Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Miller's At Oak Pointe during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with a history of falls and cognitive impairment was placed on a position changing alarm device in bed and wheelchair without a physician or NP order, and without documentation or monitoring of the device's use, despite facility policy requiring both. Staff interviews confirmed the device was implemented after a fall, but no order or monitoring was in place.
The facility failed to ensure proper food safety and hygiene practices, affecting all residents. Leftover chicken patties were not properly labeled, and a black residue was found in the ice machine. A Dietary Aide did not perform hand hygiene before donning gloves and used the same glove for multiple tasks, contrary to policy. The Dietary Manager acknowledged these issues.
The facility failed to secure medications and treatment supplies, leaving a resident with unattended pills, another with rubbing alcohol at the bedside without a physician's order, and improperly labeled insulin vials. Insulin was administered beyond the 28-day period after opening, contrary to facility policy.
Failure to Obtain Order and Monitor Use of Position Changing Alarm Device
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a position changing alarm device, used as a physical restraint for fall prevention, was properly ordered and monitored for a resident identified as being at risk for falls. Observations showed the resident had a position changing alarm in both her bed and wheelchair, but there was no physician or nurse practitioner order for the device, nor was there documentation of monitoring its use or effectiveness. Interviews with staff, including the CNA, DON, and Unit Manager, confirmed that the alarm was implemented after the resident experienced an unwitnessed fall, but none were aware that an order or ongoing documentation was required. The facility's own policy stated that an order and monitoring were necessary for such devices. Record review revealed that the resident had diagnoses including traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, secondary malignant neoplasm of bone, and vascular dementia, with a moderately impaired mental status. The care plan identified a risk for falls and included monitoring changes in gait and positioning, but did not specifically address the use or monitoring of the alarm device. Nursing notes and orders from the relevant period did not mention the alarm or its monitoring, despite a note indicating the resident had turned off the alarm multiple times. The lack of an order and monitoring for the restraint device constituted the deficiency.
Food Safety and Hygiene Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper food safety and hygiene practices in the kitchen, affecting all 52 residents who consumed food prepared there. During a kitchen tour, it was observed that leftover chicken patties were not properly labeled, as the date on the bag was unreadable. The Dietary Manager acknowledged that staff should ensure dates are readable on leftover items, as per the facility's policy on food protection and storage. Additionally, a black residue was found on the inside white shield of the ice machine, which serves all residents. The Licensed Practical Nurse was unsure of the residue's nature, and the Maintenance staff indicated that the ice machine was supposed to be cleaned monthly, contrary to the observed condition. Furthermore, during food preparation, a Dietary Aide failed to perform hand hygiene before donning gloves and continued to use the same glove for multiple tasks without changing it, as required by the facility's glove policy. The Dietary Aide was observed touching various surfaces and food items with the same glove, and at one point, used his bare hand to touch leftover puree and licked his finger. The Dietary Manager acknowledged the issues with gloving and hand hygiene, which were not in compliance with the facility's handwashing policy that mandates hand hygiene during food preparation to prevent cross-contamination.
Medication and Treatment Supply Handling Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the secure handling and administration of medications and treatment supplies for several residents. In one instance, a resident was observed with a cup containing multiple pills left unattended in her room, which she intended to take at her own discretion. The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) responsible admitted to leaving the pills with the resident and planned to return to ensure they were taken. The facility's policy clearly stated that staff should remain with residents until medications are swallowed, which was not followed in this case. Another deficiency was noted when a bottle of rubbing alcohol was found at a resident's bedside without a physician's order or staff awareness. The resident indicated that her family had brought the alcohol for personal use, but the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that such items should be stored securely to prevent accidental consumption. The facility's policy required potentially harmful substances to be stored in a locked area, which was not adhered to in this situation. Additionally, the facility did not properly label and discard insulin vials as per their policy. Insulin vials for two residents were either not labeled with an open date or were used beyond the 28-day period after opening. The DON acknowledged that insulin should be marked with an open date and discarded after 28 days, but this procedure was not followed, leading to the administration of potentially expired insulin to a resident.
