Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Woodside Manor Nursing Home Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Kitchen Food Storage and Temperature Control Deficiencies: Surveyors observed multiple food safety issues in the main kitchen, including raw shell eggs and raw chicken stored in a manner that did not prevent cross-contamination, unlabeled and undated cooked eggs and cantaloupe, a severely dented can in dry storage, condensation dripping onto tomato soup from a hole in a reach-in cooler, and thermometers stored in a cup of dirty liquid rather than sanitizer. During lunch service, cheeseburger patties on the steam table were measured below the facility's hot-holding standard.
A resident with diabetes, COPD, and HF was cognitively intact, but a bottle of miconazole nitrate powder was found at the bedside and the resident said they had been self-administering it. The chart had no order for the powder, no order for self-administration or bedside storage, and the care plan did not address self-administration. An LPN said the powder was a medication and should have been ordered, assessed for safety, and care-planned; the NP and DON were unaware the resident had been using it.
A resident’s personal and medical information was left visible on an unattended computer on a medication cart in a hallway, and another resident’s personal information and MAR were exposed on an unlocked cart while an LPN was in a resident’s room. The screen and cart remained open for several minutes, and the DON stated resident information should not be visible when the nurse is away from the cart.
Failure to Provide Needed Grooming and Hand Hygiene: A resident with vascular dementia and severe cognitive impairment was repeatedly observed with long fingernails and dark brown debris under multiple nails, and was seen eating cake with bare hands. The care plan indicated the resident needed staff help with grooming and could be combative with nail trimming, while a CNA said the resident required cueing for hand hygiene and had not had hands cleaned before receiving food. The DON stated the debris was suspected to be feces.
Failure to follow ordered wound care for a resident’s heel pressure ulcer. An LPN removed the old dressing, cleansed the wound, and applied a new dressing without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene in between, and did not apply the ordered medi-honey. The resident had dementia, dysphagia, a sacral pressure ulcer, and a heel pressure ulcer, and the MDS documented severe cognitive impairment and unhealed pressure ulcers.
Unlocked medication carts and incomplete narcotic count documentation were identified during survey. An LPN was observed leaving a medication cart unlocked and unattended with multiple medications on top of the cart, including eye drops, nitroglycerin, Tylenol, and topical cream. Review of the narcotic record showed missing nurse signatures for several shift changes, with no documented evidence that two nurses verified the count.
An LPN handled a resident’s wound dressing change without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene between removing the soiled dressing and applying the clean one, despite the resident having pressure ulcers, diabetes, and severely impaired cognition. In a separate observation, laundry staff handled visibly soiled linens and gowns with urine and feces odor while wearing gloves only, even though facility policy and leadership stated a gown and gloves should be used when handling soiled laundry.
Kitchen Food Storage and Temperature Control Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
Food was not stored, prepared, distributed, and served in accordance with professional standards in the main kitchen. During the initial tour, surveyors observed an approximately 1/2-inch hole in the interior ceiling of a four-door Traulsen reach-in cooler with condensate dripping onto and pooling on the lid of a container of tomato soup. In the same cooler, a stainless-steel pan of approximately 24 cooked shell eggs and a pan of cut cantaloupe were found unlabeled and undated, and the cook stated they had been prepared the previous afternoon. Surveyors also observed five crates of raw shell eggs stored together and immediately adjacent to five 32-ounce containers of pasteurized liquid eggs on the same tray in the cooler, and a pan of raw chicken breasts stored directly above a box of raw single sliced bacon. Additional kitchen observations showed a 6-pound, 10-ounce can of fruit cocktail in dry storage that was severely dented at the end seams on the top and bottom. At lunch service, several cheeseburger patties held on the steam table were measured at 123 F to 133 F, below the facility's hot-holding standard, and the cook stated the burgers had been cooked to about 180 F and placed on the steam table a few minutes earlier before being returned to the oven for reheating. Surveyors also observed four bimetallic dial thermometers and one digital probe thermometer stored in a plastic cup containing partially clear liquid with visible debris; the cook stated they were stored in clean water and was unsure when the liquid was last changed, while the Food Service Director stated they should be stored in sanitizer solution.
Failure to Assess and Order Self-Administration of Bedside Medication
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure the interdisciplinary team determined whether Resident #48’s right to self-administer medications was clinically appropriate. Resident #48 had diagnoses including diabetes, COPD, and heart failure, and the MDS dated 08/27/2025 documented the resident was cognitively intact. During an observation on 08/27/2025, a bottle of miconazole nitrate 2% powder was found at the resident’s bedside, and the resident stated they had been self-administering the medication. The resident also stated they brought the medication with them on admission and that staff had been applying the powder under the breasts and in the groin skin folds. Review of the order summary showed an order for miconazole nitrate topical cream 2% to the right abdominal fold, but no order for the powder, no order allowing self-administration, and no order permitting medications to be kept at the bedside. The comprehensive care plan dated 08/21/2025 did not include goals or interventions addressing self-administration or bedside storage of medications. On 08/28/2025, the powder was still at the bedside. An LPN stated the powder was a medication and that the resident should have had an order, safety assessment, and care plan for self-administration. The NP stated they did not know the resident had been using the powder, and the DON stated they were not aware the resident had medications at the bedside and described the needed process for self-administration approval.
Resident Information Left Visible on Unattended Medication Carts
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure residents’ rights to privacy and the confidentiality of personal and medical records were maintained. During the survey, a computer on a medication cart was observed in a hallway near a resident’s room with the screen open and exposing Resident #25’s picture, name, date of birth, room number, and acetaminophen medication order. The computer remained unattended for nine minutes before an LPN returned and stated the screen should have been closed when the cart was left unattended. A second observation found another medication cart in the hallway unlocked with the computer screen open, exposing Resident #30’s personal information and medication administration record. The cart and screen were unattended for several minutes while the LPN was in the resident’s room administering medication. The Administrator stated the cart should have been locked and the computer screen closed because they should not be open, and the DON later stated resident personal information should not be visible when the nurse is away from the medication cart.
Failure to Provide Needed Grooming and Hand Hygiene
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that Resident #12, who had vascular dementia, anxiety, depression, and severe cognitive impairment, received the necessary assistance to maintain good grooming and personal hygiene. The resident’s care plan and Kardex indicated the resident required staff assistance with grooming and could be combative with nail trimming, with interventions to redirect the resident and reattempt care when calm. The resident also had an order for a finger foods diet and required assistance with personal hygiene per the MDS. During the survey, Resident #12 was observed on multiple occasions with long fingernails, dark brown debris underneath multiple nails, chipped or missing nail polish, and jagged nail edges on two fingers. The resident was also observed eating cake with bare hands while still having debris under the fingernails. A CNA stated the resident needed cueing with hand hygiene, liked to eat with their hands, and had not had hands cleaned that day before receiving food. An LPN stated staff were expected to document refusals and reapproach the resident if nail care was refused, and the DON stated the dark brown debris was suspected to be feces and that staff would be expected to perform hand care before meals, as needed, and as tolerated.
Failure to Follow Ordered Wound Care for a Heel Pressure Ulcer
Penalty
Summary
A nurse did not provide pressure ulcer care to Resident #4 in accordance with the medical order and facility wound care policy during dressing change to the resident’s right heel pressure ulcer. The facility policy required soiled gloves to be removed after the old dressing was taken off and a new pair of gloves to be put on before applying a new dressing, but the nurse removed the old dressing, cleansed the wound, and applied a new dressing without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene in between. The nurse also did not apply the ordered medi-honey to the wound. Resident #4 had diagnoses including dementia, dysphagia, a sacral pressure ulcer, and a heel pressure ulcer. The resident’s MDS documented severe cognitive impairment, risk for pressure ulcers, unhealed pressure ulcers, and receipt of pressure ulcer care. The current order for the right heel wound directed staff to cleanse the area, pat dry, apply medi-honey, and cover with an adhesive foam dressing every day shift, and the care plan included providing treatment as ordered by the medical provider. During interview, the nurse stated they did not know the wound care order had changed to include medi-honey and should have checked the medical orders before performing the dressing change.
Unlocked medication carts and incomplete narcotic count documentation
Penalty
Summary
Drugs and biologicals were not consistently stored in locked compartments, and the facility did not maintain a complete account of controlled drugs. During observation on 08/25/2025, the Hallway B medication cart was found unlocked and unattended, with medications left on top of the cart, including an unidentified blister pack of pills, latanoprost eye drops, dorzolamide eye drops, Rhopressa eye drops, and nitroglycerin. LPN #1 later stated medications should not be left on top of the cart and the cart should be locked when unattended. The facility’s policies stated medications are to be stored in locked medication areas and the medication cart is to be locked at all times when not in use. The narcotic record also did not contain complete shift-change verification. Review of the August 2025 Narcotic Record Sign-in Sheet showed 8 of 164 opportunities with missing signatures and no documented evidence that two nurses verified the narcotic count. On 08/28/2025, the Hallway A medication cart was observed unlocked and unattended with an open, half-full bottle of Tylenol 500 mg tablets and a tube of muscle rub topical cream on top of the cart. The cart remained unattended during a later continuous observation, and LPN #3 stated they had forgotten to lock it. The DON stated medications should never be left unattended on top of the cart and that nurses are expected to sign the narcotic record at each shift change.
Infection Control Lapses During Wound Care and Laundry Handling
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections. During observation, an LPN removed the soiled dressing from a resident’s wound, cleansed the wound bed, and applied a clean dressing without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene in between. The facility’s wound care policy stated that gloves should be removed and hand hygiene performed after removing an old dressing, and new gloves should be applied before applying a new dressing. The Infection Preventionist stated the nurse should have removed gloves and performed hand hygiene between handling the soiled and clean dressings. The resident involved had diagnoses including a stage 2 pressure ulcer of the heel, a stage 4 pressure ulcer of the sacral region, and diabetes. The resident’s MDS documented severely impaired cognition, unhealed pressure ulcers, and receipt of pressure ulcer care, and the care plan identified impaired skin integrity related to pressure ulcers and included skin rounds and ordered treatment. In a separate observation, laundry staff handled visibly soiled bed pads, towels, and hospital gowns with a strong odor of urine and feces while wearing gloves only and no gown. The facility’s infection control policy and the Administrator stated staff should wear gloves and a gown when handling soiled laundry, and the Infection Preventionist stated housekeeping and laundry staff should wear gloves and a gown when handling soiled laundry.
