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 13 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a medication was administered timely in accordance with the physician order for one of 12 sampled residents (Resident 46). This failure had the potential for adverse health outcomes related to incorrect medication administration time.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to prevent the spread of infections during kitchen observation when a staff member did not perform hand hygiene after touching a contaminated item. This failure had the potential to transmit infectious microorganisms and increase the risk of infection for residents and staff.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and document review, the facility failed to ensure the garbage dumpster (a movable waste container) lid was kept closed. This failure had the potential to attract insects, rodents, and other pests to the facility.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to identify appropriate interventions for two of 12 residents (Resident 4 and 38):1. Resident 4's dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing foods or liquid) care plan had no interventions; and2. Resident 38's wound care plan did not indicate wound care interventions. This failure had the potential to compromise the facility's ability to implement interventions.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure the proper use of side or bed rails ((adjustable rigid bars attached to the side of a bed) for 25 of 25 sampled residents (Residents 122, 120, 175, 70, 73, 1, 79, 125, 72, 126, 71, 74, 76, 128, 171, 75, 172, 127, 123, 173, 78, 121, 174, 77, and 170) when: 1. The facility failed to assess for the risk of entrapment from side rails prior to use of side rails for 25 of 25 residents (Residents 122, 120, 175, 70, 73, 1, 79, 125, 72, 126, 71, 74, 76, 128, 171, 75, 172, 127, 123, 173, 78, 121, 174, 77, and 170). 2. [...]
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure food items were labeled properly and expired food were not stored in the kitchen and accessible to be used in preparing foods for 23 of 25 residents. This practice had the potential to result in the residents ingesting expired food, which can result in foodborne illnesses.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to issue the Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC, informs beneficiaries on how to file an appeal before their insurance coverage ends) timely for two of three sampled residents (Resident 80 and 81). This deficient practice had the potential to result in residents not being able to exercise their right to file an appeal.
Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the plan of care for one of 25 sampled residents (Resident 1) was individualized and revised to reflect the resident's current care needs and interventions. This failure had the potential to result in not meeting the residents' needs.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure two of 25 residents (Residents 74 and 79)'s foot boards of their beds were properly locked. This failure had the potential to negatively affect the residents' well-being and increased the risk of accidents or injuries to the residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure sanitary conditions were maintained for one of three ice machines when an ice machine had a brown-yellow substance in an interior part of the machine was exposed to ice. This failure had the potential to cause food-borne illnesses (an illness caused by food or water contaminated with bacteria, viruses, parasites or toxins). The ice machine was used to provide ice for the residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure proper storage of medical supplies when expired hypodermic safety needles (medical tool, designed for safe one-time use, to inject or extract fluids from the body via a thin hollow tube with a sharp tip), were stored in an active use area inside the medication storage room. This deficient practice had the potential for use of expired medical tools on residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure garbage was disposed of properly in the outside garbage area when a dumpster lid was left open, garbage and linen bags were left outside the dumpsters, and garbage was on the ground. This failure had the potential to attract vermin (pests or animals that spread diseases).
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to implement infection prevention and control strategies when a certified nursing assistant with long fingernails took care of residents. This failure resulted in increased risk of disease transmission to residents via long fingernails, which provide more area(s) where microbes may harbor compared to short fingernails.
