Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Kansas Christian Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A resident with significant medical conditions, including non-weight bearing status and an above-the-knee amputation, was injured when staff failed to follow the care plan for transfers. Instead of using a slide board as instructed, staff performed a stand and pivot transfer, resulting in fractures to the resident's right lower leg. The facility's policy for safe lifting and movement was not adhered to, leading to this deficiency.
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in food storage and preparation areas, risking potential foodborne illness. Observations included unsealed bags of rice and flour, expired and undated food items, and improper storage of frozen foods. Kitchen equipment was found dirty, and a floor cleaning machine was stored near clean items. Dietary staff confirmed these issues, violating the facility's food storage policy.
The facility did not conduct annual performance reviews for two CNAs/CMAs, with one evaluation 22 months overdue and another 19 months overdue. Administrative Staff D confirmed the requirement for annual evaluations, but the facility lacked a policy to ensure completion, impacting care for all residents.
The facility failed to serve food at safe and palatable temperatures, as multiple residents reported receiving cold meals. Observations revealed that dietary staff did not consistently monitor or record food temperatures, with items like broccoli and cheesecake served at unsafe temperatures. The facility's electronic temperature monitoring system was unsatisfactory, leading to reliance on a paper system that also failed to ensure proper temperature maintenance.
A resident admitted with conditions such as chronic subdural hemorrhage and muscle weakness did not have a comprehensive person-centered care plan developed within the required timeframe. The care plan was delayed due to oversight by a previous MDS nurse, leading to potential uncommunicated needs and negative impacts on the resident's well-being.
A resident with a history of cerebral infarction, diverticulitis, and anemia experienced true weight loss, which was not addressed in their care plan. Despite physician orders for supplements and snacks, the care plan lacked documentation of these interventions. Facility staff confirmed the oversight, acknowledging the failure to update the care plan as required by policy.
A resident with a history of cerebral infarction and moderate cognitive impairment experienced significant weight loss, but the facility failed to obtain daily weights as ordered by the physician. Despite the order being in place since late March, daily weights were not documented until early June. This oversight in monitoring potentially affected the resident's physical well-being, as staff interviews revealed inconsistencies in documentation and understanding of the care plan.
Failure to Follow Care Plan Results in Resident Injury
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to protect a dependent resident from harm when staff did not follow the resident's care plan, which instructed the use of a slide board for transfers. On the day of the incident, a Licensed Nurse (LN) and a Certified Medication Aide (CMA) assisted the resident, who was in a wheelchair, to use the restroom. Despite the care plan's instructions, the staff performed a stand and pivot transfer instead of using the slide board, resulting in the resident sustaining fractures in her right lower leg. The resident had a history of significant medical conditions, including diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and a recent surgery on her right ankle due to a fracture. She was non-weight bearing on her right extremity and had an above-the-knee amputation on her left extremity. The care plan specified that the resident required total assistance for transfers and toileting, with the use of a mechanical lift initially, later revised to include a slide board for transfers. During the transfer, the staff heard a popping sound, and the resident complained of pain. An X-ray later confirmed that the resident had sustained a closed, comminuted, non-displaced tibial fracture and a distal fibular fracture. The facility's investigation revealed that the staff did not adhere to the care plan, which led to the resident's injury. The facility's policy for safe lifting and movement of residents was not followed, resulting in the deficiency.
Sanitation Deficiencies in Food Storage and Preparation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain sanitary conditions in food storage, preparation, and serving areas, which could lead to potential foodborne illness among residents. Observations revealed several issues, including unsealed bags of rice and flour in the dry goods pantry, an opened container of teriyaki sauce past its expiration date, and a gallon of Worcestershire sauce without an opened or expiration date. Additionally, frozen food was improperly stored directly on the floor of the walk-in freezer. Dietary staff confirmed that these items should have been placed on shelves. Further inspection during an environmental tour uncovered more concerns, such as an unidentified piece of meat in the refrigerator dated several weeks prior, and various expired food items, including thousand island dressing and salsa. The refrigerator also contained undated, wilted, and discolored lettuce. The kitchen equipment was found to be in poor condition, with a dirty oven, a grimy can opener, and a scratched fry pan. A floor cleaning machine was improperly stored near clean serving pans and storage containers. Dietary staff acknowledged these issues, which were in violation of the facility's food receiving and storage policy.
Failure to Conduct Annual Performance Reviews for CNAs/CMAs
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct annual performance reviews for two out of five Certified Nurse Aide/Medication Aides (CNA/CMA) reviewed, which is necessary to ensure residents receive adequate care. Specifically, the employment records showed that one CNA/CMA, hired in 1995, had their last performance evaluation 22 months past due, and another, hired in 2018, had their last evaluation 19 months past due. Administrative Staff D confirmed that CNAs/CMAs employed for more than a year should have annual evaluations, but the facility lacked a policy to ensure these evaluations were completed. This deficiency was identified through observation, interviews, and record reviews, affecting the care provided to all residents in the facility.
Failure to Maintain Safe and Palatable Food Temperatures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that food and drink were served at safe and palatable temperatures, as required by their policy. Multiple residents reported receiving cold meals, with one resident specifically mentioning that meals served in their room were usually cold. Observations revealed that dietary staff did not consistently monitor or record food temperatures before serving. For instance, broccoli was served at 132 degrees Fahrenheit without prior temperature checks, and cheesecake was left unrefrigerated, reaching temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which is above the safe limit of 42 degrees Fahrenheit. Further observations showed that food items like cut carrots and ground chicken were served at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, below the required 135 degrees Fahrenheit. The facility's electronic temperature monitoring system was reportedly unsatisfactory, leading staff to use a paper recording system, which also failed to ensure proper temperature maintenance. A test tray confirmed that scrambled eggs and hash browns were served at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which was not hot enough, as confirmed by both dietary staff and surveyors. The facility's policy required potentially hazardous foods to be maintained at specific temperatures, which was not adhered to, resulting in the deficiency.
Failure to Timely Develop Comprehensive Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to develop a comprehensive person-centered care plan for a resident, identified as R35, within the required timeframe. R35 was admitted with diagnoses including nontraumatic chronic subdural hemorrhage, muscle weakness, and repeated falls. The resident's Admission Minimum Data Set (MDS) indicated intact cognition, minimal depression, and a need for limited assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). However, the comprehensive care plan was not completed within 21 days of admission, as required by the facility's policy. The care plan was only completed in November 2023, several months after the resident's admission, due to oversight by a previous MDS nurse who was no longer employed at the facility. Observations and interviews revealed that R35 was occasionally incontinent of bladder and required assistance with ambulation and toileting. Despite these needs, the care plan documentation was lacking, with no baseline care plan found in the Electronic Health Record (EHR). Staff interviews confirmed that the care plan was essential for understanding the care required by residents. The delay in developing a comprehensive care plan had the potential to lead to uncommunicated needs, which could negatively impact the resident's physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being.
Failure to Revise Care Plan for Resident's Weight Loss
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to review and revise the care plan for a resident, identified as R1, regarding weekly weights and interventions to prevent further weight loss. R1 had a history of cerebral infarction, diverticulitis, and anemia, and was noted to have a stable weight according to the Nutritional Care Area Assessment (CAA) dated 12/14/23. However, by 07/02/24, it was identified that R1 had experienced a true weight loss, which was not due to fluid shifts. Despite this, the care plan dated 07/02/24 did not include interventions for weight loss, such as monitoring weekly weights or documenting the consumption of supplements and snacks ordered by the physician. Interviews with facility staff, including Administrative Nurse E and Dietary Staff BB, confirmed that the weight loss and necessary interventions were not included in R1's care plan. The facility's policy requires that comprehensive, person-centered care plans be developed and revised as residents' conditions change, but this was not adhered to in R1's case. The lack of documentation and revision of the care plan for R1's weight loss was acknowledged by the staff, indicating a failure to communicate and address the resident's changing needs effectively.
Failure to Monitor Resident's Weight as Ordered
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to obtain daily weights for a cognitively impaired resident, identified as R1, who had an order for daily weights due to a significant weight loss. The resident had a history of cerebral infarction, diverticulitis, and anemia, and was noted to have moderately impaired cognition. Despite the physician's order for daily weights starting on 03/28/24, the facility did not document any daily weights until 06/07/24, which was a significant delay in monitoring the resident's weight. The resident experienced a notable weight loss, with records indicating a decrease of 16 pounds since 03/13/24, and further weight loss was documented in subsequent months. The resident's weight fluctuated significantly, with a documented weight of 161.2 lbs on 04/07/24, dropping to 138.0 lbs by 07/01/24. The facility's failure to adhere to the physician's order for daily weights potentially compromised the resident's physical well-being, as the weight loss was not adequately monitored or addressed in a timely manner. Interviews with facility staff revealed inconsistencies in the documentation and understanding of the resident's care plan. Licensed Nurse H and Administrative Nurse E acknowledged the oversight in daily weight documentation and the lack of a clear physician order for weekly weights. Additionally, the facility did not provide a policy regarding weight loss and adherence to physician orders, further highlighting the deficiency in the resident's care management.
