Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Cardinal At North Hills during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that staff failed to label and date multiple opened and repackaged food items in both reach-in freezers and at a kitchen prep station, including vegetables, meats, ice cream, and bread. Staff interviews confirmed that labeling and dating was required but not performed, resulting in a deficiency in food storage practices.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment was found with multiple unexplained skin tears, but the facility did not notify law enforcement or APS, nor did it submit the required investigation report to the State Agency within the mandated timeframe. Key staff were unaware of the incident, and documentation of the event and required notifications was missing.
Failure to Label and Date Opened and Repackaged Food Items
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly label and date repackaged and opened food items in both reach-in freezers and at a kitchen preparation station. During an initial tour of the second-floor kitchen, surveyors observed multiple food items, including bags of carrots, shaved coconut, chicken tenders, hamburger sliders, and potato chips, stored in plastic bags without open dates in the freezers. Additionally, two opened 5-gallon buckets of ice cream and heavily buttered thick sliced bread in plastic grocery bags were also found without open dates. Staff interviews confirmed that it was their responsibility to label and date opened food items, and that these items had not been properly labeled as required. The Executive Chef and Dietary Aides acknowledged during interviews that staff were trained to label food items with the date they were opened before storing them in the freezer, but this procedure was not followed. The Executive Chef indicated that the second-floor kitchen was primarily managed by Dietary Aides, and the Administrator confirmed that food was often removed from its original container and sent from the first-floor kitchen to the second-floor kitchen, but staff were still expected to label and date the items. The failure to label and date these food items constituted a deficiency in food storage practices.
Failure to Report and Investigate Injury of Unknown Origin
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an allegation of injury of unknown origin for a resident with dementia, hypertension, arthritis, and a history of kidney stones. The resident, who required full assistance with daily activities and had severely impaired cognitive skills, was found by a nurse aide to have six open, red, and bloody skin tears on her inner right forearm. The nurse aide notified a nurse, who evaluated and dressed the wounds, but there was no evidence that the incident was reported to local law enforcement or Adult Protective Services (APS) as required. Additionally, the facility did not submit an Investigation Report to the State Agency within the required five-day timeframe. Staff interviews and record reviews revealed that the Director of Nursing, Social Worker, and current Administrator were unaware of the incident, as they were recently hired and the staff involved were no longer employed at the facility. The facility was unable to provide documentation of the required notifications or the investigation report, and attempts to contact the responsible party and involved staff were unsuccessful. The lack of timely reporting and documentation constituted a failure to follow mandated procedures for suspected abuse, neglect, or injury of unknown origin.
