Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pearl River Co Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Staff failed to ensure a resident was free from physical restraints when two CNAs wrapped a sheet around the resident's legs and secured it with tape to prevent removal of a brief, without physician order or care plan documentation. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment, was found with his legs bound, and a red area was noted on his leg that resolved within an hour. The intervention was not authorized and violated facility policy.
The facility failed to serve meals within the required 14-hour timeframe without providing a substantial snack for residents. The meal schedule showed over 15 hours between dinner and breakfast, and the snack cart service was stopped, with snacks only available upon request. Staff, including the Dietary Manager and Administrator, were unaware of the extended time between meals and the lack of substantial snacks, leading to a deficiency in meeting residents' nutritional needs.
Two residents in an LTC facility were unable to access their call lights, compromising their ability to call for help. One resident, with an amputated leg, found the call light draped over the wall box, while another resident with visual loss had the call light on the floor. Both a CNA and an LPN confirmed the inaccessibility, and the DON and Administrator acknowledged the issue, stressing the importance of call light accessibility.
A resident's room was found to have stained bed frames, walls, curtains, and bed rails, along with an odor, over two days. Despite daily cleaning claims, the room's condition persisted. Interviews revealed that detailed cleaning occurs three times a week, and staff are expected to report and address cleanliness issues. However, the room remained unsatisfactory, indicating a failure to maintain a clean and homelike environment.
The facility failed to label and date food items in the refrigerator, freezer, and dry goods room, as observed during an inspection. Unlabeled items included a bag of boiled eggs, a box of mini cheesecakes, a bag of hushpuppies, graham cracker crumbs, and deteriorating sweet potatoes. The Dietary Manager confirmed these findings, and the Administrator was informed.
The facility did not have the Infection Preventionist present for four QAPI meetings in 2024, as required. This absence was confirmed through record reviews and acknowledged by both the QA nurse and the Administrator, who cited staff turnover as a contributing factor.
Unauthorized Use of Physical Restraint with Sheet and Tape
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure a resident was free from the use of physical restraints when two CNAs wrapped a sheet around the resident's legs and secured it with tape to prevent the resident from removing his brief and smearing feces. The resident, who had severe cognitive impairment due to Parkinson's Disease, was found by an LPN tugging at the sheet, with his legs bound together by tape over the sheet. The intervention was not ordered by a physician, not included in the care plan, and there was no documentation of assessment or approval for the use of a physical restraint. The facility's policy defined physical restraints as any device or material that the resident cannot remove easily, and specifically prohibited practices such as tucking sheets to restrict movement. Interviews confirmed that the CNAs used the sheet and tape without authorization, and the DON and Administrator acknowledged the intervention was a violation of policy. The resident's arms and feet were not restricted, and a red area was noted on the leg, which resolved within an hour. There was no evidence of injury directly caused by the restraint, and the incident was not classified as abuse.
Failure to Provide Meals Within 14-Hour Timeframe
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to serve meals within the required 14-hour timeframe without providing a substantial snack for residents. The facility's policy stated that residents should be provided with a nourishing, palatable, well-balanced diet that meets their daily nutritional and special dietary needs, with snacks available 24 hours a day. However, the meal serving schedule showed that there was a lapse of over 15 hours between dinner and breakfast for both Station One and Station Two. Observations and interviews revealed that the previous Administrator and Director of Nursing had stopped the snack cart service, and snacks were only available upon request, with diabetic residents receiving snacks automatically. Interviews with dietary staff and the Director of Nursing indicated a lack of awareness regarding the meal schedule exceeding the 14-hour limit and the absence of routine snack offerings. The Dietary Manager and other staff members were unaware of the extended time between meals and the lack of substantial snacks being provided. The Administrator also confirmed that he was unaware of the issue and expected residents to be offered a substantial snack between meals. This oversight led to the deficiency in meeting the nutritional needs of the residents as per the facility's policy.
Failure to Ensure Call Light Accessibility for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents had access to their call lights while in bed, affecting two residents. Resident #1, who has an amputated leg, was observed calling for help because the call light was draped over the call light box on the wall, out of reach. The resident stated that the call light is usually on the bed, but he was unable to reach it due to his condition. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) confirmed the call light was inaccessible and acknowledged that it should always be within reach for safety. Resident #12, who suffers from unspecified visual loss and severe cognitive decline, was also found calling for help because her call light was on the floor under the bed, making it impossible for her to see or reach it. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) confirmed the call light was out of reach and stated that both CNAs and floor nurses should ensure call lights are accessible. The Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator both acknowledged the issue, emphasizing the importance of having call lights within reach for residents to call for assistance.
Failure to Maintain a Clean and Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe, clean, and homelike environment for a resident over a period of two days. Observations revealed that the resident's room had stained bed frames, walls, curtains, and bed rails, along with an odor. Despite the resident's statement that the room is cleaned daily, the conditions persisted. Interviews with staff, including a CNA and an EVS worker, indicated that routine cleaning is performed daily, but detailed cleaning, which includes wiping bed frames and cleaning walls, is done three times a week. The EVS Manager acknowledged the presence of stains and stated that deep cleaning could occur when residents are out of the room. Further interviews with the EVS Manager and the Director of Nursing (DON) revealed that the expectation is for EVS staff to clean rooms according to policy, and for nursing staff to inform EVS when a room requires deeper cleaning. The EVS Manager believed the stains were dried food, and the DON stated that CNAs should clean visible stains between EVS cleanings. Despite these expectations, the resident's room remained in an unsatisfactory condition, indicating a failure in maintaining a clean and homelike environment as per the facility's policy.
Deficiency in Food Labeling and Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its food labeling and storage policies, resulting in a deficiency. During an observation and interview with the Dietary Manager, it was found that a clear plastic bag of boiled eggs in the refrigerator was unlabeled and lacked a used by or prepared date. In the freezer, there was an unlabeled box of assorted mini cheesecakes and an opened bag of hushpuppies without a product opened date. Additionally, in the dry goods room, there was an opened and exposed unlabeled box of graham cracker crumbs and two sweet potatoes showing signs of deterioration. The Dietary Manager confirmed the presence of these unlabeled items in the refrigerator, freezer, and dry goods room. The Administrator was informed of these findings during an interview.
Infection Preventionist Absence in QAPI Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the Quality Assurance Performance Improvement (QAPI) Committee had all mandatory members present for four out of twelve months reviewed. Specifically, the Infection Preventionist (IP) was absent from the QAPI meetings held on March 20, May 15, June 19, and July 17 of 2024. This was confirmed through a record review of the facility's QAPI sign-in logs. During interviews, both the Quality Assurance nurse and the Administrator acknowledged the absence of the IP from these meetings. They emphasized the importance of having all required disciplines present to ensure effective communication and input regarding patient care issues. The absence of the IP was attributed to staff turnover within the facility.
