Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Residences At Vantage Point during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility was found to have multiple deficiencies in food safety and equipment maintenance, including improper food storage, malfunctioning refrigeration units, and inadequate dishwashing sanitization. Staff lacked awareness of proper protocols, and management was not fully informed of these issues, indicating a lack of oversight.
A privacy breach occurred when an unattended monitor displayed resident images and medical record numbers in a hallway. A GNA acknowledged the issue, and the DON confirmed the concern, instructing the GNA to secure the monitor. The Executive Director was informed, and the issue was discussed during the exit conference.
The facility failed to timely report injuries of unknown origin for two residents. One resident sustained a hematoma after sliding from a wheelchair, and the incident was not reported until a hip fracture was later identified. Another resident's shoulder dislocation was reported nearly 23 hours after x-ray confirmation. The facility's reporting and investigation processes were found lacking, contributing to the deficiencies.
A resident sustained a hip fracture and a hematoma after falling from a wheelchair, but the facility failed to conduct a thorough investigation. The incident was reported as an injury of unknown origin, yet no comprehensive investigation file was maintained. The facility's documentation lacked a detailed root cause analysis, and options for an abuse investigation were not selected.
A facility failed to conduct quarterly care plan meetings for a resident, as required. The resident, admitted in June 2024, did not recall being invited to any meetings and expressed a desire to attend one. A review of the medical record showed no evidence of a care plan meeting after the initial one in June. The Health Center Social Worker confirmed the oversight, acknowledging that the resident should have had a meeting in September.
An LPN failed to follow infection control practices during medication administration, including not sanitizing hands after handling a dropped medication bottle and before administering medications to residents. Additionally, used syringes were improperly discarded in a sharps container.
Deficiencies in Food Safety and Equipment Maintenance
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to professional standards for food service safety, as observed during a surveyor's inspection. The surveyor noted multiple instances of improper food storage, including unlabeled and undated food items, as well as expired products that were not discarded. The walk-in refrigerator and freezer contained various food items that were either improperly labeled or not labeled at all, with some items showing signs of spoilage. Additionally, the temperature gauges on the refrigeration units were not functioning correctly, leading to discrepancies in recorded temperatures and actual conditions inside the units. The dishwashing system was also found to be deficient, with the machine operating below the required temperatures for effective sanitization. The facility was using a chemical sanitizing mode due to a failed booster heater, but the chemical concentration was not consistently tested or recorded, and when tested, it was found to be below the required levels. The temperature logs for the dishwasher consistently showed that the minimum required temperatures were not met, and there was no documentation of corrective actions taken to address these issues. Furthermore, the facility's staff demonstrated a lack of awareness and understanding of proper food safety protocols. Interviews with dietary staff revealed that there was no consistent practice for monitoring food temperatures during preparation and serving. The facility's management, including the Administrator and Dining Services Director, were not fully aware of the ongoing issues with the kitchen equipment and food safety practices, indicating a lack of oversight and communication within the facility's operations.
Privacy Breach of Resident Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain the privacy of protected health information for 11 out of 21 residents during a recertification/complaint survey. Surveyors observed an unattended and unlocked monitor screen in the resident hallway displaying photo images and medical record numbers of 11 residents. This occurred on 12/11/24 at 3:13 PM. Geriatric Nursing Assistant (GNA) #12 was identified on the screen, and upon being informed by surveyors, acknowledged the issue and closed the screen. The Director of Nursing (DON) was also informed and confirmed the concern, instructing GNA #12 to lock the monitor screen. The Executive Director was made aware of the issue on 12/13/24, and the concern was reiterated during the facility's exit conference.
Failure to Timely Report Injuries of Unknown Origin
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to timely report an injury of unknown origin to the Office of Health Care Quality, as evidenced by two incidents involving Resident #220. In the first incident, the resident was found on the floor after sliding out of a wheelchair, sustaining a hematoma to the forehead. Despite the severity of the injury, the facility did not report the incident to the Office of Health Care Quality until several weeks later, when a hip fracture was identified. The facility's Administrator acknowledged that they do not keep investigation files for every fall and only report incidents when injuries are involved, which led to the delay in reporting. In the second incident, the facility delayed reporting an acute anterior humeral head dislocation for another resident. The resident complained of left hand pain, and an x-ray confirmed the dislocation. However, the facility did not report the injury to the Office of Health Care Quality until nearly 23 hours after receiving the x-ray results. The delay in reporting was noted by the surveyor, who found that the facility's self-report was sent the day after the injury was identified. Both incidents highlight the facility's failure to adhere to timely reporting requirements for injuries of unknown origin. The lack of immediate reporting and investigation into these incidents raises concerns about the facility's processes for identifying and addressing potential abuse or neglect. The surveyor's review of the facility's documentation and interviews with the Administrator revealed gaps in the facility's reporting and investigation procedures, contributing to the deficiencies identified during the survey.
Failure to Investigate Injury of Unknown Origin
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to conduct a thorough investigation for an injury of unknown origin involving a resident who sustained a hip fracture. The incident was initially reported as an injury of unknown source to the Office of Health Care Quality. The resident had a fall from their wheelchair, which was documented in a nursing progress note. The note indicated that the resident was found face down in front of the wheelchair with a hematoma on the left side of the forehead. Despite the severity of the injury, the facility did not maintain a comprehensive investigation file for this incident. During interviews, the facility's Administrator acknowledged that no separate investigation file was kept for the fall, and the incident was not reported to the Office of Health Care Quality as an injury of unknown origin. The risk meeting documentation provided was insufficient, lacking a detailed root cause analysis or evidence of how the interdisciplinary team reached their conclusions. The facility's incident report marked the event as an alleged fall, unattended, but did not select options for an abuse investigation or ruling out abuse, further indicating a lack of thorough investigation into the incident.
Failure to Hold Quarterly Care Plan Meetings
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to hold care plan meetings at least quarterly for a resident, as required. This deficiency was identified during a recertification/complaint survey. The resident, admitted in June 2024, reported not recalling being invited to any care plan meetings and expressed a desire to attend one. A review of the resident's medical record showed no evidence of a care plan meeting after the initial one in June. The Health Center Social Worker confirmed that residents should have quarterly care plan meetings and acknowledged missing the September meeting for this resident. Despite searching through various records, no documentation of a subsequent care plan meeting was found.
Infection Control Lapses During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
During a recertification/complaint survey, it was observed that the facility failed to adhere to proper infection control practices during medication administration. An LPN was seen dropping a medication bottle on the floor and subsequently placing it back in the medication cart without sanitizing it or their hands. The same LPN administered medications to a resident and left the room without sanitizing their hands, then proceeded to take another resident's blood pressure. Additionally, the LPN handled a water pitcher and administered medications to another resident without sanitizing their hands after setting up a new computer on the medication cart. Furthermore, two used syringes were found in the top part of a sharps container on the medication cart, accessible due to the lever not being pulled to discard them properly.
