Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Willow Ridge Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to keep food prep equipment clean when a can opener was observed with a black, sticky buildup and brown, speckled residue on the blade and surrounding surface. The CDM confirmed the can opener was dirty and later observed the same residue again, confirming the blade would be changed.
Kitchen Handwash Sink Hot Water Pedal Inoperable: The kitchen handwash sink did not dispense hot water through normal foot pedal operation, and staff had to manually open and close the shutoff valve below the sink to access hot water. The CDM stated the hot water pedal had been inoperable since new flooring was installed, and the issue was later reported to the Administrator and MD by email. Observations confirmed the sink continued to only dispense cold water through the pedals.
Failure to Document Medication Administration: A resident admitted with UTI, DM2, Afib, and HTN had orders for Ciprofloxacin HCI and Ertapenem Sodium for UTI, but the MAR did not document both medications as administered at the scheduled time. RN and DON both confirmed the missing documentation, and the DON stated nurses were expected to follow the 5 rights of medication administration and document meds when given.
Dirty Can Opener in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the cleanliness of food preparation equipment, specifically the can opener in the kitchen. Review of the facility policy titled Equipment stated that all foodservice equipment will be clean, sanitary, and in proper working order, and that all food contact equipment will be cleaned and sanitized after every use. During an observation of the kitchen, the can opener was found with a buildup of a black, sticky substance on the blade and a brown, speckled substance on both the blade and surrounding surface. The Certified Dietary Manager confirmed the can opener was dirty and stated the can opener is to be cleaned after every use and the blade is to be changed quarterly or as needed. On a later observation, the can opener again had a brown, speckled substance on the blade and surrounding surface, and the CDM confirmed the condition and stated the blade would be changed.
Kitchen Handwash Sink Hot Water Pedal Inoperable
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure essential kitchen equipment was maintained in safe operating condition when the handwash sink in the kitchen did not dispense hot water through normal foot pedal operation. During an observation on 7/13/2026 at 10:15 AM, the sink only dispensed cold water through the foot pedals, and hot water was available only when the shutoff valve below the sink was manually opened. The Certified Dietary Manager stated that employees had to reach below the sink to manually open the hot water valve before washing their hands and reach below the sink again to manually close it after washing their hands. The facility policy titled Equipment stated that all foodservice equipment would be clean, sanitary, and in proper working order, and that the Dining Services Director would submit maintenance or repair requests as needed. An email sent to the Administrator and Maintenance Director on 7/13/2026 at 1:22 PM identified the issue as the hand wash sink hot water pedal not working. A later observation on 7/15/2026 at 2:20 PM again found the sink only dispensed cold water through the foot pedals, with hot water available only by manually opening the shutoff valve. The Maintenance Director confirmed he first received the maintenance request on 7/13/2026, and the Certified Dietary Manager stated the hot water pedal had been inoperable since the new flooring was installed in the kitchen. The Administrator stated the kitchen flooring installation was completed on 5/3/2026.
Failure to Document Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure medications were documented as administered for one resident reviewed for medication administration. Resident #26 was admitted with diagnoses including urinary tract infection, type 2 diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension, and a 5-day MDS assessment showed a BIMS score of 13, indicating the resident was cognitively intact. The facility policy titled NSG306 Medication Errors stated that medication errors include medication omission and that nurses should verify right documentation. Review of Resident #26’s order summary showed orders for Ciprofloxacin HCI 500 mg by mouth every 12 hours for 7 days and Ertapenem Sodium 1 gram injection once daily for 7 days, both starting 7/6/2026 for UTI. During record review and interview, RN A confirmed that the MAR did not document administration of Ciprofloxacin HCI 500 mg and Ertapenem Sodium 1 gram on 7/9/2026 at 9 PM. The DON later reviewed the MAR and also confirmed that both medications had not been documented as administered at that time, and stated her expectation was that nurses follow the 5 rights of medication administration and document medications when administered.
