Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at St Anthony Community Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A CNA was observed passing ice to residents without performing hand hygiene between resident contacts or after leaving one room before entering another. The CNA, IP, ADON, and Administrator all stated hand hygiene should have been performed between each resident contact, consistent with the facility’s hand hygiene policy.
A resident’s care plan identified a self-care deficit related to weakness, but it did not include the resident’s need for substantial/maximal staff assistance with showers/baths. The MDS showed the resident required that level of help, and the ADON and Clinical Coordinator confirmed the care plan did not address the bathing assistance need as required.
A resident who required substantial/maximal assistance with showers/baths and had a self-care deficit related to weakness missed a scheduled bath/shower. The resident, who was cognitively intact, reported the missed care to her daughter, and the SW and ADON confirmed there was no documented evidence that the bath/shower occurred as scheduled.
Pressure ulcer care was not administered as ordered for a resident with a stage 3 PU. Records showed two separate wounds, one on the sacrum and one on the buttocks, but documentation and treatment records reflected care only for the sacral wound. A wound care NP later confirmed separate orders for both wounds, while an LPN/Treatment Nurse stated she did not recognize the resident as having two separate PUs and did not follow the updated wound care orders.
Failure to follow an oxygen order for a resident. The resident had an order for oxygen at 4 L/min via NC every shift, but surveyors observed the resident receiving continuous oxygen at 2.5 L/min via oxygen concentrator. An LPN confirmed the resident should not have been receiving oxygen at 2.5 L/min, and the Administrator stated the Hospice Nurse was about to write an order to change the setting.
Failure to use beard restraint during food prep: The Dietary Manager was observed in the kitchen with facial hair on his lip and chin while exposed food was present, but without a beard restraint. This was observed on two occasions, and the Administrator stated the facial hair was not long and did not think a beard restraint was required.
Failure to notify the assigned LTC Ombudsman in writing of a resident discharge. A resident was discharged from the facility, but review of the transfer log showed the Ombudsman was not notified, and the Social Worker confirmed she did not send the required written notice. The Ombudsman also confirmed she did not receive a discharge notice, and the Administrator stated she was not aware of the written notification requirement.
The facility failed to ensure proper food storage and labeling, as opened food items were found without labels or dates. Hand hygiene practices were inadequate, with a staff member using a trashcan without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene. Additionally, the ice machine was not maintained in a sanitary condition, with black and crusty substances found inside, and the ice was still used for resident consumption.
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene during wound and incontinence care, and did not promptly decontaminate a blood spill. An ADON did not perform hand hygiene between handling soiled and clean dressings, and two CNAs did not change gloves or wash hands during incontinence care. Additionally, an LPN cleaned blood from a resident's bleeding foot but left a trail of blood spots in the hallway unaddressed, contrary to facility policy.
A resident with a Stage 3 pressure ulcer did not receive the prescribed care, as heel boots were not applied while in bed, contrary to physician orders. Observations over several days showed the resident's heels in direct contact with the bed, and staff interviews confirmed the oversight.
A resident's medications, including a multivitamin and liquid protein supplement, were found unsecured and unattended on their bedside table over several days. Interviews revealed that the medications had been left unsecured since the end of September, with an LPN aware of the issue but not reporting it due to being new. Another LPN confirmed that medications should be secured, indicating a breach in the facility's policy.
The facility failed to report a resident's elopement and delayed reporting missing narcotics. A resident with dementia was found outside the facility unsupervised, and the incident was not reported to the state survey agency. Additionally, 60 Percocet pills were reported missing, but the facility delayed reporting this to the state survey agency.
Failure to Perform Hand Hygiene Between Resident Contacts
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure hand hygiene procedures were implemented by staff for 4 of 9 sampled residents investigated for infection control: Resident #19, Resident #22, Resident #58, and Resident #82. Review of the facility’s Handwashing/Hand Hygiene Policy dated August 2015 stated that staff were to perform hand hygiene after contact with objects in the immediate vicinity of the resident. On 12/01/2025 at 10:45 AM, S5 Certified Nursing Assistant was observed passing ice to residents in Room a and did not perform hand hygiene between passing ice to Resident #58 and Resident #22, who shared the room. The same CNA also did not perform hand hygiene after leaving Room a before passing ice to residents in Room b. At 10:50 AM, S5 Certified Nursing Assistant did not perform hand hygiene between passing ice to Resident #82 and Resident #19 in their shared room, Room b. During interviews on 12/01/2025, 12/02/2025, and 12/03/2025, S5 Certified Nursing Assistant, the Infection Preventionist, the ADON, and the Administrator all indicated that hand hygiene should have been performed between each resident contact and that the CNA should have performed hand hygiene between passing ice to each resident.
Care Plan Did Not Address Assistance With Showers/Baths
Penalty
Summary
Resident #10’s comprehensive care plan did not address the resident’s need for staff assistance with showers/baths, despite the resident’s Comprehensive MDS with an Assessment Reference Date of 09/16/2025 indicating substantial/maximal assistance was required for showers/baths. The care plan identified a self-care deficit related to weakness, but it did not include the resident’s frequency and/or need for substantial/maximal staff assistance with showers/baths or include measurable objectives and timeframes for that need. During the survey, the ADON and Clinical Coordinator confirmed that the care plan did not address the resident’s need for assistance with showers/baths as required.
Missed Scheduled Bath for Dependent Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a dependent resident received assistance with showers/baths. Resident #10’s MDS showed a BIMS score of 14, indicating she was cognitively intact, and that she required substantial/maximal assistance from staff with showers/baths. Her care plan identified a self-care deficit related to weakness, and her bath schedule was Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Resident #10 stated that she did not receive her scheduled shower/bath on Friday, 11/28/2025, and that she did not receive a shower/bath until Monday, 12/01/2025. Review of the care task log and documentation survey report for November 2025 showed no documented evidence that she received a shower/bath on 11/28/2025. The resident’s daughter reported the missed bath to the social worker, and the ADON confirmed there was no documented evidence that the bath/shower occurred on that date.
Pressure Ulcer Care Not Administered as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to administer pressure ulcer care as prescribed for one resident with a stage 3 pressure ulcer. The resident’s MDS dated 11/03/2025 identified a stage 3 pressure ulcer, and a contracted wound care progress note dated 11/10/2025 documented two pressure ulcers: one on the sacrum and one on the buttocks. However, the skin and wound evaluations for November and December 2025 showed an evaluation only for the sacral pressure ulcer dated 11/24/2025, with no documented skin and wound evaluation for the buttock pressure ulcer. The electronic treatment administration record for November and December 2025 also showed orders only for the sacral pressure ulcer. A physician order dated 11/24/2025 directed cleansing the sacral ulcer, applying gentian violet to the peri-wound, applying triad cream to the outer peri-wound, packing and covering the wound with hydro fiber silver dressing, and covering it with a foam dressing twice weekly and as needed. A contracted wound care provider note dated 12/01/2025 documented separate wound care orders for the sacral wound and the right middle buttock wound. During an interview on 12/03/2025, the wound care nurse practitioner confirmed the resident had two separate pressure ulcers and stated the sacral ulcer no longer required gentian violet. Later that day, observation showed the resident had an open area on the sacrum and a separate open area on the left buttocks, and the treatment nurse applied gentian violet to both areas. The treatment nurse stated she did not assess or document the resident as having two separate pressure ulcers and was not aware of the updated wound care orders, and the ADON stated the nurse should have clarified and implemented the changes and documented the resident as having two separate pressure ulcers.
Failure to Follow Oxygen Order
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow a physician's order for oxygen administration for Resident #84. The resident had an order dated 11/05/2025 for oxygen at 4 liters per minute via nasal cannula every shift, but an observation on 12/01/2025 at 11:07 AM showed the resident receiving continuous oxygen at 2.5 liters per minute via oxygen concentrator. During an interview on 12/02/2025 at 2:15 PM, an LPN stated the resident had an order for oxygen at 4 liters per minute and should not have been receiving oxygen at 2.5 liters per minute. Later that day, the Administrator was informed of the findings and stated the resident's Hospice Nurse was about to write an order to change the oxygen setting to 2.5 liters per minute.
Failure to Use Beard Restraint During Food Preparation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a dietary employee, the Dietary Manager, wore a beard restraint while handling and preparing food. During kitchen observations, the Dietary Manager was seen standing in a food preparation area with exposed food present and facial hair on his lip and chin, but without a beard restraint. This was observed on two separate occasions, and the Administrator was informed of the findings during interview. The Administrator stated the Dietary Manager's facial hair was not long and did not think a beard restraint was required, and offered no explanation or evidence to refute the deficient practice.
Failure to Notify Ombudsman of Resident Discharge
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the assigned State Long-Term Care Ombudsman in writing of a resident's discharge for 1 resident reviewed for discharge requirements. Resident #81 was discharged from the facility on 08/14/2025, and review of the facility's Emergency Transfer Log for August 2025 and September 2025 showed the assigned Long-Term Care Ombudsman was not notified of the discharge. During an interview, the Social Worker stated she did not notify the facility's assigned State Long-Term Care Ombudsman in writing when Resident #81 was discharged, and the Ombudsman later confirmed she had not received a written discharge notice. The Administrator stated she was not aware the Ombudsman had to be notified in writing when a resident was discharged and offered no further explanation to refute the deficient practice.
Deficiencies in Food Storage, Hand Hygiene, and Ice Machine Sanitation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper food storage and labeling practices, as observed during a survey. An opened package of cooked sliced meat was found in an unsealed bag without a label or date in the reach-in cooler. Additionally, several opened containers of seasonings in the kitchen preparation area lacked opened dates. The Food Service Manager confirmed these items were not labeled or dated as required by the facility's policy. Furthermore, the facility's hand hygiene practices were inadequate. A trashcan in the kitchen preparation area had a manually opening lid, and a staff member was observed using the trashcan without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene afterward. The facility also failed to maintain its ice machine in a sanitary condition. A black substance was found inside the ice compartment, which the Food Service Manager wiped away with a paper towel. The ice machine was not cleaned after this observation, and further inspections revealed a grey and white crusty substance and black flaky substance in the ice compartment. The ice machine had not been emptied or cleaned, and the ice was still being used for resident consumption. The Administrator and Director of Nursing acknowledged the presence of the foreign substance and agreed that the ice should be discarded, and the machine cleaned before further use.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Hand Hygiene and Blood Spill Management
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene during wound care and incontinence care, as well as timely decontamination of a blood spill. During an observation, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) did not perform hand hygiene between removing a soiled dressing and cleaning a wound on a resident with a pressure ulcer, contrary to the facility's policy. The ADON acknowledged the failure to adhere to the policy. Additionally, two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene while providing incontinence care to a resident with severe cognitive impairment and a sacral pressure ulcer, despite the facility's policy requiring hand hygiene after contact with residents and before moving from a contaminated to a clean body site. Furthermore, the facility did not promptly address a blood spill in a hallway. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) cleaned blood from the floor near a resident's bleeding foot but failed to clean a trail of blood spots down the hallway. Staff, a resident, and a family member walked over or around the blood spots without being alerted to the hazard. The facility's policy requires blood spills to be cleaned and decontaminated as soon as practical, but this was not followed, leading to potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Failure to Implement Pressure Ulcer Treatment Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to a resident's pressure ulcer treatment plan as per physician's orders. Resident #19, who was admitted with Alzheimer's Disease, Peripheral Vascular Disease, and a need for assistance with personal care, had a Stage 3 pressure ulcer on the right heel. The treatment plan included the use of heel boots while in bed to prevent further injury. However, observations on multiple occasions revealed that the resident's heels were in direct contact with the bed surface, and the heel boots were not applied as ordered. Interviews with staff, including an LPN and the Director of Nursing, confirmed the non-compliance with the treatment plan. The LPN was unaware that the heel boots were still ordered, and CNAs failed to apply the boots after providing care. This lack of adherence to the prescribed treatment plan was observed over several days, indicating a systemic issue in following physician orders for pressure ulcer care.
Unsecured Medication Storage in Resident's Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all medications were stored securely, as evidenced by the unsecured and unattended medications found in a resident's room. Specifically, a bottle of Centrum Silver Men 50+ Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement and Pro-Stat Concentrated Liquid Protein were observed on the bedside table of a resident on multiple occasions. These observations were made on three separate days, indicating a consistent failure to adhere to the facility's policy of storing all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments. Interviews with the resident and nursing staff revealed that the medications had been left unsecured since the end of September 2024. The resident confirmed that the nursing staff administered these supplements to him every morning but left them unattended. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) acknowledged awareness of the issue but did not report it due to being new to the facility. Another LPN confirmed that residents were not allowed to keep medications unsecured and unattended, highlighting a breach in the facility's medication storage policy.
Failure to Report Elopement and Missing Narcotics
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an episode of elopement involving a resident diagnosed with dementia and severe cognitive impairment. The resident was found outside the facility on a ramp leading to a nearby store. Despite the resident's condition making it unsafe for her to leave unsupervised, the incident was not reported to the state survey agency as required. Both the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator confirmed the elopement and acknowledged the failure to report it to the appropriate authorities. Additionally, the facility did not report an allegation of missing narcotics within the required 24-hour timeframe. A night shift nurse reported that 60 Percocet pills prescribed to another resident were missing from the medication cart. The facility's documentation showed that the incident was reported to the state survey agency several weeks later, well beyond the 24-hour requirement. The DON confirmed the delay in reporting the missing medication.
