Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Cameron Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Multiple resident restrooms were found with dried substances, puddles of liquid, strong urine odors, and improperly stored medical equipment, indicating that cleaning protocols were not consistently followed. Staff interviews confirmed that restrooms should be cleaned daily and as needed, but observations showed these standards were not met.
During a prolonged call light system outage, residents with significant medical and mobility needs were given whistles or bells to summon staff, but these were not always accessible or effective. Several residents experienced anxiety, distress, and physical difficulty when attempting to call for help, and staff response was inconsistent. The facility lacked a policy for alternative call systems and did not ensure adequate monitoring during the outage.
Failure to Maintain Clean and Sanitary Resident Restrooms
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to maintain a clean, neat, and orderly environment in several resident restrooms, specifically those associated with rooms 201, 202, 203, and 204. Direct observations revealed dried brown substances on door frames, toilet tanks, and toilet risers, as well as puddles of liquid on restroom floors and strong odors of urine. In one instance, a graduate used for emptying a catheter bag was found uncovered and containing yellow liquid on top of a toilet tank. These conditions were present despite the facility's cleaning policy, which requires staff to remove trash, clean surfaces, mop floors, and ensure all restroom fixtures are sanitized daily. Interviews with housekeeping staff, a CNA, an LPN, and the Administrator confirmed that restrooms are expected to be cleaned daily and as needed, and that any visible soiling or odor should be addressed immediately. Staff also stated that the graduate used for catheter bags should be rinsed and stored covered. The presence of dried substances, puddles, and strong odors indicated that the cleaning policy was not consistently followed, resulting in a failure to provide residents with a safe, clean, and comfortable environment as required.
Failure to Provide Adequate Resident Call System During Call Light Outage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an appropriate and adequate method for residents to call for staff assistance while the call light system was being repaired. For approximately two weeks, the call light system by residents' beds was not functioning, and residents were instead given whistles or bells to use to summon staff. Several residents reported that the whistles were not always within reach, and that staff did not always respond when the whistles were used. In some cases, residents had to walk to the bathroom to use the functioning call light there, despite having mobility limitations and being at risk for falls. Multiple residents with significant medical conditions, including congestive heart failure, COPD, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, Parkinson's disease, and other mobility and cognitive impairments, experienced distress due to the lack of a reliable call system. One resident with respiratory issues became short of breath after blowing the whistle for several minutes without staff response and had to walk to the bathroom to use the call light, which caused further shortness of breath and fear of falling. Other residents expressed anxiety and fear that if they fell or became ill, they would not be able to summon help, especially if the whistle was out of reach or if they were physically unable to use it. Staff interviews revealed inconsistent practices regarding increased rounding and monitoring of residents during the call light system outage. While some staff reported being instructed to increase rounding, others stated they had not received such instructions or were not given specific timeframes for rounds. The facility did not provide a policy regarding the call light system, and the administrator was unaware of any resident complaints or reports of anxiety related to the deficiency.
