Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Myrtle Beach Manor during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with chronic respiratory conditions did not receive supplemental oxygen at the physician-ordered flow rate. Observations showed the oxygen concentrator was set below the prescribed 3 L/min on multiple occasions, and staff interviews confirmed the settings did not match the order, resulting in a failure to follow facility policy for respiratory care.
Staff did not follow infection control protocols for two residents: one requiring Enhanced Barrier Precautions due to MDRO colonization, where staff provided incontinence care wearing only gloves and not gowns as required, and another receiving oxygen therapy, where a CNA reapplied oxygen tubing that had fallen on the floor without replacing it. These actions were contrary to facility policy and confirmed by interviews with staff and leadership.
The facility failed to properly label and seal food, and maintain kitchen cleanliness, potentially affecting all 27 residents receiving meals. Observations revealed unattended kitchen areas with soiled sinks, uncovered trash bins, and improperly stored leftovers. The facility lacked a Dietary Manager, and staff confirmed the issues. Interviews indicated unawareness of the kitchen's condition, with plans to hire a new manager.
A resident with moderately impaired cognition did not receive adequate privacy during medication administration. An RN administered Lidocaine patches without closing the door or pulling the privacy curtain, exposing the resident's back and brief. The facility's leadership acknowledged this as a dignity issue.
A facility failed to provide written notification to a resident, their representative, and the Ombudsman during a hospital transfer. The resident, with severely impaired cognition, was transferred due to an elevated temperature without written notice, contrary to the facility's policy. The Administrator confirmed that only Bed Hold documentation was provided and that the Ombudsman had not been notified since early 2024.
A resident with chronic respiratory issues was found with their oxygen turned off, despite orders for continuous flow and regular checks. The DON confirmed the oxygen should have been on, and previous reports of similar issues had been made by the resident's family.
A resident with a history of heart conditions was hospitalized due to a gastrointestinal bleed after the facility failed to notify the attending physician of elevated PT/INR lab values. Despite facility policies requiring prompt notification of significant changes, the physician was not informed, and the resident continued receiving Coumadin, leading to the adverse event. Interviews with staff confirmed the lack of communication and documentation regarding the abnormal lab results.
A resident with a history of heart conditions was admitted with an INR of 2.7. Despite orders to hold Coumadin and monitor PT/INR levels, the facility failed to document compliance, resulting in continued administration of Coumadin. Communication breakdowns and documentation issues led to the resident experiencing a gastrointestinal bleed and requiring hospitalization.
Failure to Administer Oxygen at Ordered Flow Rate
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that oxygen was administered at the physician-ordered flow rate for one resident with a history of chronic respiratory conditions, including COPD and chronic respiratory failure. The resident was admitted with an order for oxygen to be provided at 3 liters per minute (L/min) via nasal cannula continuously. However, observations revealed that the oxygen concentrator was set at 2 L/min on one occasion and at 2.5 L/min on another, both below the prescribed rate. Staff interviews confirmed that the oxygen should have been set at 3 L/min, and the Director of Nursing stated that nurses were responsible for verifying that oxygen was administered at the ordered flow rate. The deficiency was further evidenced by direct observation of staff actions, including a CNA placing the oxygen cannula on the resident and the concentrator being set incorrectly, as well as a registered nurse acknowledging the discrepancy between the order and the actual setting. Facility policy required oxygen to be administered at the prescribed flow rate, but this was not followed for the resident in question, resulting in a failure to provide safe and appropriate respiratory care as ordered.
Failure to Follow Infection Control Protocols for Enhanced Barrier Precautions and Oxygen Equipment
Penalty
Summary
Staff failed to adhere to infection prevention and control standards for two residents requiring enhanced precautions and respiratory care. For one resident with a history of extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) resistance and colonization with a multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO), staff did not follow the facility's Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) policy. The policy required staff to wear both gowns and gloves during high-contact care activities such as incontinence care. However, during an observed episode of incontinence care, two certified nursing assistants (CNAs) entered the resident's room, wore gloves but did not don gowns, despite clear signage and care plan instructions indicating the need for full EBP. Interviews with the CNAs, a private sitter, an LPN, the Director of Nursing (DON), and the Executive Director confirmed that staff were aware of the requirement but failed to comply during the observed care. In a separate incident involving another resident with chronic respiratory failure and COPD, staff did not properly handle and store oxygen equipment. The facility's policy required oxygen tubing to be changed if contaminated and to be stored safely when not in use. During observation, the resident's oxygen tubing and nasal cannula were found on the floor. A CNA subsequently picked up the tubing from the floor and reapplied it to the resident without replacing it. Interviews with the CNA, an LPN, the DON, and the Executive Director confirmed that the tubing should have been considered contaminated and replaced before use, and that proper storage (such as using a bag) was not implemented. Both deficiencies were directly observed and confirmed through staff interviews and review of facility policies and care plans. The failures involved not following established infection control protocols for residents at increased risk of infection, specifically regarding the use of PPE during high-contact care and the handling of respiratory equipment.
Deficient Food Storage and Kitchen Cleanliness
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper food labeling and sealing, as well as maintaining cleanliness in the kitchen, which could potentially lead to foodborne illnesses affecting all 27 residents receiving meals from the facility's kitchen. During an observation, it was noted that the kitchen was unattended, and various areas were found to be unclean. The handwashing sink was soiled with dried debris, and the dishwashing area had an uncovered trash bin with soiled dishes next to clean ones. The steam table shelves were littered with old food debris, and a power supply was covered in dried liquid. The three-compartment sink was soiled with dried debris and food particles, and the fryer had very dark oil and food particles on it and the floor. The range was covered in grease and food particles, and the food preparation area had a cutting board with uncooked ground beef pieces on the counter. Further inspection of the walk-in refrigerators revealed improperly stored leftovers that were not dated, labeled, or sealed, including discolored and odorous sliced meats, a bag of squash, and a container of a white creamy substance. Open condiment bottles lacked opening dates, and a container labeled mechanical pork chops had a loose-fitting plastic wrap. The refrigerators' floors and under-shelf areas were soiled with old food and trash. The facility lacked a Dietary Manager at the time, and the staff confirmed the observations. Interviews with the Administrator, Former Administrator, and Regional Director of Operations revealed they were unaware of the kitchen's condition and were in the process of hiring a new Dietary Manager. The Registered Dietitian was aware of the kitchen's status and had discussed cleanliness and food labeling with the staff, but the inservice/education sheets were not provided by the survey's exit.
Failure to Ensure Resident Privacy During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the privacy and dignity of a resident during medication administration, which led to a deficiency. The incident involved a resident with moderately impaired cognition, as indicated by a BIMS score of nine out of 15. The resident had a physician's order for a Lidocaine 4% patch to be applied daily to the lower right back. During an observation, a registered nurse administered the medication without closing the door or pulling the privacy curtain, exposing the resident's back and a portion of her brief. This occurred while three staff members walked down the hall, potentially seeing into the room. Interviews with the RN, the Director of Nursing, and the Administrator confirmed the failure to provide privacy. The RN admitted to not closing the door or pulling the curtain, believing the resident was not visible from the hallway. The Director of Nursing and the Administrator both stated that privacy should have been ensured by closing the door or pulling the curtain, especially when a resident's clothing is adjusted, exposing undergarments. The lack of privacy was acknowledged as a dignity issue by the facility's leadership.
Failure to Provide Written Transfer Notification
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide written notification to a resident, their representative, and the Ombudsman when initiating a transfer to a hospital. This deficiency was identified during a review of the facility's records and policies, specifically concerning a resident with severely impaired cognition, as indicated by a Brief Interview for Mental Status (BIMS) score of three out of 15. The resident was transferred to the hospital due to an elevated temperature, but there was no evidence in the electronic medical record (EMR) that a written transfer notification was provided to the resident, their representative, or the Ombudsman. During an interview, the facility's Administrator confirmed that the only documentation provided during a transfer was the Bed Hold documentation, and that resident representatives were notified via telephone. The Administrator also acknowledged that the facility had not been notifying the Ombudsman's office of transfers since January 2024. This lack of written notification and communication with the Ombudsman represents a failure to adhere to the facility's Transfer/Discharge Policy, which requires written notification in a language and manner understood by the resident and their representative.
Failure to Ensure Continuous Oxygen Flow for Resident
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's oxygen was turned on and flowing as required. The resident, who was admitted with chronic respiratory failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, had physician orders for continuous oxygen flow at 2 liters per minute. Additionally, there was an order for nurses to check every two hours to ensure the oxygen was on and functioning. However, during an observation, the resident was found asleep in a wheelchair with the oxygen tank turned off, despite the nasal cannula being in place. The Director of Nurses confirmed that the oxygen should have been on and was unsure why it was turned off. Interviews revealed that the resident's representative had previously reported instances of the oxygen being off to the head nurse. The Director of Nurses acknowledged being informed of these issues in the past and had obtained an order in April for nurses to check the oxygen every two hours. Despite these measures, the deficiency occurred, indicating a failure in adhering to the established protocol for monitoring and maintaining the resident's oxygen therapy.
Failure to Notify Physician of Elevated Lab Values Leads to Hospitalization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify a resident's attending physician of elevated lab values, which resulted in the resident being hospitalized. The facility's policy requires prompt notification of the resident, physician, and representative when there is a significant change in the resident's condition or when treatment needs to be altered. In this case, the resident was admitted with a history of aortic valve replacement, atrial fibrillation, and atherosclerotic heart disease, and was on Coumadin, an anticoagulant. The resident's PT/INR levels were elevated, indicating a high risk, but there was no documentation that the physician was informed, leading to the continuation of the medication and a subsequent gastrointestinal bleed. Interviews with facility staff revealed a lack of communication and documentation regarding the abnormal lab results. The attending physician stated that they were not informed of the lab results, which led to the resident's adverse event. The Director of Nursing and nursing staff acknowledged that the physician should have been notified of the abnormal labs in a timely manner. Despite the facility's policy and protocol for lab and diagnostic tests, the necessary steps to communicate critical lab results to the physician were not followed, resulting in the resident's hospitalization.
Failure to Manage Anticoagulant Therapy Leads to Hospitalization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow best practices and procedures in managing a resident's anticoagulant therapy, leading to a hospital stay. The resident, who had a history of aortic valve replacement, atrial fibrillation, and atherosclerotic heart disease, was admitted with an INR of 2.7. Despite physician orders to hold Coumadin and monitor PT/INR levels daily, the facility did not document the execution of these orders. The resident continued to receive Coumadin from admission until discharge to the hospital, despite elevated PT/INR levels indicating a high risk of bleeding. Interviews revealed a breakdown in communication and documentation. The Charge Nurse claimed to have received a verbal order from the physician to restart Coumadin, which the physician later denied giving. The Director of Nursing at the time noted issues with lab result access due to a non-functional fax machine, which contributed to the failure to notify the physician of abnormal lab results. Consequently, the resident experienced a gastrointestinal bleed and required hospitalization.
