Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Parkside Post Acute And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Staff failed to ensure PTAC unit filters and grills were free of debris in two resident rooms, with gray, fuzzy debris observed on filters and additional debris on a grill. The Maintenance Director confirmed responsibility for PTAC upkeep and acknowledged the deficiency, while the Administrator stated that filters should be cleaned monthly and at resident transitions.
Surveyors identified multiple lapses in infection control, including a respiratory therapist performing tracheostomy care without sterile gloves, improper storage of CPAP masks for two residents, a nurse failing to sanitize shared wound care supplies, personal items stored on clean linen carts, and an LPN entering a contact precautions room without proper PPE. Staff interviews revealed gaps in training and policy awareness regarding infection prevention procedures.
A resident with multiple sclerosis, muscle weakness, and lack of coordination experienced harm due to unreported critical urinalysis results. Despite complaints of painful urination and suspected UTI, the abnormal results indicating a severe urinary tract infection were not communicated to the physician. The resident was subsequently hospitalized for 11 days with urosepsis and acute renal failure. Facility policies required prompt notification of changes in medical condition, but there was no evidence of physician notification or treatment orders. Staff interviews revealed a lack of documentation and accountability, with the DON attributing issues to a change in laboratory providers and ongoing process improvement efforts.
A resident with multiple sclerosis and muscle weakness experienced a severe UTI that was not promptly treated despite abnormal urinalysis and culture results. The facility did not inform the physician or initiate treatment, resulting in the resident's hospitalization for UTI and acute renal failure. Communication lapses between the nursing staff and the NP were identified as contributing factors.
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for three residents with specific needs, including PTSD, dementia, and smoking. Despite documented diagnoses and assessments, the care plans did not address these issues, and staff members acknowledged the oversights but could not explain why the care plans were not developed.
The facility failed to ensure the environment was free from potential accident hazards. One resident was found with an electrical power strip in her bed, despite the facility's policy prohibiting extension cords. Another resident had an unlabeled spray bottle of cleaning solution left in her room. Staff acknowledged the risks but did not report or address the issues promptly.
Failure to Maintain Clean PTAC Filters and Grills in Resident Rooms
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a clean and homelike environment by not ensuring that the Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner (PTAC) unit filters and grills were free of debris in specific resident rooms. Observations in two rooms (A9 and A8) revealed gray, fuzzy debris on the PTAC filters, and additional debris was found on the grill in one of these rooms. The facility's policy requires that PTAC filters be inspected and cleaned or replaced at least every three months, and the grill should also be cleaned during this process. However, the observed filters and grill had not been maintained according to this policy. Interviews with the Maintenance Director confirmed that he was solely responsible for the inspection, cleaning, and upkeep of all PTAC units in the facility. He acknowledged the presence of debris on the filters and grill in the affected rooms and stated that proper maintenance was essential for resident comfort, air quality, and infection control. The Administrator also confirmed that filters were to be cleaned monthly and at resident admission or discharge, and noted that unclean filters could compromise air quality, particularly for residents with respiratory issues.
Multiple Lapses in Infection Control Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain appropriate infection control practices in several instances, as observed and documented by surveyors. During tracheostomy care for a resident with chronic respiratory failure and severe cognitive impairment, a respiratory therapist used non-sterile gloves instead of sterile gloves while performing suctioning, contrary to both facility policy and physician orders that required aseptic technique. The therapist acknowledged the error, and the Director of Nursing confirmed that this was an unacceptable practice. In another instance, a nurse placed a hand sanitizer bottle back into a plastic bag after wound care without sanitizing the outside of the bottle or the bag, then transported it to a wound care cart in the hallway. This action did not follow proper infection control procedures for handling shared medical supplies. Additionally, two residents' CPAP masks were found improperly stored: one inside a cluttered nightstand drawer with personal items and debris, and another on a dusty chair without protective covering, both in violation of manufacturer guidelines and facility policy for respiratory equipment storage. Further deficiencies included the storage of personal items, such as a staff cell phone, inside a clean linen cart, with staff interviews revealing a lack of awareness or training regarding linen cart contents. There was also an incident where an LPN entered a room under contact precautions for MRSA pneumonia wearing only gloves and no gown, despite signage and facility expectations requiring full PPE. Staff interviews confirmed gaps in training and policy awareness related to both linen cart use and adherence to isolation precautions.
Failure to Notify Physician of Critical Lab Results Leads to Resident Hospitalization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to notify the physician and responsible party for a change in condition for resident R660, who experienced harm due to critical urinalysis lab results not being reported. R660 was admitted with diagnoses including multiple sclerosis, muscle weakness, and lack of coordination. Despite R660 complaining of painful urination and suspected UTI, abnormal urinalysis results indicating a severe urinary tract infection were not communicated to the physician. Subsequently, R660 was hospitalized for 11 days with urosepsis and acute renal failure. The facility's policies required prompt notification of changes in a resident's medical condition to the attending physician and responsible party. However, there was no evidence that R660's physician was informed of the critical lab results or that orders were received for treatment. Interviews with staff revealed a lack of documentation and accountability regarding notifying the physician of abnormal lab results. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the failure to locate documentation related to physician notification and orders, attributing issues to a change in laboratory providers and ongoing process improvement efforts.
Delayed UTI Treatment Leads to Hospitalization
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and care for a resident (R660) with a severe urinary tract infection (UTI). Despite abnormal urinalysis and culture results indicating a UTI, the facility did not seek medication for treatment. This led to R660 being admitted to the hospital for 11 days with a UTI and acute renal failure. The resident had multiple sclerosis, muscle weakness, and lack of coordination upon admission to the facility. Documentation revealed that R660 complained of painful urination on 12/9/2023, prompting a plan for urinalysis with culture and sensitivity if indicated. However, there was a delay in obtaining and acting upon the abnormal UA and C/S results, which showed significant bacterial presence. The facility did not inform the physician of the laboratory results or initiate treatment for the UTI promptly. R660's condition deteriorated with increasing body temperature, culminating in her transfer to the hospital due to a change in condition related to elevated temperature on 12/16/2023. Interviews with the Director of Nursing (DON) and Nurse Practitioner (NP) GG confirmed the lapses in communication and action regarding R660's abnormal UA & C/S results. NP GG expressed that if informed promptly, she would have provided orders for treatment to prevent any delay in addressing the UTI.
Failure to Develop Comprehensive Care Plans for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop comprehensive care plans for three residents with specific needs. Resident 108, who was admitted with diagnoses including anxiety disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and PTSD, did not have a care plan addressing PTSD despite displaying symptoms such as agitation, irritability, and hypervigilance. The mental health note documented the resident's traumatic experiences, but the care plan did not reflect these needs. The Assistant MDS Coordinator and Social Worker both acknowledged the absence of a PTSD care plan but could not explain why it was not developed. Resident 116, admitted with dementia and adjustment anxiety disorder, also lacked a comprehensive care plan for dementia. The resident's MDS assessment indicated moderate cognitive impairment and feelings of depression, yet these were not addressed in the care plan. The Assistant MDS Coordinator and Social Worker confirmed the oversight but could not provide a reason for the missing care plan. Resident 126, who had a smoking assessment and signed a smoking contract, did not have a care plan for smoking. The MDS Coordinator and Activities Director both confirmed that the activities department was responsible for developing smoking care plans but acknowledged that this was overlooked. The Director of Nursing expected a smoking care plan to be developed and noted that there was no specific staff member to ensure all necessary areas were addressed in the resident care plans.
Failure to Ensure Environment Free from Accident Hazards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the environment was free from potential accident hazards, specifically involving two residents. One resident, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, hypertension, muscle weakness, pulmonary embolism, and chronic pain, was observed with an electrical power strip lying in her bed. Despite the facility's policy prohibiting extension cords, the power strip was used to power multiple devices. The resident and a CNA were aware of the potential fire risk, but the issue was not reported to a supervisor, and no work order was found in the electronic maintenance system. The Assistant Director of Nursing and the Director of Nursing confirmed that the power strip should not have been in the bed and should have been removed immediately. Another resident, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, chronic systolic congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dementia with behavioral disturbances, and generalized anxiety disorder, was found with an unlabeled spray bottle of cleaning solution in her room. The cleaning solution, identified as Rapid Multi-Surface Disinfectant Cleaner, was left unattended by a housekeeper who was rushing to clean the floor. The CNA and the Licensed Practical Nurse Unit Manager acknowledged that the cleaning solution should not have been left in the room. The Director of Environmental Services and the Administrator confirmed that cleaning chemicals should never be left in a resident's room unattended. The facility's failure to adhere to its policies regarding the use of electrical power strips and the proper storage of cleaning chemicals resulted in potential accident hazards. The staff's inaction in reporting and addressing these issues promptly contributed to the deficiencies observed. The facility did not have a specific policy related to electrical power strips or a comprehensive policy addressing accidents and hazards, relying instead on a newsletter to communicate the prohibition of extension cords.
