Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Clifton Heights during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not maintain a sanitary environment, as evidenced by ongoing pest activity including cockroach carcasses and residue in resident rooms, dining, and common areas. Staff interviews confirmed persistent pest sightings despite a pest control contract and regular treatments. Key staff were aware of the infestation, but pest issues continued to be observed.
A resident requiring tracheostomy care did not receive treatment according to professional standards when an LPN failed to maintain sterile technique and did not properly oxygenate the resident between suction passes. The LPN used a contaminated hand during the procedure and did not provide rest periods or assess respiratory tolerance, resulting in a breach of infection control and care protocols.
Failure to Prevent and Control Pest Infestation in Resident Care Areas
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a sanitary and safe physical environment to prevent the presence of pests within resident care areas. Observations during environmental rounds revealed insect carcasses, identified as cockroaches, in a resident room, the dining area, and the common area. Additional evidence of pest residue was found in multiple resident rooms. Interviews with staff confirmed ongoing pest activity, with one CNA reporting daily sightings of roaches in specific rooms over the previous month and noting that residents were aware of the infestation. Another staff member acknowledged pest presence in common areas, though not directly in resident rooms. Record review showed that the facility had a pest control policy in place, with a local contractor providing monthly and as-needed treatments. However, the most recent documented treatment was on 09/19/2025, and pest activity persisted despite these interventions. The Maintenance Director confirmed the existence of a pest control contract but was unaware of pest issues in resident or common areas. The DON acknowledged awareness of pest infestations but stated she was not directly involved in pest control. The Administrator also confirmed the pest control contract and recognized the potential for pests to transmit diseases to residents.
Failure to Provide Safe and Sterile Tracheostomy Care
Penalty
Summary
A resident with a tracheostomy, impaired cognition, and multiple medical diagnoses was observed receiving tracheostomy care that did not adhere to professional standards, the resident's care plan, or facility policy. During the procedure, an LPN failed to maintain sterile technique by using her designated 'dirty' hand to adjust the resident's oxygen and then used the same hand to open a bottle of normal saline, contaminating the sterile field. The LPN then poured the saline into the tracheostomy care kit without recognizing the breach in sterility. Additionally, the LPN did not oxygenate or hyper-oxygenate the resident between suction passes, as required by evidence-based procedures, and performed three consecutive suction passes without providing rest periods or assessing the resident's respiratory tolerance. The LPN acknowledged during an interview that she broke sterile field and did not follow proper oxygenation procedures, attributing her actions to nervousness and lack of experience, having only started three weeks prior. The facility's policy and infection control procedures were not followed during the tracheostomy care, and the LPN did not set up a clean working area or barrier for the sterile procedure. Interviews with other nursing staff confirmed knowledge of the correct procedures and the importance of restarting the process if sterility is compromised.
