Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Whispering Springs Rehabilitation And Healthcare C during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Shower water temperatures were not consistently controlled within the required range. Surveyors found four shower rooms with temperatures either above 110°F or below 100°F, and the Maintenance Director confirmed the readings but had no explanation. A resident with severe cognitive impairment had previously complained that shower water was too hot, and staff interviews showed CNAs were checking water by hand and relying on the resident to judge comfort.
The facility did not post nurse staffing information with the current date, as the displayed posting was for the previous day. The DON confirmed the error, which was attributed to the night shift staff, and no other current postings were available at the time of observation.
The facility failed to follow food safety standards by not dating or sealing opened food items in the kitchen, and staff with facial hair did not wear proper restraints, risking contamination. Observations showed undated bread, pasta, and cornmeal, and staff with exposed facial hair during food preparation, contrary to facility policies.
Shower Water Temperatures Out of Range
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure resident shower water temperatures were reliably controlled by thermostatic or mixing valves and remained within the required range of 100°F to 110°F at each fixture. Survey observations on 6/4/26 found four shower rooms out of range: Hall 1 measured 116.2°F, Hall 2 measured 112.2°F, Hall 3 measured 89.4°F, and Hall 4 measured 114.4°F. The Maintenance Director was present during the measurements and confirmed the readings, and he stated he had no explanation for the results. Resident #1 was a male resident with diagnoses including hemiplegia/hemiparesis following cerebral infarction, abnormalities of gait and mobility, and COPD. His quarterly MDS reflected a BIMS score of zero, indicating severe cognitive impairment, and his ADLs for toileting required one staff assist. A nurse note documented that the resident voiced concern that shower water was too hot when assisted by a CNA. The resident later stated he was showered every 2 days and could not recall details of any hot water incident, but he reported no skin burns. Skin assessments showed intact skin. Staff interviews showed CNAs checked shower water by hand and then asked the resident to touch the water to judge comfort. CNA staff and RNs recalled that an in-service had been given after the resident complained about hot shower water. The DON stated the resident complained on 2/12/26 that his shower the prior day had been too hot, and the Administrator stated the allegation was investigated and found unfounded because the CNA said the water was lukewarm and the resident denied being burned. The facility’s water temperature log also showed Hall 4 Main Shower at 112°F on 5/26/26, and the Maintenance Director and Regional Maintenance Director both stated they had no explanation for the out-of-range readings.
Failure to Post Current Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the daily nurse staffing information posted included the current date, as required. During an observation, the posted 24-hour nurse staffing information was found to be dated for the previous day, and no other current postings were observed. The DON confirmed during an interview that the posting displayed the incorrect date and attributed the error to the night shift staff. A review of the facility's policy indicated that the date for which the staffing information is posted must be included on the form.
Food Safety and Hair Restraint Deficiencies in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety in their kitchen, as observed during a survey. Specifically, the facility did not date a partially used loaf of bread, an opened bag of elbow pasta, and a twenty-five-pound bag of cornmeal. These items were found in the pantry without proper dating or sealing, which could lead to contamination and foodborne illness. Staff interviews confirmed that these items should have been dated and sealed to prevent contamination and ensure food safety. Additionally, the facility did not ensure that staff with facial hair wore proper hair restraints while handling food. Observations revealed that two staff members had exposed facial hair while preparing meals and drinks, which could lead to contamination of the food. Interviews with the staff confirmed that they were unaware of the requirement to cover their mustaches with facial hair restraints, highlighting a lack of compliance with the facility's policy and the Food Code. The facility's policies on food receiving and storage, as well as the dietary employee dress code, were reviewed and found to be in line with safe food handling practices. However, the failure to implement these policies properly resulted in deficiencies that could potentially compromise the safety and quality of food served to residents.
