Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Residence At Huntington Court during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
An LPN failed to clean reusable vital sign equipment between two residents on enhanced barrier precautions, including one on contact precautions for Klebsiella pneumoniae, and reached into a red biohazard bin containing soiled gowns with bare hands after removing PPE. On a resident hallway, a linen cart was left uncovered with clean towels and gowns exposed, and a dirty towel with brown spots was found on top of the clean linen cart, with a bag of soiled items placed directly next to it on the floor. Staff later acknowledged that reusable equipment should be cleaned between residents and that linen carts should remain covered, consistent with facility infection control policies.
A resident with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, encephalopathy, severely impaired cognition, and documented moderate hearing difficulty with hearing aids did not have a care plan addressing hearing loss or hearing aid use. Review of the care plan showed no problem focus or interventions for hearing aid care or storage, despite MDS assessments indicating hearing needs. Staff confirmed there was no care plan for hearing loss, and the Administrator reported the resident’s hearing aids had been lost and later reordered. Facility policy required the IDT to periodically review and revise care plans based on resident needs, but this was not done for the resident’s hearing and hearing aid management.
A dietary staff member was repeatedly observed preparing and serving food with a hairnet that did not fully restrain her hair, leaving a significant portion exposed while handling meals for all residents. Staff interviews and facility policy confirmed that hairnets should cover all hair at all times in the kitchen to maintain sanitary food service.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and multiple health conditions did not receive adequate nail care, as their fingernails remained long and soiled despite documentation indicating care was provided. Staff reported the resident was resistant and sometimes combative, which prevented completion of nail cleaning, but these refusals and incomplete care were not properly documented. The facility did not have a formal nail care policy, and the deficiency was confirmed through observation, record review, and staff interviews.
A resident with heart failure received blood pressure medications despite physician orders to hold them if systolic blood pressure was below a set threshold. Multiple nurses administered or documented administration of these medications outside the prescribed parameters, often due to confusion about the correct hold values. The facility's policy to check vital signs and follow orders was not consistently followed, resulting in significant medication errors.
The facility did not consistently post nurse staffing data at the beginning of each shift, nor did it include the required resident census on the posted forms. Staffing forms were often completed only once per day, and there was no designated staff to post them on weekends. Interviews revealed that the DON and other staff were unaware of the requirement to post this information each shift, and there was no facility policy in place to ensure compliance.
Failure to Clean Reusable Equipment and Maintain Clean Linen Storage
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves failures in infection prevention and control related to reusable equipment cleaning and linen handling. One resident with sepsis, sarcoid myocarditis, an indwelling urinary catheter, and Klebsiella pneumoniae was on enhanced barrier precautions and contact precautions. Another resident with onychogryphosis and moderately impaired cognition was on enhanced barrier precautions due to a suprapubic catheter. During observation, an LPN obtained vital signs, including pulse oximetry, thermometer, and blood pressure measurements, from the first resident and then from another resident without cleaning the reusable equipment between residents. The LPN removed her gown and gloves and, when attempting to dispose of them in a red biohazard bin where the bag had fallen, reached into the bin with bare hands despite multiple dirty gowns being present, and later confirmed she should have worn gloves and cleaned the equipment between residents. Additional observations on the F Hallway showed improper linen storage and proximity of soiled items to clean linen. A three-tier linen cart was observed with its front cover flap left open, exposing all towels and gowns to the air; a CNA confirmed the flap should always be down covering the linen. Later, the housekeeping supervisor observed a dirty white towel with brown spots placed on top of the clean linen cart and a dirty bag on the floor directly next to the linen cart containing gloves and a gown, and confirmed these findings. The DON confirmed that staff should be cleaning all reusable equipment between residents. Policy reviews showed that facility infection control policies required gloves when there is potential contact with blood or body fluids and required that reusable equipment not be used for another resident until appropriately cleaned and reprocessed.
Failure to Implement Person-Centered Care Plan for Hearing Loss and Hearing Aids
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement a comprehensive, person-centered care plan addressing hearing loss and hearing aid use for a resident, as required by its care planning process. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and encephalopathy, and an MDS 3.0 assessment initially documented minimal difficulty hearing with hearing aids, later showing severely impaired cognition, moderate hearing difficulty, and continued hearing aid use. Despite these documented needs, review of the resident’s care plan, last revised on 03/13/26, showed no problem focus related to being hard of hearing or wearing hearing aids and no interventions for hearing aid care or storage. Staff interviews confirmed the absence of a hearing loss/hearing aid care plan, and the Administrator reported that the resident’s hearing aids had been lost and subsequently reordered, with new aids arriving on 03/23/26. Policy review showed that the facility’s interdisciplinary team was required to periodically review and revise care plans based on resident goals, preferences, and needs, but this was not done for the resident’s hearing loss and hearing aid management. This deficiency was cited for failure to implement a comprehensive person-centered care plan for hearing aids and hearing loss for one resident reviewed for care plans, under Complaint Number 2802107.
Improper Use of Hairnets by Dietary Staff During Food Preparation and Service
Penalty
Summary
Dietary staff failed to ensure that hairnets were properly worn to restrain all hair while preparing and serving food for the facility's 90 residents. During multiple observations, a dietary staff member was seen with a hairnet that only covered the top part of her hair, leaving approximately 12 inches of hair hanging down her back and outside the hairnet while preparing pureed foods, preparing the lunch meal, and serving food from the steam table. The staff member acknowledged that the hairnet should cover her whole head but stated she was in a hurry and forgot to put it on properly. Interviews with the Regional Registered Dietitian, Dietary Manager, Director of Nursing, and Administrator confirmed their expectations that hairnets should be worn at all times in the kitchen and must cover all hair to prevent contamination of food. Review of the facility's infection control policy also indicated that hairnets or caps must be worn to effectively keep hair from contacting exposed food, clean equipment, utensils, and linens. The failure to properly restrain hair while handling food was directly observed and confirmed by staff interviews and policy review.
Failure to Provide and Document Adequate Nail Care for Dependent Resident
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to provide adequate nail care for a resident with severe cognitive impairment, multiple medical conditions including diabetes, and a need for assistance with personal care. Documentation indicated that nail care was provided on two occasions, but observations revealed the resident's fingernails were long and had brown matter underneath, indicating inadequate cleaning. Staff interviews revealed that the resident was resistant and sometimes combative during care, which prevented completion of nail cleaning. However, staff did not accurately document the resident's refusals or the incomplete care in the required records. Further review showed that although staff communicated verbally about the resident's resistance to nail care, this was not consistently documented in the progress notes or on the shower day skin inspection sheets. The facility lacked a formal policy for nail care, and staff relied on standard practice. The deficiency was identified through direct observation, record review, and staff interviews, which confirmed that the resident's nail care needs were not fully met and that documentation of care and refusals was incomplete.
Failure to Hold Blood Pressure Medications per Physician Parameters
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to follow physician-ordered parameters for administering blood pressure medications to a resident with a history of acute combined systolic and diastolic heart failure. The resident had orders for Isosorbide Mononitrate and Lisinopril, both with explicit instructions to hold the medication if the systolic blood pressure (SBP) was less than 120 mmHg or the heart rate was less than 60 beats per minute. Despite these orders, medication administration records showed that these medications were given on multiple occasions when the resident's SBP was below the prescribed threshold. Interviews with nursing staff revealed a lack of clarity and adherence to the specific parameters outlined in the physician's orders. Several nurses admitted to administering the medications when the resident's SBP was below 120 mmHg, with some staff mistakenly believing the hold parameter was 110 mmHg. Others acknowledged that they may have documented administration even when the medication was actually held, indicating inconsistencies in both practice and documentation. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator confirmed that medications should not have been administered outside of the prescribed parameters and that proper documentation was not consistently completed. The facility's policy required staff to obtain and record vital signs prior to medication administration and to follow all physician orders. However, the review of records and staff interviews demonstrated that these procedures were not consistently followed, resulting in significant medication errors for the resident. No medication error reports were completed for these incidents, and the Medical Director was only notified after the issue was identified during the review.
Failure to Post Required Nurse Staffing Data and Resident Census Each Shift
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nurse staffing data was posted daily at the beginning of each shift, including weekends, and that the posted information contained the required resident census. Review of daily staffing forms over a two-and-a-half-month period revealed that the resident census was not documented for each shift, and on multiple occasions, the staffing form was either missing or incomplete. Observations confirmed that the posted forms did not include the resident census and, at times, were not posted at all. Interviews with the DON and other staff indicated a lack of awareness regarding the requirement to post staffing data at the start of each shift and to include the resident census. The DON reported that staffing forms were typically completed and posted once per day during weekdays, with projected staffing posted for weekends, but no one was designated to post the forms on weekends. Corporate staff confirmed there was no policy in place for posting nurse staffing data, and the facility relied on federal regulations. These practices had the potential to affect all 90 residents in the facility.
