Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Willow Branch Health And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors identified unsanitary conditions in the kitchen, including buildup on the ice machine, damaged ceilings, and dirty areas beneath sinks, as well as a dietary aide working in food preparation without a required facial hair covering. These deficiencies were confirmed by the CDM and Maintenance Director and had the potential to impact all residents.
Multiple residents with significant medical conditions were found living in rooms with damaged doors, makeshift repairs, peeling paint, broken sheetrock, and detached privacy curtains. Residents and staff confirmed that these conditions did not provide a clean, comfortable, or homelike environment.
A resident with a history of hip and compression fractures and diabetes was admitted with a care plan indicating 'Full Code' status, but later documentation and physician orders showed a preference for DNR and comfort measures only. The care plan was not updated to reflect this change, as confirmed by the Care Plan Coordinator.
A prefilled, unopened insulin glargine pen labeled for refrigeration was found stored on a medication cart instead of in a refrigerator. An LPN was unable to confirm when the insulin was removed from refrigeration, and the DON confirmed the improper storage, which was not in accordance with facility policy or manufacturer recommendations for a resident with diabetes.
A facility failed to include sign language as a language used by a resident with nonspeaking deafness and severe cognitive impairment in its facility-wide assessment. Staff and observations confirmed that sign language and hand gestures were the primary communication methods for this resident, but the assessment only listed English. The DON and Administrator acknowledged the omission.
Unsanitary Kitchen Conditions and Staff Attire Noncompliance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the kitchen equipment and environment in a sanitary condition and did not ensure that dietary staff adhered to proper attire standards. Observations revealed a thick, crusty yellowish-brown substance on the ice machine's filter housing, cracked and damaged ceiling areas above the ice machine with a black substance present, and multiple areas of brown discoloration and chipped paint on the dish room ceiling. Additional findings included a thick, black dirt-like substance on the baseboards and floor beneath the 3-compartment sink, as well as missing and chipped wall panels in the dry storage area, which had a history of water leaks. The Maintenance Director confirmed that these areas were unsanitary and required cleaning and repairs. Furthermore, a dietary aide was observed working in the food preparation and cooking areas without a facial hair covering, despite having facial hair. The Certified Dietary Manager confirmed that all hair, including facial hair, should be covered while working in the kitchen, in accordance with facility policy. These lapses in sanitation and staff attire had the potential to affect all residents in the facility.
Failure to Maintain a Homelike and Well-Kept Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a comfortable, well-kept, and homelike environment for four residents across all hallways, as evidenced by observations, interviews, and record reviews. Residents reported and surveyors observed issues such as dirty, scuffed, and damaged bedroom doors, with makeshift repairs using tape and rubber bands to secure kick plates and door handles. In one case, a privacy curtain was not moveable due to a detached track. Residents compared these conditions unfavorably to their own homes, stating that such repairs and damage would not be acceptable in their personal living environments. Additional deficiencies included broken sheetrock, peeling baseboards, and bubbled or peeling paint in resident rooms and bathrooms. Deep gouges in walls and falling sheetrock were also noted. These environmental issues were confirmed by both the facility's Administrator and Maintenance Director during a facility tour. The affected residents had varying degrees of cognitive impairment and medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease, hypertension, COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, congestive heart failure, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, morbid obesity, epilepsy, muscle weakness, and mood disturbance.
Failure to Update Care Plan to Reflect Resident's DNR Status
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to update a resident's comprehensive care plan to accurately reflect the resident's current code status. The resident, who was cognitively intact and had diagnoses including hip fracture, compression fracture, and diabetes, was admitted with a care plan indicating 'Full Code' status, meaning CPR would be performed if needed. However, subsequent documentation, including a POST form and a physician's order, indicated the resident's preference for 'Do Not Resuscitate' (DNR) and comfort measures only. Despite these updated directives, the care plan was not revised to reflect the resident's DNR status. This discrepancy was confirmed during an interview with the Care Plan Coordinator.
Failure to Refrigerate Unopened Insulin Pen as Required
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when a prefilled, unopened insulin glargine syringe intended for a resident with dementia, diabetes, and obesity was not stored according to manufacturer recommendations and facility policy. The insulin pen, which was labeled to be refrigerated until opened, was found stored in a disposable plastic bag on a medication cart rather than in a refrigerator. The medication had been delivered seven days prior and was available for resident use, but staff could not confirm when it had been removed from refrigeration. During interviews, the LPN responsible for the medication cart acknowledged not knowing when the insulin was removed from refrigeration and confirmed it had not been used or opened. The DON also confirmed the failure to store the insulin pen appropriately. Facility policy required all medications to be stored according to manufacturer recommendations, including refrigeration for those that require it, but this was not followed in this instance.
Failure to Accurately Document Resident Communication Needs in Facility Assessment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately document all languages used by residents in its facility-wide assessment, specifically omitting sign language as a primary communication method for one resident. The facility's policy requires the assessment to address the care needs of the resident population, including pertinent facts such as languages used. However, the most recent facility assessment listed only English as the language used by all residents, despite evidence to the contrary. A resident with diagnoses including developmental disorder of speech and language, nonspeaking deafness, and severe cognitive impairment was observed and reported to use sign language and personalized hand gestures as her primary means of communication. Multiple staff members, including an LPN and a CNA, confirmed that sign language and gestures were used to communicate with the resident, as she was unable to use written communication tools like a dry erase board. Observations further confirmed the use of sign language between the resident and staff, and the DON and Administrator acknowledged that sign language was the resident's primary communication method, which was not reflected in the facility assessment.
