Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Slate Valley Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not consistently provide enough nursing staff, particularly CNAs, to meet the assessed needs of all residents, resulting in delayed responses to call bells and extended wait times for care. Residents reported frequent understaffing, especially on weekends, and staffing records confirmed that scheduled CNA hours often fell short of the facility's own requirements. Both the staffing coordinator and DON acknowledged challenges in maintaining adequate staffing levels.
Surveyors identified that food service areas, including the main kitchen and both unit nourishment rooms, were not maintained according to professional standards. The dishwashing machine and surrounding floors were soiled, clean kitchenware was stored while still wet, and refrigerators and floors in nourishment rooms had food particles or dirt. Cleaning checklists did not include all necessary tasks, contributing to the observed deficiencies.
A resident with significant cognitive and medical impairments did not receive timely optometry follow-up or replacement glasses after their original pair was broken. Despite documentation indicating the need for a follow-up appointment and new glasses, there was no evidence that these services were provided, and the DON was unaware of the lapse.
Insufficient Nursing Staff Leading to Delayed Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide sufficient nursing staff to meet the needs of all residents, as required by their own facility assessment and regulatory standards. Observations and record reviews revealed that, on at least ten occasions between mid-February and mid-April, the number of Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) hours scheduled fell significantly below the minimum hours determined necessary for the census on those days. For example, on several days when the census ranged from 83 to 88 residents, the facility provided between 120 and 160 CNA hours, despite the facility assessment indicating a need for over 200 hours. The staffing plan outlined specific requirements for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs per shift, but these were not consistently met according to the reviewed schedules. During resident interviews, multiple individuals reported that insufficient staffing led to long wait times for care and delayed responses to call bells, particularly on weekends when only one or two aides were present per unit. The staffing coordinator and DON both confirmed that staffing levels were determined by a corporate-created program based on census, but acknowledged that the facility often struggled to meet these requirements, especially due to a limited pool of available staff in their remote location. No specific resident medical histories or acute conditions were detailed in the report, but the deficiency was evidenced by both resident complaints and documented staffing shortfalls.
Food Service Sanitation and Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety in the main kitchen and both resident unit nourishment rooms. In the main kitchen, the dishwashing machine temperature display panel and the floors beneath the machine were soiled with food particles or dirt. Additionally, the storage area for clean pots, pans, and food containers contained multiple items that were stacked together while still wet and not thoroughly dried, resulting in moisture being present. In the A-Unit nourishment room, the refrigerator door gaskets were found to be soiled with food particles, while in the B-Unit nourishment room, both the refrigerator and the floor were soiled with food particles or dirt. These deficiencies were identified during direct observation and confirmed through staff interviews, which revealed that certain cleaning tasks, such as cleaning the refrigerator gaskets, were not included on the cleaning checklist, and that staff had not ensured that kitchenware was completely dry before storage.
Failure to Provide Timely Vision Services and Assistive Devices
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with multiple diagnoses, including polyneuropathy, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was not provided with necessary vision care services. The resident, who was severely cognitively impaired and had moderately impaired vision requiring corrective lenses, had a documented need for optometry follow-up and replacement glasses after their glasses were broken. The last recorded optometry consult was in May 2023, with a follow-up scheduled for November 2023, and a note in December 2023 indicated the need for a visit due to broken glasses. However, there was no documented evidence that the resident was seen by the optometrist after the initial visit or that new glasses were provided. An email from the optometry service confirmed that the resident was not seen following the May 2023 appointment. During an interview, the DON was unaware of the issue and acknowledged that the resident should have had a follow-up appointment and received new glasses. The lack of documented follow-up and provision of assistive devices resulted in the facility failing to ensure the resident received proper treatment and assistive devices to maintain vision, as required by regulation.
