Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Langdon Place Of Dover during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain professional standards for food safety, including inadequate food labeling, storage, and sanitization processes. The Food Services Manager admitted to not performing PPM testing for the dishwasher, and logs showed no documentation of such testing. Observations revealed unsanitary conditions in the kitchen and walk-in refrigerator, confirmed by staff interviews.
The facility did not implement its water management program to prevent Legionella, as hot water was not run in unoccupied rooms for over seven days, and weekly temperatures at the water storage tank were not taken. This led to a deficiency in infection prevention and control.
A medication cart was found unlocked and unattended in a common area with two residents nearby, contrary to the facility's policy requiring medication carts to be locked when not attended by nursing staff. This was confirmed by a Clinical Corporate Nurse.
The facility failed to administer COVID-19 vaccines to two residents who had given consent. Despite having available doses and a policy in place, the residents' medical records lacked documentation of the vaccine being administered. The DON confirmed these findings.
Deficiencies in Food Safety and Sanitization Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food safety, resulting in deficiencies related to food labeling, storage, and sanitization processes. During an interview, the Food Services Manager, Staff J, admitted that the facility used a low-temperature chemical sanitizing dishwasher but did not perform parts per million (PPM) testing, relying solely on temperature checks. A review of the Monthly Dish Machine Logs for January and February 2025 showed no documentation of PPM testing, despite the logs having designated spaces for recording this information three times a day. The logs also included a directive to stop washing and alert a manager if temperatures or chemical concentrations did not meet parameters. Additionally, the Product Specification Document from Ecolab USA Inc. specified the need for a chlorine test kit to maintain sanitizer concentrations at 50 PPM, not exceeding 100 PPM. Observations in the kitchen revealed unsanitary conditions, including dried cooked eggs, egg shells, pasta, and food debris on the floor in the food preparation area. Further inspection of the walk-in refrigerator uncovered a purple dried substance under the shelving, along with dried onion skins and other unidentified debris. These findings were confirmed by Staff I, a cook, and Staff H, the Regional Dietary Manager, during interviews. The lack of proper food labeling, storage, and sanitization, along with the unclean environment, posed a risk of foodborne illness, highlighting the facility's failure to maintain a clean and safe food service environment.
Failure to Implement Water Management Program for Legionella Prevention
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement a water management program to prevent waterborne pathogens, specifically Legionella, as required by their policy. The policy, dated 2016, outlined areas where Legionella could grow, control measures, and interventions when control limits were not met. However, the facility did not adhere to these guidelines. The Director of Maintenance admitted that hot water was not run in several unoccupied rooms for more than seven days, contrary to the policy. Additionally, the facility failed to take weekly temperatures at the water storage tank, which is a critical control measure to prevent the growth of Legionella. These inactions led to a deficiency in the facility's infection prevention and control program.
Medication Storage Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional principles for medication storage, as observed on February 6, 2025. A medication cart located in a common area was found unlocked and unattended, with two residents present nearby. This observation was confirmed by Staff C, a Clinical Corporate Nurse, who acknowledged that it was against the facility's policy to leave medication carts unlocked when not attended by nursing staff. The facility's policy on medication storage, reviewed on February 10, 2025, mandates that all drugs and biologicals be stored in locked compartments and that medications must be under direct observation or locked during medication pass.
Failure to Administer COVID-19 Vaccines After Consent
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement policies and procedures for providing COVID-19 vaccines to two residents who had given consent for vaccination. Resident #1 had consented to receive the COVID-19 vaccine on 2/1/24, but there was no documentation in the medical record indicating that the vaccine was administered. Similarly, Resident #10 had consented to vaccination on 11/12/23, but their immunization record also lacked documentation of the vaccine being administered. These findings were confirmed by the Director of Nursing during an interview on 3/13/24, who acknowledged that the pharmacy had available single doses of COVID-19 vaccines since October 2023. The facility's policy, revised on 2/7/24, outlined the steps for providing COVID-19 vaccinations, including obtaining vaccination history, offering the vaccine, obtaining consent, and administering the vaccine. Despite these procedures, the facility did not follow through with the administration of the vaccine for the two residents who had given consent. The review of the facility's updated COVID-19 vaccine information from the CDC further supported the need for timely vaccination according to the recommended schedule, which was not adhered to in these cases.
