Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Prairie House Living Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in resident refrigerators, leading to the presence of expired and unlabeled food items. Observations revealed open and expired food packages, moldy sandwiches, and unlabeled condiments. Interviews with staff, including a CNA, DM, LVN, RN, and ADON, showed a lack of clarity regarding responsibility for refrigerator maintenance. The facility's policies on food storage and labeling were not followed, putting residents at risk of foodborne illnesses.
A resident with severe cognitive impairment and an indwelling catheter was observed with an uncovered catheter bag visible from the hallway, compromising their dignity. Facility staff confirmed that catheter bags should be covered to prevent dignity issues, as per the facility's policy on resident rights.
The facility failed to document necessary fall prevention measures in the care plans of two residents, despite their identified fall risks. One resident's care plan lacked documentation of a scoop mattress, while another's did not include a fall mat, even though both were observed in use. Staff interviews highlighted the potential for inadequate care due to these omissions.
The facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care for two residents, as one did not have physician orders for oxygen therapy and the other lacked a specified oxygen rate in her orders. Observations showed both residents receiving oxygen without proper documentation, which was confirmed by nursing staff. The absence of specified orders was acknowledged as a medication error and a treatment issue, potentially impacting the residents' care.
Failure to Maintain Sanitary Conditions in Resident Refrigerators
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment for residents, specifically in maintaining the cleanliness and safety of resident refrigerators. During an observation, it was found that the resident refrigerator located by the main nurse's station contained expired and rotten food items. These included open packages of taquitos and chicken strips, frozen breakfast meals past their expiration date, and unlabeled ice cream bars and drinks. Additionally, the main refrigerator contained expired salad bags, moldy sandwiches, and unlabeled condiment containers. Interviews with various staff members, including a CNA, DM, LVN, RN, and ADON, revealed a lack of clarity and communication regarding the responsibility for maintaining the resident refrigerator. None of the staff members interviewed were aware of who was responsible for cleaning and organizing the refrigerator. The DM mentioned that the nursing staff was supposed to maintain the refrigerator, but this was not communicated effectively to the staff. The staff also acknowledged that expired and unlabeled foods could expose residents to foodborne illnesses. The facility's policies on food storage and labeling were not adhered to, as evidenced by the presence of expired and unlabeled food items in the refrigerators. The policy stated that the task of keeping personal foods stored safely and sanitarily was the responsibility of the facility staff, and all foods should be labeled and dated. However, the lack of enforcement and communication of these policies contributed to the deficiency, putting residents at risk of foodborne illnesses due to the unsanitary conditions of the refrigerators.
Uncovered Catheter Bag Compromises Resident Dignity
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident's catheter drainage bag was covered, which compromised the resident's dignity and quality of life. The resident, a male with severe cognitive impairment and an indwelling catheter, was observed with his catheter bag uncovered and visible from the hallway. This observation was made during catheter care performed by a CNA, and later when the resident was asleep in his room with the door open. Interviews with facility staff, including an LVN, CNA, and RN, confirmed that catheter bags should be covered at all times to prevent dignity issues. The facility's policy on resident rights emphasizes the importance of treating residents with respect and dignity, and staff are expected to be educated on these rights. Despite this policy, the uncovered catheter bag was noted, indicating a lapse in adherence to the facility's standards for resident care.
Failure to Document Necessary Fall Prevention Measures in Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop and implement comprehensive person-centered care plans for two residents, which did not address specific needs identified in their assessments. Resident #69, a cognitively intact male with a history of coordination issues and partial paralysis, was identified as a moderate fall risk. Despite observations of a contoured bed with raised edges, his care plan did not document the use of a scoop mattress, which was necessary to mitigate his fall risk. Similarly, Resident #12, a female with severe cognitive impairment and balance issues, was also identified as a moderate fall risk. Her care plan lacked documentation of a fall mat, even though observations confirmed its presence beside her bed. Interviews with facility staff, including an LVN and the ADON, revealed that the absence of these interventions in the care plans could lead to inadequate care for the residents. The ADON acknowledged the responsibility for ensuring that interventions like scoop mattresses and fall mats are documented in care plans. The facility's policy mandates regular reviews and updates of care plans to reflect residents' needs, but these were not adhered to, resulting in the deficiencies noted during the survey.
Deficiencies in Respiratory Care for Two Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate respiratory care for two residents, Resident #66 and Resident #68, as per professional standards. For Resident #66, the facility did not obtain physician orders for her oxygen therapy, despite her being on oxygen therapy as indicated in her care plan. Observations revealed that Resident #66 was using oxygen at 3.5 liters per minute (lpm) without a corresponding physician order, which was confirmed by the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) and the Director of Nursing (DON). This lack of orders was acknowledged as a medication error and a treatment issue that could negatively impact the resident's care. Resident #68's care was also deficient as her physician's order for oxygen therapy did not specify the rate at which the oxygen should be administered. Despite being on oxygen therapy for conditions such as emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the facility's records did not include the necessary liters per minute (lpm) specification. Observations showed that Resident #68 was receiving oxygen at 4.25 lpm, but without a physician's order specifying this rate, which was confirmed by the nursing staff and the DON. The absence of a specified oxygen rate in the orders was recognized as potentially harmful, especially for a resident with COPD, as it could lead to adverse effects such as increased CO2 levels. The facility's policies on oxygen administration and medication treatment documentation were not adhered to, as evidenced by the lack of verification of physician orders and the absence of specified oxygen flow rates. The nursing staff, including the DON and Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON), acknowledged the deficiencies and the potential negative impact on the residents' quality of care. The failure to follow established procedures for verifying and documenting oxygen therapy orders contributed to the deficiencies observed in the care of Residents #66 and #68.
