Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Morrison Nursing Home during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to ensure dietary staff used hair restraints and properly labeled and stored food, as observed when a dietary aide handled food without a hair net and several food items in the kitchen lacked use-by dates. This violated facility policies and FDA Food Code standards.
The facility failed to properly store and label medications in two medication carts. Unlabeled medicine cups with medications for two residents were found, and a nurse admitted to leaving personal medication on a cart. Additionally, cups with Miralax were left unattended on a cart, violating the facility's medication policies.
The facility did not follow its policy for labeling and dating food items brought in by visitors for residents. In the B wing kitchenette, several food items were found without labels indicating resident names or dates. The Dietary Manager confirmed these items were not provided by the facility and were not labeled as required by the facility's policy.
A facility failed to implement proper infection control measures, as observed when a staff member did not wear a gown during high-contact care for a resident with pressure wounds and an indwelling catheter, despite Enhanced Barrier Precautions signage. Another staff member did not perform hand hygiene between glove changes during a dressing change. These actions were contrary to facility policies and CDC guidelines.
The facility failed to submit complete and accurate PBJ staffing data for Q4 2024, missing RN hours on several dates and lacking 24-hour Licensed Nursing coverage on numerous occasions. The Administrator confirmed the timely submission was rejected due to an invalid format.
Deficiency in Food Safety Practices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure that dietary staff adhered to professional standards for food safety, specifically regarding the use of hair restraints and proper labeling and storage of food. During an observation, a dietary aide was seen portioning fruit salad without wearing a hair restraint, despite having long hair. The aide admitted to not being instructed to use a hair net while handling food. This was in direct violation of the facility's policy, which mandates that all food handlers wear effective hair restraints to prevent contamination. Additionally, an inspection of the main kitchen refrigerator revealed several food items, including a chicken salad sandwich, lobster salad, cottage cheese, and three bean salad, that were not labeled with use-by or preparation dates. This oversight was confirmed by the dietary manager and contravened the facility's policy requiring all prepared food items to be dated. The lack of proper labeling and dating poses a risk of foodborne illness, as it does not comply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Food Code, which mandates a date marking system for food safety.
Medication Storage and Labeling Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to ensure proper storage and labeling of medications in two out of three observed medication carts. During an observation, an unlabeled medicine cup with a tablet was found on the A Wing medication cart, which a registered nurse admitted was their personal medication. Another observation on the [NAME] Wing medication cart revealed two unlabeled medicine cups containing pills and a transdermal patch, which were confirmed to be the morning medications for two residents. The medications included various prescriptions such as Aspirin, Omeprazole, and Levetiracetam for one resident, and Rosuvastin, Losartan, and a Rivastigmine transdermal patch for the other resident. Further observations revealed that the A Wing medication cart was left unattended with two cups containing Miralax mixed with water. A registered nurse confirmed that these cups were left unattended on the cart. The facility's policy on medication administration and storage requires medications to be administered at the time they are prepared and to remain in containers that meet labeling requirements. These observations indicate a failure to adhere to the facility's medication administration and storage policies, leading to the deficiency.
Failure to Label and Date Visitor-Brought Food
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to adhere to its policy regarding the labeling and dating of food items brought in by visitors for residents. During an observation of the B wing kitchenette, it was noted that several food items, including two prepackaged pepperoni sticks, an unopened can of Low Sodium V-8 juice, a prepackaged pulled pork mac-n-cheese bowl, and two packages of ice cream sandwiches, were not labeled with resident names or dates. This observation was confirmed through an interview with the Dietary Manager, who acknowledged that these items were not provided by the facility and were not labeled as required. The facility's policy, revised in November 2017, mandates that food brought by family or visitors must be labeled and stored in a manner that distinguishes it from facility-prepared food.
Failure to Implement Infection Control Measures
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to implement proper infection prevention and control measures, specifically in the areas of hand hygiene and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). During an observation, a Licensed Nursing Assistant (Staff D) was seen exiting a resident's room after providing a shower and dressing the resident without wearing a gown, despite signage indicating the need for Enhanced Barrier Precautions (EBP). Staff D admitted to being unaware of the requirement to wear a gown during high-contact care activities for the resident, who had two pressure wounds and an indwelling catheter. Additionally, a Licensed Practical Nurse (Staff E) was observed changing the dressing of the same resident without performing hand hygiene between glove changes. This was confirmed by Staff E during an interview. The facility's policies on isolation and wound care, as well as CDC guidelines, clearly outline the necessity of wearing gowns and performing hand hygiene during such procedures to prevent the spread of infections, particularly in residents with wounds and indwelling medical devices.
Incomplete PBJ Staffing Data Submission
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to submit complete and accurate Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) staffing data for Fiscal Year Quarter 4, 2024. Specifically, the facility did not report Registered Nurse (RN) hours on multiple dates throughout July, August, and September 2024. Additionally, the facility did not maintain Licensed Nursing coverage 24 hours a day on numerous dates during the same period. An interview with the Administrator confirmed that although the PBJ file was submitted on time, it was rejected due to an invalid format. The review of the CMS Electronic Staffing Data Submission Payroll-Based Journal Long-Term Care Facility Policy Manual highlighted the requirement for accurate and complete staffing information submissions, which the facility failed to meet.
