nurse also confirmed the resident did not have the ordered laboratory tests completed.
Failure to Use EBP PPE During Catheter Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure staff donned the required PPE during catheter care for a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP). Resident #61 had an indwelling Foley catheter and a care plan initiated for EBP related to the urinary catheter. The facility’s catheter care policy stated staff were to maintain infection control by using EBP when handling or manipulating a resident’s catheter drainage system, and the EBP policy stated gown and gloves were required during high-contact resident care activities for residents with indwelling medical devices, including urinary catheters. During observation, an LPN performed Resident #61’s catheter care without wearing a gown. In interviews, the LPN stated she should have donned PPE because the resident was on EBP. The Infection Preventionist and the Corporate Nurse both stated the LPN should have applied EBP PPE before providing the catheter care.
Unsafe and Unsanitary Conditions in Shower Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary environment in its shower rooms, as evidenced by two specific incidents. In shower room x, an unlabeled spray bottle containing an unknown pink liquid was found in a cabinet. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) admitted to using this unknown liquid to clean the shower stall after each use, but could not identify the substance. The Housekeeping Supervisor was unaware of any pink liquids used for cleaning in the facility, and both the CNA and the Administrator confirmed that the use of the unknown liquid was inappropriate. In shower room y, a sharps container was observed to be overflowing with four used shaving razors protruding from the top, preventing the container from closing securely. A Registered Nurse (RN) acknowledged responsibility for replacing full sharps containers and confirmed the container's condition was unacceptable. The Administrator also confirmed the issue with the overflowing sharps container, indicating a failure to maintain a safe environment in the shower room.
Failure to Document Medications and Physician Orders
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that medications and physician's orders were accurately documented on the medication administration record (MAR) for two residents. For Resident #3, several medications, including Melatonin, Rivaroxaban, Trazodone, and others, were not documented as administered on specific dates. Additionally, physician orders related to monitoring side effects of medications, interventions for depression, and other care directives were not documented as completed. This lack of documentation suggests that the prescribed care and monitoring were not carried out as required by the facility's medication administration policy. Similarly, for Resident #75, medications such as Apixaban, Juven supplement, and others were not documented on the MAR. Physician orders for monitoring side effects of medications, pain, and depression interventions were also not documented. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of understanding regarding the significance of blank spaces on the MAR, indicating that the medications and orders were not documented as completed. This failure to document raises concerns about whether the residents received the necessary care and monitoring as prescribed.
Unattended and Unlocked Medication Cart
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a medication cart was locked when unattended, which is a violation of their Storage of Medications policy. This policy, dated July 2024, mandates that medication carts containing drugs and biologicals should be locked when not in use and should not be left unattended if unlocked. On February 25, 2025, at 11:09 AM, medication cart c was observed to be left unlocked and unattended in the hallway for one minute. During an interview at 11:10 AM, an LPN admitted to leaving the cart unlocked and unattended while entering a resident's room to administer medications, acknowledging that this should not have occurred.
Deficiency in Food Labeling and Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its Dry Food Storage Policy, resulting in deficiencies related to food labeling and storage. During an observation of the dry food storage room, an opened bottle of red food coloring was found without an opened date or expiration date. Additionally, an opened bottle of soy sauce was discovered on a kitchen cart with an expiration date that had passed and an opened date, indicating it should have been refrigerated but was not. Interviews with the cook and dietary manager confirmed that the red food coloring should have been labeled with an opened date, and the expired soy sauce should have been discarded and not available for use.
