Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Scottish Pines Rehabilitation And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found expired food items, including diced potatoes, milk, and moldy mushrooms, as well as an unlabeled bag of mozzarella cheese in the kitchen's walk-in refrigerator. Staff interviews confirmed that required labeling and discarding procedures were not consistently followed, and daily checks for expired food were not documented or completed as expected.
Staff failed to follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions by not wearing required PPE during direct care for a resident with a gastrostomy tube, and nurse aides did not properly handle soiled linens or perform hand hygiene before assisting another resident with dressing and transferring. These lapses occurred despite available supplies and prior staff education.
A resident with hypertension received additional doses of Amlodipine Besylate and Carvedilol despite physician orders to hold the medications if systolic blood pressure was below 120 mm/hg. The Medication Aide was unaware of the hold parameters for Amlodipine Besylate, leading to the administration error. The Medical Director and Consultant Pharmacist noted no harm occurred, but emphasized the importance of following physician orders.
Failure to Discard Expired Food and Properly Label Opened Items in Kitchen Refrigerator
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to properly manage food storage and labeling in the kitchen's walk-in refrigerator. Specifically, there was an opened plastic bag of diced potatoes with an expiration date that had already passed, 98 containers of 2% milk with expired dates, a half-full box of white mushrooms showing visible mold and discoloration, and an opened bag of mozzarella cheese without any date of opening or expiration. These items were available for use and not properly discarded or labeled as required. Interviews with kitchen staff and the Dietary Manager revealed that the responsibility for labeling and discarding expired food was shared among all kitchen staff, but the process was not consistently followed. The Dietary Manager admitted that the daily check for expired food was not completed that morning due to her absence and that there was no sign-off sheet to ensure regular checks. Additionally, instructions to label expired milk and move it for pick-up were not followed, and the Administrator confirmed that all opened foods should have been labeled and dated.
Failure to Follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions and Proper Infection Control Procedures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement its infection control policy and procedures for Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during direct care activities for a resident with a gastrostomy tube. During medication administration through the gastrostomy tube, a nurse wore gloves but did not don a gown as required by EBP protocols, despite signage and PPE supplies being present outside the resident's room. The nurse stated she did not notice the precaution sign and did not realize the resident was on EBP, even though she had recently received infection control training. Additionally, the facility did not follow proper procedures for handling soiled linens and hand hygiene during incontinence care for another resident. Two nurse aides were observed placing soiled clothing and linens on the floor instead of directly into linen bags, which were available in the room. The aides also failed to remove contaminated gloves and perform hand hygiene before assisting the resident with dressing, transferring him to his wheelchair, and handling his personal belongings. Both aides acknowledged awareness of the correct procedures but did not follow them during the observed care. Interviews with staff, including the Infection Preventionist and the Director of Nursing, confirmed that education on infection control, EBP, and proper handling of soiled linens had been provided. Despite this, staff did not adhere to established protocols during the observed incidents, resulting in lapses in infection prevention and control practices for multiple residents.
Failure to Adhere to Medication Hold Parameters
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to physician orders regarding the administration of antihypertensive medications for a resident diagnosed with hypertension. The resident was prescribed Amlodipine Besylate and Carvedilol, with specific instructions to hold the medications if the systolic blood pressure was less than 120 mm/hg. Despite these parameters, the resident received five additional doses of Amlodipine Besylate and four additional doses of Carvedilol when the systolic blood pressure was below the specified threshold. This oversight occurred for one of the five residents reviewed for medication administration. The deficiency was identified through record reviews and interviews with staff, the Medical Director, and the Consultant Pharmacist. The Medication Aide responsible for administering the medications acknowledged the error, stating she was unaware of the hold parameters for Amlodipine Besylate, although she was aware of them for Carvedilol. The Medical Director and Consultant Pharmacist both indicated that while there was no harm to the resident due to the chronic use of these medications, the staff should have followed the physician's orders. The Director of Nursing confirmed that the Medication Aide should have adhered to the hold parameters as per the physician's instructions.
