Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Phillips Manor Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to store food according to professional standards, with several items in the kitchen's refrigerator being improperly labeled and dated. Employee drinks were stored with resident food, and resident-designated refrigerators contained undated food items. The administrator and staff confirmed the need for proper labeling and dating of food items.
A facility failed to assess a resident for the ability to self-administer polyethylene glycol 3350 and benefiber powder, as required by policy. Despite the resident's cognitive intactness, assessments were incomplete, missing critical information such as route, dose, and frequency. A nurse routinely mixed the laxatives into the resident's coffee for self-administration without proper documentation or evaluation.
Improper Food Storage and Labeling Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food storage and safety, as observed during a survey. The surveyor noted several instances of improperly labeled and dated food items in the kitchen's reach-in refrigerator, including yogurt parfaits with expired best-by dates, shredded cheese, an unsliced ham half, and a block of cheese, all of which were opened but undated. Additionally, an open can of iced-tea belonging to an employee was found stored alongside resident food and ingredients, contrary to facility policy. The administrator confirmed that employee drinks should not be stored with resident food and that all food items should be labeled and dated upon receipt. Further observations revealed issues with food storage in resident-designated refrigerators on the 1st and 2nd floors. A container of food in the 1st-floor refrigerator was not labeled or dated, and a nutritionally fortified supplemental shake in the 2nd-floor refrigerator was open, nearly empty, and undated. Nurse #1 confirmed that such shakes should be discarded 24 hours after opening and should be dated accordingly. The administrator stated that leftover food and food brought in by visitors should be labeled, dated, and discarded after three days, and that kitchen staff were responsible for daily checks of unit refrigerators.
Failure to Assess Resident for Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident was properly assessed for the ability to self-administer medications. Specifically, the resident was not evaluated for self-administration of polyethylene glycol 3350 powder and benefiber powder, both of which are laxative oral medications. The facility's policy requires that residents may only self-administer medications if the attending physician and the interdisciplinary care planning team determine it is safe and clinically appropriate. However, the necessary assessments, including the resident's ability to read and understand medication labels, comprehend dosage and administration, and recognize risks, were incomplete. The resident in question was admitted with diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, and dysphagia. Despite having a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score indicating cognitive intactness, the resident's medication self-administration safety screen assessments were missing critical information such as route, dose, and frequency. The assessments also failed to include the resident's polyethylene glycol 3350 powder and benefiber powder, which were being self-administered without proper documentation or evaluation. During the survey, it was observed that a nurse routinely mixed the resident's laxatives into coffee and left it with the resident to self-administer. This practice was not supported by a complete assessment or physician's order for these specific medications. The nurse acknowledged the incomplete assessments, and the facility administrator confirmed that the assessments should have been fully completed, including the laxatives in question.
