Health deficiencies cited at Western State Nursing Facility during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility did not maintain a QAA committee with the required members, as the Medical Director or their representative did not attend quarterly meetings.

The ADON attempted to invite the Medical Director via email and postal mail, but no confirmation was received. The Administrator was surprised by the Medical Director's lack of awareness and misunderstood the regulatory requirement for their participation.
A facility failed to maintain an effective infection control program during wound care for a resident with a Stage IV pressure wound. An LPN did not follow proper hand hygiene protocols and contaminated clean dressings by placing a trash bag near them. The LPN also improperly handled the resident's gastric tube cap. Interviews with facility staff indicated an expectation for adherence to handwashing and wound care policies, which were not followed.
Failure to Include Medical Director in QAA Committee Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a Quality Assessment and Assurance (QAA) committee with the required members, specifically the Medical Director or their representative. The facility's policy mandates that the QAA committee must include the Administrator, Director of Nursing (DON), a Physician, Infection Preventionist, and three facility staff, and meet at least quarterly. However, the Medical Director had not attended any of the quarterly meetings, either in person or through alternative methods like videoconferencing or teleconference calls. The Administrator acknowledged that the Medical Director had been provided with the results of the meetings and made recommendations as needed, but had not been present at the meetings. Interviews revealed a lack of communication and understanding regarding the Medical Director's role in the QAA committee. The Medical Director was unaware of the QAA committee and the QAPI program, stating he had not received any invitations or information about the meetings. The Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) claimed to have emailed the Medical Director for the last quarterly meeting and sent postal invitations for the previous two meetings, but no confirmation of attendance was received. The Administrator expressed surprise at the Medical Director's lack of awareness and acknowledged a misunderstanding of the regulatory requirement for the Medical Director's participation in the meetings.
Infection Control Deficiency in Wound Care
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to establish and maintain an effective infection prevention and control program, as evidenced by the actions of a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) during wound care for a resident with multiple diagnoses, including a Stage IV pressure wound. The LPN did not adhere to proper hand hygiene protocols, as she failed to wash her hands after removing dirty gloves and before donning clean ones. Additionally, she contaminated clean dressings by placing a trash bag on the clean table beside the dressings and solution, and further contaminated the wound care area by placing used items in the trash bag that was in close proximity to the clean supplies. The resident involved had a history of cognitive impairment and other health issues, including an eating disorder and chronic schizophrenia. During the wound care procedure, the LPN also improperly handled the resident's gastric tube cap by securing it to the IV fluid pole, which was not a clean area. Interviews with the Infection Control Registered Nurse, Director of Nursing, and the Administrator revealed that there was an expectation for staff to follow handwashing and wound care policies, which were not adhered to in this instance.
