Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Dresher Hill Health And Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Improper Food Storage and Unsanitary Dietary and Pantry Conditions: Surveyors found expired and open food items without dates in the dietary area, along with dirty, dusty, and debris-covered equipment and surfaces including the griddle, stove, slicer, steam table, and prep tables. In both the first- and second-floor pantries, the refrigerators had ice buildup and staining, the microwaves used to reheat resident food had food splatter and debris, and the ice scoop was stored on a dusty shelf instead of in its holder.
Unsafe, Unsanitary, and Uncomfortable Environment: Surveyors observed multiple cleanliness and maintenance issues on two nursing units, including dried brown substances on a tube feeding pole, bedside table, and privacy curtain, a displaced floor tile, dirty wheels with hair and debris on a mechanical lift and sit-to-stand lift, a shower chair with built-up brown and pink substance, heavy dust on the shower room exhaust fan, and dust, crumbs, lint, and other debris behind equipment and on fall mats.
A resident with dementia, ESRD, and muscle weakness was fully dependent on staff for showering and bathing. While an NA was assisting the resident with a shower, the NA left the shower room with no other staff present, and the resident slipped out of the shower chair onto the floor. The DON and Administrator confirmed that a staff member should have remained in the shower room throughout the shower.
Failure to use enhanced barrier precautions and PPE during high-contact care was observed for two residents. One resident had paraplegia, a chronic stage 4 pressure ulcer, and a reopened abscess, and an NA entered the room without a gown before changing briefs. Another resident had TBI, quadriplegia, neurogenic bladder, and gastronomy status with a suprapubic catheter and enteral feeding tube, and a PT performed leg stretches without a gown. The DON confirmed staff did not follow the facility infection control policy.
The facility failed to maintain its sprinkler systems, affecting the entire facility. A hydrostatic test revealed a leak in the fire department connection piping, with parts on order for repair. This deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director.
Improper Food Storage and Unsanitary Dietary and Pantry Conditions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly store food and maintain sanitary conditions in the dietary department and on two nursing units. During observations in the dietary department, surveyors found expired and improperly stored items in dry storage and on the cook’s prep table, including a bottle of Realemon Juice past its best buy date, lemon extract past its best by date, a box of food dye past its expiration date, and dirty measuring spoons in the same container. In the walk-in freezer, open boxes of seafood shrimp and gluten free breaded mini shrimp bags were present with no open date or expiration date. Surveyors also observed thick dry discolored splatter on the griddle, stove, oven doors, and knobs, dust on the shelf over the cooking surface, food debris and crumbs on the flat griddle and front scrap disposal area, charred debris and white powdery dust on the stove top, crumbs and stickiness on the meat slicer table, debris on the meat slicer, dust on the steamer, crumbs and debris on the steam table and prep table bottom shelf, a dried slice of bread on the cook’s prep table lower shelf, thick dust and debris on the wall shelf holding spices, and dust and dirt on the lower shelf of the food prep table next to the dish area. In the first floor pantry, surveyors observed ice built up in the refrigerator freezer, dried discolored staining and debris on the refrigerator floor, and thick food splatter with crumbs and debris in the microwave used to reheat resident food. In the second floor pantry, surveyors observed ice built up in the refrigerator freezer, dried liquid staining and debris on the refrigerator floor, and food splatter with crumbs and debris in the microwave used to reheat resident food. Surveyors also observed the ice scoop on a dusty lower shelf of the rolling table for the ice cooler instead of in the attached scoop pocket, and a stained bath blanket in the cabinet below the sink. The DON and a nurse aide confirmed the microwaves were used to reheat resident food.
Unsafe, Unsanitary, and Uncomfortable Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment on two of four nursing units, including the 1st floor low side and the 2nd floor high side. During observations throughout the facility, surveyors found a tube feeding pole in one room with a dried brown substance on it, a displaced floor tile by bed 1 in another room, and a mechanical lift with dirty wheels containing knotted/intertwined thick hair and debris. A sit-to-stand lift was also observed with dirty wheels containing knotted/intertwined thick hair and debris, along with dirt and debris on the foot boards. In the shower area, the large shower chair back had a built-up brown and pink substance, and the shower room ceiling exhaust fan had heavy dust. Additional observations included a dried brown substance on a tube feeding pole, bedside table, and privacy curtain in one room, dust, debris, a hair ball, and a dried brown substance behind the oxygen concentrator and fall mat on the left side of the bed, and a privacy curtain stained with a dark yellow substance with dust, crumbs, and lint on the left fall mat in another room.
Failure to Maintain Supervision During Shower Assistance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide adequate supervision to prevent a fall for one resident who had diagnoses including dementia, end stage renal disease, and muscle weakness. The resident’s MDS assessment indicated cognitive impairment and full dependence on staff for assistance getting in and out of the shower and bathing, and the care plan identified mobility problems and a need for assistance with bathing. Facility documentation showed that while the resident was being assisted with a shower by a nurse aide, the aide left the shower room with no other staff present, and during that time the resident slipped out of the shower chair onto the floor. The DON and Administrator later confirmed that a staff member should have remained in the shower room throughout the shower.
Failure to Use Enhanced Barrier Precautions and PPE
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement enhanced barrier precautions and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for two sampled residents during high-contact care activities. Facility policy stated that enhanced barrier precautions were to be used for any high-risk resident with a wound or indwelling device during care such as wound care, hygiene, and changing briefs and linens, with gowns and gloves required during these activities. Resident 10 had diagnoses including paraplegia and a pressure ulcer of the lower back region related to a recurrent abscess. The MDS showed a chronic left ischial stage four pressure ulcer and dependence on toileting and personal hygiene, and the wound nurse noted reopening of the abscess. During observation, a nurse aide entered the resident’s room without a protective gown before changing briefs. Resident 53 had diagnoses including traumatic brain injury, quadriplegia, neurogenic bladder, and gastronomy status, and required a suprapubic catheter and an enteral feeding tube. During observation, a physical therapist performed leg stretches on the resident without wearing a protective gown. The DON later confirmed that staff did not follow the facility infection control policy.
Sprinkler System Maintenance Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain its sprinkler systems, which affected the entire facility. During a document review and interview conducted on December 23, 2024, it was found that the Annual Sprinkler Report dated October 24, 2024, identified a deficiency. Specifically, a hydrostatic test revealed a leak in the fire department connection piping. The necessary parts for repair were on order, but the repairs had not yet been completed. This deficiency was confirmed during an exit interview with the Administrator and Maintenance Director.
