Federal rules call for a standard inspection at least every 15 months, plus a visit whenever a complaint is filed. Each mark below is one citation, colored by how serious inspectors rated it. How to read a citation.
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 10 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, and review of facility policies titled Labeling Food Product and Pots and Pans - Sanitizing Solution, the facility failed to ensure opened food items were properly dated after opening and failed to discard food items after the best by date. In addition, the facility failed to prevent wet-nesting in stored steam table pans to ensure there was no bacterial growth. These deficient practices had the potential to place the 29 residents who were receiving an oral diet from the kitchen at increased risk of contracting a foodborne illness.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility's policy titled Medication Administration, the facility failed to ensure unauthorized medication was not left at the bedside for one of 20 sampled residents (R) R6. This deficient practice had the potential to place R6 at increased risk of unauthorized use of medication.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interview, and review of the facility's policy titled Reference and Background Checks, the facility failed to ensure pre-employment screenings, specifically reference checks, were conducted prior to employment for four of 10 employees reviewed. This deficient practice had the potential to place residents residing in the facility at risk of abuse, neglect, and exploitation from staff. The census was 29 residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and staff interviews, the facility failed to place an open date on one vial of blood glucose strips on one of two medication carts. This deficient practice had the potential to place residents at risk of incorrect blood sugar readings.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, interviews, and review of the facility's policy titled, Labeling Food Product, the facility failed to ensure that opened food items were labeled, dated, and secured from open air. The deficient practice had the potential to affect 34 residents who received an oral diet and were served food from the kitchen.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interview, and review of the facility's policy titled, Use of Psychotropic Medication, the facility failed to ensure a stop date was implemented, not to exceed 14 days, for psychotropic medications for three residents (R) (R1, R29, and R7) of six residents reviewed for unnecessary medications.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, and review of the facility's policy titled, Glucometer Disinfection, the facility failed to ensure proper infection control measures were followed for cleaning and disinfecting a glucometer (a device used to measure blood glucose) on one of one resident (R) (25) reviewed during a glucometer test. In addition, the nurse did not use a barrier before placing the glucometer on the surface of the medication cart. The deficient practices placed residents at risk of potential exposure to infections due to cross-contamination.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, staff interviews, and review of the facility policies titled, Infection Prevention and Control Program and Antibiotic Stewardship Program, the facility failed to provide evidence of a process for periodic review of antibiotic prescribing practices, and to document follow-up measures in response to the data for 11 of 12 months of infection control data reviewed (May 2022 through April 2023). The deficient practice had the potential to affect any resident who was prescribed an antibiotic.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, resident and staff interviews, record review, and review of the facility's policy titled, Resident Self-Administration of Medication, the facility failed to assess one resident (R) R#11 sampled for the ability to self-administer medications prior to leaving medications at the bedside. The deficient practice had the potential to allow access to medications otherwise not prescribed by a physician to other residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, staff interviews, record review, and a review of the facility's policies titled, CPAP/BIPAP Cleaning, and Nebulizer Therapy the facility failed to ensure oxygen equipment was properly stored while not in use and failed to have a current physicians order for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for one (1) of Four (4) residents (R) (#11) receiving treatment for respiratory care.
