Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Edison Christian Health Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found multiple kitchen deficiencies involving food storage, cooling, hot holding, and sanitation. Ready-to-eat foods in the cooler were missing date marks or were past date range, a breakfast sausage item was still cooling at 130F without being on the cooling log, cooked beef patties were held at 106F, and breakfast trays in a warming unit were at 116F. Surveyors also observed heavy debris on the can opener, microwave, stand mixer, ice machine spout, and coffee and juice machines.
Unsafe and Unclean Environment: Observations found black debris, holes in sink cabinets, pooled liquid, dust, mildew, and improper storage in dining, utility, housekeeping, and bath areas. In one resident room, a resident with vascular dementia and chronic bronchitis was observed sleeping near a dust-covered fan blowing toward the face, with dust and debris also present behind the O2 concentrator. Staff reported carpet cleaning expectations, but the dining room carpet had remained soiled and the facility lacked an ongoing carpet cleaning record.
A resident with dysphagia and mild ID had a care plan calling for no straws and weighted utensils with meals, but staff repeatedly provided drinks with straws and did not consistently supply the ordered utensils. The resident was observed struggling to eat without the weighted utensils, and staff interviews confirmed uncertainty and missed implementation of the care plan.
An LPN gave a resident the wrong narcotic medication after checking the MAR and signing the narcotic count sheet before removing the drug from the locked cart, then grabbing the roommate’s medication instead of the ordered medication. The resident, who had severe intellectual disabilities and chronic pain, was drowsy and more lethargic afterward, and the error was not discovered until later during narcotic counting.
A survey found that a LTC facility failed to adhere to food safety standards, with improperly dated food items and cleanliness issues in the kitchen and dining areas. The walk-in cooler and utensil racks had debris, and the dishwashing machine did not reach the required sanitization temperature. These deficiencies could lead to foodborne illnesses among residents.
Kitchen Food Storage, Cooling, Holding, and Sanitation Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain best practices in the kitchen when surveyors found multiple ready-to-eat and time/temperature control for safety foods in the walk-in cooler and other storage areas without proper date marking. During observation, an open package of roast beef had no date, a container of cut pineapple had no date, pumpkin was dated 8/25 to 8/31, a bag of kielbasa sausages was open with no date, and a container of scrambled eggs was uncovered and not dated. A container of leaf lettuce in the two-door Traulsen cooler was dated 9/6 to 9/9. The Production Manager stated that staff check dates of food products daily. Surveyors also observed food being cooled and held at temperatures that did not match the required standards. A covered container of mechanical breakfast sausage was found in the walk-in cooler with visible humidity under the saran wrap and a temperature of 130F; the Production Manager stated it had been made that morning for breakfast and still needed to finish cooling, and it was not on the cooling log. A pan of cooked beef patties was observed at 106 degrees on the grill, and staff stated the patties had been cooked to 165F before being placed in the pan with liquid beef base. In the dining room, three breakfast trays were stored in a warming unit registering 116 degrees, and the Food Service Manager took the temperature of one tray and stated the food was at 116 degrees. The survey also identified multiple sanitation issues with kitchen and dining room equipment. The can opener had heavy black accumulation on the blade, bar, and inner mechanism; the microwave had dried food debris; the stand mixer had dried food debris on the mixing guard and neck; the ice machine spout had black, brown, and white crusted debris; and the coffee and juice machines had dark spotted debris on non-food contact surfaces between the spouts. Staff stated the can opener should be cleaned weekly, that the microwave needed to be cleaned, that the stand mixer had not been used that morning and its last use was unknown, and that maintenance handled ice machine cleaning while staff wiped down the unit.
Unsafe and Unclean Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain general cleanliness and repair of the premises, resulting in a sanitary and homelike environment concern in the dining areas, utility rooms, housekeeping areas, and one resident room. Observations found black staining and debris under the ice machine cabinet in the main dining room, trash bags stored under a sink cabinet with a large hole in the back and heavy black debris in the cabinet, a large hole under the front kitchenette sink cabinet, briefs and gloves stored on the floor in the clean utility room, liquid pooling under the ice machine and beverage dispenser in a dining room and soaking into the carpet, dust and debris behind a linen cart in the clean linen room, mixed storage of shampoo, body wash, toilet paper, and disinfectant in a bath cabinet, mildew in the creases of a shower curtain, and a housekeeping closet faucet connected to a chemical pre-dispense system without a way to relieve backpressure. The soiled utility room over-hopper faucet was not able to be turned on, and the ventilation exhaust was not heard or visually observed with suction. In the dining room of the [NAME] Hall, a large pink stain measuring approximately 18 inches by 3 feet was observed on the carpet near the door, and a section of carpet between tables was soiled with a white substance that appeared to be dried food while residents were eating breakfast nearby and nursing staff were assisting residents. On a later observation, the tables had been rearranged, but the same pink stain remained under a resident dining table and the soiled carpet section was directly under an unknown female resident's feet. Staff stated that carpet cleaning issues were expected to be reported to Environmental Services, and the Environmental Services Supervisor reported the facility had not had a carpet cleaning schedule until very recently and did not maintain an ongoing record of carpet cleaning for the dining area. Resident #18, who had diagnoses including vascular dementia and chronic bronchitis and was on oxygen therapy, was observed sleeping in bed while a free-standing fan was positioned close to the bed and blowing directly toward the resident's face. Dust and debris were noted on the fan guards, motor casing, and base, and a collection of dust and debris was on the floor behind the resident's oxygen concentrator. These same conditions remained on repeated observations over several days. Staff stated that resident rooms should be cleaned daily and deep cleaned weekly, and the Environmental Services Supervisor stated housekeepers were responsible for keeping personal fans in resident rooms clean.
Failure to Follow Care Plan for Straws and Weighted Utensils
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement Resident #57’s person-centered care plan for swallowing and self-feeding needs. The resident was admitted with dysphagia and mild intellectual disabilities, and the care plan identified a history of swallowing issues, spilling food due to shaking hands, and the need for a consistent carbohydrate diet, regular texture, thin liquids, no straws, and weighted utensils. The care plan was revised on 9/5/25 to include these interventions, and therapy services had also ordered weighted utensils for all meals and no straws due to swallowing difficulty. During observations, the resident had water and sprite cups with straws on the tray table, and staff placed additional drinks with straws in the room despite the care plan stating no straws. The resident was also observed eating chicken noodle soup without weighted utensils and struggling to eat with the spoon being used. Staff interviews confirmed that the resident was supposed to use weighted utensils and not have straws, but staff were unsure about the straw restriction and reported that weighted utensils were sometimes forgotten when meals were provided in the resident’s room.
Wrong Medication Given During Narcotic Administration
Penalty
Summary
Resident #65, who had severe intellectual disabilities and chronic pain, received an unprescribed antiseizure medication after an LPN administered the wrong narcotic medication from the roommate’s supply. The progress note documented that the resident was drowsy, responded yes when asked if sleepy, ate 0-25% of lunch, did not drink well, and would purse lips when approached. Vital signs were monitored, and the resident was noted to be at baseline other than drowsiness. The medication error form stated that the incorrect narcotic was grabbed and given at 9:10 AM, and the error was not realized until 3:00 PM during narcotic counting. The LPN reported that she checked the MAR, signed the narcotic count sheet before removing the medication from the locked cart, and then dispensed the roommate’s medication instead of the medication ordered for Resident #65. The LPN also stated that she was short staffed and moving too quickly during medication administration, and the RN supervisor confirmed the resident was monitored for 24 hours and was more lethargic after the error.
Food Safety and Cleanliness Deficiencies in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety, as observed during a survey. The Food Service Director (FSD) Z indicated that potentially hazardous food items were date-marked for a three-day discard period. However, during the inspection, several items in the walk-in cooler and dining rooms were found without proper date markings, including skim milk, thickened dairy beverages, egg salad, tomato soup, hot dogs, and thickened cranberry juice. Additionally, some items were stored beyond their recommended discard dates, which could lead to foodborne illnesses among residents. The inspection also revealed significant cleanliness issues in the facility's kitchen and dining areas. The walk-in cooler had an accumulation of debris, including butter packets and cherry tomatoes, and the clean utensil rack had visible crumb debris. The stand-up mixer had dried white splatter debris, and the ice machine had an accumulation of black and tan debris. The juice machines in the dining rooms had sticky debris with black spots, and the refrigeration units had torn gaskets and debris from old spills. These conditions indicate a lack of regular cleaning and maintenance, as confirmed by FSD Z, who mentioned that some tasks might not have been completed during his absence. Further deficiencies were noted in the dishwashing area, where the high-temperature dish machine failed to reach the required sanitization temperature of 160°F. The machine also had an accumulation of calcium, lime, and gunk debris on the spray arms, which blocked some spray nozzles. The rinse pressure was inconsistent, and the machine was due for deliming. These issues suggest inadequate maintenance and monitoring of the dishwashing equipment, which could compromise the cleanliness and safety of the utensils used in the facility.
