Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Hendrick Skilled Nursing Facility during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A CNA did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene at appropriate times while assisting a cognitively intact resident with transfer, foley peri care, incontinent care, and emptying the catheter bag. The resident had an indwelling urinary catheter after a recent hospital stay that included a UTI, and no EBP sign or gown was available outside the room. Interviews showed the DON lacked knowledge of EBP for residents with indwelling devices, and the facility policy required hand hygiene and glove changes between contaminated and clean tasks.
A resident with an ostomy bag was observed ambulating in the hallway without a privacy cover, potentially compromising her dignity. Despite the presence of other residents and visitors, staff did not cover the bag, as the resident had not requested it. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of awareness regarding the need for privacy, contrary to the facility's policy on dignified care.
A resident with a history of debility and septic discitis received wound care that did not adhere to infection control protocols. A PTA failed to clean the counter before setting up supplies and used a permeable towel instead of a non-permeable barrier. Additionally, a PT used the same scissors for both dirty and clean procedures without cleaning them, risking cross-contamination. Staff interviews revealed a lack of formal policy and understanding of proper infection control practices.
Hand Hygiene and Foley Care Not Followed During Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program for one of three staff reviewed for infection control procedures. During observation, CNA-A performed resident transfer, foley catheter care, incontinent care, and emptying of the catheter bag for a cognitively intact resident with an indwelling urinary catheter, but did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene at appropriate times during the care sequence. CNA-A used ABHR on entry, put on gloves, and then completed multiple tasks including assisting the resident to stand and transfer to bed, performing catheter peri care, changing the brief, emptying the catheter bag, and handling trash before removing gloves and sanitizing hands at the end of the encounter. Resident #10 was admitted after a hospital stay following heart catheterization and had a UTI during that hospitalization. The resident had an order for indwelling urinary catheter care every 12 hours and a care plan addressing potential for UTI and perineal care when incontinent. The resident’s MDS reflected a BIMS score of 13 and an indwelling catheter. During the observed care, there was no EBP sign outside the room and no gowns available on or around the door. CNA-A stated she thought she should have replaced her gloves during resident care and might need a refresher on hand hygiene during catheter care. Interviews with RN-B, the DON, and the IP reflected that staff were expected to sanitize hands and change gloves between tasks and after contact with urine, but the DON stated she had no knowledge of EBP regulation for individuals with indwelling devices and later stated there was no policy for EBP during care for residents with an indwelling device. The IP stated staff were trained on hand hygiene and that direct care staff completed a hand hygiene skills check-off, but there was no evidence CNA-A had been randomly selected by secret staff to observe hand hygiene skill. The facility policy on handwashing and glove use required hand hygiene before and after patient contact, after contact with body fluids, when moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site, after removing gloves, and changing gloves between procedures with potential cross contamination such as foley care.
Failure to Ensure Privacy for Resident with Ostomy Bag
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to treat a resident with respect and dignity by not ensuring her ostomy drainage bag was covered with a privacy bag while she was performing physical therapy in the hallway. The resident, a cognitively intact female with an incarcerated hernia, was observed ambulating with her ostomy bag exposed, which could potentially lead to embarrassment and reduced self-esteem. Despite the presence of other residents and visitors, the staff did not take measures to cover the bag, as the resident had not requested it. Interviews with the staff, including a PTA, RN, and the DON, revealed a lack of awareness and understanding of the need for privacy regarding the resident's ostomy bag. The staff indicated that they did not consider it a privacy issue unless the resident specifically requested a cover. The facility's policy on patient rights emphasizes dignified and respectful care, but the staff did not proactively ensure the resident's privacy in this instance.
Inadequate Infection Control During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by the improper handling of wound care for a resident. During an observation, it was noted that a physical therapy assistant (PTA B) did not clean the counter before setting up a barrier for wound care supplies, and used a permeable towel instead of a non-permeable barrier. Additionally, the physical therapist (PT A) did not clean scissors between using them for a dirty procedure and a clean procedure, leading to potential cross-contamination. PT A used the same scissors to cut both the dirty and clean dressings for the resident's wound care. The resident involved was an elderly male with a history of debility and septic discitis of the thoracic region, who was still within his MDS Assessment period. The resident's care plan included interventions to prevent infection, such as teaching handwashing and monitoring for signs of infection. However, the facility's infection control practices were not followed, as evidenced by the lack of proper hand hygiene and the use of unclean instruments. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of formal policy and understanding regarding the use of non-permeable barriers and the cleaning of instruments during wound care.
