Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Cedar Crest Health Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary environment for food handling, affecting all 58 residents. Surveyors observed staff not wearing hair and beard restraints properly, with some entering the kitchenette without hairnets during food service. Interviews revealed a lack of understanding of the facility's policy on hair restraints.
A resident was found with an inhaler at their bedside without a physician's order or competency assessment for self-administration, contrary to facility policy. Despite being cognitively intact, the resident required partial assistance for ADLs. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of adherence to the policy, as no assessments or orders were documented, leading to a deficiency in medication administration oversight.
The facility failed to coordinate hospice care and ensure proper documentation for three residents receiving hospice services. Despite the policy requiring Social Services to obtain necessary hospice documentation, the facility lacked records of hospice enrollment, care plans, and visit notes in the residents' EHRs. Interviews with staff revealed reliance on verbal communication and assumptions that documentation was being received, leading to a gap in care coordination.
Failure to Maintain Sanitary Food Handling Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not maintain a safe and sanitary environment for food preparation, storage, and distribution, potentially affecting all 58 residents. Surveyors observed multiple instances of staff not adhering to the facility's policy on hair and beard restraints. Specifically, dietary staff were seen wearing hairnets incorrectly, with hair not fully covered, and a dietary aide was observed without a beard restraint while working in the kitchen. Additionally, staff entered the kitchenette area without wearing hairnets while food was being served, contrary to the facility's policy. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of understanding and adherence to the facility's policy on hair restraints. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) indicated that they believed only the cook needed to wear a hairnet, not other staff entering the kitchenette. The Dietary Manager confirmed that staff should wear hair and beard restraints properly and that staff should not enter the kitchenette during food service without proper hair restraints. These observations and interviews highlight the facility's failure to ensure a safe and sanitary environment for food handling, as required by professional standards.
Failure to Ensure Appropriate Self-Administration of Medications
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the self-administration of medications was clinically appropriate for a resident, identified as R32. R32 was observed with an inhaler on his bedside table without a physician's order or a completed assessment to determine his competency for self-administration. The facility's policy requires that residents may self-administer medications only if deemed competent by the attending physician and the interdisciplinary care planning team. Despite this policy, R32, who has a BIMS score indicating cognitive intactness and requires partial to moderate assistance for ADLs, was found to have an inhaler at his bedside without the necessary assessments or orders. Interviews with facility staff, including an LPN and the DON, revealed a lack of adherence to the facility's policy regarding self-administration of medications. The LPN was unaware of any assessments conducted for R32's competency, and the DON confirmed that no self-administer assessment or physician's order was present in R32's medical record. The DON stated that residents interested in self-administering medications should undergo an assessment reviewed at a weekly risk management meeting, and if deemed competent, they would receive a lock box for safe storage. However, this process was not followed for R32, leading to the deficiency in medication administration oversight.
Failure to Coordinate Hospice Care and Documentation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper coordination of care and communication with hospice services for three residents receiving hospice care. The facility's policy requires Social Services to coordinate care and obtain necessary documentation from hospice providers, including the hospice plan of care, contact information for hospice personnel, and medication information. However, for residents R61, R55, and R320, the facility did not have documentation of hospice enrollment, admission assessments, care plans, orders, or visit notes in their Electronic Health Records (EHR). This lack of documentation was confirmed through interviews with facility staff, including a Registered Nurse (RN), the Director of Nursing (DON), and a hospice RN, who revealed that hospice notes were not being faxed or documented in the EHR as expected. The deficiency was further highlighted by the fact that the facility's staff, including the Social Worker (SW), assumed that the necessary documentation was being received and scanned into the EHR without verification. The hospice RN indicated that they only fax documentation if requested by the facility, and the facility staff relied on verbal communication for updates on hospice care plans and visit frequencies. This lack of formal documentation and reliance on verbal communication led to a gap in the coordination of care for the residents receiving hospice services.
