Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Still Hopes Episcopal Retirement Community during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Expired medications, including a bottle of Tramadol, were found stored in a medication cart, and pre-poured, unlabeled topical creams were left in the cart and on top of it. An RN stated the creams were for two residents who were unavailable at the time, and an LPN confirmed the expired medication should not have been present. Facility policy requires expired medications to be removed and prohibits leaving medications pre-poured and unlabeled in carts.
A nurse failed to properly sanitize a blood glucometer and use a clean barrier during medication administration for a resident with type 2 diabetes. The nurse used an alcohol prep pad instead of the facility-approved Sani-Wipe disinfectant wipes, contrary to the facility's infection control policy. The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed the correct procedures were not followed.
Expired and Unlabeled Medications Improperly Stored in Medication Carts
Penalty
Summary
Facility staff failed to ensure expired medications were removed from active medication storage and that all medications were stored safely and in accordance with facility policy. During an observation of one medication cart, a bottle of Tramadol that had expired in May 2024 was found in the narcotic drawer. A Licensed Practical Nurse confirmed that the expired medication should not have been present in the cart and indicated it should have been returned to the resident's spouse. Additionally, the facility's policy requires that expiration dates be checked prior to administration and that expired medications be removed and disposed of. Further observations revealed that medications were left pre-poured and unlabeled in the top drawer of a medication cart, as well as on top of the cart. A Registered Nurse explained that these were topical creams intended for two residents, but acknowledged that the medications had been left in the cart because one resident was in the bathroom and the other was in therapy. The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that medications should not be poured and left in the medication cart, and that expired medications should be removed and disposed of. These findings indicate a failure to follow established policies for medication storage and labeling.
Infection Control Deficiency During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper infection control procedures during medication administration for one resident. Specifically, a nurse did not properly sanitize the blood glucometer before and after use and did not use a clean barrier when placing the glucometer on an un-sanitized surface in the resident's room. The nurse used an alcohol prep pad instead of the facility-approved Sani-Wipe disinfectant wipes, which are required to properly disinfect the glucometer to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens. This was observed during the administration of medication and blood glucose testing for a resident with type 2 diabetes, who was moderately cognitively impaired. During an interview, the nurse admitted to using alcohol prep pads for sanitization and was unaware of the requirement to use a clean barrier. The Assistant Director of Nursing confirmed that the facility's policy mandates the use of Sani-Wipe disinfectant wipes and a clean barrier when placing the glucometer on any un-sanitized surface. The ADON also confirmed that the glucometer should be allowed to dry for two minutes as per the product instructions to ensure all pathogens are eliminated. The deficiency was identified during a survey that included interviews, observations, and record reviews of the resident's medical records and facility policies.
