Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Woodlawn Healthcare Center Llc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility's Legionella water management plan did not include an assessment identifying where Legionella or other opportunistic waterborne pathogens could grow and spread, and it also lacked interventions for when control limits were not met. The policy required hot water temperatures to be maintained between 116 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and the DON confirmed the findings during interview. CDC guidance reviewed by surveyors stated that hot water should be stored above 140 F and circulating hot water maintained above 120 F, and that hazardous conditions should have control points, measures, limits, and corrective actions.
Failure to provide SNF ABN notifications for two residents. The facility initiated discharge from Medicare Part A services before benefit days were exhausted, while both residents remained in the facility and had last covered skilled services recorded. Neither resident nor their representative received the required ABN, and the BOM confirmed the findings.
A resident with limited ROM had an OT order for daily palm protectors to reduce contractures and skin breakdown, but staff did not apply them and kept them stored in the bedside drawer. Surveyors observed the resident with both hands clenched and without the devices in bed and later in the dining room, and the TAR showed no documentation that the palm protectors were applied daily.
A facility failed to provide a resident with the required Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) before discharging them from Medicare services. The resident was discharged to home or lesser care without receiving the necessary notification, as confirmed by the Business Office Manager.
The facility failed to ensure that the activities program was directed by a qualified professional. The Activities Director, who started in April 2024, lacked certification as a therapeutic recreation specialist and did not have the required two years of experience in a social or recreational program. This deficiency impacted the facility's ability to provide a qualified activities program for its 44 residents.
The facility failed to sanitize dishes according to manufacturer's instructions, as observed when the Dietary Manager tested the sanitizer level, which showed 0 PPM instead of the required 50-100 PPM. Further review revealed missing sanitizer testing records on specific dates, and the Dietary Aide confirmed following the same inadequate testing process.
The facility did not ensure that required members of the QAA committee attended meetings quarterly. The Infection Preventionist missed the first three quarters, and the Administrator missed the fourth quarter of 2024. This was confirmed through attendance sheets and an interview with the Administrator.
Water Management Plan Lacked Legionella Risk Assessment and Control Interventions
Penalty
Summary
The facility's water management plan for Legionella did not include an assessment documenting where Legionella or other opportunistic waterborne pathogens could grow and spread. Review of the facility policy titled Woodlawn Care Center Legionella Management Plan Policy and Procedure showed that no such assessment was identified within the plan, and there were no established interventions for situations in which control limits were not met. The policy also stated that hot water temperatures were to be maintained between 116 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit to discourage Legionella growth. During interview, the Director of Maintenance confirmed these findings. Review of CDC guidance dated January 3, 2025 stated that hot water should be stored above 140 F and circulating hot water maintained above 120 F. Review of CDC guidance dated September 30, 2025 stated that areas where Legionella could grow and spread should be identified and that each potentially hazardous condition should have a control point, measure, and limit, with corrective actions planned when monitoring results are outside control limits.
Failure to Provide SNF ABN Notifications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide SNF Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) notifications for 2 of 3 residents reviewed for beneficiary notification. For Resident #4, review of the SNF Beneficiary Notification form showed the facility/provider initiated discharge from Medicare Part A services before the resident’s benefit days were exhausted, the resident remained in the facility, and the last covered skilled services were on 10/10/25; however, the resident or representative was not provided the SNF ABN. For Resident #14, review of the same form showed the facility/provider initiated discharge from Medicare Part A services before the resident’s benefit days were exhausted, the resident remained at the facility, and the last covered skilled services were on 10/16/25; however, the resident or representative was not provided the SNF ABN. Staff D, the Business Office Manager, confirmed these findings during interview.
Failure to Apply Ordered Palm Protectors
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with limited ROM had the ordered equipment in place to help maintain hand positioning and prevent contractures. The resident had a physician’s order for OT-recommended palm protectors to be worn daily as tolerated to reduce contractures and skin breakdown, with instructions to clean and thoroughly dry the palms before application. On observation, the resident was found sleeping in bed with both hands clenched and not wearing the palm protectors, which were stored in the bedside table drawer. The assigned LNA confirmed the protectors had not been applied. Later observations in the dining room showed the resident again with clenched hands and still not wearing the palm protectors on either hand. Review of the treatment administration records for January and February 2026 showed no documentation that the palm protectors had been applied daily, and the ADON confirmed these findings.
Failure to Provide Medicare Non-Coverage Notice
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident and/or their representative was informed of the Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) for Medicare services. Specifically, the resident was discharged from Medicare services to home or lesser care without being provided a Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) Form CMS-10123 prior to discharge. This deficiency was confirmed through an interview with the Business Office Manager, who acknowledged that the required notice was not given to the resident before the termination of Medicare Part A services.
Unqualified Activities Director
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the activities program was directed by a qualified professional. An interview with the Activities Director, Staff C, revealed that they began working in this role in April 2024. However, it was confirmed by the Administrator, Staff B, that Staff C had not completed a certification as a therapeutic recreation specialist and did not have the required two years of experience in a social or recreational program. This deficiency affected the facility's ability to provide a qualified activities program for its 44 residents.
Failure to Properly Sanitize Dishes
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly sanitize dishes according to the manufacturer's instructions, as observed during a survey. On the morning of January 13, 2025, the Dietary Manager, referred to as Staff C, was observed running a load of dishes through the dishwasher. Staff C used a test strip to measure the sanitizer level in a bucket attached to the dishwasher, which showed a result of 0 PPM (parts per million). Despite running the dishwasher a second time and testing the fluid twice more, the results remained at 0 PPM. The manufacturer's instructions require the sanitizer to register between 50-100 PPM on the test strips. Further investigation revealed that the facility did not record sanitizer testing on January 4 and January 11, 2025, during breakfast, as noted in the January 2025 Sanitizer PPM Daily Logs. An interview with a Dietary Aide, referred to as Staff E, confirmed these findings and indicated that the same testing process was followed as observed with Staff C. The manufacturer's instructions for the Chlorine Sanitizer Test Procedures for Low-Temperature Dishmachines specify that a rinse sample should be collected directly from the rinse nozzle using proper PPE, which was not adhered to in this instance.
Failure to Ensure Required QAA Committee Attendance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the required members of the Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) committee attended meetings at least quarterly. Specifically, the Infection Preventionist was absent from the meetings in the first three quarters of 2024, and the Administrator was absent in the fourth quarter. This was confirmed through a review of the Quality Assurance Improvement (QAPI) meeting attendance sheets from 2024 and an interview with the Administrator. The facility's policy, titled 'Quality Performance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Program - Governance and Leadership,' mandates the presence of the Administrator, Director of Nursing Services, Medical Director, and Infection Preventionist on the committee.
