Sanitation and Food Safety Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to store, prepare, distribute, and serve foods in a sanitary manner and in accordance with the facility policies. Observations revealed multiple deficiencies in the kitchen, including the absence of temperature logs for the dishwasher and walk-in refrigerator, undated and unlabeled food items, and the presence of a pink wet substance in the ice machine. Additionally, the dry food storage area contained expired items and opened, undated bottles. The food temperature log was incomplete for several dates in April 2024. The interim Dietary Manager confirmed these observations and acknowledged the lapses in maintaining proper records and cleanliness standards. Further observations showed that Cook #60 did not follow proper hand hygiene and glove-changing protocols while preparing pureed chicken and vegetables. The cook touched various surfaces and food items with the same gloves, failing to change them or wash hands throughout the process. Cook #60 admitted to not adhering to the required hygiene practices during the food preparation process. Additional concerns were noted in the kitchen, including mold-like substances on the walls and floor drains, a buildup of debris on the stove top, and food spatters on the walls near the pan storage racks. The sanitation bucket used for cleaning food prep surfaces tested at a lower concentration than required, and there were no cleaning schedules available for April 2024. The Maintenance Director confirmed these issues and verified that the ice machine and dish machine hood were not being maintained properly. The facility policies reviewed indicated that these practices were not in compliance with the established standards for food safety and sanitation.
Expired Medications Administered to Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were discarded after their expiration date, affecting multiple residents. Resident #59, diagnosed with type two diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, and atrial fibrillation, was administered expired Novolog insulin. This was confirmed by an LPN during an observation of the medication cart. Similarly, Resident #72, with diagnoses including hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, was given expired Pro-stat for nutrition support, which was also verified by an LPN. Resident #368, diagnosed with congestive heart failure, type two diabetes mellitus, and peripheral vascular disease, received expired Pro-stat, confirmed by an RN during a medication cart observation. Resident #1, with diagnoses including congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, type two diabetes mellitus, and moderate-protein calorie malnutrition, was also given expired Pro-stat, verified by the same RN. Lastly, Resident #38, diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, emphysema, and anxiety disorder, was administered expired Fish Oil capsules, confirmed by the RN during the same observation session. The facility's policy on medication storage, which mandates that medications and biologicals be stored safely, securely, and properly, was not followed. The policy also requires that outdated, contaminated, or deteriorated medications be immediately removed from stock and disposed of according to procedures for medication disposal. The failure to adhere to this policy was evident in the observations and staff interviews, where expired medications were found in the medication carts and administered to residents. This deficiency affected the quality of care provided to the residents and highlighted lapses in the facility's medication management practices.
Failure to Complete Ordered Blood Work
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that blood work was completed as ordered for two residents. Resident #23, who has diagnoses including dementia, peripheral vascular disease, and major depressive disorder, was ordered to have various blood tests every four months. While the initial blood work was completed in October 2023, the facility did not obtain the required blood work in February 2024. This was confirmed by the Director of Nursing during an interview. Similarly, Resident #88, who has diagnoses including benign neoplasm of meninges, diabetes type II, and hypertensive retinopathy, was also ordered to have blood work every four months. The facility failed to complete the required blood work in February 2024. The Administrator confirmed that the blood work was missed and mentioned that the facility is changing laboratory companies next month. The facility's policy states that physician-ordered laboratory testing should be completed timely, which was not adhered to in these cases.
