Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Bedford Nursing & Rehabilitation Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
A survey revealed that a medication cart contained an expired bottle of Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution, which had been opened beyond the manufacturer's recommended storage period. An LPN confirmed the medication was expired and still in use. The facility's policy requires routine inspections for outdated medications, which are to be destroyed according to their policy.
The facility failed to store and handle food and dishware according to professional standards. Spoiled zucchini and squash were found in the refrigerator, and cheese was improperly wrapped without a date. Wet cups were stacked to air-dry and then used in the dining room. The Food Service Director confirmed these practices, which did not align with the facility's food safety policy or the FDA 2017 Food Code.
The facility did not employ a qualified Infection Preventionist with completed specialized training, despite being responsible for the infection prevention and control program for 86 residents. Staff D, the full-time Infection Preventionist, had not completed the required training, and Staff E, who assisted, also lacked specialized education.
Expired Medication Found on Medication Cart
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure the removal of expired medications from a medication cart, as observed during a survey. On October 1, 2024, at approximately 8:20 a.m., a bottle of Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution 0.005% was found on a medication cart with an open date of August 9, 2024. According to the manufacturer's instructions, the opened bottle should be stored at room temperature for no more than six weeks, indicating that the medication was expired. This finding was confirmed by a Licensed Practical Nurse during an interview at approximately 8:25 a.m. on the same day. A review of the facility's policy on medication storage, revised on April 16, 2024, stated that the pharmacy and medication rooms are routinely inspected by a consultant pharmacist for outdated medications, which are to be destroyed according to the facility's policy on the destruction of unused drugs.
Improper Food and Dishware Storage in Facility Kitchen
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper storage and handling of food and dishware in accordance with professional standards for food service safety. During an observation of the facility's kitchen, a box of zucchini and yellow squash was found in the walk-in refrigerator, exhibiting signs of spoilage such as softness, a clear slime-like substance, clusters of white fuzzy substance, and black discoloration. Additionally, a stack of pre-sliced hard yellow cheese was found half-covered with saran wrap and lacked a date label. These findings were confirmed by the Food Service Director, Staff H, during the observation. Further observations revealed improper handling of dishware, where a dietary aide was seen stacking wet cups to air-dry in a bin. Shortly after, another dietary aide used the same wet cups in the main dining room. Staff H confirmed the practice of stacking wet cups to air-dry and was unable to provide a facility policy on the storage and drying of dishware. A review of the facility's policy on food safety requirements highlighted the need for proper labeling, dating, and storage of refrigerated food, which was not adhered to in this instance. The FDA 2017 Food Code also emphasizes the need for food to be stored in clean, dry locations and for equipment and utensils to be adequately air-dried before use, which was not followed in the facility's practices.
Inadequate Infection Preventionist Training
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to employ a qualified Infection Preventionist who had completed specialized training in infection prevention and control, despite being responsible for the infection prevention and control program for a census of 86 residents. Staff D, who was designated as the full-time Infection Preventionist since January 2024, had not completed the specialized training that began in September 2023. Additionally, Staff E, a Registered Nurse assisting with the infection control and prevention program, also lacked specialized education in Infection Prevention. This deficiency was identified through interviews and record reviews conducted on October 2, 2024.
