Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Sodus Rehabilitation & Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
During a survey, a facility was found to have deficiencies in food storage and sanitation practices. Perishable food items were stored beyond policy limits, and kitchen equipment was heavily soiled. A sanitizer bucket was not replaced between meals, and grease traps were not properly maintained. These issues indicate a failure to meet professional standards for food service safety.
The facility failed to protect residents' privacy by publicly displaying a list of advanced directives and a picture frame with residents' names and risk group classifications. This breach of confidentiality was observed during a survey, with staff unaware of the public display of sensitive information, violating HIPAA regulations.
A resident with Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment experienced significant weight loss due to inadequate monitoring and documentation of meal intake. Despite a care plan indicating the need for meal assistance and monitoring, the facility failed to document meals consistently, leading to a 25-pound weight loss in one month. Staff interviews revealed a lack of awareness and communication about the resident's nutritional status, with no follow-up after a re-weight confirmed the loss.
Two residents in an LTC facility experienced significant medication administration errors. One resident with Parkinson's and seizures received medications late or too closely together, while another resident with diabetes did not receive insulin as ordered. Staff interviews confirmed the importance of timely medication administration, but the facility failed to adhere to its policy, leading to these deficiencies.
A resident with dementia and other conditions was involved in an alleged abuse incident where food was thrown back at them by an LPN. The facility's investigation was incomplete, lacking interviews with staff present during the incident and delayed reporting to the Department of Health. The investigation concluded no abuse occurred without sufficient evidence.
Deficiencies in Food Storage and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
During the Recertification Survey conducted from October 7 to October 11, 2024, the facility was found to have several deficiencies in food storage, preparation, and service in both the main kitchen and a satellite servery. Observations revealed that perishable food items were stored beyond the facility's policy of three days, with items such as seafood salad, bologna, pork, chicken thighs, hot dogs, roast beef, beets, bacon, gravy, beef stock, and sliced turkey being kept longer than allowed. Additionally, the walk-in freezer had spilled frozen mixed vegetables on the floor, and various kitchen equipment, including the tilt skillet, range/stove, robot coupe mixer, and ice machine, were heavily soiled with food debris and residue. Further observations noted that the sanitizer cleaning bucket in the Cortland dining room contained dirty liquid and a soiled rag, which was not replaced between meals. The Food Service Worker indicated that the sanitizer was changed only after lunch, and the Food Service Director confirmed that sanitizer test strips were not available in the dining rooms, only in the kitchen. Additionally, the grease traps in the main kitchen hood were heavily coated with grease and dust, with one section damaged and broken. The hood cleaning report from June 2024 did not specifically include the grease traps, indicating a lapse in maintenance. These findings highlight a failure to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, as required by regulations.
Violation of Resident Privacy in Display of Medical Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the confidentiality of residents' medical records, specifically regarding their advanced directives and risk group classifications. During a recertification survey, it was observed that a list containing the advanced directives of 44 residents, including their wishes for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), was posted in plain sight in the facility library, accessible to all residents and visitors. Additionally, a picture frame in the facility's front lobby displayed photos and names of 17 residents, categorizing them into elopement and explorer groups, which were visible to the public. These actions violated the residents' right to privacy as protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Interviews with facility staff, including a Licensed Practical Nurse Manager and the Administrator, revealed a lack of awareness regarding the public display of sensitive resident information. The Nurse Manager acknowledged the facility's obligation to comply with HIPAA but was unaware of any documents containing resident code status being posted in common areas. The Administrator admitted to not knowing that the CPR list was publicly displayed and stated that such information should not be visible to the public. The Administrator also explained the purpose of the elopement and explorer groups but did not realize that residents' full names were publicly listed, which should not have been the case.
Failure to Monitor and Address Significant Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that Resident #35, who was reviewed for food and nutrition, was consistently monitored for significant weight loss. The resident, diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, depression, and anxiety, was severely cognitively impaired and required assistance with meals. Despite a care plan indicating the resident was at risk for altered nutrition status and required meal monitoring, the facility did not provide documented evidence of consistent meal monitoring or interventions following a significant weight loss. Observations and interviews revealed that Resident #35 experienced a substantial weight loss over a short period, with a 25-pound loss in approximately one month and a 29-pound loss over three months. The facility's policy required regular weight monitoring and timely interventions for significant weight changes, but there was no weight documented for July 2024, and the re-weight requested in September was delayed. Meal intake records showed inadequate documentation, with only 21 out of 90 meals recorded in August, and many meals were either refused or consumed at less than 50%. Interviews with facility staff, including the Dietary Technician, LPN Manager, Registered Dietitian, and Nurse Practitioner, indicated a lack of awareness and communication regarding the resident's weight loss. The Dietary Technician admitted the resident's weight loss had not been timely addressed, and the Registered Dietitian was unaware of the issue. The Medical Director's progress note inaccurately documented the resident's meal consumption and weight status, further highlighting the communication breakdown. There was no documented follow-up after the re-weight on September 13, 2024, indicating a failure to address the resident's nutritional needs adequately.
Medication Administration Errors in LTC Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that two residents were free from significant medication errors during a recertification survey and complaint investigation. Resident #43, who had diagnoses including Parkinson's disease, seizures, and dementia, received several medications prescribed for these conditions one to three hours after the scheduled times. Additionally, a medication for Parkinson's was administered too closely to the next dose. The facility's policy required medications to be administered within one hour before or after the prescribed time, but this was not adhered to, resulting in multiple late administrations of medications such as Levetiracetam, Baclofen, Ropinirole, and Carbidopa-levodopa. Resident #66, diagnosed with diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, and congestive heart failure, did not receive their insulin administration as ordered. The Medication Administration Records showed no documented evidence of insulin administration on four occasions, late administration on seven occasions, and one instance of administration approximately six hours late. The resident expressed that receiving insulin late caused their blood sugar levels to rise, which was distressing for them. Interviews with staff confirmed that insulin was a significant medication and should have been administered as ordered. The facility's failure to administer medications as scheduled was acknowledged by the staff, including a Licensed Practical Nurse and a Nurse Practitioner, who emphasized the importance of timely medication administration for maintaining therapeutic levels and preventing adverse effects. The Director of Nursing was unaware of the medication administration issues until the residents' records were reviewed during the survey. This lack of awareness and adherence to the facility's medication administration policy contributed to the deficiencies identified in the survey.
Incomplete Investigation of Alleged Abuse Incident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to thoroughly investigate an alleged abuse incident involving a resident with dementia, depression, and diabetes, who was severely cognitively impaired. On 3/20/24, a staff member reported witnessing a potential abuse incident where a resident threw food at an LPN, who then swatted it away, causing the food to go back towards the resident. The facility's investigation, led by the Director of Nursing, concluded no abuse occurred but did not include interviews with staff members who were present during the incident. Additionally, the facility delayed reporting the alleged abuse to the Department of Health until 13 days after the incident. Interviews conducted during the survey revealed that several staff members, including CNAs who witnessed the incident, were not asked to provide statements until prompted by surveyors on 4/4/24. The LPN Manager, who initially received a report of the incident, failed to complete an Incident/Accident Report and could not locate written statements from staff. The Administrator acknowledged that the incident should have been reported within five days and that staff present during the incident should have been interviewed. The investigation was incomplete, lacking crucial witness accounts and timely reporting.
