Health deficiencies cited at Artesian Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Food was not prepared and served in a sanitary manner during 3 of 3 meal prep and service observations. An dietary manager with visible facial hair was observed handling grocery items and helping prepare lunch without a beard guard, despite the facility policy requiring hair restraints, including beard restraints, for food and nutrition services staff. The dietary manager stated a different interpretation of the policy, while the regional RN stated staff with facial hair who prepare or serve food must wear a beard guard.
The facility failed to notify a resident's family member about a UTI and a new antibiotic order for a resident. The record did not document the notification, and both an LPN and the ADON stated the family member should have been informed and the change documented in the medical record.
An LPN failed to follow EBP during urinary catheter care for a resident with an indwelling urinary catheter and neurogenic bladder. The LPN used hand hygiene and gloves but did not wear a gown during the care, even though the resident’s care plan and the facility’s EBP policy required gown and glove use for catheter care. The LPN stated a gown should have been worn, and the ADON/IP confirmed staff should have worn gown and gloves.
Food Service Staff Failed to Wear Beard Restraint During Meal Preparation
Penalty
Summary
Food was not prepared and served in a sanitary manner to minimize the risk of infection/cross contamination during 3 of 3 meal preparation and service observations. During an observation on 05/05/26 at 11:45 a.m., the dietary manager was seen with visible facial hair while performing tasks without wearing a beard guard. The dietary manager placed grocery items in the refrigerator and then began helping prepare lunch meals. The facility’s Food Distribution and Service policy, revised 10/2017, stated that food and nutrition services staff wear hair restraints, including beard restraints, so hair does not contact food. When interviewed at the time of the observation, the dietary manager stated they believed the policy meant a beard guard was required only if a person could pull and tug on their facial hair. On 05/06/26 at 11:50 a.m., the regional RN stated that staff with facial hair who are preparing or serving food must wear a beard guard and that staff know the policy.
Failure to Notify Family Member of UTI and Medication Change
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a resident's family member was notified of a medication change and a urinary tract infection for Resident #1. A facility policy stated that the facility promptly notifies the resident, attending physician, and resident representative of changes in the resident's medical, mental, or status. A progress note dated 04/21/26 showed new physician orders for Augmentin were received for a UTI, but the record did not show that the resident's family member was notified. During interview on 05/06/26, the family member stated they were not notified when the resident had a UTI and was prescribed a new medication. On 05/07/2026, an LPN and the ADON stated the family member should have been notified of the UTI and new medication, and that the notification should be documented in the medical record.
EBP Not Followed During Urinary Catheter Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) were followed during urinary catheter care for Resident #36, who had an indwelling urinary catheter and a diagnosis of neurogenic bladder. The resident’s annual assessment showed intact cognition, a brief interview for mental status score of 15, and dependence on staff for activities of daily living. The resident also had a physician’s order for urinary catheter care every shift, and the care plan stated the resident required EBP due to the presence of urogenital implants and a suprapubic catheter, with gown and gloves/PPE to be used during care as indicated. During observation on 05/06/26, an LPN performed urinary catheter care after washing hands, using hand gel, and applying gloves, but was not observed to wear a gown. The facility’s EBP policy stated that indwelling medical devices include urinary catheters and that EBP employ targeted gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities. The LPN later stated a gown should have been worn for the catheter care and said they forgot to put one on because EBP were not hanging on the resident’s door. The ADON/infection preventionist stated staff should have worn a gown and gloves to perform the resident’s urinary catheter care as part of EBP.
