Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Dj Jacobetti Home For Veterans during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and a history of aggression was physically redirected by a CNA while attempting to remove a wall decoration. The CNA used physical contact not aligned with the resident's care plan, resulting in the resident losing balance and falling. The incident was later identified as staff-to-resident physical abuse after video review, causing emotional distress and fear for the resident.
Food safety and sanitation deficiencies were observed in the kitchen, including a vegetable wash sink without an air gap and a heavily soiled drain area with black slime mold and food debris. Ready-to-eat foods were date-marked beyond the facility's 7-day limit, the dish machine was leaking with towels used to contain water on the floor, an open bag of Oreo bits was left on a shelf, and a slicer was found with food debris remaining on its blade and casing.
Meal Tray Preferences Not Honored: During lunch observation, residents were served meals on institutional trays even when their tray cards indicated no tray was preferred. One resident also did not receive a requested blue placemat. The CDM stated trays are not homelike, and the NHA stated residents should not get a tray if that was their preference.
Failure to provide ordered adaptive dining equipment affected three residents with tray card and care plan instructions for specific utensils and mugs. A resident who used a scoop plate, blue dycem, and built-up utensils was served on a standard plate without the placemat and did not receive soup or coffee in the ordered containers; another resident did not receive built-up utensils or the ordered 2-handle cup and mug; and a third resident repeatedly received coffee in a regular mug instead of the specified blue handled mug with lid, with a CNA stating she did not know the tray card instructions.
The facility failed to properly sanitize kitchen utensils, as observed when a staff member dipped utensils in sanitizing solution for less than two seconds instead of the required 60 seconds. This practice, acknowledged by the Kitchen Manager as incorrect, posed a risk of foodborne illness to the facility's 61 residents.
Staff-to-Resident Physical Abuse Resulting in Fall and Emotional Distress
Penalty
Summary
A staff-to-resident physical abuse incident occurred involving a resident with severe cognitive impairment, including frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder and aphasia, who was known to have potential for physical aggression when redirected. The resident was observed attempting to remove a Christmas decoration from the wall when a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) intervened by physically removing the resident's hands from the decoration. The resident attempted to strike the CNA, who blocked the attempts and then placed his hand on the resident's abdomen and chest, ultimately making contact with the resident's upper chest/shoulder area in a forward rocking motion. This action caused the resident to lose balance and fall to the floor, coming to rest on his right side. The care plan for the resident specified interventions for managing agitation and aggression, including de-escalation techniques, providing distractions, allowing independence, and walking away if the resident became aggressive. The CNA did not follow these interventions and instead used physical contact, which was not in accordance with the care plan. The incident was initially not identified as abuse, but upon review of video footage, concerns for abuse were noted. The facility's policy prohibits any form of abuse, including physical abuse, and defines such actions as likely to cause psychosocial harm.
Food Safety and Sanitation Deficiencies in Kitchen Operations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to prepare and store food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. During a main kitchen tour, the vegetable wash sink was observed without an air gap, and a tin can was being used around the outlet drain as a splash guard. When the can was moved, the drain line and floor drain were heavily soiled with black slime mold and food debris. In the 2 North kitchen, ready-to-eat foods were found with date markings that extended to 8 days, including cream corn souffle cup, chef salad, tossed salad, and shredded cheddar cheese, even though the facility log sheet indicated foods were to be kept no more than seven days including the day of preparation. Additional kitchen observations showed the high temp dish machine leaking during operation, with towels placed on the floor under the front of the machine to keep water from spreading further onto the kitchen floor. A bag of Oreo bits was found open on a shelf with staff unable to identify ownership or how long it had been there, and the items were discarded. The slicer in the main kitchen had been covered with a plastic bag, but when inspected, the underside of the removable blade and casing were observed to still have food debris left from the last prep period.
Meal Tray Preferences Not Honored
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a homelike environment and honor meal service preferences for five residents reviewed. During lunch observation in the 2nd floor dining room, four staff members were present and serving meals, and all residents in the dining room were served on institutional trays. Resident #4 had a tray card indicating a preference for a blue placemat and no tray, but the resident did not have a blue placemat and the meal was placed on a tray on the table. Four other residents, identified as R37, R50, R57, and R62, also received meals on trays even though their tray cards indicated "NO TRAY." During interviews, the Certified Dietary Manager stated that trays are not homelike, and the Nursing Home Administrator stated that residents should not get a tray if that was their preference.
Failure to Provide Ordered Adaptive Dining Equipment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide special eating equipment and utensils for residents who had tray card and care plan instructions for adaptive dining devices. During lunch service, Resident #4 was observed with instructions for a blue handled mug with lid, scoop plate, blue placemat, and all soup in a mug, but his meal was served on a regular non-scooped plate without a blue mat, his soup was served in a bowl, and he did not receive coffee in the specified mug. Resident #56 had tray card instructions for built-up utensils, a 2-handle cup with straw for cold liquids, and a mug with tumbler lid for hot liquids, but he did not receive built-up utensils or the 2-handle cup, and his hot soup was served in a bowl instead of a mug. Resident #62 had tray card and care plan instructions for a blue handled mug with lid for hot liquids, but was observed receiving coffee in a regular mug with lid instead of the specified mug during lunch and breakfast services. During breakfast, CNA D served coffee to Resident #62 but did not use the blue handled mug, and stated not knowing the resident had that specification on the tray card. The EMR showed that Resident #4 used built-up utensils, a scoop plate, and blue dycem as a placemat, and that Resident #56 had interventions for built-up utensils and a 2-handle mug with lid and straw. Resident #62's care plan included instructions for a blue handled mug with lid and for coffee to be cooled slightly with ice before being given.
Improper Sanitization of Kitchen Utensils
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, specifically in the sanitization process of kitchen utensils. During an observation, Kitchen Staff B was seen cleaning cookware at a three-compartment sink. The process involved washing utensils in the wash compartment, rinsing them in the center rinse compartment, and then quickly dipping them into the sanitizing solution for less than two seconds before placing them on the drain board. This practice did not meet the required sanitization time as per the manufacturer's instructions, which specified a minimum contact time of 60 seconds for the sanitizing solution to be effective. When questioned, Kitchen Staff B was unaware of the correct sanitization procedure and incorrectly guessed the required time to be a minute. The Kitchen Manager, upon being informed of the observation, acknowledged that the staff member should have known the correct procedure. The deficiency was identified as a potential risk for foodborne illness among the facility's 61 residents, as the improper sanitization of food contact surfaces could lead to contamination.
