Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Harmon Hospital - Snf during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Improper Dishwasher Sanitizing Temperature and Unsanitary Ice Storage: The facility failed to ensure the dishwasher reached the required sanitizing temperature during the wash cycle, with the gauge reading 100 degrees F instead of the minimum 120 degrees F confirmed by the Dietary Manager. The facility also stored resident ice in a five-gallon plastic container in the hallway with a black serving tray as a makeshift lid and used a water pitcher liner as an ice scoop; an uncovered ice scoop was also found stored with uncovered bath basins. A CNA was observed using the liner to scoop ice into resident pitchers, and the IP, RCM, and DON verified resident ice should have come from the unit nutrition room.
Improper Dumpster Waste Containment and Area Cleanliness: Surveyors observed scattered debris near the dumpster, including gloves and Styrofoam cups, and found that half of one dumpster lid was missing, leaving part of the container uncovered. The facility's Waste Disposal policy required waste to be disposed of in a way that kept the dumpster area clean and waste containers covered and closed.
Incomplete Water Management Program: The facility failed to maintain an up-to-date, facility-specific WMP to prevent Legionella growth and spread. The WMP included only a brief water path description and a sample CDC diagram, while a current building-specific water system diagram could not be located. The most recent Water Safety Management Assessment & Plan was dated 11/22/2021, and although staff reported Legionella testing, chlorination, and flushing, no recent documentation of those measures was available for review.
A resident was admitted with a midline catheter that had not been used since hospital discharge, and the facility failed to obtain a physician's indication for its maintenance or removal. Despite the absence of IV medication orders, nursing staff did not seek clarification from a physician, leaving the invasive device in place unnecessarily, which posed an infection risk. The facility's policies required review and justification for invasive devices upon admission, but these procedures were not followed.
The facility did not complete annual performance evaluations for three CNAs hired in 2019, as required by policy. The absence of these evaluations was confirmed by the Human Resources Director and the Administrator, who acknowledged the oversight. The facility's policy mandates evaluations to assess achievements and identify areas for improvement, which were not conducted, potentially affecting resident care quality.
The facility's kitchen was found to be unsanitary, with a dirty oven, uncovered food, and expired items in storage. These issues arose after the dietary manager's resignation, leading to lapses in cleaning and food safety protocols.
Improper Dishwasher Sanitizing Temperature and Unsanitary Ice Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the dishwasher reached the proper sanitizing temperature during the wash cycle. During a kitchen tour with the Dietary Manager, the dishwasher temperature gauge registered 100 degrees Fahrenheit for the wash cycle. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the wash cycle should have reached a minimum of 120 degrees Fahrenheit and stated that this temperature was required to ensure bacteria was killed and controlled. The facility policy for ware washing required staff to check the wash and rinse cycle temperatures and verify that both met the required temperature. The facility also failed to store ice and ice scoops intended for resident use in a sanitary manner. A five-gallon plastic food storage container filled with ice was observed in the hallway adjacent to the skilled nursing station, covered with a black serving tray used as a makeshift lid, with a water pitcher liner sitting inside the ice and being used as an ice scoop. An uncovered plastic ice scoop was also observed lying inside a stack of uncovered bath basins on the cart. A CNA was observed removing the tray and using the water pitcher liner to scoop ice into resident pitchers, and the CNA confirmed the liner was being used and stored as an ice scoop. The IP, RCM, and DON verified that resident ice should have been obtained from the nutrition room on the unit and not from the makeshift ice chest, lid, and scoop arrangement.
Improper Dumpster Waste Containment and Area Cleanliness
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure trash was contained and the area surrounding the dumpster was kept clean. On 01/07/2026 at 8:51 AM, during a tour of the dumpster storage area with the Dietary Manager, surveyors observed scattered debris on the ground near a dumpster, including gloves, Styrofoam cups, and other random debris. The dumpster had a single top opening divided into two independently lifting lids, and half of the left-side lid was missing, leaving part of the dumpster uncovered. The facility policy titled Waste Disposal, revised 10/15/2025, stated that waste was to be disposed of in a manner to prevent transmission of disease, nuisance or breeding place for insects and feeding places for rodents and other mammals, and that the area around the refuse dumpster was to be kept clean, odor and rodent free and waste containers covered and closed.
Incomplete Water Management Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an up-to-date and complete Water Management Program (WMP) to prevent the growth and spread of Legionella bacteria. During interview, the Infection Preventionist and Regional Operations Plant Director stated the facility followed CDC guidelines for Legionella prevention. However, the WMP contained only a brief description of the building's water path and a sample CDC diagram that was identified as illustrative only and not specific to the building. A current, facility-specific water system diagram could not be located, and the most recent Water Safety Management Assessment & Plan was dated 11/22/2021. The Regional Operations Plant Director reported the facility had a contract with a water management vendor and that Legionella testing was performed in 2025, along with chlorination and flushing, but no recent documentation of these prevention measures was available for review.
Failure to Obtain Physician's Indication for Midline Catheter
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a physician's indication for a midline catheter was obtained for a resident admitted with the device. The resident, who had a history of cellulitis and diabetes mellitus, was admitted with a midline catheter in the left upper arm, which had not been used since the resident's hospital discharge. The midline was initially inserted for IV antibiotic therapy, which was completed before the resident's transfer to the skilled nursing facility. Despite the absence of IV medication orders upon admission, the nursing staff did not seek clarification from a physician regarding the necessity of maintaining or removing the midline. Observations revealed that the midline was not in use, and the nursing staff, including the RN and DON, confirmed the lack of communication with a physician about the midline's status. The DON acknowledged that the midline, being an invasive device, posed an infection risk if left in place unnecessarily. The facility's policies required review and justification for invasive devices upon admission, but these procedures were not followed, leading to the deficiency in care for the resident.
Failure to Conduct Annual CNA Performance Evaluations
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to complete annual performance evaluations for three Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), identified as Employee 3, Employee 9, and Employee 11. These CNAs were hired in 2019, and their performance evaluations were not conducted as required by the facility's policy. The Personnel Records Checklist confirmed the absence of these evaluations, and both the Human Resources Director and the Administrator acknowledged this oversight. The facility's policy, revised in 2007, mandates performance evaluations at the 90-day introductory period and annually thereafter to assess achievements, identify areas for improvement, and set goals for the upcoming period. The lack of timely evaluations could potentially compromise the quality of care provided to residents.
Sanitation and Food Storage Deficiencies in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the kitchen in a sanitary manner, leading to several deficiencies that could potentially place residents at risk for foodborne illnesses. During a kitchen tour, a tin can without a handle was found inside a bulk container of flour, which should have been accessed with a handled scooper to prevent hand contamination. Additionally, a commercial-size double oven was observed to be very dirty, with heavy grease build-up and crumbs, as it had not been cleaned for two weeks following the resignation of the former dietary manager. The topmost rack inside the walk-in freezer had dirt build-up, and a metal pan containing cooked ground meat was left uncovered, both of which were acknowledged by the kitchen staff as unsanitary practices. Further inspection revealed expired food items in the dry storage room, including bottles of Dijon mustard, boxes of powdered sugar, bottles of salted caramel syrup, and pouches of chocolate pie filling. The lead kitchen staff confirmed these findings and attributed the oversight to the recent resignation of the dietary manager and the newness of the lead cook to their role. The facility's policies on sanitation and food safety, which include regular cleaning schedules and checking expiration dates, were not adhered to, contributing to the deficiencies observed.
