Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Gasconade Manor Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility staff failed to maintain the mechanical dishwasher, resulting in ineffective sanitization of dishes due to low water temperatures. Staff did not consistently check temperatures, which were below the required 120°F, and continued using the dishwasher. Additionally, improper food storage practices were observed, including undated and unsealed items, increasing cross-contamination risks.
The facility failed to provide scheduled weekend activities for residents, as confirmed by interviews with two residents and staff. The activity calendar showed no activities on several Sundays, and staff indicated that activities were dependent on nursing staff availability. The Director of Nursing acknowledged the inconsistency, and the administrator confirmed that weekend activities were not listed on the schedule.
Facility staff failed to maintain a medication error rate below 5%, resulting in an 8% error rate. A resident with diabetes did not receive properly administered insulin due to staff not priming the Humalog Kwik Pen as required. Observations and interviews confirmed the oversight, which affected the resident's insulin dosage.
The facility failed to post required nurse staffing information in an accessible location, placing it behind a locked door and omitting essential details like the facility name, census, and total hours worked. Staff interviews confirmed the deficiency, with the RN unaware of the requirements and the DON acknowledging changes to the form. Administrators stated the information should be posted on a dry erase board outside the nurse's station.
Dishwasher Maintenance and Food Storage Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility staff failed to maintain the mechanical dishwasher in good repair, resulting in ineffective washing and sanitizing of dishes, which could lead to cross-contamination. Observations on multiple occasions showed that the Certified Dietary Manager (CDM) and dietary staff did not check the water temperature during the wash and rinse cycles, which were consistently below the manufacturer's recommended minimum of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The CDM and staff were unaware of the low temperatures, and the facility lacked a policy for the use and maintenance of the dishwasher, although staff were trained upon hire. On several occasions, the dishwasher's water temperature was recorded as being below the required 120 degrees Fahrenheit, with temperatures ranging from 110 to 117 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite this, staff continued to use the dishwasher, placing potentially unsanitized dishes on the clean side of the station. Interviews with staff revealed that they were aware of the temperature requirements but continued to use the dishwasher due to operational needs, such as preparing meals for residents. Additional observations in the kitchen revealed improper food storage practices, including undated and improperly sealed food items, which could further contribute to cross-contamination risks. The CDM acknowledged these issues, stating that food should always be dated and sealed properly. The administrator confirmed that staff were responsible for monitoring the dishwasher's condition and temperature, and if issues persisted, they should report them for repairs.
Lack of Scheduled Weekend Activities for Residents
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to provide an ongoing program of activities designed to meet the residents' interests on weekends for two residents out of a sample of two, with a facility census of 61. The facility's policy on resident activities, which is undated, states that activities should enhance residents' well-being and promote their physical, cognitive, and emotional health. The Activity Director is responsible for completing an Activity Assessment within 72 hours of a resident's admission to implement an effective daily activity program. However, a review of the facility's activity calendar for May 2024 showed that no activities were scheduled on several Sundays, and interviews with residents and staff confirmed the lack of scheduled activities on weekends. Interviews with residents revealed dissatisfaction with the absence of weekend activities, as they expressed willingness to participate if activities were offered. Staff interviews, including those with a Certified Medication Technician, a Registered Nurse, and the Director of Nursing, indicated that activities on weekends were not regularly scheduled and were dependent on nursing staff availability. The Director of Nursing acknowledged that activities were not consistently provided on weekends, and the administrator confirmed that weekend activities were not listed on the schedule, leaving residents unaware of available options.
Medication Error Rate Exceeds Acceptable Threshold
Penalty
Summary
The facility staff failed to maintain a medication error rate of less than 5%, resulting in an 8% error rate during the observation period. Out of 25 medication administration opportunities observed, two errors were identified, affecting one resident diagnosed with diabetes who was receiving insulin injections. The errors involved the improper administration of insulin using a Humalog Kwik Pen, where the staff did not prime the pen before administering the insulin, as required by the facility's Insulin Administration Policy. The resident's Physician Order Sheet indicated the use of a Humalog Kwik Pen for insulin administration three times a day, and the Medication Administration Record documented specific instances of insulin administration. However, observations revealed that Certified Medication Technicians failed to prime the insulin pen on two separate occasions, which was confirmed during interviews with the staff involved and the Director of Nursing. The failure to prime the insulin pen could result in the resident not receiving the correct amount of insulin, as acknowledged by the staff and the Director of Nursing.
Inaccessible and Incomplete Nurse Staffing Information
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to comply with state and federal guidelines by not posting the required nurse staffing information in an easily accessible location for residents and visitors. Observations on two consecutive days revealed that the nurse staffing information was placed behind a locked door at the nurse's desk, making it inaccessible. Additionally, the posted information was incomplete, lacking the facility name, resident census, and total hours worked by direct care nursing staff. Interviews with facility staff, including an RN, the Director of Nursing (DON), and the administrators, confirmed the deficiency. The RN was unaware of the required information for the posting, and the DON acknowledged that the form had been changed and moved behind the nurse's station. The administrators confirmed that the posting should include specific details such as the date, facility name, census, and staffing numbers, and should be placed on a dry erase board outside the nurse's station for accessibility.
