Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Park Terrace Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that multiple rooms had peeling paint, dirty air conditioning units, stained windows, and significant dirt and grime in bathrooms and on floors. Grime and stains were also observed near wardrobe closets and on the ceiling, with some areas not cleaned due to access issues. Housekeeping and maintenance staff acknowledged the deficiencies during interviews.
Licensed nurses did not appropriately verify gastrostomy tube placement before administering medications and enteral feedings to three residents, relying on air injection and auscultation rather than aspirating gastric contents as recommended. Facility policy and staff interviews confirmed this practice, which was observed during medication and feeding administration for residents with complex medical needs.
Surveyors identified multiple deficiencies in environmental cleanliness and maintenance, including dirty and debris-laden floors, stained and sticky surfaces, peeling paint, corroded cabinets, and ripped dining room chairs across several units. The kitchen was also found to have significant dust accumulation on equipment and shelves, with cleaning not performed for several months. Despite daily rounds by staff, these issues were not reported or addressed, resulting in a failure to provide a safe, functional, and comfortable environment.
The facility did not maintain an effective pest control program, as evidenced by repeated sightings and reports of roaches and mice in resident rooms, the kitchen, and staff areas. Despite regular exterminator visits and treatments, staff and residents continued to observe pests, and service logs documented ongoing infestations over several months.
Physician progress notes for two residents inaccurately stated that PT and OT were ordered for increased weakness, balance, and coordination deficits after prolonged hospitalization. Record review showed neither resident had current PT/OT orders, Section O did not reflect therapy services, and therapy notes documented prior discharge from skilled services with no current skilled intervention indicated. Interviews confirmed the documentation was an error.
Food safety practices were not followed in the kitchen and on the units. Expired food and supplements were found in storage, staff handled food without beard or hair restraints, cold foods were served above the acceptable temperature range, and sandwiches were left at room temperature instead of being refrigerated. During meal pass, a CNA assisted multiple residents without performing hand hygiene between residents.
A resident with cognitive impairment and multiple medical conditions experienced a bed bug infestation in their room, which was treated by pest control. The facility did not inform the resident's representative about the infestation, despite policy requiring notification of such changes. Staff interviews indicated unclear responsibility and lack of documentation regarding family notification.
Failure to Maintain Clean, Comfortable, and Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors identified multiple deficiencies in the facility's housekeeping and maintenance services, particularly in Unit 4. Observations revealed numerous instances of unclean and deteriorating conditions, including peeling paint on wall baseboards, dirty and stained air conditioning units, stained and dirty windows, and significant dirt and grime in bathrooms and on floors. Specific rooms were noted to have dirty or stained baseboards, sticky and rusty floors, and the presence of duct tape on air conditioning units. The resident training bathroom and shower room also had visible dirt between floor tiles. These findings were corroborated during environmental rounds with the Housekeeping Director, who acknowledged the issues. Further observations in another room revealed brownish grime on the floor near wardrobe closets, dirt accumulation where baseboards and floors meet, and a large brown stain on the ceiling near the windows. Interviews with housekeeping staff indicated that some areas, such as behind or beneath bolted wardrobes, had not been cleaned due to access issues, and the Director of Maintenance was unaware of the ceiling stain, though a previous leak had been repaired. The Administrator stated that daily environmental rounds are conducted to check for cleanliness and repairs, and that all staff are expected to report areas needing attention.
Failure to Appropriately Verify Feeding Tube Placement Prior to Medication and Feeding Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that residents with gastrostomy tubes received appropriate care and services to prevent complications related to enteral feeding. Specifically, licensed nurses did not properly verify the placement of gastrostomy tubes prior to administering medications and enteral feedings for three residents reviewed. Instead of aspirating gastric contents to confirm tube placement, nurses routinely injected air into the tube and listened for a gurgling sound with a stethoscope, as per facility practice and policy at the time. This method was used during direct observations of medication and feeding administration for residents with diagnoses including gastrostomy status, dysphagia, malnutrition, Parkinsonism, and traumatic brain injury. Interviews with nursing staff and facility leadership confirmed that the standard practice was to check tube placement by auscultation after air injection, and that staff were not instructed to verify placement by aspirating gastric contents or checking for gastric residuals. The facility's policies on medication administration and gastrostomy tube feeding also directed staff to use the auscultation method. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that the policy had only recently changed and that prior to this, staff were not trained to use aspiration to verify tube placement.
Failure to Maintain Safe, Sanitary, and Comfortable Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public, as evidenced by multiple observations across several units and the kitchen. Environmental rounds revealed dirty and debris-laden floors in the dining room, sticky and stained floors in the medication room, a rusty metal filing cabinet, stained wall baseboards, peeling paint, and dirty wall bases in various areas. Additionally, the dining room chairs in multiple units were found with ripped vinyl and cushions. The kitchen was observed to have accumulated dust on the refrigerator coil, food shelves, and a large fan, with the Food Service Director noting that dusting and cleaning had last occurred four to five months prior. Interviews with facility staff, including the Administrator and a Registered Nurse, indicated that daily environmental rounds were conducted by Housekeeping and Maintenance Directors, and that staff were expected to report areas needing attention. However, despite these procedures, the observed deficiencies persisted, with staff not having identified or reported the issues with the furniture or cleanliness. The facility's General Maintenance Policy required premises and equipment to be maintained in a clean, safe, and functional condition, but these standards were not met as documented during the survey.
Failure to Maintain Effective Pest Control Program
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, resulting in ongoing issues with roaches and mice in both resident areas and the kitchen. Multiple reports and direct observations documented the presence of roaches, including one seen crawling on top of the dish machine during a kitchen inspection. Staff and residents reported frequent sightings of roaches and mice, particularly on Unit 4 and in the kitchen, with several entries in the Pest Elimination Division Service Request Log confirming repeated incidents over several months. Despite regular weekly visits from an exterminator and additional treatments when urgent issues were reported, the pest problem persisted, as evidenced by continued sightings and complaints from residents and staff. Residents described seeing roaches in their rooms daily and reported the issue to staff, with some stating that exterminator visits did not resolve the problem. Staff members, including dietary aides, CNAs, and nurses, corroborated these reports, noting sightings of roaches throughout the facility and in staff areas. The facility's own policy required an effective pest control program, but the ongoing presence of pests indicated that the measures in place were insufficient to eradicate or contain the infestations.
Physician progress notes inaccurately documented PT/OT orders and resident status
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure physicians reviewed residents’ total programs of care and accurately documented their current condition and care plans in progress notes for two residents. For Resident #107, who had diagnoses including hemiplegia, traumatic brain injury, and anxiety disorder, the physician’s progress note stated the resident had increased weakness, balance, and coordination deficits due to a recent prolonged hospitalization and that Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy were ordered to improve mobility and self-care. However, the resident’s record showed the last admission to the facility was on 02/18/2025, the 08/21/2025 MDS documented moderately impaired cognition and partial assistance with hygiene, toileting, and transfers, and Section O did not show PT or OT services. Physician orders dated 08/19/2025 did not include PT or OT, PT notes showed the resident had been discharged from skilled therapy on 05/07/2025 and later reassessed with unchanged functional/ambulatory status, and OT notes showed discharge from skilled therapy on 05/06/2025 with no intervention indicated on reassessment. For Resident #184, who had diagnoses including cerebrovascular accident, hemiplegia, and traumatic brain injury, the physician’s progress note similarly documented increased weakness, balance, and coordination deficits due to a recent prolonged hospitalization and stated that PT and OT were ordered to improve mobility and self-care. The record showed the resident’s last admission to the facility was on 06/28/2021, the 07/02/2025 MDS documented independent consistent cognition and supervision assistance with hygiene, toileting, and transfers, and Section O did not show PT or OT services. Physician orders dated 08/26/2025 did not include PT or OT, PT notes showed discharge from skilled therapy on 12/13/2024 with unchanged functional/ambulatory status on reassessment, and OT notes documented no significant change in upper extremity range of motion and no OT intervention indicated. Interviews with the MD, Rehab RN, Director of Rehabilitative Therapy, and Medical Director confirmed the PT/OT documentation in the progress notes was an error and that the residents were not on skilled PT or OT programs.
Food Safety and Hand Hygiene Lapses
Penalty
Summary
Food was not stored, prepared, distributed, and served in accordance with professional food service standards. During kitchen observation, an open box of chicken pot pie with a best-by date of 01/29/2025 was found in the refrigerator, and expired liquid supplements were also present in emergency food storage, including Jevity 1.2, Osmolite 1.2, and Glucerna with best-by or use-by dates ranging from 07/01/2025 to 09/01/2025. The Food Service Director stated the vendor had come the prior Friday to remove expired food items but did not take the closed cases of liquid supplement. Staff were also observed handling food without required beard or hair restraints, including a staff member with visible mustache and beard while handling tuna sandwiches, a dietary aide preparing supplements without a beard cover, and another dietary aide in the kitchen without a hair net. In addition, cold foods on the tray line were out of acceptable temperature range, including gyro veggies at 41.5 degrees Fahrenheit, egg salad sandwiches at 42.1 degrees Fahrenheit, and turkey sandwiches at 41.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Tuna, egg salad, and ham sandwiches were also observed stored at room temperature in Unit 4 and Unit 6 rather than refrigerated. During meal pass observation, a CNA assisted residents with hand hygiene and handled wipes and trays without performing hand hygiene between residents, and staff interviews confirmed inconsistent understanding of hand hygiene and sandwich storage practices.
Failure to Notify Resident Representative of Bed Bug Infestation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the representative of a resident with vascular dementia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and malignant neoplasm of the colon about a bed bug infestation in the resident's room. Documentation showed that pest control services treated the room for bed bugs, but there was no evidence that the resident's representative was informed of the situation. The facility's policy requires timely notification of changes relevant to a resident's condition or room to the appropriate parties, but this was not followed in this instance. Interviews with staff revealed that the responsibility for notifying families about bed bug infestations was shared between the nursing and social services departments. However, the social services department was short-staffed at the time, and the Director of Social Work indicated that such communications might not be documented in the resident's progress notes. The resident's representative confirmed they were not notified about the infestation.
