Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Eastern Star Masonic Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not consistently document food temperatures for prepared meals and failed to ensure proper storage, labeling, and cleanliness of food and kitchen areas. Observations revealed unlabeled and undated food items, dirty utensils, and significant grime and debris in kitchen and dishwashing areas, despite staff signing off on daily cleaning logs.
A cook prepared pureed turkey burgers and wax beans for residents on a pureed diet but did not include hamburger buns in the mixture, as required by the facility's menu and standard practice. The Dietary Manager confirmed this omission resulted in the meal not meeting nutritional requirements, and there was no policy in place for pureeing food.
Staff failed to follow enhanced barrier precautions for two residents, including not wearing gowns and gloves during wound care and G-tube medication administration. Despite care plans and facility expectations, staff either omitted or forgot to use the required personal protective equipment, as confirmed by both staff interviews and resident statements.
The facility failed to maintain a comfortable environment due to malfunctioning air conditioning, affecting the memory care unit and resident rooms. Observations showed high temperatures, with residents reporting discomfort and difficulty sleeping. Staff attempted temporary solutions, but the issue persisted, with one unit working at half capacity and another non-functional.
A resident with intact cognition and multiple health conditions, including coronary artery disease and diabetes, experienced significant weight gains without appropriate follow-up actions as per a physician's order. The order required staff to assess, re-weigh, and notify the physician if the resident's weight changed by more than 3 pounds in a day or 5 pounds in a week. Despite multiple instances of weight gain, staff failed to comply with these directives, and the Director of Nursing acknowledged the oversight without providing an explanation.
A resident with moderate cognitive impairment was pushed in a wheelchair by a CNA without engaging the foot pedals, contrary to the care plan. The resident's feet were left hanging off the floor, posing a safety risk. Staff interviews confirmed the expectation to use foot pedals for safety, as noted in the care plan cover sheet.
The facility failed to follow the prescribed menu for 18 residents, providing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead of the specified meal. This deviation was confirmed by multiple staff members.
The facility failed to date and label open food items in the kitchen's coolers and walk-in freezer. Staff were unable to verify the contents or duration of storage for these items, and the Assistant Dietary Manager confirmed the items should have been dated and labeled when opened.
Failure to Maintain Food Safety and Kitchen Sanitation Standards
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain food safety standards by not consistently documenting food temperatures for meals prepared in the main kitchen. Review of temperature logs over a four-month period showed that only a small fraction of meals had recorded food temperatures, despite the facility's policy requiring such documentation before food is sent to satellite kitchenettes. The Dietary Manager confirmed that staff were not following the established procedure for recording food temperatures. Additionally, the main kitchen was observed to have multiple issues with food storage, labeling, and cleanliness. Several food items in the walk-in cooler and freezer were found uncovered, unlabeled, or undated, including containers with unidentifiable contents and open bags of lettuce and cheese. Serving utensils and squirt bottles had visible dried food residue, and there was significant debris, dust, and grime on the floors and equipment surfaces in both the main kitchen and dish machine room. These findings were acknowledged by the Dietary Manager, and review of cleaning logs indicated that staff had signed off on daily cleaning tasks that were not completed as required by facility policy.
Failure to Prepare Pureed Foods According to Nutritional Requirements
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to properly prepare pureed foods to meet the nutritional needs of residents on a pureed diet. During lunch service, a cook prepared pureed turkey burgers and wax beans but did not add hamburger buns to the pureed mixture, which is a standard industry practice and required by the facility's diet spreadsheet menu to ensure adequate nutrition. The Dietary Manager confirmed that the omission of buns meant the menu was not followed as written and the nutritional content of the meal was not met. Additionally, the facility did not have a policy outlining the process for pureeing resident food.
Failure to Follow Enhanced Barrier Precautions During Resident Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement appropriate infection prevention practices by not adhering to enhanced barrier precautions (EBP) for two residents. For one resident with a history of a pressure ulcer, seizure disorder, and osteoporosis, the care plan did not mention EBP, and during an observed treatment of a left heel pressure ulcer, the registered nurse did not apply EBP prior to the procedure. The resident confirmed that staff had only recently started using gloves and gowns, and the nurse admitted to forgetting to wear the required EBP during the treatment. The co-director of nursing stated that the expectation is for staff to wear EBP when providing care or treatments. For another resident with a history of stroke, hemiplegia, and a G-tube, the care plan documented the need for EBP. However, during an observed medication administration via G-tube, two staff members sanitized their hands and applied gloves but did not wear gowns as required. One staff member acknowledged knowing the protocol but stated she forgot to wear the gown. The director of compliance confirmed that the expectation is to wear both gown and gloves for EBP during such procedures.
Facility Fails to Maintain Comfortable Environment Due to Air Conditioning Issues
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a comfortable environment and safe functional equipment, specifically regarding the air conditioning system, affecting the memory care unit and resident rooms. Observations revealed that the thermostat in the conference room leading to the memory care unit was at 83.2°F, and the hallway outside a resident's room was at 82.1°F. Interviews with staff and family members indicated that the air conditioning had been malfunctioning for an extended period, with temperatures reaching up to 85°F at the beginning of the summer. Staff attempted temporary solutions such as using fans and portable devices, but these measures were insufficient to maintain a comfortable environment. Residents reported discomfort due to high room temperatures. One resident's room was observed at 87.3°F, and the resident expressed that it had been as high as 91°F, making it difficult to sleep. Another resident's room was consistently warm, with temperatures often in the 80s, and the resident reported discomfort and difficulty sleeping. The facility's administration acknowledged the issue, noting that one air conditioning unit was working at half capacity while another was non-functional, and they were in the process of obtaining bids for replacement units.
Failure to Follow Physician's Order for Daily Weight Monitoring
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to a physician's order for a resident requiring daily weight monitoring. The order specified that if the resident's weight changed by more than 3 pounds in one day or 5 pounds in one week, staff were to assess, re-weigh, notify the provider and family, and document the change in the nurse's notes. However, multiple instances of significant weight gain were recorded without any follow-up actions, such as re-weighing, assessment, or notification to the physician. These discrepancies were noted over several months, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with the physician's order. The resident involved had a BIMS score indicating intact cognition and had multiple diagnoses, including coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and chronic ischemic heart disease. The resident's electronic health record also documented an increase in bilateral lower extremity edema over the same period. Interviews with staff, including a registered nurse and the Director of Nursing, confirmed awareness of the daily weight order but acknowledged the lack of appropriate follow-up actions. The Director of Nursing could not provide an explanation for the failure to address the weight discrepancies.
Failure to Ensure Safe Wheelchair Transport
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the safe transport of a resident in a wheelchair, leading to a deficiency. Resident #17, who has moderate cognitive impairment and multiple diagnoses including non-traumatic brain function and non-Alzheimer's dementia, was observed being pushed in a wheelchair by Staff C, a CNA, without the foot pedals engaged. The resident's feet were hanging approximately one inch off the floor as Staff C pushed him down the hallway. This action was contrary to the resident's care plan, which required the use of foot pedals for safety during wheelchair transport. Interviews with staff revealed that although Resident #17 is mostly independent in propelling himself, staff occasionally assist him. Staff D, another CNA, acknowledged that the resident sometimes removes the foot pedals and that staff should retrieve and use them for safety. The Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the expectation that foot pedals should be engaged when staff assist the resident in his wheelchair. The facility's Master Pocket Care Plan cover sheet also indicated that foot pedals must be used when pushing a resident in a wheelchair, but the facility lacked a specific policy on wheelchair assistance, relying instead on state regulations and the care plan cover sheet.
Failure to Follow Prescribed Menu
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to follow the prescribed menu for 18 of 18 residents in the unit on the evening of January 25, 2024. The menu specified an open-face hot turkey sandwich, mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, brown sugar peaches, cottage cheese, and milk. However, it was observed that the evening nurse provided a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead. This deviation from the menu was confirmed by the assistant Dietary Manager, the Director of Quality Improvement, and the Director of Nursing during interviews conducted on April 9, 2024. The facility's census at the time was 72 residents, and the failure to adhere to the menu was documented as a deficiency in the clinical records and staff interviews.
Failure to Date and Label Food Items in Kitchen Storage
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that open items in the coolers and walk-in freezer in the kitchen were properly dated and labeled. During an observation on 4/8/24 at 11:35 a.m., several items were found without dates or labels, including a half-opened bag of mild cheddar cheese in Cooler #2, a clear pitcher with brown liquid, and a container with round brown items in Cooler #1, and a half bag of brown, round items in the walk-in freezer. Additionally, a tin container with small, round brown/gray items in the cook's cooler was also not dated or labeled. Staff interviews confirmed the lack of proper dating and labeling, with both the Dietary Aide and the cook unable to verify the contents or duration of storage for these items. The Assistant Dietary Manager acknowledged that the items should have been dated and labeled when opened.
