Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Phoenix Rehabilitation And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not store food according to professional standards, as expired enteral feeding bottles were found in the kitchen dry storage room. The facility's policy requires stock rotation and routine checks, but 24 bottles with past due dates were discovered. The Dietary Aide and Food Service Director acknowledged the oversight, but the expired items were not removed.
The facility was cited for infection control deficiencies, including a CNA failing to perform hand hygiene between assisting two residents and an incomplete Legionella Water Management Plan lacking acceptable pathogen levels. Staff acknowledged the lapses, and the importance of proper protocols was emphasized by the DON and Infection Preventionist.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and tracheostomy status did not receive proper respiratory care as required by facility policy. The resident's family member performed tracheostomy care without training or supervision, using non-aseptic techniques. Facility staff were unaware of this practice, despite having a care plan and physician's orders in place.
Expired Enteral Feeding Bottles Found in Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food was stored in accordance with professional standards for food service safety, as observed during a recertification survey. Specifically, multiple expired enteral feeding bottles were found in the kitchen dry storage room. The facility's policy requires stock rotation using the first in, first out method, and routine checks by the Food Service Director or designee to ensure proper stock rotation. During an initial tour of the kitchen and emergency food storage area, 24 bottles of enteral feeding were found with past due use by dates. The Dietary Aide stated that they rotate food items by placing old items in front and new items behind. The Food Service Director acknowledged noticing the expired feedings and instructing the Dietary Aide to remove them, but the task was not completed.
Infection Control Lapses in Hand Hygiene and Water Management
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper infection prevention and control practices during a recertification survey. Specifically, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) did not perform hand hygiene between assisting two residents with hand hygiene before lunch. The CNA acknowledged the lapse in protocol, and the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and Infection Preventionist confirmed that staff had been trained and that hand sanitizers were available. The Director of Nursing emphasized the importance of changing gloves and performing hand hygiene between residents to prevent cross-contamination. Additionally, the facility's Legionella Water Management Plan was found to be incomplete, lacking a specified range of acceptable pathogen levels. The Assistant Administrator acknowledged this omission and indicated that the plan would be updated to include the necessary information. These deficiencies highlight lapses in both direct care practices and facility management protocols related to infection control.
Inadequate Supervision of Tracheostomy Care by Family Member
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care for a resident requiring tracheostomy care, as observed during a recertification survey. A family member of the resident was seen performing tracheostomy care without any training or supervision from the facility's licensed staff. The family member used regular gloves and did not follow aseptic techniques as outlined in the facility's policy, which requires a sterile field and enhanced barrier precautions. The family member washed and reused tracheostomy items without changing gloves, contrary to the professional standards of practice. The resident involved had severe cognitive impairment and was dependent on staff for all activities of daily living, including tracheostomy care. Despite having a comprehensive care plan and physician's orders for tracheostomy care, the facility staff did not ensure that the care was provided by trained personnel. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness and supervision regarding the family member's involvement in the resident's tracheostomy care, indicating a breakdown in communication and adherence to the facility's policies.
