Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Jefferson Davis Community Hospital Ecf during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Expired cabbage was found in a refrigerator with an odor consistent with decay, and several resident sandwiches were stored in a cooler without labels or dates. The ADM confirmed dietary staff were responsible for checking dates and removing expired items, and the DM stated all food items were expected to be properly dated, labeled, and rotated.
Failure to Provide Privacy During Insulin Administration: An LPN performed an accucheck and administered NovoLog insulin to a resident without closing the door or pulling the privacy curtain, while staff and other residents passed in the hallway. The resident had Type 2 DM and moderately impaired cognition, and both the LPN and DON confirmed that privacy should have been provided to protect the resident's dignity.
Inaccurate PASRR Screening for a Resident With Schizophrenia: The facility failed to accurately complete the Level I PASRR for a resident admitted with Schizophrenia who was also receiving Aripiprazole. The PASRR omitted the Schizophrenia diagnosis and incorrectly marked that the resident was not taking an antipsychotic medication, even though the admission record and MDS documented Schizophrenia. Interviews with the DON, consultant, and Administrator confirmed the screening was completed inaccurately and that staff were being trained on PASRR requirements.
Failure to Follow Wound Care Care Plan: A resident with a Stage 4 pressure ulcer to the left ankle had an individualized wound care plan directing cleansing with Vashe, A&D ointment to the peri-wound, Aquacel AG to the wound bed, gauze, an ABD pad, and conform wrap. During observed wound care, an RN completed most of the treatment but did not apply gauze before the ABD pad as ordered, and later confirmed she did not follow the physician order or care plan. The DON and the RN/Care Plan and MDS nurse stated staff should follow care plans as written.
Failure to follow a physician's wound care order occurred for a resident with a Stage 4 pressure ulcer to the left ankle. During observed care, an RN cleansed the wound and applied A&D ointment and Aquacel AG, but did not apply gauze before the ABD pad as ordered. The RN confirmed the omission, and the DON stated staff were expected to follow physician orders as written, step by step.
QAPI Failed to Sustain Food Safety Compliance: The facility was cited again for F812 after failing to store, label, and date food in accordance with professional standards for food safety. The same food safety deficiency had been cited on a prior survey, and the report states the QAPI Committee did not sustain ongoing monitoring and oversight to prevent recurrence. During kitchen observations, food was again found improperly stored, with issues involving freshness and labeling/dating.
Failure to perform hand hygiene during PEG medication administration: An LPN administered medications to a resident with NPO status and a PEG tube, then touched the feeding pump in the resident’s immediate environment and continued the procedure without removing gloves and performing hand hygiene. The LPN confirmed the lapse, and the DON and IP stated hand hygiene was required after contact with the pump.
The facility failed to store and label food according to professional standards, with observations of expired and unlabeled food items, overly ripe produce, and improper storage of scoops in the kitchen. Staff interviews confirmed these deficiencies, highlighting a lack of adherence to daily monitoring and labeling protocols.
Expired and Undated Food Items in Kitchen Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure food was stored in a manner that maintained freshness and quality and was properly labeled and dated in accordance with professional standards for food safety. During a kitchen observation on 4/20/26 at 10:36 AM, an odor consistent with decaying cabbage was noted when refrigerator #3 was opened. Three bags of shredded cabbage were observed and confirmed to be expired, including two bags dated 4/5/26 and one bag dated 3/15/26, and the cabbage appeared deteriorated. In the same observation, six sandwiches prepared for residents were found in the reach-in cooler without labels or dates. During interview, the Assistant Dietary Manager stated it was the responsibility of all dietary staff to check and rotate dates and remove expired items, and confirmed the cabbage had been served the previous Thursday and the sandwiches had been prepared that day but were not labeled or dated. The Dietary Manager stated her expectation was for all dietary staff to ensure food items were properly dated and labeled and to maintain compliance with food safety practices, including proper stock rotation and disposal of expired items. The Administrator was later informed of the expired and undated food items and stated her expectation was that the dietary department ensure all food items were properly dated and labeled and that expired food items were discarded.
Failure to Provide Privacy During Insulin Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a resident's right to privacy during medication administration for one resident reviewed for medication administration. During an observation, an LPN entered the resident's room to perform an accucheck and administer insulin. The LPN gathered supplies, explained the procedure, and performed a finger stick to obtain a blood glucose level, but the door remained open and the privacy curtain was not pulled during the entire procedure. Staff and other residents were observed passing in the hallway while care was being provided, and the LPN administered 10 units of NovoLog insulin subcutaneously in the abdomen without providing privacy for the resident. The resident involved was admitted with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and had a BIMS score of 9, indicating moderately impaired cognition. The resident had a physician's order for NovoLog insulin per sliding scale before meals and at bedtime. During interview, the LPN confirmed she did not close the door or pull the curtain during the accucheck and insulin administration and acknowledged that privacy should have been provided to protect the resident's dignity. The DON also stated that nursing staff were expected to close the door and pull the curtain during care to maintain resident privacy.
Inaccurate PASRR Screening for Resident With Schizophrenia
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the Level I Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) was completed accurately for a resident admitted with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia and receiving Aripiprazole, an antipsychotic medication. The admission record showed the resident was admitted with Schizophrenia, and the comprehensive admission MDS also documented Schizophrenia, but the submitted Level I PASRR did not include Schizophrenia under disease diagnoses and incorrectly indicated the resident was not taking an antipsychotic medication. During interviews, the DON stated the resident did not have a PASRR Level II evaluation because it was not requested by the independent contractor, and later stated the PASRR had been completed and submitted before she became DON and she was unaware it had been completed inaccurately. The consultant stated she did not make determinations regarding PASRR Level II evaluations and confirmed the resident was admitted with Schizophrenia and that the diagnosis was documented on the initial MDS. The Administrator stated staff were receiving training on PASRR requirements and that the expectation was for staff to accurately complete PASRR screenings.
Failure to Follow Wound Care Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement the care plan interventions for wound care for one resident with a Stage 4 pressure ulcer to the left ankle. The resident was admitted with a diagnosis of pressure ulcer of the left ankle, Stage 4, and the quarterly MDS showed a BIMS score of 13, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. The care plan identified actual skin breakdown and directed staff to cleanse the wound with Vashe, apply A&D ointment to the peri-wound, apply Aquacel AG to the wound bed, cover with gauze and an ABD pad, and wrap with conform daily and as needed for soilage and dislodgement. During wound care observation, the RN cleansed the wound, applied A&D ointment and Aquacel AG, covered it with an ABD pad, and wrapped it with conform, but did not apply gauze before the ABD pad as directed by the care plan. The RN later confirmed she did not follow the physician's order or care plan to apply gauze prior to the ABD pad and stated the gauze was intended to help keep the wound dry. The DON and the RN/Care Plan and MDS nurse both stated that care plans should be followed as written and that staff should follow the individualized care plan during care.
Failure to Follow Ordered Wound Care for a Stage 4 Pressure Ulcer
Penalty
Summary
Failure to provide pressure ulcer care according to physician orders occurred for one resident with a Stage 4 pressure ulcer to the left ankle. The resident was admitted with a diagnosis that included a Stage 4 pressure ulcer of the left ankle and had a BIMS score of 13, indicating he was cognitively intact. The facility policy for wound care stated that a physician's order must be verified and treatments applied as indicated. The resident had a physician order to cleanse the Stage 4 pressure ulcer with Vashe, pat dry, apply A&D ointment to the peri-wound, apply Aquacel AG to the wound bed, cover with gauze and an ABD pad, and wrap with conform daily and as needed. During observed wound care, the RN cleansed the wound, applied A&D ointment and Aquacel AG, then covered the wound with an ABD pad and wrapped it with conform, but did not apply gauze before the ABD pad as ordered. The RN confirmed she did not follow the physician's order, and the DON stated nurses were expected to follow physician orders as written, step by step, when providing wound care.
QAPI Failed to Sustain Food Safety Compliance
Penalty
Summary
The facility's QAPI Committee failed to sustain corrective actions to prevent recurrence of a previously cited food safety deficiency. The facility was cited for failing to ensure food was stored, labeled, and dated in accordance with professional standards for food safety during an annual recertification survey on 11/21/2024, and the same deficiency was cited again during the current survey. The report states this demonstrated that QAPI failed to maintain ongoing monitoring and oversight to prevent recurrence for 1 of 7 deficiencies cited. A review of the facility's QAPI policy, revised August 2017, stated that the facility shall implement and maintain an ongoing, facility-wide QAPI program that builds on the Quality Assessment and Assurance Program to actively pursue quality of care and quality of life goals. The Provider History Report and CMS-2567 showed the prior F812 citation for food procurement, storage, preparation, and service sanitation. During the current recertification survey, the facility again failed to store food in a manner that maintained quality and freshness and failed to properly label and date food in accordance with professional standards for food safety for 1 of 2 kitchen observations. The Administrator stated on 4/23/26 that it was important to maintain ongoing monitoring of plans of correction to ensure sustained compliance and prevent a decline in quality of care, and reported the dietary department was cited again due to a failure to maintain consistent monitoring of compliance with food safety practices.
Failure to Perform Hand Hygiene During PEG Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to perform hand hygiene during medication administration for Resident #4, who was admitted with a diagnosis of cerebral infarction and had a physician order for NPO status with all tube feedings and medications to be given via PEG tube. During observation, an LPN administered medications through the resident’s PEG tube and, after verifying tube placement and changing gloves, paused the feeding pump while wearing gloves and then proceeded with medication administration without removing the gloves and performing hand hygiene after contact with the feeding pump, which was in the immediate resident environment. The facility policy reviewed stated that standard precautions are to be used for all residents and that hand hygiene should be performed after contact with objects in the immediate vicinity of the resident. During interview, the LPN confirmed she did not remove gloves and perform hand hygiene after touching the feeding pump and before administering the medications. The DON and the IP both stated that hand hygiene should have been performed after contact with the feeding pump and that failure to do so could result in infection and spread of infection.
Food Safety Deficiencies in Kitchen Storage and Labeling
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food safety, as observed during a kitchen inspection. In Refrigerator #1, there were multiple food items, including cut iced cake slices, a half bologna sandwich, and facility-made peanut butter, that were either unlabeled or past their use-by dates. Refrigerator #2 contained cooked cauliflower without a label or date, and produce such as bell peppers and tomatoes with visible spoilage and biological growth. Refrigerator #3 had an aluminum foil-wrapped pork loin and an opened pack of bologna with an unidentifiable date, both lacking proper labeling. Additionally, in the pantry, scoops were improperly stored inside dry bins, directly touching food items like sugar, kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Interviews with staff, including the Patient Service Manager (PSM) and the Food Services Director (FSD), confirmed the deficiencies. Both acknowledged the presence of expired and unlabeled food items, overly ripe produce, and improper storage of scoops. The PSM and FSD stated that all kitchen staff are responsible for daily monitoring of food quality, labeling, and expiration dates, and that in-services on food safety are conducted regularly. The Administrator also acknowledged the issues and confirmed that the FSD and PSM are responsible for ensuring compliance with food safety standards.
