Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Alliance Health At Braintree during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain an ice machine in a sanitary condition, with mold observed on components and improper cleaning practices by the DOM. Additionally, a resident's personal refrigerator was found in an unsanitary state, with moldy food and no temperature monitoring, despite the facility's policy requiring residents or families to maintain it. The facility lacked effective oversight and adherence to its policies, potentially compromising resident safety.
A resident with non-Alzheimer's dementia attempted suicide in a facility, but the care plan was not updated to address suicidal ideation. The resident had a history of UTIs with delirium, and staff believed the suicide attempt was related to this. Despite this, no specific care plan was developed for the resident's new diagnosis of suicidal ideation.
Deficiencies in Food Safety and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards of practice for food safety and sanitation, which could potentially lead to the spread of foodborne illness among residents. The first issue identified was the improper maintenance of an ice machine in one of the kitchenettes. Observations revealed pink and black discoloration, identified as mold, on the plastic components inside the ice machine, with condensation dripping into the ice cubes. The Director of Maintenance (DOM) admitted to cleaning the ice machine monthly but acknowledged using an incorrect bleach-to-water ratio and not cleaning the top components regularly. The facility did not have a contract with the servicing company, resulting in delayed cleanings, with the last service occurring eight months prior, contrary to the recommended quarterly schedule. The second issue involved the failure to ensure safe and sanitary storage of food items in a resident's personal refrigerator/freezer. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment, was unable to recall when the food items were placed in the refrigerator. The surveyor found the refrigerator/freezer in an unsanitary condition, with no thermometer, condensation, stains, and a build-up of ice. Food items were undated, and some were visibly moldy. The facility's policy stated that residents or their families were responsible for maintaining personal refrigerators, but the resident's Health Care Proxy (HCP) indicated they could not maintain it, leading to a request for its removal. The facility's policies for maintaining the ice machine and personal refrigerators were not effectively implemented, resulting in unsanitary conditions that could compromise resident safety. The DOM and the Administrator acknowledged lapses in the cleaning schedule and the lack of a formal contract for regular servicing of the ice machine. Additionally, the Director of Nursing (DON) was unaware of how the facility ensured families maintained safe and sanitary storage of food, highlighting a gap in oversight and accountability for personal refrigerators.
Failure to Develop Individualized Care Plan for Suicidal Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement an individualized, comprehensive care plan for a resident following a suicide attempt. The resident, who was admitted with non-Alzheimer's dementia and had moderate cognitive impairment, attempted suicide by trying to choke themselves with a hospital gown. This incident occurred after the resident exhibited agitation and self-harm behavior, leading to a 911 call and subsequent hospitalization. Upon review, it was found that the facility did not update the resident's care plan to address the new diagnosis of suicidal ideation. The existing care plans addressed mood state, behavioral symptoms, and a urinary tract infection but did not include specific interventions for the resident's suicidal ideation. The social worker acknowledged the lack of an updated care plan and mentioned that the psychiatric nurse practitioner was unavailable to see the resident. Interviews with facility staff revealed that the Director of Nursing believed the suicide attempt was due to delirium from a urinary tract infection, which the resident had a history of experiencing. Despite this belief, the facility did not create a care plan to address the resident's suicidal ideation, leaving a significant gap in the resident's care management.
