Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Pecan Creek Healthcare Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that food items in the kitchen's refrigerator and freezer were not consistently labeled or dated according to professional standards, with several items missing expiration dates or found past their expiration. Staff interviews confirmed that daily checks were intended but not always effective, and the facility's food storage policy was not followed, resulting in improper food storage practices.
A resident with multiple wounds and indwelling devices did not receive proper Enhanced Barrier Precautions during wound care, as a contracted wound care nurse wore gloves but failed to don a gown, despite facility policy and care plan requirements for both gown and glove use during high-contact care activities.
Failure to Properly Label, Date, and Store Food Items in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility failed to store food in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. During inspection of the walk-in refrigerator and freezer, multiple food items were found either not labeled or not dated correctly, and several items were past their expiration dates. Specific examples included refrigerated cornbread, tortillas, lunch meat, scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, and coleslaw without expiration dates, as well as tamale pie and gelatine that were past their labeled expiration dates. In the freezer, items such as beef and chili burritos, chicken breast fillets, hush puppies, chicken pieces, Salisbury steak, and corn dogs were found with missing or incomplete expiration dates, and some lacked the year entirely. Interviews with dietary staff and management confirmed that the kitchen was supposed to be checked daily for out-of-date products, and that items should be labeled with the product name, the date placed in storage, and the expiration date. Staff acknowledged that sometimes items were missed during checks, and that improper labeling could result in expired food being served. Review of the facility's food storage policy indicated that all foods should be dated and rotated on a first in/first out basis, and that frozen products should be labeled with a description, date wrapped, and placed in the freezer. The observed practices did not align with these policies.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions During Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective infection prevention and control program by not ensuring that Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) were implemented during wound care for a resident. Observation revealed that, although signage and personal protective equipment (PPE) were available outside the resident's room, the contracted wound care nurse only donned gloves and did not wear a gown while performing wound care. The facility's policy required both gown and glove use during high-contact resident care activities, such as wound care, for residents with wounds or indwelling medical devices. The resident involved was an older woman with a history of chronic embolism, thrombosis, an indwelling urinary catheter, a colostomy, multiple stage 2 pressure ulcers, unstageable pressure injuries, and a venous/arterial ulcer. Her care plan specifically indicated the need for EBP, including the use of gowns and gloves during wound care. Despite these documented requirements and the presence of appropriate signage and supplies, the contracted wound care nurse did not follow the established protocol during the observed wound care procedure.
