Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at St. Joseph's Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with quadriplegia, anxiety, and depression had his mail opened without permission by an LVNA, who said she believed she needed to check for medication inside. The resident stated the RN delivered the already-opened mail and that he felt disrespected. The ADMN and AADMN confirmed the action violated resident rights policy.
Hot beverage temperatures exceeded policy limits and caused burns. A resident with CHF, CKD, AFib, HTN, hospice status, and moderate cognitive impairment spilled hot tea and sustained 1st- and 2nd-degree burns. The facility’s policy required beverages to be served at 135-140 degrees F, but logs and observations showed hot liquids leaving the kitchen above 150 degrees F, with readings as high as 188.6 degrees F. Staff gave inconsistent statements about the maximum safe temperature and monitoring responsibilities.
Mail Opened Without Resident Permission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to respect one resident’s right to personal privacy by opening his mail without his permission. The resident was a [AGE]-year-old male admitted with quadriplegia, C1-C4 complete, anxiety disorder, and depression. His MDS showed a BIMS score of 14. A grievance filed on his behalf stated that staff opened his mail without permission, and the resident reported that an LVNA opened the mail and told him she did so because she thought there might be medication inside. During interview, the resident stated that the RN brought him his mail after it had already been opened and that he told her there was no reason to open it without asking first. He said he felt disrespected. The LVNA stated she opened the resident’s mail because she had been told when hired to open residents’ mail to check for medication, and she acknowledged that the resident did not give permission. The ADMN and AADMN both confirmed that opening a resident’s mail without permission violated resident rights policy and that the incident led to a grievance.
Hot beverage temperatures exceeded policy limits and caused resident burns
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the resident environment remained as free of accident hazards as possible when a resident was served hot tea that spilled and caused first- and second-degree burns. The resident was a female admitted with diagnoses including hypertensive heart and chronic kidney disease with heart failure, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension. She was on hospice for terminal heart and kidney disease stage 4 and had a BIMS score of 09, indicating moderate cognitive impairment. Her care plan included a focus on fragile skin with interventions to encourage her to call for assistance as needed and to observe skin for problems. On the morning of the incident, the resident spilled hot tea and the skin occurrence report documented redness and warmth to the right upper arm. The weekly skin assessment documented burns to the right shoulder, right side of the chest, right elbow, right antecubital area, and right armpit. An order was later written for silver sulfadiazine cream to the burn area. The resident’s discharge summary later reflected progressive decline and listed heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Record review and observations showed the facility did not consistently keep hot liquids within its stated limits. The facility’s policy stated hot beverages must never exceed 140 degrees F at the point of service, with approved service temperature of 135-140 degrees F, and beverages above 140 degrees F must not be served. However, the hot water temperature log showed multiple readings above 150 degrees F, including readings as high as 171 degrees F, 183.2 degrees F, 188.6 degrees F, and 178.9 degrees F. Staff interviews showed inconsistent understanding of the policy and different stated maximum temperatures, and the DON, DM-A, CK-A, DT-A, and ADM-A each described varying practices and monitoring responsibilities related to hot liquid safety.
