Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at St Anthony Community Care Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure proper food storage and labeling, as opened food items were found without labels or dates. Hand hygiene practices were inadequate, with a staff member using a trashcan without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene. Additionally, the ice machine was not maintained in a sanitary condition, with black and crusty substances found inside, and the ice was still used for resident consumption.
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene during wound and incontinence care, and did not promptly decontaminate a blood spill. An ADON did not perform hand hygiene between handling soiled and clean dressings, and two CNAs did not change gloves or wash hands during incontinence care. Additionally, an LPN cleaned blood from a resident's bleeding foot but left a trail of blood spots in the hallway unaddressed, contrary to facility policy.
A resident with a Stage 3 pressure ulcer did not receive the prescribed care, as heel boots were not applied while in bed, contrary to physician orders. Observations over several days showed the resident's heels in direct contact with the bed, and staff interviews confirmed the oversight.
A resident's medications, including a multivitamin and liquid protein supplement, were found unsecured and unattended on their bedside table over several days. Interviews revealed that the medications had been left unsecured since the end of September, with an LPN aware of the issue but not reporting it due to being new. Another LPN confirmed that medications should be secured, indicating a breach in the facility's policy.
The facility failed to report a resident's elopement and delayed reporting missing narcotics. A resident with dementia was found outside the facility unsupervised, and the incident was not reported to the state survey agency. Additionally, 60 Percocet pills were reported missing, but the facility delayed reporting this to the state survey agency.
Deficiencies in Food Storage, Hand Hygiene, and Ice Machine Sanitation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper food storage and labeling practices, as observed during a survey. An opened package of cooked sliced meat was found in an unsealed bag without a label or date in the reach-in cooler. Additionally, several opened containers of seasonings in the kitchen preparation area lacked opened dates. The Food Service Manager confirmed these items were not labeled or dated as required by the facility's policy. Furthermore, the facility's hand hygiene practices were inadequate. A trashcan in the kitchen preparation area had a manually opening lid, and a staff member was observed using the trashcan without changing gloves or performing hand hygiene afterward. The facility also failed to maintain its ice machine in a sanitary condition. A black substance was found inside the ice compartment, which the Food Service Manager wiped away with a paper towel. The ice machine was not cleaned after this observation, and further inspections revealed a grey and white crusty substance and black flaky substance in the ice compartment. The ice machine had not been emptied or cleaned, and the ice was still being used for resident consumption. The Administrator and Director of Nursing acknowledged the presence of the foreign substance and agreed that the ice should be discarded, and the machine cleaned before further use.
Infection Control Deficiencies in Hand Hygiene and Blood Spill Management
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper hand hygiene during wound care and incontinence care, as well as timely decontamination of a blood spill. During an observation, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) did not perform hand hygiene between removing a soiled dressing and cleaning a wound on a resident with a pressure ulcer, contrary to the facility's policy. The ADON acknowledged the failure to adhere to the policy. Additionally, two Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) did not change gloves or perform hand hygiene while providing incontinence care to a resident with severe cognitive impairment and a sacral pressure ulcer, despite the facility's policy requiring hand hygiene after contact with residents and before moving from a contaminated to a clean body site. Furthermore, the facility did not promptly address a blood spill in a hallway. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) cleaned blood from the floor near a resident's bleeding foot but failed to clean a trail of blood spots down the hallway. Staff, a resident, and a family member walked over or around the blood spots without being alerted to the hazard. The facility's policy requires blood spills to be cleaned and decontaminated as soon as practical, but this was not followed, leading to potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Failure to Implement Pressure Ulcer Treatment Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to a resident's pressure ulcer treatment plan as per physician's orders. Resident #19, who was admitted with Alzheimer's Disease, Peripheral Vascular Disease, and a need for assistance with personal care, had a Stage 3 pressure ulcer on the right heel. The treatment plan included the use of heel boots while in bed to prevent further injury. However, observations on multiple occasions revealed that the resident's heels were in direct contact with the bed surface, and the heel boots were not applied as ordered. Interviews with staff, including an LPN and the Director of Nursing, confirmed the non-compliance with the treatment plan. The LPN was unaware that the heel boots were still ordered, and CNAs failed to apply the boots after providing care. This lack of adherence to the prescribed treatment plan was observed over several days, indicating a systemic issue in following physician orders for pressure ulcer care.
Unsecured Medication Storage in Resident's Room
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all medications were stored securely, as evidenced by the unsecured and unattended medications found in a resident's room. Specifically, a bottle of Centrum Silver Men 50+ Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement and Pro-Stat Concentrated Liquid Protein were observed on the bedside table of a resident on multiple occasions. These observations were made on three separate days, indicating a consistent failure to adhere to the facility's policy of storing all drugs and biologicals in locked compartments. Interviews with the resident and nursing staff revealed that the medications had been left unsecured since the end of September 2024. The resident confirmed that the nursing staff administered these supplements to him every morning but left them unattended. A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) acknowledged awareness of the issue but did not report it due to being new to the facility. Another LPN confirmed that residents were not allowed to keep medications unsecured and unattended, highlighting a breach in the facility's medication storage policy.
Failure to Report Elopement and Missing Narcotics
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to report an episode of elopement involving a resident diagnosed with dementia and severe cognitive impairment. The resident was found outside the facility on a ramp leading to a nearby store. Despite the resident's condition making it unsafe for her to leave unsupervised, the incident was not reported to the state survey agency as required. Both the Director of Nursing (DON) and the Administrator confirmed the elopement and acknowledged the failure to report it to the appropriate authorities. Additionally, the facility did not report an allegation of missing narcotics within the required 24-hour timeframe. A night shift nurse reported that 60 Percocet pills prescribed to another resident were missing from the medication cart. The facility's documentation showed that the incident was reported to the state survey agency several weeks later, well beyond the 24-hour requirement. The DON confirmed the delay in reporting the missing medication.
