Health deficiencies cited at Advanced Health Care Of Salem during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to complete and document thorough investigations into two serious injury incidents reported as potential abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment. In one case, a resident had an unwitnessed fall, later developed left leg weakness, and was found by X-ray to have a distal femoral metaphasis fracture, but no investigation documentation was available. In another case, a resident sustained a head injury during a hoyer lift transfer, later showed a change in neurological status, and was found by CT to have a subdural hematoma, yet no five-day summary report or investigation could be located, despite acknowledgment that such investigations were required to rule out neglect or abuse.
The facility failed to enforce the policy requiring staff and contractors to wear hair and beard nets in the kitchen. Observations revealed the Dietary Manager and a Maintenance Worker repeatedly entered the kitchen without proper hair and beard coverings, and a local delivery person was also seen without a hair net.
A resident admitted with multiple diagnoses and a pressure ulcer did not receive timely and appropriate wound care. Inconsistencies in documentation and communication among nursing staff led to a lack of necessary treatment and services to promote healing and prevent new ulcers.
Failure to Investigate Serious Injury Incidents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to thoroughly investigate two reported incidents of potential abuse, neglect, exploitation, or mistreatment involving sampled residents. For one resident, the facility reported to the State Survey Agency that the resident had an unwitnessed fall during the night, initially resulting in mild left hip pain, followed by subsequent weakness in the left leg. A left knee X-ray obtained several days later showed a fracture of the distal femoral metaphasis, yet the Administrator confirmed there was no investigation documentation for this incident. For another resident, the facility reported that the resident sustained a head injury during a hoyer lift transfer, and a change in neurological status was identified the following day. A head CT scan revealed a subdural hematoma, but the Administrator in Training stated he could not locate the five-day summary report or any investigation of the incident. He acknowledged that investigations into these incidents should have been completed to rule out neglect or abuse.
Failure to Enforce Hair and Beard Net Policy in Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not store, prepare, distribute, and serve food in accordance with professional standards for food safety. Specifically, staff were observed not wearing hair and beard coverings in the kitchen. On multiple occasions, the Dietary Manager (DM) and a Maintenance Worker (MW) were seen in the kitchen without proper hair and beard nets. The DM was observed without a hair net on 4/8/24 and again on 4/9/24. The MW was repeatedly seen without a beard net while performing maintenance on the ice machine and walking through the kitchen near uncovered food. Additionally, a local delivery person was observed walking through the kitchen without a hair net or hat. Interviews with the DM and the Registered Dietician (RD) confirmed that all staff, including contracted workers, are expected to wear hair protection when entering the kitchen. The DM acknowledged that hair nets are available at the corner of the dining room before entering the kitchen but noted that there were no hair nets supplied by the back door. The RD reiterated that all staff should wear hair nets if entering the kitchen from any door. Despite these expectations, the observations indicated a failure to consistently enforce this policy, leading to the cited deficiency.
Failure to Provide Appropriate Pressure Ulcer Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received appropriate care to prevent and treat pressure ulcers. Resident 121, who was admitted with multiple diagnoses including severe anemia, protein malnutrition, and Parkinson's disease, was identified to have a pressure ulcer upon admission. Despite this, the resident did not receive the necessary treatment and services for wound care. The initial skin assessment indicated a skin alteration, and a physician order for a wound specialist referral was made, but the resident did not receive timely wound care evaluation and treatment as required by professional standards of practice. Interviews with the nursing staff revealed inconsistencies in the documentation and communication regarding the resident's condition. RN 1 stated that any identified wounds should be reported to the physician for treatment orders, while RN 2 was unaware of any skin breakdown or physician orders for such. The Director of Nursing (DON) discovered that the initial skin assessment documented skin alterations, but the resident had not been evaluated by the wound care team as expected. The DON also noted that the wound care team should have been notified directly, rather than relying on the wound specialist referral order alone. During a skin assessment conducted by the DON, redness and scar-like tissue were observed on the resident's buttocks, indicating possible healed pressure injuries. The DON acknowledged that the resident could have benefited from pressure reduction dressings and took steps to document and address the wounds. However, the lack of timely and appropriate wound care upon admission and the failure to notify the wound care team directly contributed to the deficiency in providing necessary treatment and services to promote healing and prevent new ulcers from developing.
