Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Willowbrooke Court Skilled Care Center Fairhaven during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Dining staff prepared and delivered meal trays from a kitchenette using steam tables that were later found to be malfunctioning. A test tray delivered with resident trays was found to have spaghetti at 107.2°F and beef soup at 120.5°F, both at room temperature to taste, indicating food was not served at an appetizing or safe temperature.
A resident reported to an occupational therapist that a caregiver was rough with them, causing knee pain. The facility delayed reporting this abuse allegation to the appropriate authorities, submitting the report several hours after the incident was disclosed, which exceeded the required reporting timeframe. The administrator was unaware of the two-hour reporting requirement.
Surveyors identified that the facility did not consistently document treatment administration and resident diagnoses according to professional standards. For example, a resident's hipster brace was not applied as ordered and the refusal was not properly documented, while another resident's sling order was marked as held without explanation. Additionally, a resident's care plan failed to reflect a new COPD diagnosis following hospital discharge, despite ongoing oxygen therapy.
Failure to Serve Food at Safe and Appetizing Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide food at an appetizing and safe temperature during a lunch meal observation. On the specified date and time, the surveyor observed dining staff preparing and delivering meal trays from a kitchenette where food was kept on steam tables. A test tray was prepared and delivered alongside resident trays to rooms. Upon arrival, the temperature of the spaghetti on the test tray was measured at 107.2°F and the beef soup at 120.5°F, both of which were room temperature to taste. The Nutrition Services Manager later acknowledged that the steam tables were not functioning correctly, which contributed to the inadequate food temperatures.
Failure to Timely Report Alleged Abuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of abuse in a timely manner. Specifically, a resident informed an occupational therapist that a caregiver had been rough with them the previous evening, resulting in knee pain. Although this allegation was communicated to staff in the morning, the facility did not report the incident to the Office of Health Care Quality until later that afternoon, exceeding the required reporting timeframe. During an interview, the Nursing Home Administrator stated he was unaware of the requirement to report all abuse allegations within two hours.
Failure to Maintain Professional Standards in Documentation and Diagnosis
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain professional standards of practice in two key areas: documentation of treatment administration and documentation of residents' current diagnoses. For one resident, there was an active order for a hipster brace to be worn at all times, but the resident was observed without the brace, and the administration record was signed off as completed despite the treatment not being administered. Staff interviews confirmed that the resident had refused the brace, but the refusal was not properly documented as required. In another case, a resident had an order to wear a sling at all times, but the treatment was marked as 'held' on several shifts without any accompanying progress notes explaining the reason, contrary to facility expectations for documentation when treatments are not provided as ordered. Additionally, the facility failed to accurately document a resident's current diagnosis. A resident with a hospital discharge diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) had an active order for oxygen therapy, but the care plan did not reflect the COPD diagnosis. The physician's progress notes following the resident's readmission also failed to address the new diagnosis, despite the physician stating that new diagnoses from hospitalizations should be updated in the resident's records and care plan. These deficiencies were identified through observation, record review, and staff interviews during the annual recertification survey.
