Health deficiencies cited at Pinnacle Health & Rehab At South Portland during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility's Quality Assurance Committee failed to ensure the effectiveness of a Plan of Correction for a previously identified deficiency related to infection control. The deficiency, cited under F880, involved the failure to maintain and implement an infection control program. During a follow-up survey, the same issue was identified, indicating ineffective corrective measures. This was confirmed in an interview with the Administrator and DON.
An LPN failed to follow the facility's COVID-19 PPE protocol by entering a COVID-19 positive resident's room wearing only an N-95 mask, contrary to the policy requiring full PPE. Despite clear signage and available PPE, the LPN believed it was unnecessary for a brief visit. This was confirmed in an interview with the surveyor, and the requirement for full PPE was reiterated by the DON and Infection Preventionist.

LPN Fails to Follow COVID-19 PPE Protocol
Penalty
Summary
A staff member, identified as LPN#1, failed to adhere to the facility's Infection and Prevention Policy, specifically the update dated 7/18/24, which is designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the facility. On 7/30/24, a surveyor observed LPN#1 entering a room of a COVID-19 positive resident wearing only an N-95 mask, without the full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required by the facility's policy. The policy mandates that staff must wear an N-95 mask, eye protection, gown, and gloves when entering the room of a COVID-19 positive resident. Despite a sign on the door indicating respiratory precautions and the availability of PPE in a cabinet nearby, LPN#1 did not don the full PPE, believing it was unnecessary for a brief visit. This was confirmed in an interview with the surveyor after LPN#1 exited the room. The Director of Nursing and the Infection Preventionist confirmed the requirement for full PPE in such situations during an interview with the surveyor.
