Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Cherry Point Bay Nursing And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to label and date food items in the nourishment refrigerator at the nurse's station, leading to potential food safety issues. Multiple items, including a sandwich, creamer, and cheese, were found unlabeled. Staff interviews revealed inconsistencies in understanding and implementing the facility's food labeling policy, with confusion over discard time frames. The Administrator confirmed that kitchen labeling policies should apply, but lack of clear guidelines led to the deficiency.
The facility failed to maintain accurate advance directives for two residents. One resident's physical chart contained conflicting documents regarding code status due to an error during hospital readmission, while another resident's chart lacked any advance directives despite the EMR indicating a full code status. Both residents were severely cognitively impaired, and staff interviews confirmed the discrepancies.
Failure to Label and Date Food in Nourishment Refrigerator
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly label and date food items stored in the nourishment refrigerator located at the central nurse's station. During an observation, multiple food items were found unlabeled and without open or discard dates, despite a sign on the refrigerator instructing staff to label and date food items. Items found included a partially consumed sandwich, a container with an unidentifiable substance, plums, a dairy-based creamer, cheese with a creamy white substance on the edges, cranberry juice, kosher dill pickles, and mayonnaise. All these items lacked proper labeling, which was against the facility's stated procedures. Interviews with various staff members, including a Certified Dietary Manager (CDM), Nurse Aides, and the Director of Nursing, revealed inconsistencies in the understanding and implementation of the facility's food labeling policy. Staff members acknowledged that food should be labeled with the date it was placed in the refrigerator and discarded after a certain period, typically three days. However, there was confusion about the specific discard time frame, with some staff unsure whether it was 24 to 48 hours or three days. The CDM admitted to checking the refrigerator but failed to ensure compliance with labeling requirements. The facility's policy was not specific, leading to varied interpretations among staff. The Administrator confirmed that the policy used in the kitchen for labeling should also apply to the nourishment refrigerator. Despite this, the lack of clear guidelines and consistent enforcement resulted in the observed deficiency. The Staff Development Coordinator and other staff members indicated that there were resources available, such as labels and markers, but these were not effectively utilized to maintain compliance with food safety standards.
Failure to Maintain Accurate Advance Directives
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that advance directives were accurately documented and maintained in the medical records for two residents. For Resident #5, there was a contradiction between the Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST) form, which indicated a full code status, and a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) form, which was mistakenly placed in the physical chart. This error occurred when Resident #5 was readmitted from the hospital, where a DNR was automatically generated. The DNR was not signed by the facility doctor, and the facility did not honor hospital-generated DNRs. The admitting nurse mistakenly placed the DNR in the physical chart, leading to conflicting information about the resident's code status. Resident #5 was severely cognitively impaired, and her care plan indicated a full code status. Interviews with staff, including Nurse #1, the Social Worker, and the Director of Nursing (DON), confirmed that the DNR should not have been in the physical chart and that the resident's code status was indeed full code. The error was attributed to the admitting nurse's oversight in handling the documents received from the hospital upon the resident's readmission. For Resident #31, the facility failed to include any advance directives or code status orders in the physical chart, despite the electronic medical record (EMR) indicating a full code status. Resident #31 was also severely cognitively impaired, and the care plan reflected a full code status. The Social Worker, who was responsible for updating physical charts with advance directives, had not checked the charts of residents admitted before her employment. The DON and Administrator acknowledged that the physical chart should have matched the EMR's code status.
