Health deficiencies cited at Presbyterian Communities Of South Carolina-summerv during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Food Storage, Sanitation, and Hair Restraint Deficiencies: The facility failed to keep food stored and handled under sanitary conditions in the main kitchen and satellite kitchen. Surveyors found multiple unlabeled and expired food items, spoiled produce, dirty dish water used for cleaning, a sanitizer bucket with plain water only, a hood covered with brown matter, uncovered trash cans with gnats, and staff in the kitchen without beard covers despite policy requiring hair restraints for food employees.
A resident with a feeding tube and catheter was observed receiving transfer and bed care without the required gown and gloves for EBP, and there was no door or room signage to alert staff or visitors. In a separate observation, an LPN handled oral tablets with bare hands while dispensing meds from punch cards instead of placing them directly into the med cup, which the DON and ED stated was not the expected practice.

Summary
The facility failed to ensure food was stored, prepared, and served under sanitary conditions in the main kitchen and satellite kitchen. Review of the facility policy showed requirements for food labeling, dating, proper storage, and hair restraints for food employees. During observation of the main kitchen, multiple items were found unlabeled or expired in refrigerators, including opened bags of green beans, shredded cabbage, almonds, cranberries, and bread, as well as raw stew beef, opened bacon, and food items past expiration dates such as whipped topping, crabmeat patties mix, roast beef, and tortilla wraps. Spoiled produce was also observed, including celery, eggplants, and cucumbers with brown spots and white fuzz. In the main kitchen, the Executive Chef stated he thought beard covers depended on beard length and that a low-cut beard did not require a cover. During a later observation, the Executive Chef, the Director of Culinary Services, and three male staff members were observed without beard covers while in the kitchen. When questioned, the Director of Culinary Services stated he was not in production so it was not required, and did not respond when asked about staff in production wearing beard covers. After this exchange, the Executive Chef retrieved a beard cover, put it on, and returned to food preparation. In the satellite kitchen, the 3-compartment sink contained dirty dish water that was a taut color, without visible soap, and had food particles floating in it. The Kitchen [NAME] was observed reaching into the dirty dish water to grab a dish towel and then using plain water to clean kitchen surfaces. The sanitizer bucket contained plain water with no sanitizer present. Additional observations included a stove hood covered with brown matter, two uncovered trash cans with gnats present, and multiple unlabeled or expired food items, including cake slices, shredded cheese, sausage links, raw thawed chicken breast, bacon, ground beef, vegetable beef soup, ham, pimento cheese, spinach, cauliflower, spicy mustard, frozen egg rolls, and produce with brown spots and white fuzz.

Summary
Enhanced Barrier Precautions were not followed for a resident with a feeding tube and catheter who was admitted with diagnoses including stroke. During an observation, a CNA assisted the resident from a wheelchair to the bed without wearing gloves or a gown. The CNA pushed the wheelchair close to the bed, helped the resident stand, lowered him onto the bed with bare hands, lifted both legs with ungloved hands, and then placed the sheet and bedspread over him with bare hands. There was no PPE posted outside the room and no signage in the room to alert staff or visitors to the enhanced barrier precautions. During interview, the CNA confirmed she had not worn the required PPE. She and the surveyor found a plastic bag of disposable gowns on the back of the door, but no gloves, and the CNA stated that the black star outside the door was the alert for enhanced barrier precautions. The ICP stated the facility does not use signage on the door or in resident rooms, relies on the black star by the resident’s name, keeps gowns in a plastic bag on the back of the door, and keeps gloves in the bathroom. She also stated families are informed at care plan conferences, and agreed that not all visitors are family. The facility also failed to ensure oral medications were not touched with bare hands. During a medication pass, an LPN was observed repeatedly pushing tablets from punch cards into the palm of her bare hand and then transferring the tablets from her hand into a medication cup for a resident with diagnoses including UTI, HTN, muscle weakness, heart failure, dementia, and mood disorder. The LPN stated she should have been punching the medications directly into the medication cup and later said this would reduce medication errors. The DON and ED both stated that nurses are expected to pop medications directly into the cup and not touch them with bare hands.
