Health deficiencies cited at Deerfield Episcopal Retirement during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Unsafe oxygen tank storage was observed for a resident receiving O2 therapy and using a wheelchair. Staff found a portable O2 tank left on the floor, leaned against furniture, instead of being secured in a rolling cart or attached to the wheelchair. A NA stated she removed the tank during the night to weigh the wheelchair, then left it unsecured when she was interrupted by another resident’s call bell. The DON and Administrator confirmed the tank should have been safely secured.
Surveyors observed that expired prepackaged shredded cabbage was stored in a kitchen refrigerator after being transferred from another kitchen. The DM confirmed staff did not check the expiration date before storing the item, contrary to facility procedures requiring such checks. The Administrator acknowledged that expired food should not have been accepted or stored.
Unsafe Oxygen Tank Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide safe oxygen tank storage for one resident who was admitted with chronic kidney disease stage 4, Type 2 diabetes, anemia, and lumbar stenosis and had a physician order for oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 to 5 liters per minute for shortness of breath. The resident’s quarterly MDS indicated oxygen therapy and wheelchair use. On observation, the resident was asleep in bed and using oxygen connected to an oxygen concentrator, while a portable oxygen tank was left on the floor in the room, leaned at an angle against a filing cabinet with the regulator touching the edge of a dresser next to it. The tank was in a fabric holder intended for attachment to the resident’s wheelchair, and an empty rolling oxygen tank cart was present in the room behind the entrance door. The unsecured oxygen tank was observed in the same position during a second observation later that morning. A nurse aide stated she had removed the tank from the wheelchair during the overnight shift to weigh the wheelchair, placed the tank on the floor next to the dresser, and then left to answer another resident’s call bell before reattaching the tank. She stated she should have secured the tank in the rolling cart when removing it and should have finished attaching it to the wheelchair before leaving the room. She also stated she knew there was a rolling cart in the room and had been taught the importance of securing oxygen tanks for safety at orientation. Other staff interviews confirmed that oxygen tanks were expected to be stored in a rolling cart or attached to the wheelchair, and that the tank should not have been left on the floor. A day shift nurse aide stated she did not see the tank on the floor during shift change and would have returned it to the wheelchair holder or cart if she had. A nurse stated oxygen tanks should not be sitting on the floor. The DON observed the tank leaning against the filing cabinet and stated that was not how oxygen tanks should be stored and that it should have been in a rolling cart for safety. The DON and Administrator both stated the tank was under pressure and that it should have been properly and safely secured.
Expired Prepackaged Produce Not Removed from Kitchen Refrigerator
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors found that the facility failed to remove expired prepackaged produce from one of three kitchen refrigerators. During an observation, an unopened bag of shredded cabbage with a use by date that had already passed was found in the reach-in refrigerator. The Dietary Manager (DM) confirmed that the cabbage had been brought from another kitchen on site to be used as an alternative food choice, but staff did not check the expiration date before placing it in storage. The DM stated that the facility's procedure requires staff to check all food for expiration dates before storing, but this was not followed. The Administrator also acknowledged that expired food should not have been accepted or stored in the kitchen.
