Citation history
Health deficiencies cited at Mystic Meadows Rehabilitation And Nursing Center during CMS and state inspections, most recent first.
The facility failed to maintain proper food safety and sanitation practices, including inaccurate temperature logs, insufficient sanitizer levels, and unclean equipment. Additionally, nourishment rooms and refrigerators were not maintained at appropriate temperatures, and staff hygiene practices were inadequate.
A facility failed to provide the required SNF ABN and NOMNC to a resident discharged from Medicare Part A services. Despite the resident remaining in the facility, the necessary notices were not issued, as the resident did not want to participate in therapy. The facility's policy mandates these notices when Medicare services end, but they were not provided in this instance.
A facility failed to accurately document medical records for a resident, leading to a deficiency. The resident, with diagnoses including cramp, spasm, and chronic pain, had an indwelling urinary catheter and scheduled medications. The TAR and MAR showed multiple unsigned physician orders for catheter flushes and medication administration. Interviews with staff revealed inconsistencies in documentation, with the Interim LNHA admitting to performing catheter flushes without proper documentation. The primary MD emphasized the importance of following orders to prevent complications. The facility's policy required documentation, but the MAR and TAR contained blanks, resulting in a deficiency.
An LPN failed to perform proper hand hygiene during medication administration, as observed by a surveyor. The LPN did not wash hands after removing gloves following blood pressure measurement and medication administration for a resident. Interviews with the LPN/Unit Manager and LPN/Infection Preventionist confirmed the requirement for hand hygiene before and after glove use, as per the facility's policy.
Food Safety and Sanitation Deficiencies
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to handle potentially hazardous food and maintain kitchen sanitation, as evidenced by several observations. The dish machine's wash cycle gauge was broken, and the temperature was recorded manually. However, the temperature logs were pre-filled for lunch service before it occurred, indicating inaccurate record-keeping. Additionally, the sanitizer level in the three-compartment sink was insufficient, and the test strip procedure was not followed correctly, leading to potential sanitation issues. In the food preparation area, several pieces of equipment were not properly cleaned or maintained. A meat slicer had debris on its base, a mixer was left uncovered, and a can opener had a dried brown substance on its blade. Furthermore, a container of vanilla frosting was not labeled with an opening or use-by date, and leftover meatloaf in the refrigerator was not fully covered. The juice machine gun was also found with a brown substance, indicating inadequate cleaning practices. The facility's nourishment rooms and refrigerators were not maintained at appropriate temperatures, with expired and unlabeled food items present. A refrigerator was found at 70 F, holding potentially hazardous foods, and a microwave was heavily soiled. Staff hygiene practices were also lacking, with improper use of hair restraints and handwashing procedures. Logs for dishwashing and sanitation were filled in prematurely, compromising the accuracy of temperature and sanitizer levels.
Failure to Issue Required Beneficiary Notices
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to issue the required Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice (SNF ABN) and Notice of Medicare Non-Coverage (NOMNC) for a resident who was reviewed for Beneficiary Protection Notification. The resident began receiving Medicare Part A services and was later discharged from these services. However, the facility did not provide the necessary beneficiary notices when the resident was discharged from Medicare Part A services, despite the resident remaining in the facility. The Regional Director of Case Management acknowledged that the resident should have received these notices, but they were not issued because the resident did not want to participate in therapy. Interviews with the Director of Social Services and the Director of Rehabilitation revealed that the facility's process involves reviewing residents on Medicare Part A services during weekly Utilization Review meetings. The Social Worker is responsible for issuing the NOMNC and setting the discharge date. However, in this case, the resident's progress notes did not indicate that the resident initiated a discharge from Medicare Part A services, nor were the SNF ABN or NOMNC notices provided. The facility's policy requires these notices to be issued when Medicare-covered services are ending, regardless of whether the resident is leaving or remaining in the facility.
Deficiency in Documentation of Medical Records
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to accurately document medical records for a resident, identified as Resident #248, which led to a deficiency. The resident had diagnoses including cramp and spasm, urinary tract infection, and chronic pain, and was noted to have an intact cognition with a BIMS score of 15 out of 15. The resident's care plan included the use of an indwelling urinary catheter and scheduled pain medications. However, the Treatment Administration Record (TAR) and Medication Administration Record (MAR) showed multiple instances where the physician's orders were not signed as completed, indicating a lack of documentation for catheter flushes and medication administration. Interviews with facility staff, including a CNA, LPN, LPN/UM, DON, and the Interim LNHA, revealed inconsistencies in the documentation process. The CNA was unsure if nurses were required to flush the catheter, while the LPN and LPN/UM acknowledged the importance of following physician orders and documenting catheter flushes in the TAR. The DON and Interim LNHA also recognized the significance of documentation, with the Interim LNHA admitting to performing catheter flushes without signing off on the TAR or writing progress notes, attributing the oversight to being busy during the holidays. The primary MD for the resident confirmed the necessity of flushing the catheter due to the resident's history of blood in it, emphasizing the importance of following the physician's order to prevent complications. Despite the facility's policy requiring documentation of medication administration and treatments, the MAR and TAR contained blanks, indicating that the required actions were not documented. The facility's failure to ensure proper documentation of medical records for Resident #248 resulted in a deficiency, as acknowledged by the DON and Interim LNHA.
Failure to Perform Proper Hand Hygiene During Medication Administration
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to practice proper hand hygiene during medication administration, as observed by a surveyor. On the morning of June 27, 2024, an LPN was seen taking the blood pressure of an unsampled resident, cleaning the blood pressure cuff with a disinfectant wipe, and then proceeding to the medication cart without performing hand hygiene after removing gloves. Later, the same LPN donned gloves to administer medication to the resident and removed the gloves afterward, again failing to perform hand hygiene. Interviews with the LPN/Unit Manager and the LPN/Infection Preventionist confirmed that hand hygiene should be performed before and after donning and doffing gloves, as well as after cleaning equipment. The facility's hand hygiene policy, reviewed and revised in June 2023, also states that hand hygiene should be performed when indicated, using proper technique, and that the use of gloves does not replace hand hygiene. The policy specifies that hand hygiene should be performed prior to donning gloves and immediately after removing them.
