Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Good Samaritan Living Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
Surveyors found that the facility failed to accurately code a resident’s Significant Change MDS for a UTI within the last 30 days. The resident had documented diagnoses of UTI in the clinical record and care plan, including a hospital stay with a final active diagnosis of UTI associated with an indwelling urethral catheter. Despite this, the MDS item for UTI in the last 30 days was coded as "No." In interviews, an LPN confirmed the recent UTI diagnosis and that the MDS should have reflected it, and the DON acknowledged that the MDS did not accurately capture the resident’s UTI status.
The facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program. A CNA did not wear proper PPE while caring for a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions, and an LPN did not follow hand hygiene protocols during medication administration to multiple residents.
The facility failed to employ staff with appropriate competencies and skills sets in the food and nutrition service by not having a certified dietary manager on staff. The dietary manager's certification had expired, and no other staff held a certificate or degree for food service or dietary management. The facility administrator acknowledged the issue.
A resident with specific dietary preferences, including a dislike for rice, continued to receive rice despite informing the dietary manager. Observations and interviews confirmed that the resident's preferences were not honored, leading to inadequate meal consumption.
Inaccurate MDS Coding for Recent Urinary Tract Infection
Penalty
Summary
The deficiency involves the facility’s failure to ensure that a resident’s Minimum Data Set (MDS) accurately reflected their clinical status, specifically regarding a urinary tract infection (UTI) within the last 30 days. The resident was admitted with diagnoses including cerebral infarction, UTI, aphasia following cerebral infarction, and hemiplegia/hemiparesis following cerebral infarction. A Significant Change MDS with an Assessment Reference Date of 10/31/2025 coded Section I2300 (UTI in the last 30 days) as "No." However, the resident’s care plan documented a history/diagnosis of UTI, including a diagnosis on 07/01/2025 and another UTI diagnosis associated with a hospital return on 10/15/2025. Further record review showed hospital discharge paperwork for a stay from 10/13/2025 to 10/15/2025 listing a UTI associated with an indwelling urethral catheter as a final active diagnosis dated 10/14/2025. During an interview, an LPN confirmed that the resident had been discharged from the hospital with a UTI diagnosis and that the Significant Change MDS completed on 10/31/2025 should have been coded to reflect a UTI within the last 30 days but was not. In a separate interview, the DON confirmed the expectation that the MDS accurately reflect a UTI on the Significant Change assessment and acknowledged that the resident’s MDS dated 10/31/2025 did not accurately capture this diagnosis.
Infection Control Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an infection prevention and control program, leading to two specific deficiencies. Firstly, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) did not wear proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while providing care for a resident on Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBPs). The resident had a stage 3 pressure ulcer on the left heel, which required the use of gown and gloves during high-contact activities such as transferring the resident. Despite this requirement, the CNA transferred the resident without wearing a gown, indicating a failure to adhere to the facility's infection control policy. Interviews with the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) and the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed that the resident was on EBPs and that the CNA should have worn the appropriate PPE during the transfer. Secondly, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) did not follow proper hand hygiene protocols while administering medications to multiple residents. The LPN failed to use hand sanitizer or wash hands between administering medications to five residents, as observed during a medication pass. This action was in direct violation of the facility's hand hygiene and medication administration policies, which emphasize the importance of hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infections. The LPN confirmed during an interview that she did not perform hand hygiene between medication administrations. The DON also stated that she expected nurses to sanitize or wash hands before and after entering residents' rooms during medication administration.
Lack of Certified Dietary Manager
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to employ staff with appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service by not having a certified dietary manager on staff. The review of the dietary manager's (S7DM) food service management and safety certification revealed it had expired. During an interview, S7DM confirmed that her certification had expired and that neither she nor any other staff in the facility held a certificate or degree for food service or dietary management. The facility administrator (S1ADM) acknowledged the lapse in certification and the lack of qualified staff in the dietary department.
Failure to Honor Resident's Dietary Preferences
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the food items served from the menu met a resident's personal dietary choices. Resident #15, who was admitted with diagnoses including Anorexia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation, Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease without Esophagitis, Vitamin Deficiency, Nausea, and Dysphagia, expressed a preference for mashed potatoes over rice. Despite informing the dietary manager (S7DM) of her preference, Resident #15 continued to receive rice, which she disliked, and this preference was noted on her meal ticket. Observations on two separate days revealed that Resident #15 was served rice, leading her to eat little to none of her meals. Interviews with Resident #15 and staff confirmed that her dietary preferences were not honored. On one occasion, a CNA offered an alternative that was also not preferred by the resident, and no further substitutes were provided. The dietary manager acknowledged that rice should not have been served to Resident #15 and that a preferred substitute should have been provided. The facility administrator stated that it was unacceptable for the resident to receive food items listed as dislikes on her meal ticket.
