Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Childrens Specialized Hospital Toms River during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors observed deficiencies in food safety and sanitation practices at the facility. The Director of Maintenance was in the kitchen without a beard restraint, violating facility policy. Various food items were improperly stored and labeled, including bowls of pears, gelatin, and applesauce without dates, and expired coleslaw. The facility's policies on food storage and labeling were not followed, contributing to the deficiency.
The facility failed to maintain a clean environment in two resident rooms, as observed by a surveyor. Issues included an unpackaged oral syringe on the floor, a nutritional formula bag on a resident's bed, residue stains, and overflowing trash bins. The Environmental Services Director noted that rooms are cleaned twice daily, but cleanliness is a shared responsibility when staff are not present.
Deficiency in Food Safety and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to handle potentially hazardous food and maintain sanitation in a safe and consistent manner, as observed by surveyors. The Director of Maintenance (DOM) was seen in the kitchen without a beard restraint, which is against the facility's policy requiring hair restraints to prevent hair from contacting exposed food. Additionally, various food items in the kitchen were improperly stored and labeled. In the meat refrigerator, there were bowls of pears, gelatin, and applesauce without open or expiration dates, and brownies dated several days prior. A case of frozen hot dogs had an opened bag exposed to air without proper labeling. In the produce/milk refrigerator, a bag of coleslaw was found with an expiration date that had already passed. In the dry storage area, coffee lids were exposed to air, and in the freezer, a bag of breaded nuggets was opened and exposed to air without labeling. The facility's policies on food storage and labeling were not adhered to, as evidenced by the lack of proper labeling and dating of food items, and the exposure of food to open air. The Director of the Kitchen (DOK) confirmed that the DOM should have worn a beard restraint and that metal tier racks should be labeled and dated. The facility's policies require that perishable food items be labeled with an 'Opened On' date and a 'Use By' date, and that leftover cooked food products be discarded after three days. The policies also state that all foods should be stored in an airtight manner and not exposed to open air, and that food items should be discarded upon expiration. These lapses in following established procedures contributed to the deficiency in maintaining food safety and sanitation standards.
Failure to Maintain Clean Environment in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean environment in two of the seven occupied resident rooms, as observed by the surveyor. During the initial tour, an unpackaged oral syringe was found on the floor, and an unpackaged nutritional formula bag was left on a bed occupied by a resident. Additionally, residue stains were observed on the floor. In another room, a closed-top trash bin was partially open with disposable gowns visible over the brim, indicating improper waste management. Further observations revealed a bedside table with disposable gloves and tissues left on top, and another room with a trash bin similarly overflowing with disposable gowns. Interviews with the Environmental Services Director (ESD) revealed that trash cans are emptied each time environmental service employees visit the rooms, but they do not work overnight. The ESD stated that rooms are cleaned twice daily and that cleanliness is a shared responsibility when environmental services are not present. The facility's policy emphasizes maintaining a clean environment to minimize exposure to potentially infectious microorganisms, which was not adhered to in these instances.
