Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Fountainbleau Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to provide a safe, clean, and homelike environment, affecting two residents and potentially impacting all residents. Observations revealed strong urine odors, unsanitary shower rooms, and dirty carpets in multiple rooms. Residents expressed dissatisfaction with the conditions, and the Housekeeping Manager admitted that carpet cleaning was not part of the regular cleaning rotation. The Administrator acknowledged the expectation for cleanliness and odor-free rooms.
The facility's pest control program failed to control a fly infestation, affecting residents' comfort and sleep. Observations showed flies in rooms, hallways, and common areas, with residents expressing frustration over the persistent issue. The facility's policy requires an ongoing pest control program, but the problem remained unresolved.
The facility did not follow its background screening policy for three employees, failing to conduct timely Criminal Background Checks (CBC) and Nurse Aide Registry verifications before their employment start dates. This lapse was confirmed by interviews with the Director of Nurses and the Administrator, who expected these checks to be completed upon hire.
Facility Fails to Maintain Clean and Homelike Environment
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment, affecting two residents and potentially impacting all residents. Observations revealed a strong urine odor in the 300 and 400 halls, indicating inadequate sanitation. The south shower room was found with a used razor on the floor, a brown slimy substance around the shower drain, rotten flooring, dirty grout, and a scratched door with chipped paint. Similarly, the north shower room had brown spots on the ceiling, a dirty shower chair with a red substance and flies, used wet linens on the floor, a stained and peeling shower floor, and a detached sink basin. Further observations showed dirt and stains with a musty odor on carpets in multiple resident rooms, and a cracked light fixture with a hole in one room. Interviews with residents revealed dissatisfaction with the carpet conditions, with one resident expressing discomfort walking barefoot and another always wearing shoes to avoid contact with the floor. The Housekeeping Manager admitted that carpet cleaning was not part of the regular cleaning rotation, only addressing it upon complaints or reports. The Administrator acknowledged the expectation for resident rooms to be free from dirt, debris, stains, and odors.
Ineffective Pest Control Program Leads to Fly Infestation
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain an effective pest control program, resulting in a significant fly population affecting both sampled and non-sampled residents. Observations over several days revealed flies buzzing around residents in their rooms, hallways, and common areas, causing discomfort and disturbance. Residents reported that the flies were particularly bothersome, with some resorting to covering their heads with blankets to avoid them. The issue was noted to be more pronounced during warmer months when doors were frequently opened. Interviews with residents and staff highlighted ongoing complaints about the fly problem, with residents expressing frustration over the nuisance and its impact on their comfort and sleep. The facility's pest control policy, revised in July 2023, mandates an ongoing program to keep the building free of insects and rodents, yet the presence of flies persisted. The Housekeeping Supervisor mentioned that the pest control company visits monthly and can come more frequently if needed, but the problem remained unresolved at the time of the survey.
Failure to Conduct Timely Background Checks for New Hires
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its background screening policy for three out of ten employees reviewed, which is a deficiency in ensuring the safety and well-being of residents. The policy requires that Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) licenses be verified through the state registry before individuals can serve as nurse aides or nursing assistants. Additionally, the facility's policy mandates that employment background checks, including Criminal Background Checks (CBC), Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR), and Employee Disqualification List (EDL) checks, be completed prior to the employment start date. However, the facility did not conduct these checks in a timely manner for three employees. Specifically, the personnel file of NA A showed a hire date of December 28, 2023, but the CBC was not conducted until February 23, 2024. Similarly, CNA B was hired on January 2, 2024, but the CBC was delayed until January 5, 2024. Furthermore, the Assistant Director of Nursing (ADON) C was hired on December 26, 2023, but the facility failed to conduct the Nurse Aide Registry check. Interviews with the Director of Nurses and the Administrator confirmed that the facility's expectation was for these checks to be completed upon hire, indicating a lapse in following established procedures.
