Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mitchell's Nursing Home, Inc during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure the dishwasher machine temperature gauge was in working order. Manual temperature readings were taken for about a month, but the administrator was unaware of the issue. The facility lacked a specific policy for the dish machine, and the temperature log showed exact temperatures recorded despite the gauge being broken.
A resident with unspecified dementia and fall risk was observed using a bed alarm without medical justification. The facility lacked a policy for bed alarms, and staff were unsure of the exact date the alarm was initiated. No other interventions were attempted before the alarm was put in place, highlighting a deficiency in managing the resident's fall risk.
The facility failed to ensure that over-the-counter medications were not expired for medication storage. Expired bottles of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, Vitamin and Mineral Supplement, and antiseptic skin cleanser were found. The DON confirmed the absence of a medication storage policy, and an LPN removed the expired medications.
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene practices among its staff, leading to potential infection control issues. Staff members were observed not washing or sanitizing their hands after resident care or between assisting different residents, despite the facility's policy requiring hand hygiene between resident interactions.
Dishwasher Machine Temperature Gauge Not Functioning
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the dishwasher machine temperature gauge was in working order. During an observation, a dietary aide was seen using the dish machine, and the temperature gauge was not moving, with the glass covering over the gauge being cracked or broken. The dietary manager took manual temperature readings, which were within acceptable ranges, but indicated that the manual readings had been done for about a month. The dietary manager had notified the repair company the day before the observation, but the administrator was unaware of the issue. The facility did not have a policy for the dish machine, and the temperature log showed exact temperatures recorded for most of May, despite the gauge being broken. The dietary manager provided a form titled 'Food Safety Best Practices: Warewashing,' which documented the need to check gauges and compare readings with minimum temperatures. However, the facility lacked a specific policy for the dish machine. The administrator was not informed about the broken gauge, and the facility continued to record exact temperatures in the log, raising concerns about the accuracy and reliability of the recorded data. This deficiency highlights a lapse in communication and adherence to proper procedures for ensuring food safety standards.
Inappropriate Use of Bed Alarm Without Medical Justification
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a bed alarm was not used for a resident without medical justification. The resident, who had a diagnosis of unspecified dementia and was at risk for falls, was observed using a bed alarm pad in both the bed and a recliner. The resident's care plan included the use of a sensor pad due to fall risk, but there was no documented medical justification for the use of the bed alarm. Staff interviews revealed that the bed alarm had been in use since October 2023 following a fall incident, but no other interventions were attempted before the alarm was put in place. The staff, including the LPN, Activity Director, and DON, were unsure of the exact date the alarm was initiated and did not report any physical or psychosocial changes caused by the device. The facility did not have a policy for bed alarms, and the staff were not aware of any specific interventions attempted before the alarm was used. The resident was not hesitant or afraid to move to avoid setting off the alarm, indicating no immediate adverse effects. However, the lack of a medical justification for the use of the bed alarm and the absence of alternative interventions highlight a deficiency in the facility's approach to managing the resident's fall risk. The observations and interviews conducted by the surveyors confirmed the inappropriate use of the bed alarm without proper documentation or justification.
Expired Medications Found in Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that over-the-counter medications were not expired for medication storage. During an observation on 05/29/2024 at 01:30 PM, it was noted that there was one bottle of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) 600 mg with an expiration date of April 2024, one bottle of Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with an expiration date of September 2023, and 18 bottles of antiseptic skin cleanser with an expiration date of April 2024. The Director of Nursing (DON) stated on 05/31/2024 at 10:45 AM that the facility did not have a policy for Medication Storage. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) #3 removed the expired medications from use and informed the DON.
Failure to Ensure Proper Hand Hygiene Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene practices among its staff, leading to potential infection control issues. On multiple occasions, staff members were observed not washing or sanitizing their hands after resident care or between assisting different residents. For instance, an LPN was seen repositioning a resident and then leaving the room without washing her hands. Similarly, a CNA was observed assisting one resident with eating and then immediately assisting another resident without sanitizing her hands in between. Interviews with staff members, including the Director of Nursing and the Infection Preventionist, confirmed that the facility's policy requires hand hygiene between resident interactions, but this was not consistently followed. Additionally, another staff member was observed leaving a resident's room with a plastic bag and entering the soiled utility room without sanitizing her hands. When questioned, the staff member indicated she planned to wash her hands after emptying the bag. The facility's hand hygiene policy, as provided by the Infection Preventionist, clearly states that handwashing is the primary means to prevent the transfer of infections. Despite this policy, the observed actions of the staff did not align with the required infection control practices, leading to the noted deficiencies.
