Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Brookside Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A staff member used incorrect scoop sizes when serving breakfast items, resulting in portion sizes that did not match the planned dietary spreadsheet. The Registered Dietitian confirmed the error, which had the potential to affect all residents by not meeting their nutritional needs.
A deficiency was identified when an LPN failed to perform proper hand hygiene and maintain aseptic technique during tracheostomy care for a resident under Enhanced Barrier Precautions. The LPN used contaminated gloves to handle both trash and sterile care items, violating facility policies and physician orders for infection control.
Incorrect Portion Sizes Served at Breakfast
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that portion sizes for breakfast items were served as planned according to the dietary spreadsheet. On the observed breakfast tray line, a staff member used incorrect scoop sizes for several food items, including ground ham, pureed ham, pureed eggs, scrambled eggs, and pureed muffins. Specifically, larger scoops than specified were used, resulting in serving sizes that did not match the planned portions. The Registered Dietitian confirmed that the correct scoop sizes were not used, and the staff member involved stated that he became confused and referred to the lunch portion sizes instead of those for breakfast. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 94 residents in the facility, as the incorrect portion sizes could impact the nutritional needs of the residents.
Failure to Maintain Infection Control During Tracheostomy Care
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a licensed practical nurse (LPN) failed to maintain infection control principles during tracheostomy care for a resident with a tracheostomy and Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) in place. The LPN did not perform hand hygiene with alcohol-based hand sanitizer or soap and water prior to entering the resident's room and before donning personal protective equipment (PPE), which included a gown, mask, and gloves. During the care process, the LPN used her gloved hand to push down overflowing trash in the trash can and then, without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene, used the same gloved hand to handle items that would come into direct contact with the resident's tracheostomy, such as a cup for saline solution, the tracheostomy care kit, and the inner-cannula cleaning brush. The process was stopped due to infection control concerns, and the incident was reported to the Director of Nursing (DON). The resident involved had a medical history including tracheostomy, laryngeal stenosis, post-procedural subglottic stenosis, paranoid schizophrenia, drug-induced dyskinesia, and morbid obesity. Physician orders required daily and as-needed tracheostomy care, with specific instructions for cleansing and maintaining aseptic technique. Facility policies on Enhanced Barrier Precautions, Standard Precautions, and Tracheostomy Care all emphasized the importance of hand hygiene and aseptic technique, which were not followed during this observed incident.
