Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Alliance Health At Marina Bay during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A nurse in an LTC facility made seven medication errors out of 40 opportunities, resulting in a 17.5% error rate, affecting a resident with a history of seizure disorder, COPD, and anxiety. The nurse administered incorrect doses of Buspar, Neurontin, and Tylenol, and failed to administer prescribed inhalers and Lidocaine patches. The facility's policy on medication administration was not followed.
The facility failed to maintain food safety and sanitation standards, as observed in multiple nourishment kitchenettes with unclean microwaves and improperly labeled food items. Staff interviews revealed unclear responsibilities for maintaining cleanliness and proper labeling, contributing to the deficiencies.
A resident was not informed or involved in their baseline care plan within 48 hours of admission, as required by facility policy. Despite the facility's process for an interdisciplinary team (IDT) meeting, the resident reported not having such a meeting or receiving a care plan summary. Staff interviews and document reviews revealed discrepancies, including inaccurate documentation and failure to adhere to the required timeframe, leading to the resident's exclusion from the care planning process.
Two residents in a LTC facility experienced deficiencies in care and medication administration. One resident did not receive the required one-to-one assistance during meals, despite an active physician's order. Another resident received incorrect medication doses, and several medications were not administered as ordered, with errors documented in the MAR. Staff interviews revealed a lack of adherence to facility policies and physician orders.
The facility failed to properly label and store medications, including a vial of Lantus insulin that lacked an opening date and expiration date, and lorazepam stored in a non-permanently affixed box in a refrigerator. The insulin was found in a medication cart without proper labeling, and the controlled substance box was not secured as required by policy.
The facility failed to serve meals at safe and appetizing temperatures, as confirmed by resident feedback and test trays. Residents reported concerns about cold food, and test trays showed that several food items were not within appropriate temperature ranges. The Dietitian acknowledged the issue, noting that trays should not be delivered on a pushcart to maintain proper temperatures.
A nurse in an LTC facility failed to follow infection control protocols during a medication pass for a resident with Type II Diabetes. The nurse handled spilled tablets with bare hands, did not perform hand hygiene before or after administering medications and insulin injections, and failed to wear gloves during injections. These actions were against the facility's policies and posed a risk of cross-contamination.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds Acceptable Threshold
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a medication error rate below five percent, as evidenced by one nurse making seven errors out of 40 opportunities, resulting in a 17.5% error rate. These errors affected one resident, who was observed to have received incorrect doses of Buspar, Neurontin, and Tylenol. Additionally, the nurse failed to administer Anoro Ellipta, Fluticasone Propionate, Ipratropium Bromide, and Lidocaine patches as prescribed. The facility's medication administration policy requires reviewing the five rights three times, checking the Medication Administration Record (MAR) for orders, and verifying the label against the MAR order, which were not adhered to in this instance. The resident involved had a medical history that included seizure disorder, joint replacement of the right shoulder, COPD, and anxiety. During the medication administration, the nurse mistakenly gave the nighttime dose of Buspar, administered an incorrect dose of Neurontin, and failed to replace a dropped Tylenol tablet. The nurse also did not administer the inhalers and patches, citing the resident's refusal and the presence of a shoulder brace as reasons. The Assistant Director of Nursing expressed that the expectation is for nurses to administer medications as ordered by the physician.
Deficiencies in Food Safety and Sanitation Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards of food safety and sanitation, which could potentially lead to the spread of foodborne illness among residents. Observations made by the surveyor revealed that nourishment kitchenettes across multiple units were not maintained in a clean and sanitary condition. Specifically, microwaves in the Cityside, Harborside One, Harborside Two, and Seaport Units were found with food residue and splatter, and some had peeling and burnt plastic. Additionally, refrigerators contained food items that were not properly labeled or dated, such as grapes and soup without resident identification, and a Styrofoam container and a candy bar with no date or resident identification. Interviews with staff indicated a lack of clarity and execution in responsibilities related to maintaining cleanliness and proper labeling in the nourishment kitchenettes. Dietary Staff #2 mentioned that stocking dietary items was her responsibility, while Housekeeping Staff #1 stated that she was responsible for cleaning the microwaves and refrigerators. The Dietitian confirmed that the equipment should be clean and in good working condition, and that food items should be labeled with the resident's name and date. However, the observations made by the surveyor indicated that these standards were not being consistently met, leading to the identified deficiencies.
Failure to Involve Resident in Baseline Care Plan
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that a resident, identified as Resident #303, was informed of and actively participated in their baseline plan of care within the first 48 hours following admission. The facility's policy requires a baseline care plan to be developed within 48 hours of admission, involving an interdisciplinary team (IDT) meeting with the resident to discuss individual goals and plans. However, Resident #303 reported not having a meeting with the IDT or being offered a summary of their care plan or initial goals during their short-term stay. Interviews and document reviews revealed discrepancies in the facility's documentation and process. The case manager stated that the IDT should meet with each resident within two days of admission, but Resident #303 did not have a signed baseline care plan summary in their record. The Unit Manager (UM) and Social Worker (SW) attempted to provide Resident #303 with a care plan summary form, insisting that a meeting had occurred on a specific date, which the resident disputed. The resident's roommate corroborated that no meeting took place on the claimed date, as Resident #303 was out of the facility for a significant portion of that day. Further interviews with staff, including the Director of Nurses (DON) and a consultant, confirmed that the baseline care plan process was not followed as expected. The staff acknowledged that the dates on the care plan form were inaccurate and that the resident was not involved in the process within the required timeframe. The facility's failure to adhere to its policy and regulatory requirements resulted in Resident #303 not being informed or involved in their care planning process as intended.
Deficiencies in Care and Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to meet professional standards of care for two residents, leading to deficiencies in the administration of care and medication. For one resident, the facility did not adhere to the physician's order for one-to-one assistance during oral intake. Despite the order being active, the resident was observed eating alone multiple times, without the required supervision. The staff, including CNAs and the unit manager, were either unaware of the order or did not follow it, resulting in the resident consuming meals without the necessary assistance. The speech-language pathologist confirmed the need for supervision, but the order was not updated or followed until after the surveyor's inquiry. Another resident experienced deficiencies in medication administration. The nurse failed to follow the standard procedure of verifying the five rights and three checks, leading to incorrect doses of medications being administered. Additionally, several medications were not given as ordered, and the nurse documented them as administered in the Medication Administration Record (MAR). The nurse admitted to errors in medication preparation and documentation, including administering the wrong dose of Buspar and Neurontin, and failing to provide the correct amount of Tylenol. The resident's refusal of certain medications was not documented, and the nurse incorrectly signed off on the MAR. Interviews with the nursing staff, including the Assistant Director of Nursing and the Director of Nursing, revealed that the facility's expectations for medication administration were not met. The nurse did not notify the physician of the medication errors or complete a medication error form. The facility's policies on medication administration and physician orders were not followed, leading to these deficiencies in care and documentation.
Medication Storage and Labeling Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that all medications were stored and labeled according to accepted professional principles. Specifically, one of the deficiencies involved a multidose vial of Lantus insulin that was not labeled with the date it was opened or the new expiration date. This vial was found in a medication cart without its packaging box, and the nurse responsible was unaware of when it had been opened. The Director of Nursing, Administrator, and Consulting Staff confirmed that the insulin should have been labeled with the date it was opened and its expiration date, as it is only effective for 28 days after opening. Another deficiency was observed in the storage of a schedule IV controlled substance, lorazepam, in a medication room refrigerator. The controlled substance was stored in a locked box that was not permanently affixed to the refrigerator, as required by the facility's policy. Although the box was double locked, it could be removed from the refrigerator because the shelf it was attached to was not secured. The nurse acknowledged the issue and mentioned that maintenance had been asked multiple times to fix it, but they were unable to do so. Consulting Staff confirmed that the policy required the box to be permanently affixed, but it was not due to the refrigerator being locked instead.
Deficiency in Meal Temperature and Palatability
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that meals were prepared and served at safe and appetizing temperatures, as evidenced by resident and staff interviews, observations, and meal test trays conducted by surveyors. During a Resident Council Meeting, all 14 residents present expressed concerns about receiving cold food across all mealtimes. A review of the Resident Council Meeting Minutes from June also indicated similar concerns about food temperatures. These issues were further substantiated by test trays conducted on two separate occasions, which revealed that food items were not within appropriate temperature ranges. On one occasion, a lunch test tray on the Harborside Two Unit showed that the sweet and sour chicken was served at 138.8°F, while mixed vegetables and rice were significantly below the expected temperature, being cold to taste. Strawberries and milk were also served at inappropriate temperatures, with the milk being too warm. Similarly, a breakfast test tray on the Cityside Unit revealed that oatmeal and a muffin were served at cool temperatures, and the milk was again too warm. The Dietitian confirmed that the meal temperatures were not within appropriate ranges and noted that trays should not be delivered on a pushcart, as this could contribute to the temperature issues observed.
Infection Control Deficiency During Medication Pass
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement proper infection prevention and control measures during a medication pass for a resident diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. Nurse #1 was observed preparing and administering medications without adhering to the facility's hand hygiene policy. Specifically, Nurse #1 spilled two tablets onto the medication cart, picked them up with bare hands, and placed them back into the medication cup. This action was contrary to the facility's policy, which requires discarding contaminated medications. Additionally, Nurse #1 did not perform hand hygiene before entering the resident's room or after administering medications and insulin injections. The nurse also failed to wear gloves while administering insulin injections, which is a requirement to prevent contact with bodily fluids. These actions were observed by the surveyor and confirmed during interviews with the nurse, the Assistant Director of Nurses (ADON), and the Director of Nursing (DON). The ADON and DON both stated that the facility's expectations were not met, as medications touched with bare hands should be discarded, and hand hygiene should be performed before and after medication administration. Gloves are also required for injections to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. The failure to follow these infection control guidelines resulted in a potential risk of cross-contamination and transmission of infections.
