Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mill Creek Nursing & Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to properly store thickener and flour, as observed during a kitchen tour. Two containers, one labeled flour and the other labeled thickener, were found with their lids off. The Dietary Manager confirmed the improper storage. This issue had the potential to affect residents on pureed and mechanical diets.
The facility failed to ensure call lights were within reach for two residents, leading to a deficiency. One resident had call lights out of reach in her room, while another had a soft touch pad on the nightstand and a phone on the floor. Both residents had care plans indicating a risk for falls and interventions for easy access to commonly used items.
The facility failed to administer oxygen therapy per physician orders and did not date oxygen tubing for two residents. One resident received oxygen at a lower rate than prescribed, and another was placed on oxygen without a physician's order. The facility's policy requires physician notification and order placement in the EMR, which was not followed.
A facility failed to honor a resident's food preferences, who was admitted with conditions including type 2 diabetes. Despite the resident's meal ticket listing spinach and greens as dislikes, collard greens were placed on their meal tray. Dietary staff initially suggested the resident could request a replacement upon delivery. The Dietary Manager later confirmed that preferences should be honored and instructed the staff to replace the collard greens with a salad. The resident confirmed their dislike for spinach, greens, and collard greens.
Improper Storage of Thickener and Flour
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper storage of thickener and flour, as observed during a kitchen tour. Two large square containers, one labeled flour and the other labeled thickener, were found with their lids off on the bottom shelf of a table holding the immersion blender. This observation was made at a time when no food was being blended or prepared. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the containers were not properly covered. This deficiency had the potential to affect three residents on pureed diets and 14 residents on mechanical diets, within a facility census of 71.
Inaccessible Call Lights for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that call lights were within reach and accessible for two residents, leading to a deficiency in accommodating the needs and preferences of these residents. Resident #17, who was admitted with diagnoses including hypertensive heart disease and general anxiety disorder, was observed in her wheelchair with two call lights in her private room. One call light was coming off the wall with the button on the floor, and the other was a soft touch pad hanging on the wall, both out of reach. This was verified by Medical Records #205. Similarly, Resident #66, admitted with conditions such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, was observed lying in bed with her soft touch pad on the nightstand and her telephone off the hook on the floor under the bed. This was confirmed by the Assistant Director of Nursing #208. Both residents had care plans indicating a potential risk for falls and interventions to have commonly used articles within easy reach, which were not adhered to, resulting in the deficiency.
Oxygen Administration Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper administration of oxygen therapy for two residents, leading to deficiencies in care. Resident #23, who has diagnoses including respiratory failure and pneumonia, was observed receiving oxygen at a rate of 1 LPM, contrary to the physician's order of 2-4 LPM. Additionally, the oxygen tubing was not dated, and there was no order for nasal cannula maintenance in the electronic medical record. This discrepancy was confirmed by RN #76, who acknowledged the deviation from the prescribed oxygen rate and the lack of documentation for tubing changes. Resident #31, diagnosed with chronic respiratory failure and asthma, was placed on oxygen without a physician's order or documentation of physician notification. The resident's oxygen saturation levels were recorded as low, yet there was no evidence of physician notification or orders for oxygen therapy in the medical record. An observation revealed undated oxygen tubing connected to an oxygen concentrator in the resident's room. The Director of Nursing confirmed the absence of orders and the facility's policy requiring physician notification and order placement in the electronic medical record after initiating oxygen therapy.
Failure to Honor Resident's Food Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to honor the food preferences of Resident #185, who was admitted with diagnoses including a urinary tract infection, asthma, and type 2 diabetes. The resident was cognitively intact and received a regular diet as per the Medicare five-day Minimum Data Set. The care plan indicated the need to honor food and beverage preferences. However, on a specific date, the resident's meal ticket listed spinach and greens as dislikes, yet a bowl of collard greens was placed on the meal tray by Dietary Personnel #231. When questioned, the dietary personnel stated that the resident could request something else upon delivery. The Dietary Manager later confirmed that food preferences should be honored and instructed the staff to replace the collard greens with a salad. The resident confirmed their dislike for spinach, greens, and collard greens.
