Medication Labeling and Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that drugs and biologicals were labeled and stored according to professional standards of practice. During the recertification survey, it was observed that opened medications lacked open and expiration dates, and personal items were improperly stored with controlled substances. Specifically, an open bottle of Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative in the pharmacy refrigerator had no open or expiration date. Additionally, medication carts contained open vials of insulin and eye drops without expiration dates, and personal items such as wallets and cash were found in a narcotic box. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of awareness and adherence to the facility's medication storage and administration policies. Licensed Practical Nurses were unaware of the pharmacy grid for medications with shortened expiration dates, and the Director of Nursing and Assistant Director were not certain if nursing staff were informed about the availability of a safe for resident valuables. The Nurse Educator indicated that medication administration audits were conducted upon hire, and annual nurse competencies had been initiated, but the responsibility for labeling open and expiration dates was not consistently followed.
Deficiency in Kitchen and Grill Room Cleanliness
Penalty
Summary
During a recertification survey, it was observed that the facility failed to maintain cleanliness in the main kitchen and Grill Room, which are essential for food service safety. Specifically, the cooking line shelving, ceiling fan, and floors under and behind the cooking line equipment in the main kitchen were found to be soiled with food particles or thick dust. Additionally, the dry storage room floor, fire extinguishers, and kitchen fire suppression system canister and pull station were also dirty. Furthermore, a bulk container of liquid thickener was not labeled. In the Grill Room resident cafe, the knife rack and floor under and behind the cooking line equipment were similarly soiled with food particles. These observations were confirmed through interviews with staff members, who acknowledged the need for cleaning these areas.
Improper Disposal of Grease Waste
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly dispose of refuse related to the outdoor grease collection bin, as observed during a recertification survey. The exterior of the grease recycling bin, located in the garbage compactor area, was heavily coated with a black build-up of spilled-over grease, attracting flies. This observation was made during a surveyor's visit, highlighting the improper maintenance and cleanliness of the grease bin. Interviews with staff revealed acknowledgment of the issue, with a commitment to address the cleanliness of the bin.
