Under each citation, the quoted text is the inspector's own summary from the federal statement of deficiencies (CMS form 2567), word for word apart from a privacy scrub; CMS removes residents' and staff names before it publishes the text. The full notes are on Medicare.gov.
CMS rates every citation by how much harm it caused (rows) and how many residents it touched (columns). The count in each box is this home's, across all 7 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, record review, and staff, Nurse Practitioner, and Medical Director interviews, the facility staff failed to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and disinfecting of a shared glucometer between resident usage for 2 of 2 residents whose blood sugar levels were checked (Resident #58, Resident #1). Shared glucometers can be contaminated with blood and must be cleaned and disinfected after each use with an approved product and procedure. Failure to use an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved disinfectant in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for disinfection of the glucometer potentially exposes residents to the spread of blood borne infections. There were two residents with a bloodborne pathogen in the facility at the time of the investigation. [...]
