Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at The Lilac At Silver Palms during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A facility failed to develop a fall care plan for a resident with a history of falls and severe cognitive impairment. Additionally, staff did not implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions for two residents with wounds, as they failed to wear required PPE during care. These deficiencies highlight lapses in care planning and infection control protocols.
The facility failed to adhere to infection control standards as three Soiled Utility Rooms were found unlocked during a survey. The RN Infection Control Preventionist confirmed the rooms were left unlocked during the day. An LPN Supervisor stated that the rooms should remain locked, with access controlled by nursing staff, highlighting a lapse in the facility's infection prevention policy.
A resident with Parkinson's and diabetes was observed with razors on their nightstand, contrary to facility policy requiring staff to store razors. Despite the resident's cognitive intactness and preference to shave independently, the facility's failure to adhere to its policy on razor storage posed an accident hazard.
A resident with respiratory disorders and cognitive impairment did not receive oxygen therapy as prescribed, with observations showing oxygen administered at 2 LPM instead of the ordered 3 LPM. This discrepancy was confirmed by a nurse, highlighting a failure to adhere to the facility's oxygen administration policy.
The facility failed to properly rotate dietary medication supplements, leading to two expired Vanilla Nutritional Drinks being found in the medication storage room. These supplements are used for residents during medication administration. Despite daily checks by nurses and additional checks by the central supply clerk and nursing supervisors, the expired items were not removed. There were 98 residents in the facility at the time.
Failure to Develop and Implement Care Plans
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive care plan for a resident who was at high risk for falls. Despite having a history of falls and severe cognitive impairment, the resident did not have a fall care plan in place. The resident experienced multiple falls, as documented in the nurses' notes, but the MDS Coordinator did not realize that a specific fall care plan had not been developed, which is a requirement according to the facility's policy. Additionally, the facility failed to implement care plan interventions for two residents with wounds. Both residents were under Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) due to their wounds, which required staff to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) including gowns, masks, and gloves. However, during wound care observations, staff members were noted not wearing the required PPE, which was acknowledged as a mistake by the staff involved. This failure to adhere to EBP was confirmed by the wound care nurse and the infection preventionist. The facility's policy mandates the use of PPE for residents under EBP to prevent infection spread, especially for those with wounds. Despite the availability of PPE in the hallway caddy, staff members admitted to forgetting to wear the necessary equipment during care, which was also confirmed by the Director of Nursing. This oversight in implementing the care plan interventions for wound care represents a significant deficiency in the facility's adherence to infection control protocols.
Infection Control Breach: Unlocked Soiled Utility Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement infection control standards and procedures related to the security of Soiled Utility Rooms. During a focused observation, it was found that the three Soiled Utility Rooms in the facility were unlocked. This was confirmed during a tour with the surveyor and the Registered Nurse Infection Control Preventionist, who acknowledged that the rooms were left unlocked during the day. An interview with a Licensed Practical Nurse Supervisor on the first floor revealed that the soiled utility room doors are supposed to remain locked, and staff must request access from the nurses or the supervisor. However, the rooms were observed to be unlocked, indicating a lapse in following the facility's infection prevention and control policy, which mandates maintaining a safe and sanitary environment to prevent the transmission of infections.
Failure to Maintain Safe Environment Due to Improper Razor Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an environment free from accident hazards for a resident, as evidenced by the presence of an electric and a disposable razor on the resident's nightstand. Observations on two consecutive days revealed that the razors remained on the nightstand, despite the facility's policy that razors should be kept by staff at all times. The resident, who is cognitively intact but requires moderate assistance for care, has a history of Parkinson's disease with dyskinesia and Type 2 Diabetes. The resident's care plan indicates a self-care performance deficit and impaired mobility, necessitating assistance with activities of daily living. Interviews with the Director of Nursing and a Certified Nursing Assistant revealed that the resident prefers to shave himself and that his son provided a personal electronic razor due to the resident's use of anticoagulants and risk for bleeding. The CNA stated that razors are typically stored in the supply room and that she checks on the resident to ensure he has finished shaving, removing the razors if left out. Despite these measures, the razors were observed on the nightstand, indicating a lapse in adherence to the facility's policy and procedures regarding maintaining a safe environment.
Oxygen Therapy Not Administered as Prescribed
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident received oxygen therapy as prescribed. During several observations, it was noted that the resident's oxygen was administered at 2 liters per minute (LPM) via nasal cannula, contrary to the physician's order of 3 LPM. This discrepancy was observed on multiple occasions, including when the resident was asleep and awake, with no signs of distress noted. The resident, who was moderately cognitively impaired and dependent on assistance for activities of daily living, had a medical history that included respiratory disorders and respiratory failure with hypoxia. The deficiency was confirmed during an interview and observation with a registered nurse, who acknowledged the discrepancy between the prescribed oxygen rate and what was being administered. The facility's policy on oxygen administration requires that oxygen be administered under a physician's orders, except in emergencies. Despite this policy, the resident's oxygen was not provided at the correct rate, as per the physician's orders, indicating a lapse in adherence to the facility's procedures and protocols for oxygen administration.
Expired Nutritional Supplements Found in Medication Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the proper rotation of dietary medication supplements, resulting in two expired Vanilla Nutritional Drinks being found in the first floor's medication storage room. This was observed during a survey conducted with a Registered Nurse (Staff A), who confirmed that these supplements are used for residents during medication administration, particularly for those who do not want their medications with water. Despite the facility's policy requiring daily checks of medication storage rooms by nurses and additional checks by the central supply clerk and nursing supervisors on Mondays and Fridays, the expired supplements were not identified and removed in a timely manner. At the time of the survey, there were 98 residents residing in the facility.
