Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Sky View Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to provide 3 residents or their legal reps with required transfer/discharge notice details and written bed-hold policy information, including the daily bed-hold rate. Two residents were transferred to the hospital multiple times, but their records did not show that they were told the bed-hold charges, and the transfer/discharge notices lacked Ombudsman contact info and appeal rights. A third resident’s transfer notice also omitted appeal rights and Ombudsman contact information.
Failure to Follow PRN Insulin Orders and Notify Provider for Elevated Blood Sugars: A resident with DM and hyperglycemia had an order for PRN Novolin R when blood sugar was 400 mg/dL or higher, repeated every 2 hours until the blood sugar was below 300. On several occasions, staff gave one dose when the blood sugar was over 400, but did not continue the ordered insulin when follow-up readings stayed above 300, and there was no documentation that the provider was notified of the elevated blood sugars. An LPN was unsure of the notification threshold, and the DON stated the nurse should have given additional Novolin and notified the provider.
Infection Prevention and Control Deficiencies: Staff did not consistently follow infection control practices for two residents. A resident with a urinary catheter on EBP had no EBP signage or PPE available at the room entrance, and staff were unclear about when PPE was required for direct care. In another instance, an LPN touched a resident’s used cup with contaminated gloves, then administered eye drops with those gloves and changed gloves without performing hand hygiene.
The facility failed to ensure proper sanitization and food handling practices, risking foodborne illnesses for 29 residents. The chemical dishwasher did not reach the required 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and an open bag of mini cream puffs was found without labeling or discard dates, violating food service safety standards.
The facility failed to serve food at a palatable and safe temperature, affecting several residents. Meals transported from a sister facility were often lukewarm by the time they reached residents, with some items requiring reheating. Residents, including those with nutritional concerns, reported dissatisfaction with the meals, describing them as cold or not palatable. Observations confirmed that food temperatures were not maintained, leading to resident complaints.
Missing transfer/discharge notices and bed-hold rate information
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that 3 of 3 residents, R3, R18, and R21, or their legal representatives were notified of the reason for transfer or discharge and were not provided a written bed-hold policy that included the rate to reserve their beds. R18 was admitted to the facility and was transferred to the hospital on 03/17/2026 and 04/04/2026, but the medical record did not include documentation that R18 or the legal representative received written or verbal communication of the daily bed-hold rate charges. The facility's written transfer/discharge notice for R18 also did not include ombudsman contact information or the resident's right to appeal discharge. R21 was admitted to the facility and was transferred to the hospital on 01/01/2026 and 02/11/2026, but the medical record did not include documentation that R21 or the legal representative received written or verbal communication of the daily bed-hold rate charges. During interview on 04/29/2026 at 8:30 AM, the Nursing Home Administrator could not provide this information for R18 and R21. The facility's written transfer/discharge notice for R21 also did not include ombudsman contact information or the resident's right to appeal discharge. R3 was admitted to the facility and was transferred to the hospital on 11/20/25, and the transfer notice did not include appeal rights or Ombudsman contact information.
Failure to Follow PRN Insulin Orders and Notify Provider for Elevated Blood Sugars
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not ensure that a resident with type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia received treatment and care in accordance with the provider’s orders. The resident had an order for Novolin R 10 units subcutaneously for blood sugars greater than or equal to 400, as needed every 2 hours until the blood sugar was less than 300. On multiple occasions, the resident’s blood sugar was documented above 400 mg/dL and 10 units of Novolin were administered, but follow-up blood sugars remained above 300 mg/dL and no additional Novolin was given as ordered. The record also showed no documentation that the provider was notified when the resident’s blood sugars were 413, 416, 446, 415, and 436 mg/dL. In some instances, follow-up blood sugars were documented hours later and remained elevated, including 323, 349, and 400 mg/dL, but the ordered repeat insulin was not administered to bring the blood sugar below 300. During interview, an LPN stated she believed the standing order was to notify the provider if blood sugar was less than 60 or greater than 400, but was not sure, and the DON stated the nurse should have administered additional Novolin and notified the provider of the blood sugars over 400.
Infection Prevention and Control Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility did not establish and maintain an infection prevention and control program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable environment to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable disease and infections for 2 residents. One resident had a urinary catheter and was on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP), but there was no EBP signage near the room entry or in the room, and no PPE was available in the entryway or room during observation. Staff interviews showed confusion about EBP, with a CNA stating PPE was only needed during catheter care, another CNA stating the resident was on droplet precautions just for the catheter, and the DON and NHA acknowledging staff did not understand the need for PPE during direct care for the resident. For another resident, an LPN was observed wearing gloves, touching the rim of the resident’s used drinking cup, discarding it, and then administering eye drops with the same contaminated gloves. The LPN then removed the gloves and put on clean gloves without performing hand hygiene. During interview, the LPN agreed she should not have touched the cup rim and then used the same contaminated gloves to apply the eye drops, and agreed hand hygiene should have been performed when changing gloves.
Deficiencies in Dishwasher Sanitization and Food Storage Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper sanitization and food handling practices, which could potentially lead to foodborne illnesses for all 29 residents. During an observation, the surveyor noted that the chemical dishwasher used by the dietary staff did not reach the required temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit for proper sanitization. Despite multiple attempts to adjust the dishwasher, the temperature only reached a maximum of 110 degrees, which is below the required standard. The dietary staff acknowledged the issue and confirmed that it needed to be fixed, but the deficiency remained unaddressed at the time of the survey. Additionally, the facility did not adhere to proper food storage protocols. The surveyor found an open bag of mini cream puffs in the resident refrigerator without any labeling or discard dates, despite the packaging indicating that the item was only good for 24 hours after thawing. The dietary staff admitted that the activity staff likely forgot to date the item, and the cream puffs were subsequently discarded. This oversight in labeling and dating perishable items further highlights the facility's failure to comply with professional standards for food service safety.
Deficiency in Food Temperature and Palatability
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food and drink were served at a palatable and safe temperature, affecting four residents. Observations revealed that meals were transported from a sister facility and placed on a steam table, with some items not fitting properly and being placed on the outer edge. Temperature checks showed that while some items were initially at appropriate temperatures, others, like minced carrots, were below the desired temperature and required reheating. By the time meals were served, test trays indicated that food items were lukewarm, and milk was warmer than desired. Residents expressed dissatisfaction with the food, describing it as cold, lukewarm, or not palatable. Specific residents, including those with mild cognitive impairment and nutritional concerns, reported issues with the meals. One resident, with a history of mild protein-calorie malnutrition, described the meals as 'lousy,' while another resident, with a goal for weight stabilization, noted that meals were often cold or lukewarm due to being served on cold plates. Additionally, a resident with type 2 diabetes provided notes on daily menus, highlighting complaints about cold food and dry meats. The facility's failure to maintain appropriate food temperatures and palatability was evident in the residents' feedback and the surveyor's observations.
