Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Rennes Health And Rehab Center-weston during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that staff thawed pork chops in still water rather than under cold running water as required by policy and the FDA Food Code. The pork was left in the water after the running water was turned off, and was later cooked and served to 26 residents. Staff interviews confirmed the improper thawing method, and the deficiency was cited for failure to follow safe food handling practices.
A resident with dementia and a history of falls did not have required fall prevention interventions, such as a 'Call don't fall' sign and autolocking wheelchair brakes, in place as specified in the care plan. Staff confirmed these measures were missing despite being documented, resulting in a failure to follow the facility's fall risk policy.
Two residents experienced medication errors when a nurse used another resident's topical medication and failed to remove a lidocaine patch as ordered, resulting in a medication error rate above 5%. These errors involved improper medication administration and failure to follow physician orders and documentation protocols.
A resident with an indwelling Foley catheter was observed with the catheter bag placed above bladder level and, on another occasion, resting uncovered on the floor. Staff failed to follow facility policy requiring the catheter bag to be kept below bladder level and off the floor, as confirmed by both nursing and CNA staff during surveyor interviews.
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene with food handling. A dietary aide was observed touching multiple contaminated surfaces with gloved hands and then using the same gloves to serve garlic bread to residents, without removing gloves or washing hands. This practice was against the facility's policy and had the potential to affect all 24 residents in the south dining room.
A resident with severe cognitive dysfunction and multiple medical diagnoses did not receive necessary services for repositioning, personal hygiene, oral care, and nutritional support. Staff failed to follow the care plan's directives, resulting in the resident being left without assistance for extended periods and not receiving proper meal supervision or oral care.
A resident with severe cognitive dysfunction and limited range of motion did not receive necessary restorative services to maintain or improve mobility. Observations and interviews revealed that staff did not follow the restorative nursing program (RNP) directives, resulting in the resident not being encouraged to participate in ADLs or ambulation.
A CNA failed to follow proper hand hygiene protocols during care for a resident with multiple medical diagnoses. The CNA did not sanitize or wash her hands after removing gloves, particularly after perineal care, and continued to perform various tasks without proper hand hygiene. Both the CNA and Unit Manager acknowledged the importance of hand hygiene and the failure to adhere to protocols.
Improper Thawing of Raw Pork Chops in Dietary Department
Penalty
Summary
Surveyors observed that the facility did not follow proper food handling practices regarding the thawing of raw pork chops intended for resident meals. On the morning of the survey, pork chops were seen thawing in a pan of still water in a prep sink, rather than being completely submerged under cold running water as required by both facility policy and the FDA Food Code. The pork chops remained in the same still water for at least 26 minutes, and staff interviews confirmed that the water was not running during this period. The Dietary Manager and the cook provided inconsistent accounts regarding whether the pork had been thawed under running water prior to the observation, but ultimately confirmed that the pork was partially frozen in the middle when removed from the water, then breaded, cooked, and served to 26 residents. The facility's policy, last revised in August 2014, and federal guidelines both require that frozen meat be thawed under cold running water with sufficient velocity to agitate and float off loose particles, ensuring the food does not exceed safe temperatures. The Director of Corporate Food Services was informed that the water had been running earlier but was turned off when the cook left the kitchen, leaving the pork in still water. The surveyor determined that these actions did not meet safe and appropriate thawing methods, potentially contributing to foodborne illness risk for the residents served.
Failure to Implement Fall Prevention Interventions per Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency occurred when the facility failed to implement comprehensive, person-centered care plan interventions for a resident with a history of falls and multiple diagnoses, including unspecified dementia with psychotic disturbance, delirium, and adult failure to thrive. The resident's care plan identified specific fall prevention interventions, such as placing a 'Call don't fall' sign in the room and installing autolocking brakes on the wheelchair. These interventions were documented in the care plan with specific dates for implementation. However, during surveyor observation, neither the required signage nor the autolocking brakes were present for the resident. Interviews with a CNA and the Director of Nursing confirmed that these interventions were supposed to be in place, with the CNA referencing the care card and the DON noting the sign was found in the resident's drawer and that the resident may not have had their usual wheelchair. The lack of these interventions indicated that the facility did not follow its own policy or the resident's care plan to address identified fall risks.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds 5% Due to Administration and Documentation Failures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below 5%, with 2 errors identified out of 29 opportunities, resulting in a 6.9% error rate. In one instance, a registered nurse was unable to locate a resident's prescribed topical diclofenac sodium gel and subsequently used another resident's Voltaren gel to administer the medication. The nurse acknowledged that this was not the correct procedure, as medications should not be shared between residents. Documentation also showed that the nurse did not update the primary care provider or pharmacy about the medication's unavailability as required by facility policy. In another case, a resident with a physician's order for daily lidocaine patches to be applied and removed after 12 hours did not have the previous day's patch removed as ordered. The nurse applied two new patches without first removing the old one, contrary to the physician's instructions. Review of the medication administration record indicated that the removal of the previous patch was documented, but observation confirmed it was still in place, indicating a failure to follow the prescribed medication regimen.
Failure to Maintain Proper Foley Catheter Bag Positioning and Infection Control
Penalty
Summary
A deficiency was identified when a resident with a complex urological history, including recent urinary surgery, urogenital implants, and a current indwelling Foley catheter, was observed with improper catheter bag positioning on two separate occasions. On one occasion, the resident's catheter bag was placed on their lap above bladder level while being brought to the dining room, which was confirmed by an LPN who acknowledged the issue. The resident had just returned from a urology appointment, and the improper positioning was not corrected until after the surveyor's observation. On another occasion, the same resident's Foley catheter drainage bag was found clipped to the bottom of the wheelchair, with half of the bag uncovered and resting on the floor. A CNA who provided morning care recognized that the catheter bag should have been placed in a privacy bag on the back of the wheelchair, as per facility policy. The facility's own catheter care policy requires that the drainage bag be kept below bladder level and off the floor at all times, but these standards were not maintained during the observed incidents.
Improper Hand Hygiene with Food Handling
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure proper hand hygiene with food handling in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. The dietary aide, identified as Cook R, was observed touching multiple contaminated surfaces with gloved hands and then using the same gloves to serve garlic bread on resident plates. This occurred in the south dining room and had the potential to affect all 24 residents present. The facility's policy on preventing foodborne illness requires employees to wash their hands before coming in contact with any food surfaces, after handling soiled equipment or utensils, and after engaging in activities that contaminate the hands. Additionally, gloves are considered single-use items and must be discarded after completing the task for which they are used, and the use of disposable gloves does not substitute for proper handwashing. On multiple occasions, Cook R was observed touching serving utensils, plates, countertops, meal tickets, and plate lids with gloved hands and then using the same gloves to pick up garlic bread and place it on resident plates. Cook R did not remove her gloves or wash her hands between these actions. When interviewed, Cook R acknowledged that her practice was incorrect and subsequently removed her gloves and washed her hands. The Corporate Food Service Director confirmed that using contaminated gloves to pick up food items is not the facility's practice and that utensils such as tongs are usually used for this purpose.
Failure to Provide Necessary ADL Assistance and Nutritional Support
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident who is unable to carry out activities of daily living independently received the necessary services to maintain good nutrition, repositioning, personal hygiene, and oral hygiene. The resident, who has severe cognitive dysfunction and multiple medical diagnoses including hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and aphasia, was observed to be left without repositioning or personal hygiene assistance for over four hours. Despite the care plan indicating the need for repositioning every 2-3 hours, staff did not approach the resident to offer or encourage repositioning or personal hygiene during this period. Additionally, the resident did not receive the required oral care following meals, as directed by the care plan. Observations showed that after meals, staff did not perform oral care to clear potential food from the resident's cheeks, which is crucial given the resident's risk of pocketing food. This lack of oral care was noted during multiple meal observations, where the resident was also not encouraged or cued to eat independently, despite the care plan's directives for meal assistance and supervision. The resident's nutritional needs were also not adequately met. During meal times, the resident was observed to sit unassisted for extended periods without staff interaction or encouragement to eat. The resident was served meals with regular utensils instead of the recommended adaptive devices and was not provided beverages in the appropriate containers. Staff failed to follow the care plan's instructions for meal assistance, which included direct supervision, small bites, and alternating solids and liquids, leading to the resident consuming significantly less than the required amount of food.
Failure to Implement Restorative Services for Resident with Limited Mobility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident with limited mobility received the necessary restorative services to maintain or improve mobility. The resident, who has severe cognitive dysfunction and limited range of motion on the right side of the body, was not encouraged or directed to participate in activities of daily living (ADL) as recommended by physical and occupational therapy. Instead, the certified nursing assistant (CNA) performed all the care tasks for the resident, without allowing for any independence or ambulation opportunities, contrary to the restorative nursing program (RNP) directives. Observations by the surveyor revealed that the resident was not ambulated as per the RNP, and ADL tasks were not conducted in a manner that encouraged the resident's participation. The resident was seen being dressed and groomed in bed rather than at the sink, and no ambulation was attempted. Interviews with various CNAs indicated a lack of awareness or adherence to the RNP, with some staff expressing discomfort or fear in ambulating the resident. Further interviews with the Director of Rehabilitation and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the staff should follow the RNPs, but there was a clear gap in communication and implementation. The Unit Manager stated that the RNPs are communicated to staff via bright green sheets on a whiteboard, but the staff did not consistently follow these plans. This lack of adherence to the RNPs resulted in the resident not receiving the necessary restorative services to maintain or improve their mobility and functional abilities.
Failure to Follow Hand Hygiene Protocols
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure appropriate hand hygiene was conducted during care for a resident with multiple medical diagnoses, including hemiplegia, aphasia, and metabolic encephalopathy. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) was observed performing various care tasks for the resident without sanitizing or washing her hands after removing gloves, particularly after perineal and buttock cleansing. The CNA continued to perform additional tasks such as dressing the resident, handling personal items, and assisting with mobility without proper hand hygiene. The CNA was observed entering the resident's room, sanitizing her hands, and donning gloves before starting care. However, after completing catheter care and perineal cleansing, the CNA removed her gloves but did not sanitize or wash her hands before donning a new pair of gloves. The CNA then proceeded to dress the resident, handle soiled linens, and perform other tasks without proper hand hygiene. This included adjusting the bed, handling the resident's personal items, and assisting with mobility. When interviewed, the CNA acknowledged the importance of hand hygiene and admitted that she should have sanitized her hands after removing gloves, especially following perineal care. The Unit Manager also confirmed that the expected practice is to sanitize hands after removing gloves and before donning new ones, particularly after performing tasks like perineal care. The observation highlighted a failure to follow proper hand hygiene protocols, which is essential for preventing the spread of infections.
