Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Milwaukee Catholic Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that food stored in medication room refrigerators was repeatedly kept above the facility's required temperature range, with logs showing multiple days of elevated readings and missed documentation. Staff demonstrated inconsistent understanding of proper temperature ranges, and the temperature log did not clearly distinguish between food and medication storage requirements. No evidence was found that maintenance was notified or corrective action taken during the period, resulting in noncompliance with food safety standards.
A resident's tube feeding pole and related equipment were repeatedly observed to be covered in dried feeding splatter and debris over several days. Interviews with LPNs, housekeeping, and the DON revealed confusion about who was responsible for cleaning the equipment, resulting in ongoing unsanitary conditions.
Staff failed to follow infection prevention and control protocols during bowel and bladder care for a resident with hemiplegia and a gastrostomy tube. Observations included a resident sitting on feeding tube tubing, staff reconnecting tubing without changing it, use of dirty gloves during peri care, and providing a washcloth that had fallen on the floor for personal hygiene. These actions occurred despite the resident requiring assistance and being cognitively intact.
Failure to Maintain Safe Food Storage Temperatures in Medication Room Refrigerators
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food stored in resident food refrigerators located in medication rooms was maintained at safe temperatures in accordance with professional standards and facility policy. Surveyor observations over multiple days revealed that the food refrigerator on the 2nd floor rehabilitation unit consistently registered temperatures above the facility's required range of 35 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit, with thermometer readings between 42 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature log for this refrigerator also documented multiple instances throughout the month where temperatures exceeded the policy limit, and there were several days where no temperature was logged at all. Interviews with staff, including a registered nurse, the culinary services manager, and the nursing home administrator, revealed inconsistent knowledge regarding the correct temperature range for food storage. The temperature log used by the facility did not clearly differentiate between the required temperature ranges for medication and food refrigerators, leading to confusion among staff. The log itself listed a range of 36 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, which did not align with the facility's food and nutrition policy specifying 35 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit for food storage. Despite repeated elevated temperature readings and incomplete documentation, there was no evidence that maintenance was notified or that corrective action was taken during the period in question. The food refrigerator contained items such as Glucerna, Ensure, applesauce, pudding, and juices, all of which require proper refrigeration. The lack of consistent monitoring, documentation, and timely response to out-of-range temperatures resulted in the facility not meeting food safety requirements for storage.
Unclean Tube Feeding Equipment Due to Unclear Cleaning Responsibilities
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified regarding the cleanliness and sanitation of tube feeding equipment for one resident receiving tube feeding. Multiple observations over several days revealed that the resident's tube feeding pole and associated equipment, including the screen, base, and power cord, were covered in dried tube feeding splatter, crust, and unknown debris. Despite repeated observations, the equipment remained unclean, and the unsanitary condition persisted. Interviews with staff, including LPNs, housekeeping, and the Director of Nursing (DON), revealed confusion and lack of clarity regarding responsibility for cleaning the tube feeding poles. Some staff believed housekeeping was responsible, while others indicated that nursing staff should clean the equipment at the end of each shift. The ongoing lack of cleaning and unclear assignment of duties resulted in the tube feeding equipment remaining in an unsanitary state for several days.
Failure to Maintain Infection Control During Bowel and Bladder Care
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed multiple failures in infection prevention and control practices during bowel and bladder care for a resident with hemiplegia and a gastrostomy tube. On several occasions, staff did not maintain proper hygiene or aseptic technique. The resident was observed sitting directly on their feeding tube tubing while using a bedside commode. A LPN disconnected the tubing, removed it from under the resident, hung it back on the feeding pole, and then reconnected it to the feeding tube port without changing the tubing. Additionally, a CNA cleaned the resident's rectal area after a bowel movement and, without changing dirty gloves, handed the resident a washcloth and applied cream to the resident's buttock. The resident confirmed that the tube feeding was reconnected without the tubing being changed. Further observations included a CNA bringing a clear garbage bag of washcloths from the bathroom, using a washcloth from the bag to clean the resident, and then dropping the bag so that washcloths fell onto the floor. The CNA then picked up a washcloth from the floor and handed it to the resident for peri care. The CNA stated the washcloths were clean. The resident was cognitively intact, required partial to moderate assistance with toileting hygiene, and was frequently incontinent. These actions demonstrate a lack of adherence to infection control protocols during personal care and handling of medical equipment.
