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 8 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, record review, and review of the facility's policy, it was determined the facility failed to revise the care plan for one (Resident (R) 18) of 23 sampled residents. R18's comprehensive care plan called for the use of a call light as an approach to deal with care problems including falls and incontinence. Once R18 was no longer able to use a call light, the facility failed to revise the care plan to ensure the resident was able to summon help if needed.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, record review, and facility policy review, the facility failed to take action to help prevent the development and transmission of communicable diseases and infections for one (Resident (R) 49) of three sampled residents reviewed during medication administration. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) 3) was observed to drop three of R49's medication tablets/capsules onto the top of the medication cart while pressing medications out of blister packets. LPN3, who was bare-handed, picked up each of the medications that were dropped onto the cart without wearing gloves, then placed the medications in a plastic cup with the rest of R49's medications, and administered the medications to the resident.

The cook's beard was not fully covered with a beard guard to prevent resident foods from potential contamination. In addition, the facility failed to maintain accurate and complete temperature logs for the steam table on three separate occasions, 10/03/2021 at 4:00 PM, 10/14/2021 at 4:00 PM and 10/20/2021 at 4:00 PM.
