Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at West Village Rehabilitation And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
An LPN failed to disinfect a BP cuff before, after, or between use while administering meds and obtaining BP readings for three residents. The same BP machine was moved from room to room without disinfectant wipes on the cart, and the LPN acknowledged the cuff was not cleaned between residents. The nursing supervisor and DON stated that BP cuffs are expected to be disinfected between each resident use.
A resident with Parkinson’s disease and sepsis-related diagnoses was assessed as needing help with personal hygiene, including shaving. The resident reported repeated requests for shaving and nail care that were not met, and surveyors observed a full ungroomed beard and long, dirty fingernails. CNA documentation showed no evidence of shaving or nail care being provided or refused for extended periods, and the CNA and RN both acknowledged the grooming needs were not being addressed.
The facility did not ensure proper disposal of garbage as the dumpsters outside were left open, contrary to policy. A dietary aide followed the trash disposal procedure, but the dumpsters, although clean, had their lids open. The Director of Facilities Management stated that due to space constraints and constant use, the dumpsters were kept open, despite being informed of the pest risk.
A facility failed to create a comprehensive care plan for a resident prescribed Ambien for insomnia, despite policy requirements. Staff interviews confirmed the absence of a care plan for this controlled substance, highlighting a deficiency in the care planning process.
Failure to Disinfect Blood Pressure Cuff Between Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain infection control practices during medication administration when an LPN did not disinfect a blood pressure cuff before, after, or between resident use. During observation on Unit 5, the LPN obtained a rolling cart with a digital blood pressure machine from the hallway, and the cart did not contain disinfectant wipes. The machine was taken into Resident #52’s room, where a blood pressure reading was obtained and medications were administered, but the cuff was not disinfected before or after use. The same machine was then used in Resident #28’s room for another blood pressure reading and medication administration, again without disinfection before or after use, and the machine was left in the room. The LPN then retrieved the same blood pressure machine and used it again in Resident #31’s room, where a blood pressure reading was obtained without the cuff being disinfected before, after, or between resident use. During interview, the LPN stated that blood pressure cuffs should be cleaned with antimicrobial wipes between resident use to prevent transmission of germs from resident to resident and acknowledged the cuff was not disinfected because they forgot. The nursing supervisor and Infection Preventionist stated that blood pressure cuffs should be disinfected between each resident use to prevent cross contamination and the spread of infection, and the DON stated that nursing staff are expected to disinfect blood pressure cuffs between resident use.
Failure to Provide Needed Grooming and Hygiene Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident who required assistance with activities of daily living received needed grooming and personal hygiene care. Resident #123, who had diagnoses including sepsis and Parkinson’s disease, was assessed as needing partial/moderate assistance with personal hygiene, including shaving, and the care plan documented that the resident required supervision or touching assistance for personal hygiene tasks. The facility’s policies stated that residents are to receive individualized grooming and hygiene care, including nail care and shaving, and that refusals must be documented and reported. Resident #123 told the surveyor that since admission they had repeatedly asked a CNA for help with shaving and nail care but had not received it. The resident was observed in bed wearing a hospital gown with a full ungroomed beard and long, jagged, dirty fingernails, and these observations were confirmed by the RN and DON. Review of CNA documentation showed no evidence that shaving had been provided or refused during the review period, and no documented evidence of nail care for multiple date ranges. The assigned CNA stated they do not cut residents’ fingernails or shave residents, acknowledged the resident’s nails had last been filed on 05/17/2026, and acknowledged the beard had not been shaved. The charge nurse stated the resident had been observed with a full, ungroomed beard and long, dirty fingernails and that an instruction to provide nail care had not been carried out.
Improper Garbage Disposal Due to Open Dumpsters
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper disposal of garbage and refuse, as observed during a recertification survey. Specifically, the garbage dumpsters located outside the facility were not covered with lids, contrary to the facility's policy and procedure titled 'Proper Disposal of Garbage and Refuse,' which mandates that the garbage storage area be kept in a sanitary condition to prevent pest infestation. On the day of observation, a dietary aide was seen following the kitchen trash disposal procedure by sealing trash bags and placing them in a covered bin before taking them to the loading dock. However, the dumpsters, although clean and in good repair, had their lids in an open position. When questioned, the dietary aide referred to the Director of Food Services, who then involved the Director of Facilities Management. The Director of Facilities Management explained that due to space constraints and constant use, the dumpsters were kept open 24 hours a day, despite being informed that open dumpsters could attract pests.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plan for Ambien Use
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan for a resident who was prescribed Ambien (Zolpidem Tartrate) for insomnia. Despite the resident's cognitive intactness and participation in the assessment, the care plan did not address the use of this controlled substance, which was prescribed due to the resident's difficulty sleeping caused by low back pain and concerns about their spouse's health. The facility's policy mandates that a comprehensive care plan should be developed within seven days after the completion of the comprehensive assessment, including measurable objectives and timetables to meet the resident's needs. However, this was not done for the resident in question. Interviews with facility staff, including a Client Care Associate, a Registered Nurse, and the Director of Nursing, confirmed the absence of a care plan for the resident's use of Ambien. The staff acknowledged that a care plan should have been in place, especially since Ambien is a controlled substance. The Director of Nursing reviewed the resident's medical record and was unable to explain why the care plan had not been initiated since the resident's admission over two months prior. This oversight was identified during a recertification survey, highlighting a deficiency in the facility's care planning process.
