Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Winthrop Health And Rehabilitation during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to document controlled medication shift counts properly, missing nurse signatures on narcotic shift count sheets for two medication carts over several months. Interviews with nursing staff and the DON confirmed the deficiency, attributing it to nurses being in a hurry. This oversight could lead to missing medications, as the accountability process was not followed.
The facility failed to properly store opened food items, affecting 67 residents receiving an oral diet. Observations showed several food items in the walk-in refrigerator, freezer, and dry storage area were not labeled, dated, or securely wrapped. Additionally, two bags of shredded hash browns were found on the floor of the freezer. The CDM confirmed these deficiencies, acknowledging that staff were expected to follow proper storage protocols.
A facility failed to implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during wound care and high-contact ADL for a resident with a stage three pressure ulcer. The Infection Preventionist/Wound Care Nurse and a CNA did not wear gowns as required, despite being aware of the guidelines and the availability of PPE. The Director of Nursing confirmed the necessity of following EBP to prevent infection transmission.
Deficient Documentation of Controlled Medication Counts
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper documentation of controlled medication shift counts, as required by their policy titled 'Pharmacy Services, Controlled Substance Medication Accountability.' This policy mandates that controlled medications be tracked from receipt through administration and that a physical inventory be conducted by two licensed nurses at each shift change. The inventory is to be documented on a 'Controlled Drug Sheet Audit Report,' with both nurses confirming and signing off on the count. However, the report found that nurse signatures were missing from the narcotic shift count sheets on two nurse medication carts over several months. Specifically, the narcotic shift count sheet for Unit 1 was missing multiple nurse signatures for the months of February, March, April, May, and June 2024. The missing signatures included both on-duty and off-duty nurses across various shifts, indicating a lack of compliance with the facility's policy. Similarly, Unit 2's narcotic shift count sheet was missing signatures for two shifts in June 2024. Interviews with nursing staff, including an LPN and an RN, confirmed the absence of signatures and acknowledged that nurses should sign the count sheet at the beginning and end of their shifts. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the deficiency, attributing the missing signatures to nurses being in a hurry and neglecting to sign the document. This oversight in documentation could potentially lead to missing medications, as the controlled medication accountability process was not being followed as intended. The facility's failure to adhere to its own policy for controlled substance medication accountability was evident in the repeated absence of required nurse signatures on the narcotic shift count sheets.
Improper Food Storage in Facility
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly store opened food items in the walk-in refrigerator, walk-in freezer, and dry storage area, which had the potential to affect all 67 residents receiving an oral diet from the kitchen. Observations revealed several instances of non-compliance with the facility's policy on food storage. In the walk-in refrigerator, an opened five-pound bag of grated parmesan cheese was found securely wrapped but without an open date. In the walk-in freezer, a clear plastic bag containing breaded shrimp, an opened bag of hot dogs, hash brown patties, and a brown bag of French fries were all found without labels or open dates, and not securely wrapped. Similarly, in the dry storage area, an opened bag of spaghetti noodles, yellow cake mix, and penne pasta were found without open dates and not securely closed. Additionally, two bags of shredded hash browns were observed on the floor of the walk-in freezer, contrary to the facility's policy that food items should be stored off the floor and on shelves. The Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) confirmed these observations and acknowledged that the dietary staff were expected to securely wrap, label, and date opened food items before storage. The CDM also noted that the bags of shredded hash browns must have been accidentally knocked off the shelf.
Failure to Implement Enhanced Barrier Precautions
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that nursing staff implemented Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP) during wound care and high-contact Activities of Daily Living (ADL) for a resident requiring such precautions. The facility's policies outlined the need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including gowns and gloves, during high-contact care activities to prevent the transmission of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO). However, during an observation, the Infection Preventionist/Wound Care Nurse provided wound care to a resident with a stage three pressure ulcer without wearing a gown, despite being aware of the requirement. Additionally, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) assisted the same resident with incontinent care, dressing, personal hygiene, and transferring without wearing a gown, even though she acknowledged the need to do so due to the resident's condition. Both staff members confirmed their awareness of the EBP guidelines and the availability of PPE, yet failed to adhere to the protocols. The Director of Nursing also confirmed that staff should follow EBP guidelines and acknowledged that the failure to do so could lead to increased infection rates among residents.
