Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Hickory Ridge Of Temperance during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain cleanliness in the garbage area, potentially affecting all 79 residents. Observations revealed trash scattered around the dumpster, with open doors and a broom propped against it. The DON clarified that housekeeping was responsible for cleaning the area, but there was no specific Garbage Disposal policy. The Housekeeping policy required the area to be kept free from debris.
A facility failed to obtain a complete order for a topical pain patch application for a resident, leading to potential overmedication and skin breakdown. An LPN applied a Salonpas pain patch to the resident's right hip, following a physician's order to apply it once daily. However, the manufacturer's instructions stated the patch should not remain on the skin for more than eight hours, which was not followed. The DON acknowledged the discrepancy, noting the physician's order would have been different if informed correctly.
Improper Disposal of Garbage and Refuse
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly dispose of refuse and maintain cleanliness in the garbage area, which could potentially harbor pests and affect all 79 residents. During an observation with the Dietary Manager (DM) near the kitchen door, trash such as soiled gloves, paper, plastic cups, lids, straws, condiment packs, and wet cardboard was found scattered around the garbage dumpster. The dumpster doors were left open, and a broom was propped against it. The DM was unsure which department was responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the garbage area. The Director of Nursing (DON) later clarified that the housekeeping department was responsible for cleaning the garbage area, especially after garbage pickup, although the maintenance department sometimes assisted. The garbage area was supposed to be cleaned six days a week, excluding Sundays. The DON admitted to not checking the area personally and stated that the facility did not have a specific Garbage Disposal policy, but the issue was addressed in the Housekeeping policy. The policy required the area surrounding the dumpster to be kept free from debris, and staff were to ensure cleanliness when transporting garbage.
Incomplete Order for Topical Pain Patch Application
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to obtain a complete order for the application and removal of a topical pain patch for a resident, identified as R57, during medication administration. On the morning of March 4, 2025, an LPN was observed removing a Salonpas pain patch from R57's right hip and immediately applying a new one. The LPN stated that the patch was removed and reapplied within one minute, following the physician's order documented in the medication administration record (MAR) to apply the patch once daily and remove it per schedule. However, the manufacturer's instructions indicated that the patch should not remain on the skin for more than eight hours, which was not adhered to in this case. R57 was admitted with diagnoses including effusion to the right hip, bursitis, and unilateral primary osteoarthritis, and had a BIMS score indicating intact cognition. The care plan noted R57's risk for pain and impaired skin integrity due to chronic conditions. The Director of Nursing (DON) acknowledged the discrepancy between the physician's order and the manufacturer's instructions, noting that the physician would not have ordered the patch to be applied in this manner if informed correctly. The facility's medication administration policy was requested but not provided before the surveyors exited the facility.
