Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Life Care Center Of Raynham during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to follow professional standards for food safety and sanitation, risking foodborne illness among residents. Observations revealed undated food items in the kitchen and kitchenettes, contrary to facility policies requiring labeling. Additionally, two ice machines were found with unsanitary residue, despite a maintenance schedule. The Food Service Director and Director of Maintenance acknowledged these issues.
A LTC facility failed to implement proper infection control measures for residents, leading to potential contamination and infection spread. Two residents with COPD had improperly maintained respiratory equipment, with oxygen tubing exposed to contaminants. Another resident with severe cognitive impairment had feces on their hands while eating, without proper hand hygiene. Additionally, a CNA did not follow contact precautions for a resident with C. diff, failing to use PPE and perform hand hygiene, risking infection spread.
A facility failed to create a care plan for a resident on anticoagulant medication, despite the resident's history of venous thrombosis and embolism. The resident had been receiving Apixaban as ordered, but the care plan lacked any mention of this high-risk medication. Interviews with staff confirmed the absence of a necessary care plan for the anticoagulant.
The facility failed to ensure physician's orders were in place for treatments for two residents. One resident used compression stockings for edema without a documented order, while another used an air mattress for pain management without an order. Interviews confirmed that orders and care plans should have been documented for these treatments.
A resident with dementia and paraplegia developed a pressure ulcer on the coccyx, which was not promptly assessed by the wound team, leading to a delay in treatment. Despite the facility's policy requiring weekly wound assessments, the ulcer was not documented or evaluated by the wound team until several days after its discovery. This oversight resulted in the resident being hospitalized for a worsening infection and requiring surgical intervention.
A resident with a chronic urinary catheter was at risk for UTIs due to improper placement of the catheter drainage bag, which was observed resting on the floor contrary to facility policy. Interviews with staff confirmed the bag should not have been on the floor, as it increases contamination risk.
A facility failed to act on a Consultant Pharmacist's recommendation for a dose reduction of antidepressants for a resident with dementia and depression. The recommendation, made in August 2024, was not addressed by the physician, and subsequent reviews did not follow up on the issue. Interviews revealed that the process for handling such recommendations was not followed, leading to the deficiency.
Food Safety and Sanitation Deficiencies in Facility
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. During an inspection, it was observed that several food items in the main kitchen and kitchenettes were not properly dated or stored. Items such as sliced pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, breadsticks, French fries, cottage cheese, and sliced cheese were found without dates. Similarly, in the unit kitchenettes, opened bottles of vegetable juice, prune juice, and nutritional shakes were not dated, despite manufacturer instructions requiring them to be used within a specific timeframe after opening or thawing. The facility's policies on food safety and handling, which require all opened food items to be labeled and dated, were not followed. Dietary staff, responsible for maintaining the kitchenettes, failed to ensure that food and beverage items were properly labeled and dated. The Food Service Director confirmed that all opened items should have been labeled with the date they were opened, and the nutritional shakes should have been labeled with a thaw date to comply with the manufacturer's instructions. Additionally, the facility did not maintain two of its ice machines in a clean and sanitary condition. Observations revealed yellow and black residue on the interior of the ice machines, including areas where ice was made and stored. Despite a maintenance schedule indicating regular cleaning, the ice machines were found to be in unsanitary conditions. The Director of Maintenance acknowledged the need for cleaning, and the Administrator expected the ice machines to be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition at all times.
Infection Control Deficiencies in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement proper infection control measures for four residents, leading to potential contamination and spread of infection. For two residents with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the facility did not maintain respiratory equipment in a clean and sanitary manner. One resident's nasal cannula oxygen tubing was repeatedly observed lying on the floor and hanging on the bed rail, exposing it to environmental contaminants. Despite the resident's moderate cognitive impairment, staff did not ensure the equipment was stored in a bag when not in use. Another resident's oxygen tubing was not changed as scheduled, and the tubing used was dated from a previous week, indicating a lapse in following physician's orders and facility policy. Another deficiency involved a resident with severe cognitive impairment who had feces on their hands and under their fingernails. Despite the presence of feces, the resident was observed eating meals without proper hand hygiene being performed. Staff interviews revealed that the resident had a behavior of touching feces, but the facility failed to ensure that hand hygiene was consistently maintained before meals, as required by the facility's policy. Additionally, the facility did not adhere to contact precaution measures for a resident with Clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection. A CNA entered the resident's room without donning the required personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gowns and gloves, and did not perform hand hygiene before or after entering the room. The CNA also failed to notice the contact precautions sign outside the resident's room, indicating a lack of awareness and adherence to infection control protocols. These lapses in infection control practices posed a risk of spreading infections within the facility.
Failure to Develop Care Plan for Anticoagulant Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement an individualized, person-centered care plan for a resident who was prescribed an anticoagulant medication. The resident, admitted in November 2020, had a history of venous thrombosis and embolism and was receiving Apixaban, an anticoagulant, as per physician's orders since May 2024. Despite the administration of this high-risk medication, the resident's care plan did not include any specific plan addressing the use of the anticoagulant. Interviews with facility staff, including a nurse, a unit manager, and the Director of Nurses, confirmed the absence of a care plan for the anticoagulant medication. The staff acknowledged that residents on high-risk medications, such as anticoagulants, should have a corresponding care plan. The lack of a comprehensive care plan for the anticoagulant medication was identified as a deficiency during the review of the resident's medical records and care plan documentation.
Lack of Physician's Orders for Treatments
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to meet professional standards of practice for two residents, specifically in ensuring physician's orders were in place for certain treatments. Resident #5, who was admitted with chronic diastolic heart failure, was observed wearing compression stockings for bilateral lower extremity edema. However, there was no physician's order or care plan documented for the use of these stockings. During interviews, both Nurse #1 and the Director of Nursing confirmed that a physician's order and care plan should have been in place for the compression stockings. Similarly, Resident #35, admitted with spinal stenosis and other conditions, was using an air mattress for pain management. The resident reported frequent pain affecting sleep and had a pain intensity rating of 8 out of 10. Despite the use of an air mattress, there was no physician's order documented for it. Interviews with Nurse #7 and Unit Manager #3 revealed that an order and care plan should have been documented for the air mattress as a treatment for pain. The lack of physician's orders and care plans for these treatments indicates a failure in the facility's processes to ensure that all treatments are properly documented and authorized. This deficiency was identified through observations, interviews, and record reviews conducted by the surveyors.
Failure to Timely Assess and Treat Pressure Ulcer
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide necessary treatment and services for a resident with a pressure ulcer, consistent with professional standards of practice. The resident, who was admitted with diagnoses including dementia and paraplegia, developed a pressure ulcer on the coccyx. The ulcer was first identified on 5/21/24, but the facility did not ensure that the wound was assessed by the wound team promptly, resulting in a delay in treatment. The facility's policy required that wounds be assessed and documented at least weekly, and any changes should prompt immediate notification to the wound team and provider. Despite the identification of the wound on 5/21/24, the medical record showed no evidence of assessment by the wound team until 5/30/24. During this period, weekly skin integrity assessments failed to document the presence or status of the wound. Interviews with nursing staff revealed a lack of recall regarding the resident's skin status and the necessary steps to be taken when a wound is discovered. The Director of Nurses confirmed that the wound should have been observed by the wound team as soon as possible, but this did not occur. The delay in proper assessment and treatment led to the resident being sent to the hospital for a worsening infection, where they were diagnosed with an infected sacral ulcer. The resident required surgical intervention for debridement due to the severity of the infection. The facility's failure to adhere to its policies and ensure timely wound care and assessment contributed to the deterioration of the resident's condition.
Failure to Prevent UTI Due to Improper Catheter Bag Placement
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure appropriate care and services to prevent the development of urinary tract infections (UTIs) for a resident with a chronic urinary catheter. The facility's policy on Indwelling Urinary Catheter Management, which was reviewed in September 2024, mandates that catheter bags should not rest on the floor to prevent contamination and infection. However, during an observation on January 3, 2025, the surveyor noted that the resident's Foley catheter drainage bag was attached to the bed frame and resting directly on the floor without being placed in a privacy bag. Interviews with the Unit Manager and the Director of Nurses confirmed that the catheter bag should not have been resting on the floor, as it poses a risk for contamination. The resident, who was admitted in September 2024 with a history of UTIs and a chronic urinary catheter, had been started on an antibiotic for a UTI on January 3, 2025. The failure to adhere to the facility's policy regarding catheter maintenance contributed to the risk of infection for the resident.
Failure to Act on Pharmacist's Medication Recommendations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to act upon the recommendations made by the Consultant Pharmacist during the monthly Medication Regimen Reviews (MRR) for a resident diagnosed with dementia and depression. The resident was receiving two antidepressants, Trazodone and Venlafaxine Hydrochloride, and the Consultant Pharmacist recommended a dose reduction for these medications in August 2024. However, the physician did not address this recommendation, as evidenced by the blank physician response section in the Consultant Pharmacist's Consultation Report. Further review of the subsequent MRRs from September through December 2024 showed that the pharmacist did not follow up or readdress the recommended dose reduction. Interviews with the Unit Manager and the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that the process for handling the Consultant Pharmacist's recommendations was not followed, as the August 2024 recommendation was not reviewed or acted upon by the physician. This oversight resulted in the deficiency identified by the surveyors.
